It all happened about 19 years ago when i was with my uncle at ibadan. My uncle had a wife who newly gave birth then, and i was asked to be with them, so as to baby sit the child. On getting there, my aunty told me that my uncle's attitude changed immidiately she became pregnant. He started keeping girlfriends of which one was 3 houses away from ours. He kept late nights, which went longer than normal one day that my aunt and i were in great panic for hours. As soon as it was 11:00pm my aunt told me to go and sleep that if my uncle came back that i shouldn't open the door for him. So, we both went to bed. About few moments later, we got awoken by his car, looking at the time, it was past 1:00am. He banged the door for some time but no one responed and after which we heard his car jerk to life and he zoomed off. The next day, he didn't talk to any one including me. My uncle also drinks but not as much as he smokes. He was a heavy smoker. My aunty always tell him that he doesn't like men who smokes but he wouldn't listen. My aunty used to say he married him because he was decent, yet he didn't listen. Her warning kepting ringing for days... not until one day.
It was on a cool evening like this and i was with aunty at the balcony, that was how uncle called "Elijah", Ah... i ran to him in the sitting room. "go and buy me a packet of benson"
he gave me money and i went. When i came back, I gave it to him. He lit it up and started dragging in, and puffing. My aunty on seeing this, gave me the little baby and went inside. She went to the packet of cigarrette, brought out one, snatched the match box from her husband, lit it, took a drag and puffed. My uncle was astonished, he didn't believe what he saw at first. My aunty took out another, lit it up with the one in her mouth. Smoked the first one till it got finnished, started the second, finished it, brought out the third lit it and was about finishing it... while my uncle was still in his number one.
On seeing this, my uncle dusted his cigarrette, turned it off, squeezed the pack and screamed...
Elijah, go and throw it away.
Little did my uncle know that my aunty whom he thought was a gentle and calm woman, was a hardened smoker while she was in boarding school.
Ever since then, my uncle quited smoking.
He change drastically.
My uncle that 11pm used to be his closing hours... to our greatest suprise 2pm became his closing hour.
Althrough that week till i left their apartment, my uncle became the man who my aunt said she fell in love with.
