Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 43
“oga Benson give us Tea” Man ordered as we
got
to Oga Benson’s shop. “how many tablet?” Oga
Benson asked.
“Flow how many dose u want?” Man asked me.
“na
one dose oh, i never wan die, my time never
reach”
i confessed.
“Brainbox, you nkor?” He asked Brainbox, “na
two
dose i want” Brainbox answered.
“see Brainbox dey ask for two dose oh, abi him
think say tramadol na paracetamol?” i tot.
I just hope he wouldn’t regret asking for two
dose.
Well, all i had to do was to exercise patience
for
time to tell.
Man collected the money for one dose from me.
So
the 130naira i had left was reduced to
100naira.
“make we go barb our hair na” Man suggested,
“make we go, my bear bear don grow well well
sef”
i said, “but which better barber go fit barb us
wella?” Brainbox asked, “Ade na correct
barber, him
go fit barb us” Man replied. “who be Ade?” i
asked
Man.
“when we reach there, u go see am” i knew
the
answer before he answered.
Like a typical Yoruba guy, Ade was playing the
song of his name sake Sunny Ade when we
entered his barber’s shop.
I wondered what would make a typical
“O’femmanu” boy like Ade leave his O’femmanu
land for greener pastures in the “Land of the
Jews”. I promised myself i would find out.
Ade was a tall dark guy. He was the perfect
description of Handsome Hunk. He was very
handsome, but something spoilt his
handsomeness;
his tribal marks.
He was the perfect description of, “i fight
Lion,
Lion com finger me for face”.
Ade’s barber’s shop was beautiful, frankly
speaking
the most beautiful of all the barber’s shop i
had
seen in a long while.
“Ade shebi to barb and shave na 150?” Man
asked,
“Yes na, una wan barb?” Ade asked a s’tupid
question, “no we come to play ball for your
barbing
salon” i almost said.
“Brainbox abeg, na 100naira i hold here and i
wan
barb and shave, help me with 50naira make i
add” I
whispered to Brainbox as we sat waiting for
our
turn. “if i give u 50naira, u go pay me back
100naira, u aggree?” Brainbox said, “comot
jor, u
too like money, money wey mistake enter ur
pocket don miss road be dat” i cursed.
I turned left and asked Man to help me with
the
50naira. Onlike Brainbox, he gave me the
money
without thinking twice. That was why i so much
loved “Man wey dey reason”, he was selfless
and
not selfish.
