MY YARD


" I go kee you tohday walai, ifanor kee you ma name nor be Oj". 

The commotion outside my room cut short my sweet dreams where I was having Dinner at El' Crush with Femi Dollar( yes! the very famous and rich OTEDOLA) and he was about handing me a  cheque of N150,000,000.when the noise from the next room woke me up.
Screams I could recognize even in my dream was definitely coming from Henrietta cos she constantly gets dealt with as she would never tame her wild tongue.
I struggled with sleep  and finally forced myself out of bed as her screams got louder.I opened the door and peeped and thank God I had not come out full figured as I would have been a blind bat by now cos the green bottle I saw flying towards the bridge of my nose made me dash back into my room and all the sleepiness in me disappeared with the speed of lightening.

''May evribodi enta has o cos na kilin spree i dey dis aftunu,who do anyha  go see anyha" Oj kept shouting.

I quickly dodged under the bed in my room just in case he was also about to dole out a stray bullet cos I wasn't sure anymore what other arms he held asides the bottle or if he was just bragging(better safe than sorry).

Oj was a bus driver in Aswani park while Henrietta hawked herbal drink(called agbo in yoruba).
Henrietta a secondary school dropout had a tongue as sharp as a sword and was proud to the high heavens.Oj on the other hand was a driver in Aswani park and popularly called "gentle agbero" a.k.a  "ladies man" because of the gentle way he called passengers at the park.This title kind of turned him into the randy man he was gradually becoming.

I wondered who could have provoked Oj to the point where he was ready to spend the rest of his life in kirikiri. I quickly brought out my phone and scanned through the contacts as I once saved the DPO's number due to the constant fights in the vicinity. Still Henrietta would not keep calm as her voice was as loud as a trumpet and kept distracting me.

 "u nor fit do me natin" she barked, "Oj,u tink say na d one wey u do before wey i just ala am pass like dat? aaah dis time u don jam rock Oj,u dey ye me so? i say u don jaaaaaaaaaaam rock. aaahh na me wit u tohday Oj..... After u don shop my sweet ogbono finish u promise me marej.... Oya na me don ge belle u say u nor marey me again? aahhhhh na lie u lie Oj. Forget o! all dis ur denge pose anger na for shile market o, e nor move me kaka. Dat ashewo wey u put for inside room better come out na before I enter dia kon do u strong tin"

whaaaaaaaaaaat!!! so all these noise, threats and bottle fight was because they had a fling and she was dumb enough to believe it would end in marriage? I felt foolish for hiding under my bed and with a boiling anger I stomped out of my room and made to confront her and Oj for threatening the neighbors and disturbing the peace of the 'yard'.

ME: "Henrietta! Oj!" I screamed on top of my voice, "una two dey craze I swear." Pointing a finger at Henrietta, "so na bcos u shine congo for free come still collect prize make u dey shout since dey disturb awa sleep? ... shame still nor gree u enta house lock door,u stand dia dey make noise sotey u  nearly allow Oj scatter my face with that star bottle! Una two well so?" I asked in anger,remembering how they allowed me miss my 150,000,000 cheque in dreamland.

Henrietta: "ehn ehn o! make nobody call my name dia o, cos Oj don gimi belle and e must marey me.e do finish e go empaya go carry ashewo come......."
she had barely finished her statement when  Oj pounced on her.

Oj: "Na ur mama be ashewo,for your infomate,na my wife be dat birifu geh wey dey inside. so make u find who giyu belle go mechanic workshop wia u dey sell paraga or may u go Shile park.God punish ur mouth dia... see ehn, If i hia pim for dat ya mout again walai na blade ago take comot ya tong. Sweet sef, u nor kukuma sweet to f*ck, na em make me fine my wife go front"

I just looked on at both of them in pity cos they were birds of a feather and were a perfect match for each other if only they knew.

I made up my mind to move to lekki phase 1 after this unfortunate incidence, where I can sleep in peace and collect my cheque in dreamland.*winks*.
