What manner of sarcasm???
I a wedding recently and observed that a group of elderly women had taken over the seats meant for the bridal train. I was wondering what it is with old women desiring to sit behind the bride(for what now?). I had seen this same thing play out in particular churches and have always wondered why even the ushers are unable to tell them to sit at their assigned seats.
Then I walked up to a women fellowship member I thought would be helpful. After exchanging pleasantries in Hausa, I asked if she could speak to an usher to arrange for the women to move because it was not the fault of the bridesmaids,they had to be picked from wherever they were accommodated( pls note that the bride came from a different state). The woman looked at me and said "Ki bi nan ki je baya ki gaya ma pastor". What? Pastor was on the altar speaking o. I looked at her,smiled and said " I am not a member of your church, I just wanted to correct something. But I tell you,that's not nice. She immediately began to apologise ,and I said "no problem".
Eventually the bridesmaids got to sit one row behind these old women who had taken their place and were even part of the women fellowship choir.
While I was reflecting on the response I got,I said "wow,,I don really change o. She for collect full dose of my kind of sarcasm that she'll not forget in a hurry. Maybe because it was in church the Holy spirit stopped me from giving the right reply. 🤣🤣🤣
But çome o,who will tell these women that the camera needs to capture the beautiful and gorgeous bridal train behind the bride? And for those of you who talk anyhow? Watch it,because where your own ends is the starting point for another person. If I had said what I had in mind which made me smile,wallahi she would have left the church🤣🤣. We call it Sarca...we no learn am. If you know ,you know.
