TITLE: Thug Life EPISODE: 13 Flow... Flow... I called weakly as he zoomed off. He turned to look at me, his face registering pity. Attai, how you dey feel? He asked an annoying question. Trailer don ever jam you before? I asked his to which he shook his head. Na trailer go kill your useless head. Mumu wey no fit defend him friend I cursed. He was expecting so instead of getting angry, he broke into an annoying laughter. Na your papa go die like that, ijiot He replied. Your sister go born goat I said to him. Na your future wife go born pig He answered. I was just too weak to argue, I closed my eyes and rested. My big mouth had brought the whole thing on my head. Minutes later we were in front of our former site. The place had been painted. Attai, make we go see our room na Flow said. E be like you forget say na Alhaji house we go stay I said to him. I adjusted the chair and laid down, my body was really painful. Owk, e be like na only me go go check He said, opening the car and getting out. Work waited and I was gonna harness it. FLOW: At the gate we met Engineer, this time he was all smiles. here is the key to your room, your room is room 5 He handed over the key to our room to me. Big boys dont smile they say, i held myself from smiling back at Engineer because i knew i was a Big boy. Bigger than the formerly dreaded Engineer. Not only was our room well furnished, it was beautiful. Yes, beautiful for real. For me to have stayed in a room with licking roof, pot- holes, and cracked walls, then i know a beautiful room when i see one. For me to have also stayed in a room i shared with Rats, cockroaches, Ants, and sometimes Snakes, then i know a beautifull room when i see one. The last time i stayed in a tiled room for more than 24hours was in 2001 when i was locked up in a Police cell, the cell was tiled with what looked like Marble tiles, and i think that cell could be ranked as one of the most beautiful Police cells in Nigeria. Why i was locked up in the cell is none of your business. Attai we be big boys oh, see room wey we go dey stay I saw Attai limped in. shit up!! So na like so God take dey bless person, from prison see as we don turn Big boys Attai said. mehn see foam wey we go dey sleep, see as e high I landed on our huge bed.

Just then, someone knocked. who is that!! i was shocked. is your neighbour A voice answered. Attai go open the door!! I never wanted my face to be the first face our neighbour would see. you dey mad, you go open door jor Attai said. but who go come dey knock for our door for this night na I muttered. when you reach the door, you go know who dey knock Attai said. I opened the door to meet the Ugly face of Engineer. where is the neighbour that knocked? I asked, not knowing Engineer was the neighbour. i am the neighbour Engineer smiled. Are you our neighbour? Do you stay here? i needed to know. yes, this is my room He pointed at a room opposite ours. ehnnn! i came to ask if i could be of help to you? He asked. yes, you could be of help to me, my b.alls are itching, scratch it for me I said in my minds mouth. i hope the foodstuff i bought for you is complete, hope no food ingredient is missing? He was indirectly telling me he bought the foodstuff in the kitchen, of course i knew it was not with his money but with Alhajis money. yes, we are okay I answered. in the kitchen, there is Kerosene stove and Gas cooker, incase you want to cook said Engineer. i have seen them I said. if you need help, just knock on my door Engineer said. this one wey you dey talk say make we knock your door, hope say you no be G.ay oh I said in my minds mouth. we will do that if we need help, Thank you I replied and he left.

Few minutes later, the food was half way done when Attai asked; we no go use Fish or Meat chop the food? if meat and fish no dey, we for use boiled Egg chop am oh, e go make sense oh I was wondering who he wanted to go out and buy Eggs at such Unholy hour of the night, his grandfather i guessed. shebi one Egg still remain for your blockus?
