DIARY OF A LAGOS HOUSE GIRL

Stories start in different ways but I guess for you to have a proper understanding of who I am and what I do for a living, I need to start from the very beginning.
I am the sixth child in a family of six and I grew up with my mother and siblings. Did I mention to you that all the six children are from different men? If not, then take note. My mother (Etun) runs a beer parlour at a lorry park in my village in Akwa Ibom and till date, the most bubbling in the entire lorry park.
My mother is the very quiet type but you get to hear her voice when different women come to the shop to fight over husband snatching issues. I hate such days, so do my siblings
Talking about my siblings, let me introduce them all
1st child: Edet AKA Jango
Age; 30
Occupation: Armed Robbery
Present location: In Jail
Edet is the first son. Gist has it that his father is the motor park chairman, Mr Bassey.
2nd Child: Lilian and Bola-Lilian is half-caste and Bola is black (Don’t ask me how cos I grew up to meet them that way) Gist has it that mother gave birth to them 9 months after some white men visited Obudu cattle ranch and spent a night in Utom, Akwa Ibom because they had to work on their bus in the park.
Age: 28 respectively
Occupation: They are both professional escorts
