Act one, scene three

Vehicles are seen racing on the Madala road towards the famous Zuma rock. The camera gives a picture of the side tracks of the road with a range of wild green plants. Patrick, Abisola and Bola are sitting in a yellow shuttle. They chatted with the driver alongside:

ABISOLA: (Smiles) ......... Abuja is a beautiful city.

TAXI DRIVER: Yes, it is. (Adjusts seat belt)

PATRICK: The green plants adds colour to the naturalness of this road. The atmosphere is quite serene. The people have been so wonderful too. I really enjoyed our stay.

BOLATITO: I sensed that too. No wonder it is the capital of the whole federation.

PATRICK: Oh Oh!

ABISOLA: ( Squanders her braids) Oga driver! Do you guys meet like the NURTW folks do in Lag?

TAXI DRIVER: (displays he can't find an answer to Abisola's question) In fact, myself and others commercial motorists find it more pleasurable driving on our roads.

BOLATITO: This is interesting!

ABISOLA: But, have you ever been to Lagos where I hail from?

TAXI DRIVER: (Exclaims) Na just once ooo... Those Lagos wardens can be very funny, my sister.

PATRICK: Really? I hope to travel to Lagos in years to come.

BOLATITO: (Jests) Lagos blah blah blah....... Here we are in the centre of Unity. We haven't said our prayers, remember?

[Total silence surpassed while the prayer session lasts]
