This evening, after going through the list my babe wrote and the amount she fixed on each item, I decided go to the market myself
"This overpricing of things must stop," I said to myself, "Ordinary f0wl egg #80 naira? Since when? Na dragon lay the egg?"
"I have finished dressing up. I want to start going to the market now," Peace said to me, "Give me the money"
Ojay: Don't worry, I will go to the market myself
Peace: (surprised) I don't understand
Ojay: One of my good friend lives near the market, so I want to use that opportunity and see him
Peace: Buh seeing your friend won't still stop me from going to the market. You can go and be seeing your friend while I buy things
Ojay: I want to buy things myself today. I want to help me today. Can't you see that the sun is three much and I don't like you going out under the sun
Peace: It's OK...
"No apriko money for you today," I m0çked Peace, silently, as she left
I wore my shirt and left for the market
First, I went to the egg seller and she said it's #100 naira
Ojay: But it's #80 naira my babe wrote on the list
Egg seller: Maybe she wanted to put her own #20 naira. She must be an understanding galfriend
Not satisfied, I went to three more egg shops and the price was the same. So, I bought it
Next, I went to granulated sugar shop and they said a cup of sugar was #400 naira
Ojay: But my babe wrote #350 naira on the list
Sugar seller: It just added money this morning. Maybe tomorrow now, it will add another #100 naira. Things are just adding money everyday.
Again, not satisfied, I went to two more shops and the price was the same. So I bought it too..
I went to the shop of the lady selling garri. She be fine gal, sha
Ojay: (I decided to be a little playful) Fine gal, I want to buy a painter of garri
Garri seller: #1500, sir
Ojay: Common garri kwa?
Garri seller: Sir, nothing's common in Nigeria again oo..
Ojay: Not garri we know. Garri will always be common..
Garri seller: Oya bring #1400. Ma
