Where do you think will be good to take Carla to in<br />

Lagos?<br />

I think it will be nice for Carla to see the Lagos beach<br />

so that she can find out the difference between Nigerian<br />

beaches and American beaches. She will see different<br />

Pentecostal Christians that pray on the beach.<br />

After the beach, where else shall we go?<br />

I would like Carla to see the part where slave traders<br />

used to ship Yoruba slaves to Europe and the America<br />

at Badagry. This place might bring tears to her eyes<br />

because it will let her see why many Yoruba people<br />

ended up as slaves in Cuba and Brazil. Who knows?<br />

Maybe part of your mom’s heritage started from<br />

Yorubaland.<br />

Hm! Where else can we take her to? Remember we only<br />

have two days to spend in Lagos.<br />

The third place I would like Carla to see is Leki. I want<br />

her to see the riches in Nigeria located in Lagos as she<br />

will see the poverty in Lagos also. If she can see these<br />

three places I will be happy.<br />

I will be happy too. And I know that Carla will be<br />

happy also.<br />
