THIS IS NOT BANANA ISLAND LAGOS BUT MY COUNTRY HOME IN IHIEVBE, OWAN EAST LOCAL GOVERNMENT, EDO STATE...
This is a journey of about 52 years since my Dad passed on.Today is the first time I'm stepping into the house my cousin built for me in absentia... From Foundation to Completion, I never visited here. I only gave instructions and paid intermittently in trickles. I fixed the concrete Road and the solar powered street lights, painted the entire street, trying to replicate the White House in Washington DC. Please, don't laugh...IHIEVBE is no longer a village but a township in Lagos. Massive thanks to the uncommon builder, FRIDAY AROGHA, my cousin who made this magic possible... And MRS SIMI ALEGBE, who decorated the property so brilliantly for a befitting retirement from the hustle and bustle of Lagos..."-Dele Momodu.
