Please ” please ” please i beg
you ”
This statement did not cease
from my mouth as i kept
receiving slaps and kicks from
ladies and guys in the
compound, the pot of hot
white beans still balanced on
my head..
It was not untill someone
came and told them to collect
the pot from me as it may fall
as the beating get serious and
that was the only food himself
and 3 other neighbours dey
share…
Hardly had he removed the
pot, when another rain of slaps
descended on me…. Two guys
held my hand firmly as if their
existence depended on it so
there was no way i could run or
even attempt to.. Before i
could say johnbull, i was
already on the floor.
All my cries of please. Hear me
out fell on deaf ears as the
punches and slaps
continured… I could
remember how Mummy
chiomobi behaved vividly..
The quiet Mother of two is a
primary school teacher in one
of the government schools
around… That day, i saw her
unleashed the Undertaker and
Lieukeng in her….
On sighting her, i was grateful
to God that someone i knew
was finally going to beg on my
behalf .. I was shocked when
she took a mop stick and
started banging it on my head
seriously…
The last thing i remembered
was one of the guys going
inside and coming back with a
Pestle….
My name is boo osin and i was
not always a thief that steals
pots with food on fire…
Everything has a beginning
