“At least we are better than Lekki residents for once. We can bail out

our own water but they can‟t. Have you seen the pictures? Some of

their houses are completely submerged and they have crocodile in the

water.”

“You can be sure that the government will intervene in some way and

help them. Just wait and see the billions that will move in that

direction when this is over. Remember when bar beach overflowed? But

for us, nobody cares!”

“Has anyone noticed that this house is sinking?” Akunna said as he

scraped the floor with his bailer.

“What?” Josiah said.

“Can‟t you see we are now below ground level? This place was a swamp

and with all this rain the filling they did cannot hold anymore. Can‟t you

see that to step out we now have to literally climb onto the street?”

“Oga Akunna. That means we are living in an underground apartment”

Josiah said with a grin and wiped sweat from his brow.

“You are stupid. I am telling you that this defective structure is going

under. We may wake up one day to find that we have vanished into the

ground like Atlantis.”

“Then they will put our pictures on CNN like the victims of that high

rise building in London. We will become famous.”

“You will be dead you fool.”

“But at least, we will be on CNN.”

“Look at you” Lukman said. Those that died in T.B Joshua‟s church,

ordinary Linda Ikeji blog we did not see their passport photographs.

You will be lucky if PM News mentions Katakata Street, not to talk of

one useless carpenter that lived there.
