Mark Vs. Marek: Tales of Ishawuru Pt. 1 – [Another Perspective By Oluwole Leigh]

The year is 2020. Three men walk in the middle of the night. Their destination is a town called Ota on the Outskirts of Lagos. They arrive at a White garment church. Songs such as 'Jah Elo, Elo, Jah Elo, Elo' rend the air. The Church leader's body is contorting and twisting as he enters into some sort of trance. The leader of the Walking Trio asks one of them if that is their destination. He gets a negative response. They continue walking. They see a lone hut afar off. As they move closer to the hut, they see some inscriptions on the wall which read 'Ile Ishawuru'. They approach the hut quietly. They notice a visitor's register with a list of names and addresses. Names such as Linda- Linda Ikeji Blog, Ladun Liadi Blog, Ayeni - thenet.ng, Chude - ynaija.com are seen in the worn-out notebook. The first one writes his name - Jason - Spark . The second man writes his name - Mark - hotels.ng . The 3rd man writes his name. Bankole - Interpreter.
