What I encountered at the bank
EPISODE 4
I filled the small slip.
I went to the line where I would pay-in(deposit). I saw only three(3) people there, two small boys which I’m sure their secondary school students and a short black lady…
I noticed the black fat lady using style, stealing gaze at me.
***I really don’t know why she’s looking at me or is she expecting me to approach her??…..No No No, silly thoughts off….. Well maybe its because am taller than her or I look like someone she knows…
I ignored her without even smiling because I don’t like fat ladies but I can manage a black/chocolate lady..
To avoid much thinking, I brought out my phone, unlocked it, pressed menu, swiped to the left twice, clicked on theNote, I scrolled down to where I saved the days we always do shows on Whatsapp group, clicked on it, then I discovered Mondays are for Partying and Chatting I need to be there***
Finally it got to my turn after doing some things on my phone, by that time two people are at my back.
I gave the fair slim casher lady +hiding behind much make-ups especially too much lipsticks on her long/big lips+ the slip filled with the depositors name, account number, and others on it. She collected it with the 19,800 naira, but before that I’ve already saved the 90naira into my pocket….
After some minutes the cashier said with an angelic voice I think I fell for …
Cashier:– I’m very sorry sir, but the owners account….looked downehnmmmmm…..Mr Pizzaro….. is too full which cannot take in anything higher than 100naira to his account.
I thanked her happily collecting money**Not because of the money only but also the voice behind the face****…..I went to take another slip… Filled it….payed it into my account…
As I was about to press the button at the door, I saw a security with Pen on his hand teaching someone how to fill it. That was when I remembered the pen with me also… I looked everywhere in search with my eyes, but I couldn’t find the man. I take a few walk around there but still yet I can’t see the man…
**Mood now changing***
I was thinking it wouldn’t be good if I take the man’s pen home, then I decided to go and check the man upstairs and if I still can’t find him, I will have to give the security man(who knows how many pen they’ve collected in such situation like that, but they can never borrow you their own {or lemme say other peoples own} when you’re in need of it)…..
As I was heading up through the staircase………..guess who I saw???

EPISODE 5
As I was heading up through the staircase I saw the man coming down… I quickly walked fast to meet and give him. When I got to where he was, he said
Man:– Its you I wanted to look for self because I need the pen urgently where am coming from now…
Me:– Thank you very much sir… I really appreciate it sir
He didn’t reply, but looking at me somehow…
But as I turned leaving… He said… Come son.
Then I turned and answered him.
Man:- As you’re going home now, don’t pass the way you passed when coming to this bank, don’t even step on the place you passed, i mean pass another way even though if its the longest journey and don’t enter any vehicle till you get home…
***I don’t always enter any vehicle before, either when coming or going to the bank before self(for reason best known by me)****
I then replied without thinking twice…
Me:– Ok sir…. I’ll do that sir….. Thank you once again sir…
—————————————-
It was when I was out of the bank that I realized I’m left to pass a very long journey without anything taking me faster to my destination….
Well… I’ll obey the man. Then I started the journey to Iyana-Isolo bridge…
I got to the bridge then I was looking at Ilasa bridge down the express road..
Just like when Eve was looking at the good & the bad fruit, and started thinking what the fruit might do for her
I started thinking “Wait oo.. Is it not that this man wants to punish me probably because of the pen I gave to him late???…”
Then I made up my mind to walk down to Ilasa**instead of going from there to Layi-oyekanmi then walking down like a mad man till I’ll reach Kekere-owo*** from there.
At-least I’ve obeyed him by passing this way till I got here Iyana-Isolo and I wunt enter any vehicle till I get home…
Moreover, I don’t want to be like onihaxy who will be told everything every time…
So I started walking to Ilasa without crossing over the bridge but straight to Ilasa..
I got to hassan b/stop, climbed the bridge crossing to the other side, I started coming down from the bridge when I noticed something unusual.
Episode 6
I noticed everywhere was silent, some of the traders along the bridge road have closed. I saw the man selling and repairing wrist-watch and wall-clocksat the edge of the bridge, quickly packing his Clocks outside.. I then tried to ask the man not looking at me what is happening, so I would know if I’ll pass Sadiku street at the back of the bridge….
Me:– Dádì e-króòlé, ejòó sé kòsí tíbí dá bàí(Daddy good evening, please I hope there is nothing for this place to be quiet like this)???…
Man:– Mtcheew… Wòó mà wábíkan sá sí, jékí àwon omo òsì yen ríe kóo tó mo nkan tólè se.(Look don’t find a place to hide, let the stupid boys see you before you know what they are capable of doing)!!!!..
Even though he didn’t answer my question straight forward, I can still understand what he’s trying to say because once in a while/ every year , cult groups always hunt for anotherfor only God knows which will last for like a week and will cause loss of lives…
They can hurt anybody they see/meet if they had missed a target, but wouldn’t if they met/meet their target….
—-
I quickly retreat my legs, not to the bridge but going beside the bridge to Sadiku street which a new Diamond and old Eco Bank is there, because I don’t want to pass Akanro street I was heading to anymore…
I was going under the bridge heading to Sadiku when I felt somebody grabbed my blue Jean from behind…
I quickly turned a little bit scared… To discover two policemen behind me…
I was thinking when and how did they get there that I didn’t see them when I was passing and probably would have go back to meet the Clock-man..
I then started saying
Me:– What did I ….. I didn’t finish saying it before a hot thunderous slap landed on my right cheek. I’m sure the police man who slapped me was using left
I quickly asked but this time with pegin-english
Me:– Whatin I do na?!?!
One of them dropped his call, while the other was staring at my round neck shirt’s arm…
Instantly, I remembered my Caring Mother telling me not to wear the shirt anymore because it has a devilish smiling half moon not longer than my shortest finger, painted in white there…..
