Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 113
“make we give the salon Masflobtebap cutz, all of
us name dey there” Man suggested a name that
sound like latin.
“no, make we give am Brain cutz” Brainbox
suggested. “which kin name be that one? Na Brain
we go dey cut abi na hair” I attacked.
“why don’t we name it Divine favour cutz” Pkc
suggested.
“Pkc that one na church name na, no be church we
wan open na” Man said.
Left to our selfish suggestions, we would had
written a Dictionary that night. Because Baba jay
for instance would want the name of the Barber’s
shop to be “Baba the Baba”, while Snoop certainly
would want it to be named “Snoop Dogg”.
We all sat trying to figure out the best name for
our Barber’s shop. In my mind i was thinking of
“Flow cutz” as a picture perfect name for the
Barber’s shop, i never mentioned it out, because
it was centered on the name Flow.
Snoop who had been quiet althrough came up with
the most peferred name when he said, “since na
all of us join money start the business, and all of
us na big boys, make we call am Big Boys cutz”.
The name sounded perfect to me, and i was sure it
also sounded perfect to everyone save Pkc. What i
wanted hearing from Pkc was “Divine Big Boys
cutz”. Yes, we needed Divine prosperity in the
business, but we must not add “Divine” to the
name for this to come to past.
“ehnnnnn! Thats a nice name” Pkc said what
stunned me.
“Pkc you like the name?” I needed to confirm.
“yeah! Its a nice name” He nodded.
“who go dey barb hair for the barbing salon sef?”
Man asked.
“na me na!” Baba jay and Snoop said at the same
time.
“the two of you can barb well?” Pkc asked.
“i be expert barber, na for barbing salon my Mama
born me na” Baba jay said.
Born in the Barber’s shop indeed! And born with
epilepsy.
At that moment, i was imagining Baba jay cutting
someone’s hair and epilepsy attack struck. There
would be two things involved; either customers
would stop coming to our Barber’s shop because
they would think the owners are demonic, or
customers would from that day refuse Baba jay
from cutting their hair, i think the latter would
be milder.
“what of you Snoop, can you cut hair well?” Pkc
asked.
“na for barbing salon i do my six months IT that
time wey i dey school na” Snoop answered.
Very funny!! Snoop had previously told us he did
his six months Student Industrial Work Experience
Scheme(SIWES) in his Cousin’s Barber’s shop at
Onitsha.
