6.15am on any other Friday I’d be in the office uploading my article against Monday’s release (I hate the African time mentality), not this Friday though. Not only was I in Eti-osa Lga, I was in Ojo. I’d been admitted for a combination of Malaria and typhoid Fever.
Waking me up was the key-less starter system from the Infinity FX 45. Looking outside my window, there was also an Isuzu Axiom and a pumped up F150. hmmmmm, someone important must’ve been brought in while I was asleep.
The gentleman responsible for this crowd had been shot a few minutes earlier. He boarded a new style “1 chance” vehicle. The robbers got in as normal passengers and once on the way, they ordered everyone to empty their pockets. What’s different about this “1chance”, the driver and conductor were robbed as well. Unfortunately for Mr X (the guy who got shot), he didn’t have any money on him so he was shot in the face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In between my falling asleep, I counted at least 50 visitors who came in to see Mr X but the one that caught my attention was a chap who came in at 6.17pm( 17mins past visiting hours). No lucozade in hand!!! And even after haven been told Mr X needed rest cuz he’s face will continue oozing blood so long as he kept talking to people.
The said visitor I shall call Mr W, then said “Ok let me just see him eye to eye”. That triggered something in the nursing staff that just brought up the big N.O.
After he left the Doc. Came into my room to apologize for waking me up (W’s persistence got a little loud). He then said there was a spiritual undertone to W’s request, hence his refusal.
That took my mind back to a popular saying while we were kids growing up “Oyinbo dey use their winsh do better thing, black man n to dey destroy”…. Less than 12 hours before that incident I saw the white wizardry put to test in starting a car remotely. Right before my eyes was a potential Black Magic trying to remotely switch off the lights in MR X!!!!!
