Men Dey Reason - S01 E156

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 156

Man fell “yakata” to the ground.

Yakata is not a Chinese Name, neither is it the

name of a Chinese meal, it is the word said in

Pidgin to refer to someone that falls flat to

the ground.

I laughed so hard that me too almost fell to

the ground.

He turned, and when i saw sand all over his

face, my laughter increased. He looked like

Lagbaja.

The ringing of my phone brought my laughter

to a stop. It was Nas calling.

He told me that second semester had started

and that i needed to go register the course i

was spilling over.

Before i finished recieving the call, i saw Man

walking towards the gate and rubbing off his

sandy face.

“Man where you dey go na?” I asked him.

“them say JAMB result don comot, make i go

check my own” He answered.

“you baf so?” I needed to ask.

“i no baf, that time wey i enter bathroom, you

know wetin i go do there?” Man said.

“wetin you go do there?” I was curious.

“i s’hit for toilet, pack the s’hit with my hand,

com rub am for my body, i baf with s’hit”

Man said smiling.

“oyibo people dey call am s’hit bath” He

laughed.

“i don answer you na? As you sabi ask

r’ubbish question, if i no baf e concern you?”

He queried.

I asked that not to make a jest of him, but to

confirm if what i had about him was true.

Baba Jay once told me that Man hardly took

his bath. That the day he took his bath once

a day could be regarded as his Birthday. He

told me that were it not because Man worked

as a Kponkponist, he would had been

following his former routine of taking his bath

once in two days.
