                         EPISODE 1.
Adrian is a 27 year old young man who just finished service and just like every young man had dreams of a better life. After  some months, he moved to Lagos in search of the proverbial '' greener pastures''

Five months later, Adrian had landed a job in a construction company,but he was just a junior staff ,which means; he would have to climb the corporate ladder in order to be truly successful. For now in a city like Lagos, certain pay is just going to keep you at the struggling levels and Adrian is an ambitious guy who knew the pains of coming from a very poor background where going through school was indeed a miracle.

Therefore he became determined to change his family's story by making it in Lagos. After all the family was already counting on him. Adrian was going to buy land for the family, he would build a house for at least his mum for all the sacrifice she made towards his education and being where he is now, he would also place her on a monthly salary of say  #5000-#10000. Then finally he did buy her different types of costly wrappers and shoes to make up for all those lost years. Ehen, now anyone who sees her will now know that finally her sufferings have paid off.

Now note one major problem; in all of these Adrian's needs,dreams and desire took a back seat. How dare him dream when he has a thousand and one family obligations?
And so when Adrian came to Lagos ,he was an already burdened young man who was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.

"Hello mama,how are you doing? This was Adrian calling his mom.
" Ady, I'm fine its just my back that has being a source of constant pain and my that woman that I bought fish from for three months now that has being coming to the house for money.  She lets out a sad sigh in order to convey the gravity of the situation. As it is now, there is no food in the house. I just sent nma to go to that woman we use to buy from to see if she will agree to sell rice on credit for us,when we get will pay her back " That's how it is my son.
There was a deafening silence at the other end of the line. All of a sudden it was as if he was already failing.
"Nna are you still there?

" hmm mama, I'm still here " he replied.  " I don't know I'd there is any little thing you can send to us so we will be managing until you get a job.

The expression on Adrian can best be described as incredulous.
"I will see what I can do " was all he muttered. The line went dead.

Meanwhile, he was still squatting with an old friend from uni, who has been kind enough to house him in his one room self con pending when he would get a job. Where was he going to get money to send home? All these and more plagued this promising young man who has spent four months relentlessly looking for job in order to assume family responsibilities.
