| Murtala Muhammad International Airport at night. Picture by me. |
This is the longest I have been away from Nigeria at a stretch and it shows. Everything reminds me of home.
This morning, the buzz of a lawnmower and the leafy smell of freshly cut grass remind me of my father and his incessant mowing of our outsized lawn. Ibadan.
Close the door to keep the smell out and the lawnmower’s buzz morphs into something resembling the cacophony of electricity generators. Lagos.
Home never leaves you.
