Mazi Mazi Mazi, you no know say you no suppose dey make call for army check point? It is against the law

I know but nna enh I couldn’t miss that call; my goods were arriving and I had to tell them which warehouse to put it. Soldier nearly flog me today o

So wetin come happen for the check point?

I begged now… na beg I take commot for that place. I knee down for that check point dey beg

Ha ha, na frog jump you for do this morning. Everytime I pass that check point people dey there dey do frog jump

Honestly, na God save person. From now on before I answer phone call I go first check if any check point dey the area but I get one question ehn. Wetin concern my innocent phone call with army wey dey do en work for check point; my call no mean say dem no fit do their work

Mazi, it is for security reasons. As you dey your phone call dem no know who you dey call or whether you wan use your phone on bomb for them

Dem dey use phone on bomb?

Yes now, phone dey do all types of things o… na why dem dey call am smart phone because e smart like human being

Mmh hmmm. This life. You hear wetin Oyo state governor talk?

Wetin he talk?

He talk say dem inherit an almost bankrupt state, say money no dey Oyo state at all at all

No money for am to chop, you know wetin I don discover? I don discover say na only when one politician no see money to chop na em he go come dey do anti-corruption fight

Na true you talk my brother. As money no dey Oyo state again, he come dey go up and down dey sing anti-corruption for person ear. If to say money dey na den en true colour go show

Yes, you no fit sing anti-corruption if you never resist true temptation to steal money. If he wan steal money now; which money en go steal? No temptation

Exactly!

Which one come be ISWAP?

No be The Islamic State of West African Province? I read say dem kill two soldiers and one policeman

Nawa, we never finish with Boko haram another one done join. Which time this one start now?

I know? Like I don dey talk before; the day government ready to do away with all the terrorist groups dem go do am, as for now na dem still dey condone am

How you go talk that one, so are you saying that all the soldiers that have died because of Boko haram died for nothing?

No be wetin I dey talk be that but Ahn ahn, are they saying that a whole government cannot disarm a terrorist group?

I understand wetin you dey talk but you know say these terrorism get more to the story than the thing wey dem dey tell us

Now you are talking, now you are talking. Just like this Sowore issue wey get more than what their telling us

You see say dem ask Sowore to sign death warrant deal

Gini bu death warrant deal?

Aaah, it is exactly what you think it is. They want him to sign his life to them

Ta, that he should use his own hand and eyes to sign away his life to them when he did not commit any crime?

That is what it is looking like

No no, I hope he did not sign it

He didn’t and that is why he is still in detention. I wonder how this whole thing will end

We are watching the film.

Na real film o
