It was a rainy night in July, the pothole on the roads reflected the streetlights of the estate giving the environment extra lighting and an awkward beauty nobody readily acknowledged.

Julia walked quickly to the estate security booth to avoid getting wet by the slow but constant drizzle associated with this time of year in Warri.

"Good evening" she greeted the security personnel.
"Good evening, where are going?"
"I am going to Mrs Bello's residence at number 5 Valley close"
"Okay I'll put a call across to them to permit entry. What's your name and where are you coming from?"
"Tell madam it's her sister Julia from Hausa quarters"
"Hello madam, good evening, we have Julia at the gate, she says she's your sister from Hausa quarters. Should we grant her access?"
"Good evening Oga security! Please tell her to go back home, in fact let me speak with her"
The security man hand Julia the intercom telephone.
"Hello Julia, please go back home you shouldn't be out by this time."
"Yes Sister but I came to see if I could collect some food stuff from you, we have nothing at home and mummy needs food, so she can take her drugs"
"Julia please go home, I don't have anything for you people. I'm married now and I don't want disturbance from any of you."

Watch out for part 2
