Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 66
Brainbox also tried running but was held firmly by
one of the guys.
That was the beginning of our sorrows. I and
Brainbox.
“you see this ur s’hit? U go chop am” The guy on
black singlet threatened. “bros, e better make
you cut my head with this cutlass oh, i no go chop
my s’hit, God forbid!!” I sounded stubborn.
“oya lie down for this ur s’hit” the guy that held
Brainbox commanded him.
Since i was already seating on my poo, there was
no need for me to seat or lie on my poo.
“I say begin chop ur s’hit” The guy on black singlet
ordered for the umpteenth time. “bros, e better
make i die than for me to chop my s’hit” I boldly
spoke.
“u wan die abi? Okay choose one; you go chop ur
s’hit or you go pay 2000naira fine, or as you wan
die, i go cut ur head” He gave me three options.
“bros, 2000naira too much na, when una catch
Bigie na 1000naira him say him pay” I almost said.
“i say choose one!” He yelled. “bros, i no go fit
chop my s’hit and i no go fit pay 2k” I stated.
“okay choose the place for ur neck wey i go cut?”
He said bringing the machete to touch my neck.
The coldness of the machete on my neck sent cold
shivers down my spine.
For a while, i forgot i wasn’t caught alone, but
with my friend Brainbox.
“Agwo dem this boys no get money oh, make we
arrange their Eshi for our Chairman” One of the
guys that held Brainbox said dragging Brainbox to
where i sat. “na wetin we go do be that na” The
guy called Agwo replied.
If you are Ibo, you would agree with me that
Agwo is a dangerous name. Dangerous because it
means Snake. The guy called Agwo was really as
merciless as a Snake. He was the same guy that
wanted me to eat my poo.
“Agwo them this boys no get money oh, make we
arrange their Eshi for our Chairman” I recalled
what one of the guys said earlier.
If Eshi in Ibo means Head, then i would leave you
to say the kind of Soup we were in; Okro, Egusi, or
better still Ogbono soup.
It instantly dawned on me that these guys wanted
to give our heads to their “Chairman” who would
use it for Money rituals.
