Life in the Compound 24 – Episode 13: “The New Tenant” 💼😂
It was a bright Monday morning when a flashy black car drove into the compound. Out stepped a young man in designer clothes, dark shades, and shiny shoes. He smiled and said, “Good morning, my people. I’m the new tenant—Mr. Kelvin.”
The ladies in the compound almost fainted. Mama Peace whispered, “See fine man! Na real rich guy be this.”
Auntie Joy added, “This one go bring class to our compound o!”
Within two days, Kelvin turned his room into a nightclub. Loud music, steady generator, and perfume smell stronger than pepper soup filled the air.
Baba Landlord smiled proudly. “At least this one go pay rent on time.”
But trouble came one evening when police sirens stopped outside the gate. Peeeee! Peeee!
Three officers jumped out shouting, “Where is Mr. Kelvin the big boy?”
Tenants screamed and ran out. Kelvin tried to escape through the back door, but Mama Uche caught him by the shirt. “So you be yahoo boy all this while?”
The police dragged him away as he shouted, “It’s not what you think!”
Mama Peace folded her arms and hissed, “Next time, make we dey look well before we hail person.”
Baba Landlord sighed, staring at the empty room. “Hmm… rich tenant don turn police movie.”
The whole compound burst into laughter.
