Fast forward, I board a taxi and I hopped in and we drove.

In the cab, the driver was trying to engage me in some political gist as I focused at the front, remembering the awkward moment in the mall, thinking how I've been a fool all this while, not knowing Ene has been cheating on me.

Remembering the good times we've spent together. How she does sing "John Legend's Song All of me" to me in a melodious voice. Ene you will not know peace. That boy will not enjoy you (sobbing)

The cabman kept pestering me with the gist.

Cab Man: Oga wetin you see about this presidential election wey dey front, who you dey vote for?

Me: (Sighed) anybody.

Cab Man: you no fit say anybody Nah, you suppose get who you dey vote for. Me I want make Buhari win oh.  I don tire with the way people dey die die up and down for this Naija. Everything just get as e be. Abi you like the way people dey die ni? Eeh Oga?

"Seems this man wants to be unfortunate, why's he engaging me with is nonsense gist. Alaye take me home", I meditated.

Cab Man: Oga you no answer me (grinned).

Me: Oga are you mad? Se oloriburuku ni e ni (are you an unfortunate person?) Take me home or I drag this starring with you and we both die together
(ranted).

Can Man: Oga wetin nah, e never reach like that nah. Make you dey calm down oh.

He turned on his tape and played music so he could focus on his driving and mind his business.

Unfortunately for me, this bastard played an emotional song. Why are people so wicked? Why's everyone so mean to me. How could you be? How could you be playing such music at this moment?

He played and was vibing to Westlife Soledad.

"Soledad
It's a keeping for the lonely
Since the day that you were gone
Why did you leave me
Soledad?
In my heart, you were the only
And your memory lives on
Why did you leave me
Soledad?"

With more than 80millions of music in the world, it's this particular one you chose to play... God will punish you (sobbing)

My eyes were wet with all my soul covered with emotions. Thinking of how that boy will shag Ene tonight when they get home.

The love of my life, me that was thinking I've found true love. I did everything possible to make you happy, cooked for you, wash for you, even washed your pants (crying). I washed your pants. I will naked myself, put one finger in my anus, and swear for you...(sobbing) It will never be well with you... (sobbing)

Fast forward, I got home, paid the Cabman and he drove off.

I walked through into the gate and another awkward moment befell me. Almost all my useless neighbors are at home, sitting outside. About 6 of them.

"These bastards didn't go to work?", I mumbled and walked in clumsily.

"Una well-done oh", I greeted calmly as I walked towards my door.

"Welcome bros", they all echoed.

But there's this useless neighbor of mine Brah Mathew, he always enjoys being a bastard, he loves to poke nose. He can never see things and ignore them.

He will always want to talk. That was how he snitched on the next compound that they don't pay bills and one of the Nepa officials still snitched on him and came to tell them.

He got the beating his life that very day. But he'll never change. That's why he lost his job. Now He's a newspaper vendor (Angry)
