Men Dey Reason - S01 E125

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 125

The ringing of my phone woke me, i recieved the

call. It was Pkc asking me where we were, since i

dreamt i was sailing in a Ship that was as big as

the famous Titanic Ship, and the container we

slept in looked like the Ship, i almost told Pkc we

were sailing in Titanic Ship.

I could feel the pains of the bruise on my

forehead as i stood up. With Man still irresponsibly

lying like a log of Iloko tree on the floor. His

mouth was still wide open and i saw a Sugar Ant

almost crawled into it.

“mumu you no go wake up, Ant go just waka enter

your mouth” I tapped him.

I had totally forgotten there was a big mirror in

the Barber’s shop, as i turned, the Mirror Image

of myself almost made be shouted, “Blood of

Jesus”.

The u’gly Image of myself reminded me of “the

Beast” in the movie “Beauty and the Beast”.

Legend has it that it is normal for one to be u’gly

early in the morning.

So the most beautiful girl in the world would

definately be a shadow of herself when she wakes

up in the morning. Or so i tot.

“fine boy like me nahim this mirror make me

worwor like pig, this mirror dey lie, na fake

mirror, i go tell Baba jay make him go change am”

I told myself.

I was wondering if “Hang over” was the twin

brother to “U.gliness”, because i could feel i had

hang over.

I was still baffled at my u’gliness when i heard

footsteps walking towards the shop, i heard

someone asked, “na inside the shop them dey?”.

“yes na inside the shop i put them” the other voice

replied, which was a female voice.

“who put us inside this shop na? na we waka with

our leg enter the shop na” i told myself as i looked

for where i would hide.

Since the voices weren’t the voices of my guys, i

concluded they were the Buccaneers coming to

get us.

And maybe offer us as a sacrifice to their gods. Or

so i tot.

I heard Haruna’s C.ocks crowed in succession.

“why i go dey fear ordinary buccaneer boys, i be

Aro bagger na” I consoled myself.

Consolation was what i needed at that moment as

i heard my heart climbing the ladder of my throat.

I saw Man hiding behind the standing fan. Could a

standing fan give him the desired refuge? I asked

myself.

Kettle calling pot black, i wasn’t any better as i

hid behind the Generator.

You wouldn’t blame us, would you? In such

situation anything could serve as a refuge, even a

shoe.

I expected the footsteps to stop abruptly in front

of the shop, but i still heard it moved further.

I heard someone walking round the Barber’s shop

whistling.

I concluded the Buccaneers wanted to set the

Barber’s shop ablaze when i heard; “bring the

galon of Kerosene, and bring matches sef”.

My heartbeat stopped instantly and i cried

bitterly knowing my Life Clock would also soon

stop.

One thing was sure, the Buccaneers had a history

of setting people ablaze.

I could remember when i was in school when

Buccaneers declared war against the

confraternity. So many members that were

caught were set ablaze.

Suddenly i saw Man whispering something to the

ring in his right thumb.

“Man you get sense abi? You wan disappear make

only me die for the fire abi?” I thought.

At that moment, a song came to my mind, the song

was; “Death around the corner” by Tupac Amaru

Shakur. I was gradually becoming a Tupac Shakur

fan, all thanks to Tupac.
