AFAMEFUNA POV

I can’t believe finally I am in Nigeria, I felt the hot wind as it hits my face, wow never knew Nigeria was an oven well maybe because I have never experience the weather here but am here now, how was I going to find my way around here, well my father have told me there will be someone to pick me up but I can’t find anyone holding a paper with my name on it well I guess I have to figure it out myself, I proceed to the front door.
Murtala Muhammad International Airport was fill with people from all works of life, both Britishs, Americans, Africans and more, it was big and beautiful I must confess, I was still admiring the place when I felt the present of someone immediately I turned to see a young man probably my age mate smiling at me, I was a bit confused until he spoke.

MAN : you must be prince Afamefuna from Amucha kingdom.

AFAMEFUNA: yes I am and you are.
Almost immediately he bow his head down, this made me a little embarrassed as I start looking left and right.

MAN: my name is victor Enyinnaya, am a son of the soil, I was asked by the king to pick you up.

AFAMEFUNA: okey can you rise up now you are already causing a scene.

He did as I said and lead me to his car that was parked just few walk away from me, he took my two luggage’s from me, as soon as we got to his car he opened the back sit for me, like seriously.

AFAMEFUNA:
That you so much but I will love to sit at the front.

He looked confused but I had not time to say another word to him I moved to the front door, I gently opened it and went in, he stoop there for some time before putting my luggage’s in the car and took his position at the driver sit, he starts the car and we went on our way, we drove in silent as I envy the beauty of Lagos.

VICTOR : my prince.

I turned to face him.

AFAMEFUNA : yes

VICTOR: you will be lodging in an hotel for today, tomorrow your flight will be leaving for Imo state.

AFAMEFUNA: I thought we were heading to Amucha right now.

VICTOR: no we are not, it far from here so you will be taking a flight, you could have moved today but your flight was cancelled dew to some problem, your tickets has already been taken care of.

AFAMEFUNA : wow, ok no problem, thank you.

VICTOR: thank you my prince.

We continue our journey in silence, not long we drove into a massive building, after parking we both came down, almost immediately a man dress in a working uniform came to us, he greeted us warmly and took the luggage from victor, I was impressed with the services they offer here, well they have shown first impression.

We followed the man and got to the receptionist, she also with her beautiful face and chocolate skin welcomed us with a warm smile which we did same.

RECEPTIONIST : welcome to Grands hotel and suite, how may we be of help.

VICTOR: a reservation was made for prince Afamefuna Nwanyi.

RECEPTIONIST : oh of course, you are welcome, please one minute let me put a call through to the manager.

I was surprised at her response, do I need a manager just because I have a reservation here or is it how they welcome everyone with a reservation. Not long a man I think in his late 60s walked to us, he welcome us, mostly me warmly leading us to my room, the hotel matches with its name, Grand Hotel and suite, we took the elevator and in no time we were at my room, it was beautiful I most say, it was a suite with everything screaming wealth, if this is how the rest of the rooms are then this hotel needs to come out first in the Guinness book of records, the manager left after he showed and told me things I needed to know.

AFAMEFUNA : wow, like seriously what with all the formality.

VICTOR: you don’t know
That sound confusing.

AFAMEFUNA : know what.

VICTOR: your father is the owning of this hotel.

My mouth almost drop to the ground, whatttt, you must be kidding me, yes I knew my father had a lot of businesses but never knew hotel was included and one as big and luxury as this, now you can imagine my surprise.

VICTOR: I will leave you know so you can rest, I will be here tomorrow morning by 10am to take you to the airport.

I couldn’t respond because I was still lost in the surprise message I just got that I didn’t know when he left, it was the sound of the close door that brought me out of my thought.

I was indoor for the rest of the day, I wouldn’t want another episode of what happened hours ago to repeat itself, I easily feel embarrassed in things like that. Night gone and morning came, I checked the time and it says 8:39 am, I woke up so I could get prepare before victor comes, there was something different about this morning and I love the feeling, I just can’t wait to see my parents, I called room service for breakfast which arrived 10minutes after, I had already brushed my teeth, after eating my breakfast I had my bath and got dress, just as I locked my luggage the door bell rang, I went to opened the door and saw Victor standing with the manager, we exchanged pleasantries and in no time I was in the car with victor on my way to the airport.

VICTOR: you are humble for a prince.

I was taken back by his statement.

AFAMEFUNA: excuse me

VICTOR : most prince lack manners but you my prince don’t.

I didn’t know when I start laughing.

AFAMEFUNA: seriously, come on am only human.

VICTOR: that’s because you are saying that, most feel like a god, am proud to call you my prince.

AFAMEFUNA : you are not bad yourself, and please just call me Afam, it more better.

VICTOR: you see what I am saying.

And we both went into another round of laughter.

AFAMEFUNA:
It’s nice meeting you.

VICTOR: I should be the one saying that.
We continue our discussion and said our goodbyes but not without him exchanging his phone numbers to me, I had no Nigeria line for now, in no time I was in the plane heading to my home town, judging from the first day in Nigeria I knew the rest of my stay will be memorable.
