Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 127

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.

Two adults were fighting one evening, i saw one

of them spoke something to a ring he wore, after

he had spoke the words, he let out a punch to the

nose of his opponent. The next thing i saw, his

opponent started uprooting grasses and eating

them.

The crowd that were watching the fight

stampeded trampling on each other. My right

ankle was dislocated that evening.

I was told the guy that was eating grasses was

left to his fate until about 5minutes when his

eyes were clear and he ran for his dear life.

“i say make i tell you say no be those Buccaneer,

na Haruna and him wife, nahim make i slap you for

head” I said to Man.

“I know na, i just dey tell my Talley say i no wan

disappear again, nahim make me dey dance” Man

said.

“ok, make we comot for here na” I beckoned.

“you know say Oyibo people dey say Ladies First,

so you go dey for front, i go follow you for back”

Man said trash.

“who be Lady?” I asked. “na you na” Man

answered. “na your Papa be Lady” I cursed.

“you better enter front, no be you hold Talley?” I

said.

We practically crawled out of the Barber’s shop,

and the first face we saw was Nkiru’s u.gly face.

A bad omen that meant we would have an u.gly

day.

As we entered the compound, we saw so many

guys, each with a cutlass, not to cut off our

heads, but to clear the grasses in the compound.

And they were not Buccaneer members but our

beloved friends.

“Flow wetin una do Kate wey make her call her

brother for una?” Bigie asked, as we sat close to

where they were cutting.

“nothing oh, we no do anything oh” Man

answered. “see your mouth like nothing oh, una

no do anything nahim them dey find una?” Tupac

said.

“ehnnn!! if una die, i no sabi cry oh, i go just

wear black cloth come chop Rice for una burial oh”

Brainbox said.

“na you go die” Man cursed.

“Tupac you hold that your phone here?” Man

suddenly asked. “yes i hold am here, e dey for my

pocket” Tupac answered.

“bring am” Man said.
