(Cover art Lost Pages) Last year, a friend of mine in Port Harcourt arranged a meeting between myself and a friend of hers. This client needed publicity for his product and he needed it urgently. We had the meeting and I was given the responsibility of attracting customers to this product. I (we) did the best we  could and I went back to Yenagoa.
