We meet Sixtus the driver whose love for a particular delicacy has him biting off more than he can chew, and we laugh to our heart's delight. but all is not humourous in this collection; anything can happen in the city of Lagos, a man disappears after a Champions League semi-final and we are drawn into his wife travails, we shine a light on paedophilia through the keen eyes of a gossip, we take a peek at what love and lust look like on the internet, then we head to Oguta where a ritual to revive a sick husband takes an unexpected turn. Despite the human tendency to betray and disappoint, we encounter stories that show how people tread life on a carpet of love and hope
