Men Dey Reason - S01 E126

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 126

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.

As Man continued whispering incantations to the

ring, i thought the best thing to do was to grab

him firmly so we would vanish together.

I quickly grabbed him from behind, and he said,

“Flow why you dey hold me na”.

“you get sense, you wan disappear make only me

die for fire abi?” I cried.

“two people no go fit disappear, na only one

person” Man said.

“so you want make only me die abi? Guy na me and

you go die here oh, i no go gree oh” I said, holding

him so tight that he couldn’t breathe properly.

Suddenly i heard, “Nkiru stay for shop, make i go

burn the dirty”, i instantly recognised that that

was Haruna’s voice.

“i don see our pekin shirt and shoe wey we dey

find” that was Nkiru’s voice.

It instantly dawned on me that the shirt and shoe

was what they were initially looking for that

Nkiru said she was sure it was inside the shop.

And the Kerosene was to burn dirts and not to set

the Barber’s shop ablaze.

So they were not Buccaneers.

I found my lost breath, and my lost heart also.

But it seemed Man was deaf, as he continued his

incantations.

Or is it that a person saying incantations is surely

deaf? I asked myself, as Man added dancing to his

incantations. A Hausa dance i think.

I thought the best thing to do was to bring him

back to the Physical realm somehow. So i tapped

him on his head.

It worked, he was brought back to the Physical

realm.

“Flow you wan turn to rat?” was the first

question he asked me.

“no” i answered.

“if you no wan turn to rat, make you no ever slap

person wey dey talk to him Talley for him head”

Man warned.

If you grew up in the ghettos of Nigeria, you

should know that “Talley” is a charm given to

someone for protection and to fight. It is mostly

in form of a ring.

The first day i saw that a Talley could work

wonders was when i was in my early teenage in

the barracks.
