Tango with me

Dwarfed against the Third Mainland Bridge, two teen boys move in practiced rhythm on their banana boat. One holds the paddle, one prepares the net. This is their tango, a dance learned young, choreographed by necessity. In a city that never stops, survival is finding your partner and learning the steps together. One leads, one follows. One navigates, one casts. The rhythm is trust, the music is hope, and the stage is water beneath infrastructure built for a different Lagos. This is how you dance when the city won't slow down for you.
