Anini Reloaded - S01 E25

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 25

Since we are heading to Delta State from Lagos, we first of all went to the nearest petrol station, where we bought full tank of fuel at N145 per litre, without bordering to collect our change from the pump attendants.

Our Hazard lights “double trafficators”, were put on as we drove the rout

Apapa–>Ore–>Benin–>Warri–>Ughelli–>Otor-Owhe…

On our way, we were stopped by so many police squads, SARS (Special Anti Robbery Squad), NDLEA (National Drug Law Enforcement Agency), including FRSC (Fedaral Road Safety Corps), who only checked our drivers license, car particulars, and our trunks.

Some collected bribe (Roja Roja), which is a normal levy, motorists on Nigeria Road pay.

OTOR-OWHE

Truly, there is no place like home as i take a portrait view of the community.

Everyone that saw our cars coming stood in attention, stretching their faces out, to see the persons inside each of the cars.

Parcy who always wanted to be noticed, parked his car as soon as we got to the market square, where most of the villagers where found trading.

I have driven some distance ahead since I was in front, when I noticed some villagers shouting.

I parked the Venza and looked through my side mirror. ‘Parcy is on it again’ I exclaimed.

He was shouting “Ratata, Na money go shame” as he threw one thousand naira notes into the air. I came out from the car and run back to meet him.

“Before I could stopped him, Great-kali has already talked to him to take things easy.

To make the embarrassment have a meaningful interpretation, I used the opportunity to address the villagers

ME: I believe you all know me?

VILLAGERS: Yes, we know you

YOUNG LADY: Eli, son of Late Mr. Ayis

ME: Good! Your brother, your son, your friend is back home with surprise package. I have made it big as I talk to you, and I’m ready to develop my home town, so please go back to your various homes and businesses. Just expect an unbelievable surprise from me and my friends before we leave

VILLAGES: EHHHHHHHH!!!

(they were all shouting with Joy as we entered our cars, and drove off)

My mother and siblings who have been outside, waiting for our arrival rushed towards the flashy cars, as they saw us approaching.

We parked at a suitable spot in the compound and alighted.

Firstly, I rushed down to my mum and gave her a warm hug, before hugging Joy and Lucky.

They were really pleased to see me as their mood changes from a mendicant with nothing, to that of queen and kings.

We were ushered in by my mum, who without hesitation brought out a tray of food that has already been served for us.

MUM: Joy come fast with the washing hand basin oo

JOY: I’m coming mama

ME: Mama you will not stop

MUM: Stop what, see if you don’t want to eat you can leave here, so your friends can eat well

PARCY: Mama G, migwor jare

(My mum looked at him surprisingly, after which she smiled)

MUM: This you friend must be funny

ME: They are my business partners, you still remember Great-kali na?

(Joy came with a bowl of water meant for washing hands)

MUM: If I forget him then i’m an ungrateful person. He is the saviour God sent to our family

GREAT-KALI: Mama don’t mention

MUM: We have alot to talk about, but please the food is set… Lucky go and buy water for them na?

Lucky was about going when Parcy called him back;

PARCY: Sorry my brother, just take this ten thousand naira and get us Eva water okay, you can buy anything you want with the change

LUCKY: Okay

(Lucky was closed to the door when my Mum called his name)

They both went out together, only God knows what my mum wants to tell him.

We were left alone with Joy who watched us happily as we eat.

PARCY: Bros Anini, this your sister fine oo

ME: Bros Anini did not come na?

(I took his ears and whisper

silently: Guy use ur head, my name na Eli for house oo)

PARCY: OO! I forgot, I wanted to say Eli, you know you both look alike

GREAT-KALI: Yes they look alike but Anini has a very small nose compare to Eli

PARCY: Babe come, make I reason with you

JOY: Me?

PARCY: Yes

ME: Parcy you better use your head, my sister is older than you with good 2yrs so respect her

PARCY: She be my sister too na? More so she small Pass babes when I dey control for ashawo. com

Joy was standing in his front

PARCY: Go help me buy a packet of Benson

JOY: What Benson?

PARCY: Cigarette, or don’t you_____

(I quickly intrude, although Joy must have code)

ME: Joy he is trying to send you down to Mr. Benson’s Chemist shop, to get him Cilostazol

JOY: Okay bros

ME: Come here, come and have the money

(I gave her the money and she left)

ME: Patata you nor fit coordinate yourself? nor let pipo notice us abeg. You just do one for the market square, you won come do another one here, abeg behave

PARCY: My English name na coordinator, base on patata tins

GREAT-KALI: Nor do patata for here, because we nor carry criers come this place

PARCY: I hear you!

We ate till we got filled, before my mum and Lucky came with the Eva Premium Table Water (75cl carton-12ct).

We took one of the water each, and washed our hands.

Great-kali and Parcy greeted my mum for the meal, which makes her smiled endlessly.

We all gisted for some minutes before Joy came back with the drug, and a surprising news;

JOY: Mama! Brother! You won’t believe it

MUM: What happened?

ME: Joy talk, did anything happened on your way back?

JOY: Nothing bad

ME: Then why did you shout our names?

LUCKY: Bros Eli abeg leave Joy, this is exactly how she behaves when you are not around. She plays with everything, I wonder how she will even pass her WAEC GCE

JOY: I’m not playing, on my way back from Mr. Benson’s chemist shop, I saw some elders and villagers walking towards our home, shouting long live the son of Ayis….

We were all shocked…

Imagine what Parcy have caused… Its obvious they have gotten information that Parcy sprayed money, so they are coming to collect their shares.
