” na wa o!, person don tire for this kind life sef. ” the security Man sat with hand akimbo on the small stool in the small room which was located at the gate that serves as his office.
Just then one of his colleague walked into the office and found him in that position.
” na wetin be your own this kind time? ” he said looking at his wristwatch that had stopped working even Before Abraham Lincoln was elected president of America.
The former did not reply the question, but continued in his personal meditation.
