Episode 5
I entered the taxi again after buying the suya.
Please move quickly, I instructed the driver.
I was attempting to keep the driver preoccupied so that he wouldn’t see what I was doing at the back seat.
However, the driver seems to be a talker, and I didn’t feel comfortable at all.
“Oga face front make motor no come jam us na? I said contorted my face.
Okay my sister, he replied.
Immediately I dipped my hand inside my bag to remove the substance, the driver quickly turned again with another useless discussion,
Ooh, What’s wrong with this man? ” I muttered silently.
When he noticed that am not happy with the discussion, he now make use of the front mirror and be sighting me.
I don’t know why Buhari dey make things hard for this country,he said,
Imagine, a liter of fuel is now 690 naira.
How him wan make poor people survive na? He asked.
Buhari or Tinubu? I retorted ,
Oh oh oh, na mistake my sister, na Tinubu ,he said.
Eheh,. Be specific na, I yelled indignantly.
No vex my sis, their names look alike,na it dey confused me so o, he said.
Oga leave me abeg, the country go only better if only you go mind our business. I said pointing my mouth on him.
I was so furious that I didn’t think before responding.
But there is no doubt, he was saying the truth;
nowadays, hunger is the order of the day.
The citizens are suffering excessively as a result of terrible leaders. I thought.
It’s very frightening to think about how many individuals that have to beg for money on a daily basis before they eat.
No jobs for people, but living expenses are high.
How then are you going to fight crime when you, as the leader, are not acting morally?
I didn’t stop thinking till we arrived at the hotel.
As soon as I got out of the taxi, Ken smiled while displaying all 32 of his teeth.
Ewu, i abused him silently and open my teeth at the same time.
Though I was really upset, but I feigned to be happy.
We exchange pleasantries and hugged each other so passionately,
Nawao, so your worst enemy can pretend to love you, even when he or she wants to k!// You? I reasoned.
The way and manner I was acting, no one would know If I was with a harmful substances.
I approached his hear and quietly informed him that I had purchased suya on my way coming.
Oh, that’s kind of you, he replied before walking over to the hotel’s Bush Bar.
As he moved, I drew him back, “I don’t want bush bar, I commanded.
Why? He asked.
I suggested that we head to the main bar.
He paused for a moment, and later agreed.
I love main bar because its always dark even on a day time, and I guess I can fulfill my plans there.
so as soon as we sat down and ordered for a drink, I brought out the suya and purposefully hide the toothpick for him to eat with his bare hand.
honey, I called.
please go and watch your hands so that we can eat the suya, I said in a romantic way.
No need sweetheart, my hands are clean, he replied.
Babes, please be romantic, how can you tell me that? I said frowning my face as if I was angry.
Ohhk ma, he said and stood up to go wash his hands.
