Adeshola's pov

My name is Adeshola Omoluabi,
I'm a Nigerian (Yoruba to be precise)
I'm 16 years old, dark skin and a little bit on the bigger side.
I'm leaving Nigeria today and going to London to further my education.

"Shola ,shola "my mother screams come down the stairs it's time to go.
Excitedly I rushed down the stairs,greeted the maid and entered the car.
As the driver drove out of the compound my mother started lecturing me saying"Shola se o Mo PE ibi ton lo Yi ki da bi Nigeria. Ki gboron si nkan ti aunty e so,ki ma Se ise kuse
ma ki egbe kegbe Omo mi. Sho gbo"(Shola do you know where you are going is not like Nigeria.
Listen to your aunty, don't do rubbish and don't join bad gangs my child have you heard)
Frustrated I reply yes ma Mo ti gbo(I have heard .
On the way to the airport we bought drinks and food to refresh ourselves.

Due to the tremendous amount of traffic on the road we got to the airport in 5 hours. My parents prayed for me and I was left alone at the airport to figure myself out.After all necessary documents were checked,I was allowed to board the plane
I settled in my seat and prepared my self for the flight. I was seated beside a really nice woman and we chatted a lot.After a while I started watching a movie on the tablets provided by the plane.
After a few hours we got to our destination. I unboarded the plane went through the necessary processes and grabbed my luggage.i exited the airport put on my phone and saw multiple text messages from my friends,my mom and.y aunt ranti who I'm staying with by the way.
She told me she was almost there
While I was waiting I decided to reply my friends messages.
Honk honk!! A car that stopped in front of me horned. Startled I dropped my price. On picking it up I saw my aunt ranti and hugged her.

'It's been so long ' she said to me.
You are so big now, You have gained so much weight she said to me . We entered the car and she started telling me stories of herself and my mom when we they were younger.
We finally got to her house .
I Carried my life and enterrd the house.

"Shola ,big girl. Welcome to our house" said her husband .I knelt and greeted him. "Celia come downstairs and show you cousin to her room"
My aunt called her daughter.
Immediately I saw her coming down the stairs I squealed and we hugged each other and she carried my luggage and we went up stairs.
On our way to my new room ,I briefed her about my flight.she helped drop my bag in the room and we sat on the bed and talked for a long time.
After a while I took out my phone and called my best friend Toro. We talked and talked and I introduced her to Celia . A few moments later aunty ranti start shouting telling us to go sleep and that we have a big day ahead of us.
Reluctantly,I stood up took a much needed shower, prayed, read my Bible and slept
