Each day, it's either you will hear good or bad stories or you will see good and better things.
Today, what I heard left me with nothing else rather than laughter. Why? it's because, I couldn't believe my ears and my eyes. Chai, many attimes, after watching Nollywood films, we do think it's just for fun and not reality. But, what I heard today led me into believing that most things we do see happening inside Nollywood movies are nothing but reality.
Now, let me tell you the story!
In the afternoon today, I visited my farm which is located 5 miles away from my home. Around 4:30 pm, the village town-crier started going round the village in order to pass a special message to all the widows in their land. Below is the content of the message:
All widows in this land (both aliens and citizens) should listen and listen very carefully. All widows are invited by government on Wednesday (in the next 3 days) by 10 am to receive a mouthwatering gift at our village council hall. All widows are invited
Immediately after the town-crier dropped the message, there was these 2 ladies or women sitting in a shop nearby my farm. So, a powerful discussion and argument started in-between the 2 women. Below is their discussion and argument:
Since I don't know their names, am going to differentiate them with 1st lady and 2nd lady. Let's goooo.......
1st lady: Thank God for the message
2nd lady: Hmm, you're just thanking God as if you're going to benefit anything from it.
1st lady: Why not?
2nd lady: How do you mean?
1st lady: Nne, look at me, do I look like someone that have a husband?
2nd lady: Hia, Is your husband not Mr Uche that I know?
1st lady; Hia, that one is as good as dead man
2nd lady: Nne, I don't understand
1st lady: Just take a look at both your skin and body. Now let's compare and contrast. Is there any sign in me that a man is caring for me?
2nd lady: At least, he's still alive. Eheh, our people says that life dog is better than dead lion.
1st lady: My sister, you won't understand. Just mind your business
2nd lady: But, Nne, wait oo, even if he doesn't have enough to care for you, at least, he do touch you at night naa
1st lady: For where! Don't even go there my sister because he's nothing but dead vegetable when it comes to bed
2nd lady: Tufiakwa, hia, God forbid. It's not my Portion
1st lady: So abi, it's my portion naa?
2nd lady: It's your husband naa and you're still leaving with him. So it remains your portion.
1st lady: Anyway, I won't blame you. It's all my fault shaa
2nd lady: But, wait o, what if you go and people around recognized you. What will you do?
1st lady: I will tell them that although he's alive, he's already a dead man since he can't provide both for my physical, spiritual and emotional needs. All he knows is for me to cook with my hard earn money for him to eat.
2nd lady: Nne, you're serious o. Hia, anyway, let's talk another thing abeg.
Kai, my people, honestly, most women are passing through fire in their matrimonial homes.
Ahh, please to save yourself from insult, take in this admonition from me.
