Haha... grin That's right....
However, just about the time Sammyprof gave his testimony of the restoration of power, I sighted some able-bodied guys of the community hovering about the poles, as I speak, one has already woken up from its worship, two are still worshipping... : D

I agree, awamaridi ni'se Oluwa...

Why do readers threaten writers with unfollowing of thread? Maybe you think we are getting paid for writing here. CAPITAL NO!

You don't even encourage me with your comments in the past, all I just see now is a threat. cool

Farewell my sister. Safe journey.

Thank you my sister, a true fan who will take the pain to follow me anywhere I go, but some ppl will never offer the least sacrifice, even though the writer is subscribing 1,500 naira monthly just to update free.

fact: I have never subscribed a full month (#1,500) until I began to write stories here. Yet some ppl will discourage you and would make you feel like going offline forever.

Food is now ready at www.ebiag.com.
Go there now. Thanks.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR


Toyosi was shocked when she discovered that I had sold all the eggs in the room where she stored them. That day, I didn't stop at three crates. I kept on going back home to bring more crates until fifteen crates of eggs were sold by us.

Toyosi rushed to me and asked in fury, "Where are my eggs?" I signed a response back to her. She was amazed. I had 'sounded' incredible.

"And where is the money?" she asked, to be sure I was saying the right thing. I put a hand into my waist wallet and gave her all the money in it.

That evening, Toyosi had to take it upon herself to get some crates of eggs in replacement, which she expected me to sell the next day.

John was amazed when he heard about it. If only he had the time in his control, he would trail me from behind and know the secret. But he dared not skip job for a day. Even Toyosi too would have done that, but unfortunately for her, she could not.

The sales continued. The strategy was really working to the extent that some good Samaritans would tell us not to bother given them change.

Now I had discovered Toyosi's lie. Did she not say that she was omnipresent? Did she not say that she was seeing me anywhere and anytime? Why didn't she see what I was doing to sell that much?

So, Toyosi seeing me with Moses that day was a coincidence, I thought. Then my thought of fleeing the home once and for all ravished my brain, but for Biodun's sake, I would stay. How would he feel without me? Biodun won't survive not 'seeing' me around for one month let alone forever.

On the first day of putting our idea into use, just when we were leaving, a young boy came close to us. He was an egg buns seller. Biodun made the boy's intention known to me and I accepted the idea:

He said his name is Chinedu. He wants us to help him sell his egg buns, since eggs and egg buns are more or less the same commodity

So, what is our bonus?

I told him to pay us #3 per egg buns we help him sell. He would be putting two showglasses before us everyday.

How many buns would be in each showglass?

Fifty I guess

Then it means we shall be having around #300 daily if we sell all

Exactly!

That's a good business! Let's do it!

Chinedu began to drop his showglasses before us everyday, since it would save him the stress of walking about under the sun for hours to have them all sold.

People around that corner loved us so much. They wouldn't want to patronise other people except if we had nothing left to sell. Biodun even said he overheard somebody saying that she was challenged by our lifestyle; despite our limitations, we could still overcome it and work for a living by ourselves unlike the many people hanging around without any loss of there organs, yet begging for alms.

We were so much blessed to the extent that some people would give us alms even when we haven't requested for them. At first, I wanted to go against such, but Biodun said we shouldn't reject it. We could use such money, added to the money Chinedu did pay us, to refresh ourselves before returning home each day.

That is not alm, but freewill offering, Biodun said. The ones they give in Church, are they alms too? he added.

Despite the fact that Biodun couldn't see, he appeared very clever. I used to wonder how precisely he did give descriptions of objects he hadn't seen before. I was shocked when he was describing the pillar of our house in a composition they were asked to write sometimes back. Biodun said that things he felt with his hands and those he heard with his ears tend to stick to his memory rigidly.

Even Laide who could see could not spell words better than Biodun, although she had her own strong point too. Laide, though lame, could swim better than me. I discovered that when we had the opportunity to learn how to swim in the school I once attended with them.

John began to avoid me, perhaps he knew what I could do. My audacity had risen to a level of egoism. I would let my father know that I wasn't useless as he had portrayed me. I addressed a note to him:

Daddy, you said I am useless but now I am proving you wrong. You said I couldn't sell a crate of egg so I am useless, but I have sold more than a hundred in four days. What do you think? Am I still useless? What else do you want me to do to show you that I AM ABLE? Perhaps after doing that, you might reconsider bringing back my mother.

John was speechless when he saw the letter. He came to where I was and gaped at me for a while, his face muddled up in total confusion.

I didn't go scotfree for my action. Toyosi came to my corner to beat me up, having glimpsed the note I addressed to her husband. I charged at her impulsively. I didn't know where that effrontery came from. I had snatched the cane and thrown it away before it lashed my body. Toyosi herself was scared. She just left me alone and went away.

I wondered what came on me. It was only two times I had displayed a kind of wild behaviour before her ever since, and in those two times she capitulated. Maybe she was even afraid of me somehow, I thought....
