After Dog pursue me yesterday wey I go sell puff puff for one compound, as I come house I tell my wife, she com console me say na like that life dey be atimes. Say no be every time life go sweet for person no matter how close the person dey to God.
This morning as I wake up, I don make up my mind say I no Dey go sell any puff puff today.

She come tell me say, everything wey happen yesterday don follow yesterday go and today na another day. She come remind me of one of our daily prayer points wey be “May all the bad things that happened to us yesterday never happen to us today”.
She say today own market go better pass yesterday own. Say make I no give up. My wife know my weak point sha. Too much good motivations from her Dey always move me.

As I reach, she say make I use that one for today. Say if we sell, we go Dey save small small to buy another rubber. I look my wife, I hug her. I tell God say make God bless am for giving me this kind of wife.
As I pour the puff puff inside the rubber, me and my wife pray ontop the puff puff make God bring better market come.
Na so I do my oshuka put for my head, my wife help me carry the puff puff put for my head. She come tell me say “You go sell” I say amen o. Na so I comot for house.
As I reach road. Traffic Dey early this morning. As I Dey waka with my puff puff for head. I hear some children Dey shout “Puff Puff, Puff puff”, I turn towards the direction wey dem Dey shout puff puff. Na some students wey Dey inside school bus dey call me for the other lane.
I look left and right. I cross go the school bus side. One woman wey dey inside the school bus come ask me “How do you sell your puff puff”? I tell her “ten ten naira”. She say how much is everything? I say “ehn”?
Then she said “I mean how much be the whole puff puff? I say everything na five thousand. She say I will give you eight thousand naira for the puff puff and the plastic rubber. I like the color of the plastic rubber, you can buy another one.
Like play like play, she bring out her purse, she count 8k give me for hand. I count the money three times, then I carry the rubber of puff puff give her.
As I give her, the traffic begin Dey move, na so dem drive go.
As I Dey look dem Dey go, big big cry started worrying me. Cry of joy started coming down from my face because I no expect God to do this kind of miracle for me early this morning.
As I Dey waka dey go house with joy for my face, I come see that stewpid man wey him dog pursue me yesterday dey jug Dey come for my front.
I put the 8k inside the purse wey I hang around my waist. I zip am. As the man Dey jug come, I stand for him front.
Him say “are you okay young man” I tell am say na your mama for house no Dey okay. Him come slap me with “Is something wrong with you? Are you normal? How dare you insult my mother? Do you know who I am?
As him Dey vibrate people don dey gather for road o. After him rant finish, him come dey go. Na so I turn, I pack him two legs from ground, I raise am up, na so I roll am for air, I hit am for ground. As I hit am for ground na so everybody begin shout haaaaaay. Some people Dey even laugh self.

People ask me say how much I loose yesterday, I tell dem say na 8k. My puff na 5k and the rubber na 3k.
Dem come tell the man say make him Kukuma give me my money to avoid embarrassment.
As people don too gather and some people don dey use their phone dey camera me and the man, the man just draw him face cap cover him face well well. Him come bring him wallet out.
Him count 5k give me, him say the remaining 3k, him go use am treat him face and him come warn me say any time I see am for road make I avoid am. Na so him jug comot.
I dust my self, I begin look for the second leg of my slippers. I see am for inside bush. I wear am. I come comot.
As I enter my street, e get one woman wey Dey sell plastic rubbers for my street. I use the 5k wey that man give me buy two rubbers. I need to replace the drinking water rubber and I need to buy another rubber for my puff puff business.
I branch one shop wey dem Dey sell frozen food. I buy chicken 1 kilo. I branch the Aboki wey Dey my street, I buy 1 hollandia yoghurt. Na so I come house.
When I enter inside house, my wife dey surprise. I come narrate every thing wey happens to her but I no tell her say I fight o. Na only the school bus miracle I tell her. If I tell my wife say I go fight for street, she go vex for me.
Even though my wife knows everything about me, one thing wey she no know about me and I no want make she ever know about me be say “I no get shame, I am a very shameless human being”
I give her the chicken make she use am cook better Egusi soup and Oje Abacha (Tuwo) in the afternoon. A typical Igala man doesn’t joke with oje abacha.
I tell her say make she bring two cups come, I pour the hollandia yoghurt full the two cups. I start to Dey play zikiri music from my phone because we no get light, we come dey dance Dey drink our hollandia yoghurt small small.
After we drink am finish, I come go baff, I tie only towel I come go lie down ontop bed. I tell my wife say make she come ontop bed make I show her something.
She say she no Dey come. She say e too early for me to show her something ontop bed.
Like I don’t understand, as a married man, are you not entitled to show your wife something on top of bed anytime you want?
