Na wa for you o. no be you no wan commot your house because of coronavirus? And even as government don talk say we fit commot house; you still no wan commot your house and vaccine trial mean say very soon coronavirus medicine go fall out and you go fit commot your house

“Father?… Father?” she called quietly “I am here my child… go on” his voice was full of comfort “she was a very good friend to me but she did something unforgivable” the silence came back and Biola called him again “is this a habit?” the Reverend asked “what father?” “The habit of revenge… do you find that the virtue of forgiveness eludes you?”

How could Tony eat? When he knew now, how dangerous Mr. Henry truly was; he was paralyzed by fear, more paralyzed than his injured arm; he wondered what he was going to do next and going home was definitely not an option.

No mind dem, you know how children and their mama be. Even me sef shock as I see say my pikin buy me something for father’s day; normally dem no dey even remember say something like father’s day even day sef.

I was home alone, so there was no one at home to drag me out of bed and shake me out of my birthday blues. My parents, in their desperation to make me happy again; left the house for me the previous night “throw a party with your friends… invite anybody you want to invite. And if you need anything, we are one call away” my mother announced as my father handed me a ward of cash.

You know wetin dey pain me pass? The fact say we get people wey get brain and plenty talent for this country and yet our government and some useless citizen dey destroy the effort of good people… dey give us international disgrace

In fact, as dem talk that review enh… me I come think say na to reduce the price; na em make me dey hail minister of power that time now because I think say dem wan do us good

“Is that why you now call yourself Biola Killa? Because you believe that you have turned into a psychopath?” Biola looked at Sis. Aloysius with surprise “am I a psychopath?” Sis. Aloysius didn’t believe that Biola was a psychopath but something about her sweet girl wasn’t right anymore “No… no Biola Kila… you are not a psychopath”

“E be like say you be wan do superman” Olinlin tried to make a joke but Tony didn’t laugh; not because it wasn’t funny but because he didn’t get the joke. They finally arrived at the hospital and luckily for Tony, he didn’t need surgery; all he needed was a lot of stiches, bandages and a cast for his broken arm.

Church on this particular Sunday was funny because… not the service itself but after the service; the part where you greet people and socialize before going home was very funny because now that I think about it, it felt like an intervention on its own. A mini intervention.

Yes now, as government don kukuma open everything for the economy; I don dey go shop everyday o. but I no dey go today

As you talk say inspector general of police no die, I think say the next thing go be say en don catch corona virus because I see news before I sleep last night say 22 doctors and 60 other health workers don catch corona virus for rivers state.

Na em show corona the road to abia state now. I hope say e no go turn into something else for am o; make e just receive treatment and heal fast fast

As Tony walked back into the room, Mr. Henry was already sitting up; he looked at Tony intently, watching him as he took steps closer to the chair beside the bed. “Please sit” “I was already going to sit” Tony was now using his new found power and he couldn’t help but to be rude to the man.

True to his suspicion, the meeting was indeed about Biola. Dome Alkali knew that there were many men after Biola but he never knew that one of those men was the chairman and even though Biola rejected him; they ended up becoming good friends because he believed she was very smart especially when she gave him some business advice that worked perfectly.

The next day, I decided that instead of inviting Lota to come out with me, I was going to invite myself to her house and see what she says; I did and she told me to come over. That dispelled my suspicion until thirty minutes to the time I told her I was coming over “please accept my apology… I just realized that I promised to help my boss with something” she explained over the phone.

Nna enh, the thing wey I hear na say dem don discharge up to one hundred and one people; no be say e now be coronavirus free o

I know now, no be me and you discuss am that day. But wait first na kirikiri prison dem put orji uzor kalu? Na wa o I no know o

Nna enh, I hear the news this morning o, so sad. And you know the funny thing me and my wife been dey hear em music last night o. majek fashek, what a great musician

“It is the picture of the woman who has a son for you… now tell me, does your wife know about her?” “I don’t see how the police will be interested in my marital affairs” Mr. Henry countered. Tony brought out another printed picture from his briefcase and this time the woman in the second picture brought panic to Mr. Henry’s face.

“What are you doing here?!” he retorted, Biola ignored his unpleased countenance and tried to hug and kiss him but he pushed her away and told her off, warning her to stay away from his house if she didn’t want his trouble then ordered the security guard to usher her out of his compound.
