DAY. SAME SCENE.
Mary, Rose, chatting …
ROSIE
I’m really glad to see you again, Mary.
MARY
Same here, Rosie. Same here.
ROSIE
Now tell me, when did you arrive, and how is Los Angeles?
MARY
Oh! LA is fine. I arrived last week Friday. Rosie, you know what … I can’t believe you are still with this guy after all these years?
ROSIE
It’s my life, pal … It’s my life …
MARY
Now, I’m no longer surprised.
ROSIE
What at?
MARY
Our friends are making a topical issue out of the situation. I mean, that’s all I got from them since my arrival.
ROSIE
I see … Well, everyone is entitled to his or her opinion.
Abuja is the capital and eighth most populous city of Nigeria, according to Wikipedia. Situated in the middle of the country within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), it is a planned city built mainly in the 1980s based on a master plan by International Planning Associates (IPA), a consortium of three American planning and architecture firms made up of Wallace, Roberts, McHarg & Todd (WRMT – a group of architects) as the lead, Archi systems International (a subsidiary of the Howard Hughes Corporation), and Planning Research Corporation. The Central Business District of Abuja was designed by Japanese architect Kenzo Tange. It replaced Lagos, the country's most populous city, as the capital on 12 December 1991.
Abuja's geography is defined by Aso Rock, a 400-metre (1,300 ft) monolith left by water erosion. The Presidential Complex, National Assembly, Supreme Court and much of the city extend to the south of the rock. Zuma Rock, a 792-metre (2,598 ft) monolith, lies just north of the city on the expressway to Kaduna.
This was Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye's maiden speech to the nation, a speech delivered on April 3rd, 2024, coincidentally on the eve of Senegal's 64th Independence Day.
