I answered Him pointing out where he should go. He thanked me and i was then faced with an arduous task.
I implore you, never for a moment think the unemployment figures are a farce. As I arrived the interview venue, it was a mini reunion of some sorts
Gaddemit
I asked myself can it get any worse? Progress, torn trouser, penis that may never rise. What else can happen?
I was answered in the bus
Lagos buses have a life of their own. You meet different kind of people. Happy, sad, crazy, and perpetually angry as was the case with the guy (mugabe) who had barely stayed 10mins in the bus and had threatened to slap someone and kill another
“Your mama left nyash” he told another woman
“Stupid man” she replied
“Oga e don do na. No Dey exchange word with woman na. Do like man”
“lawyer without certificate mind yourself” he retorted
GHEN GHEN
Cos he had insulted the wrong person
Mile 2? The conductor enquired. People responded, mugabe the loudest. “No dare pass my bustop o!”
2mins later, at about 9pm, the bus arrived mile 2 and was thrown into chaos as mugabe realised he had become an item with his sit. He tried many times to get up to no avail.
Each time he tried,I died inside.
I mean how does this juju thing really work?
With each try to get up, mugabe’s faith waned while mine was long dead and in the tomb with no hope of resurrection.
I’m there looking like baba try pluck another strand Abeg I too want to be free please na
This women decided to be their brothers keepers in this case and summoned their inner de gea.
And oh! There was a catch to the slaps. He could not scream
It began
👋 towaiiiiiii!!!
The slap resonated deep. Mugabe wanted to shout, wanted to call his ancestors but last minute baba held back like
👋 👋 tawaiiiii
The slaps kept raining. The entire bus was laughing. Baba even had a wan smile on his face.
When it got to the last two women baba insisted it must be backhand slap.
Mugabe was dying. He wanted to call 911. He looked at them like pity me na?
Maza maza? Owa! The response came from people in the bus. This was my bustop. I tried standing and no!
The baba from the bus.
What again sir?
I had almost made the staircase when the baba called to me asking if I was the one in the bus beside mugabe.
Ermm
Ah I said it. It’s not ordinary hand they used to use and have cat as pet. Her father was a baba. See am?
They hugged and as they were going upstairs he winked and made a sign with his hand of silence to me
I ended Progress’ how tomorrow go be baba na me and you o call.
Turned off the tv and went to bed.
I had had enough for one day.
The End
With Love
Uncle Stephen
