So many years later…
(Alarm ring)
I had been having a nightmare but all thanks to this alarm. I felt a force taking me out of a deep well and the moment the alarm rang, I felt pulled out.
My name is Kaye, born into the family of two, all males. My brother Tade, stays in Ekiti while I just finished my university program and I decided to go visit him since it’s over 3 years have seen him. It’s been two days that I’ve been staying with him and I suggested he should take me out . Where do you expect me to take you to? Tade asked
Shoprite, film house, beach, anywhere! I replied him
Yeyedey worry you. Where do you see all those in Ekiti? Tade replied.
The house is boring bro! Do you want me to start packing my bags to Lagos? I asked
Oya now…dey go or wait, will you like to visit Ikogosi? The water spring?
(I jumped up from the bed) Oya now…I said
Alright get set, in two hours’ time we will be leaving. He said and he left my room.
10.23am, we opt inside my brother’s SUV and started driving to Ikogosi. We passed through Odo-Ekiti along Ilawe road from the capital of Ekiti. 10 minutes into the journey, I spotted the crown polytechnic and also the palace of the king of IlaweEkiti. Soon, we were into ErijiyanEkiti

. When we drove into the main town of Erijiyan, we saw some women dressed in colourful attire dancing around the town with drummers also. I wonder what they were celebrating though, but in no time, we got to a roundabout which linked us to IkogosiEkiti and my heart skipped some beats without no reasons. At 11.10am, we got to Ikogosi tourist centre.

. We paid for the ticket and we were led on the way.
Two of their staffs were assigned to us to show us the way and to explain things we need to know. We walked on a wooden constructed bridge and after about a 5 minutes’ walk, we got to the meeting point of both waters. How mysterious! A warm water coming from the left and from the right comes the cold water and they intercept at a point. But after their interception, the water was warm. When I touched the water, I felt some electric current passed through me. I withdrew my hands immediately. None of the staff or my brother noticed this. The staff kept taking us round until he showed us to the source of the warm water. When we got there, he explained to us the importance of the water and how people all over the state and beyond had benefitted from it all this years. According to him, it cures headaches, stomach aches, dandruff and all other ailments. I didn’t know how I managed to get to the source of the warm water, I dipped my hands into it then I drank it and almost immediately the water got to my mouth, the weather changed like it was going to rain then everything went blank.
