Been doing some home/office calling recently; I've probably been to your area two times over, if you live in Lagos. I couldn't help noticing how much Lagos of my memory has become just that; memories! Neighbourhoods that used to be friendly and warm because of the community life therein, have all become cold and noisy because they now have tables, chairs, air conditioners and generating sets as the permanent residents instead of humans. An average residential area of yesterday, that boomed with life and warmth of a community, has become a dark lonely alley with little or no life left in it, as residents cede their homes to offices and businesses ready to pay fortunes to have them. Look around you, take a walk down your street, and round your estate, it will shock you to realise how many offices there are, taking up buildings meant for residential purposes.
