EPISODE TWENTY-NINE

The time I spent with my family, really shows the intrinsical power of wealth…

My mum prepared a very delicious vegetable soup with assorted meat, which we ate together.
We played so many games, and enjoyed some sweet stories that were told by my mother.
I never wanted to go back home, as I kept on enjoying my stay with my siblings and sweet mum.
My mum was about telling us a story about slavery, when my phone started ringing.
I brought it out and realised it was a call from Great-kali;
ME: Hello!
(walking towards the exit door, after excusing myself from their midst)
GREAT-KALI: Brother where are you?
ME: I’m still in my family’s house
GREAT-KALI: You have to show up now, we are at the grave yard with your uncle
ME: kai…. Which grave yard, you guys should go to any uncompleted building or forest to wait for me
GREAT-KALI: Okay!!!
ME: Wait oo Great-kali ! How can you do such a thing? Graveyard!!!
GREAT-KALI: Nor vex
ME: Please hurry up to somewhere better, and send me the address immediately
**call ended**

I went back to my family, and started listening to my mum’s story.
I haven’t even spent 5mins after the call I had with Great-kali, when a message beep my phone;

” Meet us up at the uncompleted building behind standard secondary school, we are waiting for you… ”

l stood up and told my mum that, the client who gave me the contract of 1billion naira just sent me a text, which i must respond to.
My mum didn’t complain about me leaving, even though she enjoyed my company and will miss my presence;
MUM: My son, when are we expecting you again?
ME: Mummy, you know we are all in Lagos now, so seeing each other won’t be a problem
MUM: I would have love you to pass the night here today, something inside me is fighting intemperately against you leaving
ME: Funny, I’m not a baby Mum. If I don’t respond to their call now, they won’t give me more contract
MUM: Okay my son, but please take care
ME: I will Mum. Lucky and Joy make sure you don’t move around any how, and always take care of mama
LUCKY: Brother, we will always keep mama busy. So don’t worry
ME: Okay, bye bye
( I gave Joy and my Mum peck on their chick, and hug Lucky before I left)

I went home, changed my clothes and fare straight to the address, where I meet the brave ‘Lion Squad’ all on black apparel.
My wicked uncle who was blindfolded, was laying helplessly on the ground. I turned him over and jiggled my head, as I watched him breathing so fast, and also quivering.
I removed the piece of sateen that was used to blindfold him, which makes him had an opportunity to whipped his face with his hands severally, before he could have a clearer vision of me, who was standing in front of him;
UNCLE JUDE: Eh Oluwa!!! Eli !!!
ME: Why the surprise
UNCLE JUDE: No wonder! So you are into crime?
ME: You have the guts to question me? Okay, Yes i’m into crime. Any other question?
(He kept on staring at my crew, whose faces possess no Joy)
UNCLE JUDE: Please let me go I beg of you, remember I’m your Uncle
ME: You are free to go
(He stood up and was about walking out of me, when Parcy used his gun to hit him twice)
PARCY: Mr. Man you nor dey fear face abi? I go use blender blend your brain just now, before you go wise. You think say na konkonli play we come here come do?
UNCLE JUDE: Sorry my brother
PARCY: Sorry for your head
GREAT-KALI: Old man, whether you like it or not, you won’t live to see tomorrow, so you better cooperate
UNCLE JUDE: Eh! Eli my son talk to them na?
ME: Talk to who?
UNCLE JUDE: Your friends ooo
ME: So you now need my help? Aren’t you the General overseer again? Can’t you talk to them yourself?
UNCLE JUDE: **crying** I don’t want to die oooo, please help your Uncle
ME: You won’t die if only you tell me why you hated my family, and the secret behind my Father’s death
UNCLE JUDE: I’ll tell you, but don’t let them kill me
ME: They will only do that if you lie
UNCLE JUDE: Okay… I love your father as a brother not until my mother made me realised that, he will be wealthy since he went to school and I will remain poor for not going to school. I had a rethink and planned to kill him, so I can convert all his wealth to mine
ME: But my Father did everything a brother has to to for you. He gave you a good business and even home
UNCLE JUDE: Yes he did, but my mother wasn’t Happy with him. Before she died she instructed me to kill my step brother, so she can rest well. I kept on seeing her spirit reminding me of my uncompleted mission. That was why I poisoned your father when he came to my house to give me some document of his property to hold for him, since he wanted to travel out that week
ME: I knew you killed my Father all this years, but couldn’t stand you then. How can I get back the documents?
UNCLE JUDE: They are in my bag here. I wanted to sell them out to someone today, that was why I carried them in my bag
ME: Who is the person that wanted to buy them?
UNCLE JUDE: The manager of ‘Brighter Days Company’, he was the one I went to the shopping mall to meet when I saw you and your family
ME: Have you collected anything from him?
UNCLE JUDE: No, he asked me to bring the papers first, that was why I went back to my officer, only to find these guys waiting for me in my car
ME: Good story. Well I would have love to spare your life, but if I do so my father’s spirit won’t be happy with me… I will advise you to talk to the spirit of your wicked mother to come save you now, because you are going down
UNCLE JUDE: Please Eli, I have some money in the bag too, you can have them, even the ATM to my 3 accounts are in the bag, you can go and withdrew from them
ME: What is the pin
UNCLE JUDE: 2611
ME: Thanks…. But…..

EPISODE TWENTY-SEVEN

I had no friend in the village, so I have to give the king the contract of diminishing the mud house, and construct a better structure for my mum.
He agreed, since he claimed to have good engineers who can do the job.
N5Million was given to him by me for a start, since my budget for the structure is N10Million because the land wasn’t that big.

12NOON

We left my village exactly 12:00pm and arrived Lagos around 4:32pm.
We drove down to the G.R.A where the building I bought for my mum was.
My siblings were happy to live in such mansion but my mum was weak, she stood outside for some minutes before I realised, and rushed back to take her in.
We all went in and checked out the 5 bedrooms, in the duplex. They all selected their rooms, with extra two rooms remaining.
Joy forcefully gave me one which I knew i won’t even sleep unless I come visiting and choose to pass the night. She assumed the last one to be for guest.
I gave my mum N10million and my younger ones N500,000 each, after unveiling to her that the Rang Rover Jeep at the garage belongs to her.
I dropped the key on her palms and stylishly faced the exit door ;
JOY: Thanks very much brother Eli
ME: Don’t mention, I’m only fulfilling my promise
MUM: My son you surprised me
ME: Mama please don’t be surprised, you deserved more than all this, because you have passed through alot for our sake
(Tears of joy was dripping off my mums eyes, and I helped her to whip it with my handkerchief)
JOY: How will I do the WAEC GCE form I bought in the village?
ME: Forget about that one and buy a new one here in Lagos
JOY: I don’t think they are still selling it
ME: So what do you want me to do
LUCKY: Bros Eli don’t worry, when the time of the exam comes, I will follow her back home so she can write it there
ME: I disagree, the both of you can’t leave mama alone in this house. Joy can go there alone, she is a big girl now
JOY: Brother tell am oo, he always block my ways, and monitor my movements including the friends I make
ME: Shut up there! Don’t you know he is helping you? Don’t you wanna be a doctor again? Do you want to start following boys up and down
LUCKY: That is exactly what she want oo, and I won’t give her that opportunity
ME: You guys should come and carry your things. I will come around tomorrow to take you all out for shopping
JOY: I haven’t gone out for shopping before, hope we will be going to SHOPRITE MALL?
ME: Anywhere you want, you are the baby in the house. My friends are waiting, so I have to start going

They followed me down to where the car was parked, took their things, before I left with my real guys.

Great-kali who put Sharon on call, told us she is in our new home waiting for us.

— — —

We got to the house, parked the cars and went inside.
Sharon was busy dancing in the main sitting room, as she increased the volume of the set;
SHARON: My guys are back! Wow! Come and rock with me!
GREAT-KALI: You are liking yourself oo
SHARON: I dey tell you, you dey feel am?
(Parcy who the music got into his brain like an evil spirit rushed to Sharon and hold her waist, as they both danced to ‘Mansa’ a Ghanaian song sang by Bisa Kdei)

I just walked to one of the rooms in the house to rest my nerves, for a stressful 4hrs 30mins drive…
I finally dozed off, under the noisy condition of the song that was playing…
