Joy in Unexpected Places

Whenever life leads me to Ikorodu, I'm traumatized even before I begin the journey, because, WHY SO FAR????! 😩😩 

I mean Ikorodu should be outside Nigeria, really 

But the last time I was there, I found reasons to want to make that traumatizing trip over and over again, again and again😂

Guys! Iya Risi's ofada rice stew! It is not of this world, my ohhhhhhhhhhhhh my ohhhhh my 🤤😋😋

I tasted it for the first time last week and I'm not ashamed to say that I am head over heels in love with a pot of stew😌

But on a more serious note...

I want to go back to Ikorodu because of this angel right here...

She could only make meaningless sounds due to a brain malfunction yet she spoke to the weariness of my soul, she reached my heart and melted every heaviness. I usually do not attract kids to myself, so I still wonder why this little angel chose me that fateful Friday morning, I was in a bad place but this girl's laughter and joy just by being intrigued by my phone broke down all of my walls...

IMIOLUWA, may your laughter never cease, may you bring such joy to everyone you meet and may you fulfill destiny.

Now what were we saying about Iya Risi's ofada rice stew?😅

Ikorodu! I Elizabeth de' Row endorse you as one of the 'Places you should look out for in 2023'😋😂
