Can a man rob God!!? Na the last thing wen comot for pastor mouth before we hear person wen shout “Everybody lie down flat” and gun wen dem cock “KpraKpa!”

Nothing wen no dey happen for Ajegunle. Na why men fit get mind rob church on wash night day.

Brethren,
Na thread o!
Dem say na wen you don cross river finish you fit tell crocodile say him mouth dey smell.

Na why as the men dem wen carry gun wen no be childs dey rise like Ijebu garri from many corner of d church, all man don lie down flat wan even enter ground like seed wen dem wan plant
Pastor-Yemi-wen-dey-drink-big-stout no even wait make d men shout the lie down flat finish, baba don enter ground wan bury himself alive.

Haba! Pastor!

But I no blame am. Las las na so AJ be. When kasala burst, all man dey answer him papa name.

Even jaguda dey get Oga.
As the men dem dey waka round to make sure say anybody wen do anyhow go see anyhow, all of us dey do silent competition of who go lie down flat pass.

Even Papa Jamiu wen get kitchenbelle cos to call am pot no go describe am reach, lie down dey suck belle, wan come flat pass me
Him pikin papa!

Me sef suck my own inside sotay e flat pass Hausa mat. No be me dem go shoot because I no lie down flat reach.

Everybody been dey respect their self dey do as the men dem talk but Una know as e dey be. For every 12, one person must be Judas iscariot.
Deacon Etim stand up, wan form Jagaban. Dey speak many English as e dey always do for testimony time.

“This is wrong. This is preposterous and unjust. Have you no shame? How can you rob in the house of God. On the eve of Christmas, how?”

All man Look am like:
As e dey vibrate like nokia 3310, na him one of the thief, the one wen small pass inside all of them, near am, tell am say “Baba, kiss ground!”

Deacon Etim still no gree. E still dey yarn dust, dey talk plenty wen the small thief, sound am better slap.

Towai!!!!

Baba confuse
Na that day we know say forget all the big big English, if deacon Etim pidgin English na rice wen dem put for fire, no be today e done.

Baba halla “Abasi mbok oh!!! But e no rish to tear me this kind slap Na brethren. Na we we oh! Mbok! No be so! Ah! No be so!
Him eye come dey like the tap for our compound wen u no close am well; tears just dey flow drop by drop.

But baba still stand like who paralyze half paralyze, dey cry, wen d thief ring am another slap

Towaiwai!!!

The way baba use dive ground eh.
Micheal Phelps never reach
E no even make sense to try shout make people help us because that night, Kehinde street boys dey do their street Jamz and na DJ cure-my-craze dey play.

Anybody wen know, know say once na DJ CMC dey jam, even if Last trumpet blow, nobody go hear am.

Lai lai!
How e use get the name sef; Cure my crase.

Baba been set bet say him fit smoke 12 jumbo igbo from SunnyFeather.

SunnyFeather weed wen be say only small kiss you go kiss am, you wen don marry go reach house dey ask your wife “is like I know this your face from somewhere”
After e smoke like 5 jumbo, the red wire and green wire for him head come go touch, small spark comot him head, him engine come knock.

Na like after 6 months, one morning e just well. But e no too well complete.

Cos baba fit see you for night still dey shout good morning boss!
Kehinde boys choose DJ CMC Cos after e well, come barber him head half dada half gorimakpa, come start DJ, nobody sound mental reach him own.

And as be say Mosholashi Street boys choose that same 24th to do their own street jamz, dem wan make sure say Na their sound go loud pass
The thief dem no wan hear say bird born 5 pikin and wen dem come Dey count how many die, dem say Na 12.

So dem tell two of the choir people to dey sing praise and worship as dem dey go round dey obtain all men for the church make e be like say normal service still dey on.
Because I know as area dey be, I been no wan leave all my bar for house so I carry am come church.

Na why wen pastor dey shout say make we sow seed wen go provoke God to bless us, I hold my money tight

Him papa!

Why i me go wan provoke God? Ordinary man like me?

Waka!
Money wen I don plan to use pay for hotel wen me and babyrisky go dey 2moro, jolly our Christmas, as we dey use mekwe thunder fire ourselves. Na him dem say make I use provoke who?

But as the men dem fall in, I see say that my plan dey like who wan chop fish lap; impossicant
I no go lie you I see some things wen surprise me that day as I lie down for ground dey peep.

When the men dem near you, dem go tell you to empty your pocket.

Apart from the two die die hundred hundred Naira wen fall out, I see three packet of durex condom wen fall out too.

But omo eh! Be like as dem say lie down flat the woman move.
She no even reason her husband. I don know right from time say the woman na street. For her mind she go don talk say instead two go die make one person dey to wear black, organize burial.

After all if Ashewo marry thief born winsh. Who go dey dey house for night.
Na still that night I understand why sister Agnes dey always calm for church. Shout for her from now till next 12 years madam eye go just small as she calm.

As she empty bag Na so two full kpoli and one wen dem don kiss remain half fall out.

Ah!

All the talk she dey follow herself talk. No be speaking in tongues. She and the weed dey get as Oyibo Dey call am “tete a tete”
Even mama itoro. Wen dey always beg style style begging for church because she be widow, Wen dem untie her wrapper, the money wen fall out eh, reach almost 20k, fit even pass.

Kai! and she beg me money before service say her last card na 200.

Ah! Yahoo woman!
The men dem no rush o, even collect the 3 chicken iya Samuel and family been wan use for thanksgiving.

DJ CMC dey blast “Customer dada ni” for outside as bro Martins lead singer, dey try make e no cry 4 mic as dem dey collect him phone and even him belt say Na original leather
For the mic, e dey sing it is well in the name of Jesus, but anybody wen him spiritual ear dey hear well well no say Na lie.

“Smell am!” He screamed, pressing the cold metal on my nose.

“Wetin be dis?”

“Na gun” I said, as boiling point urine dropped on my boxers.

Guns are sexy in movies when with it, the actor kills 95 bad guys. Not as much in real life, pointed at you.

Brethren, I live my life I no like trouble.

Yet somehow, even in the most innocuous situations, these village Chinwetalu Agu et al manage to sneak wahala into everything.

I had enjoyed four blissful months with Pamela. A very adventurous young lady, fun and crazy to be with.
We met at the birthday Dinner of someone hanging somewhere on Progress’s family tree.

He said the celebrant was his Aunty’s brother’s friend’s cousin....

I zoned out after cousin like “Baba abi food go dey? Let’s go. Happy birthday to your grandSister.

Wetin concern me?”

What should have been an uneventful day at church, took a turn, when the pastor shouted, “Any occultic power here, I command you!Lose your hold!” and the girl beside me, my girl,fell,and started jerking violently.

Eh? What’s going on?!

#TalesbytweetLight
They say hindsight is 20/20. There are things that happen and give new meaning to seemingly insignificant occurrences in the past

Watching Bella or The9thprincess as was her name on SM, jerking on the floor, I wondered could it be? I Don carry winsh? Stevokingofthecoast?
I remember perfectly the day I met her and what had happened. My mum had called with a vision.

African mothers are like Martin Luther king; they always have a dream.

Dreams that are timed perfectly to coincide with when you’re about to do something not so bad like fornication

Lagos is a crazy place to live. It teaches you things whether you want to learn or not. You don’t even realize, till you see your reaction in certain situations

A town rife with different kinds of people and packaging, a town we “hate” but can’t leave

Brethren

Brethren with how long I’ve spent living in this town, till date, I cannot stop myself from reacting the way I do whenever a stranger stops me on the road like

“psst! Bros! Excuse me. Im looking for so and so street....”

Eh? You say
First of all, I adjust, take in the strangers face, examine it mentally in my ritualist-o-meter to see in what range they fall. if they score low and my milk of kindness is flowing that day I point them in the right direction, one hand stylishly on my you know you know you know

“...No wahala. Just Dey come” Progress said.

“I’ll be there tomorrow” I replied and ended the call.

But it was Progress. I should have known by now that somehow our combo would bring trouble.

And it did.

We got into trouble with a juju man.

Brethren
Issa thread
I had always argued about juju and all these changing into animal something.

Growing up, there was a superstition that a particular black cat always meowing on the roof at night, was baba white from the next compound.

And I had my reservations
Why always cat, dog, snake or as I once saw in a movie, after wailing, swaying from left to right, shivering and making funny faces in a bid to conjure up his animal power, a baba changed to tortoise.

All that effort for that? Why not lion or tiger forgossakes

You know what’s beautiful about the first time you fall in love? The complete innocence of it all. The rush of emotions, the happiness, the seeing their face in your eba when you eat.

The first time is always wonderful, and this is a story about mine.

Brethren,
Issa thread
As if being in love wasn’t enough, the object of my affection was named “Ifunanya” kee me

Till date, as is the case with love, i can’t explain exactly what about her roped me in.

I can remember how whenever the bell for break rang, immense joy filled me Cos oh here she comes
Everything felt special with her. A hug wasn’t a hug, it came with electricity that zapped my entire being with excitement, leaving me with warmth.

A smile wasn’t a smile. Babe had my full Mumu remote containing several buttons with which did inexplicable things to me

It could be filled with penises that would have birthed world changers, inventors, etc who would now never see the light of day

I answered Him pointing out where he should go. He thanked me and i was then faced with an arduous task.
How do I in a public,rowdy place like Ikeja carry out like the Rotracts have, the 4 way test to ensure intactness of my Something. How do i confirm the following without looking like a pervert- Is it still there? Has it shrunk? Are the balls still complete?
And the hardest of them all, like the biblical Dry bones can it rise again?. I managed to carry out three of the 4 way test, while my eyes were following the movement of the suspect religiously. Peradventure, like the Israelite in the bible, i had to pursue and recover all.
