'young man, did you read the requirement for this job? 'cause i'm sure you can have it or do u?' the woman who ealier introduced herself as madam labake asked. 'requirement?...' debo pronounced the word as if he had never heard about it before, then he came to realise that he didnt read what was write at the bottom of the board which he guess to be the requirement, he said, "what is the requirement, ma?". 'you must have atleast o'level result' labake answered. 'o'level result? what does that mean?' debo asked, he had never heard about that before. how would he, when he was only a primary school graduate. 'o'level result is the result of the exam one writes after completing secondary education' labake explained. 'owkay, but i don't have that ma' 'and you can't have the job' labake replied.

debo postrated and pleaded with her saying 'please you have to help me,ma, because i have no helper'. the words 'no helper' caught labake's attention, she was earlier lost in thought whether or not to employ the unskilled poor lad. 'you have no helper,can you shed more light on that?' madam labake asked. 'i'm an orphan and no relative cares for me' debo told her amist tears. labake felt his pains and made up her mind to employ him but no after telling him her 'dos and donts'. debo thanked her and promised not to do against her wish.

it was almost a month after ade died and banke was not finding things easy. ade left none of his properties for her because all of his properties were been sold so as to raise money to cater for ade's health. banke's business too went down since all the money she would have invested into her business was used also in the process of treating ade's illness. she was always crying and thinking of how she would survive and make ends meet. she sought for assistance from her friend but none helped her, they all claimed to be managing. one day, she visited her best friend,sola, told her what she was passing through and then asked for assistance, but the friend, instead of helping her, started preaching,'my friend, this life,we are in, is all about how smart one is. when you face crisis such as this, you are not meant to start singing your problem all about. nobody is ready to help anybody because everybody is looking for somebody to help him/her. so telling them what you are facing will only make them mock you. some might even say you killed your husband and you want to kill them also with your problem. hope you understand me' "but a yoruba adage says aile soro nibere oriburuku (meaning a problem shared is half-solved)" banke said. 'yes thats true but that's if you share your problem with someone reasonable and no just anybody" her friend replied. 'so what should i do now?' banke asked. 'you will out-smart your problem' 'how?' 'you will re-marry, but don't marry a poor man oh' 'are you sure thats the right thing?'banke asked. her friend answered,'yeah! dont bother about who to marry, i will help you arrange that' 'but sola, what of my son, won't it affect him?' banke asked. "dont worry yourself, not having money gangan is what will affect him. so get married and become rich and that takes care of everything' banke agreed to remarry and thanked her friend for the advice. she was about leaving when she remembered her main purpose for visiting which was to beg for food she and her son would eat. sola gave her a bowl of rice. banke thanked her and went home.

[left][/left]madam labake took debo around her small shop, telling him the price of each item sold in the shop. she also told him the importance of, use of and difference in different brands of braids, attachments, weave-on, hair accesories, hair relaxers and hair creams. after walking round the shop, madam labake walked up to her desk and brought out a machine from it. debo thought what his boss was holding was her cellular phone but madam labake told him it was a calculator. 'wow! a calculator! hmmm... from its name i guess its use to calculate' debo said, staring at the calculator with amusement. 'yes u are right' madam labake answer. she taught him how to use it to calculate the amount a customer is meant to pay and also the change he/she will collect. debo was getting more interested the job, the aspect he like most is the part of using calculator. madam labake told him the calculator can calculate any figure in the world and this made him want to have a calculator of his own. he also wondered why his class teacher would bother him in calculating what a calculator can do easily.... different thoughts kept coming into his head until a 'good afternoon', from a woman customer, brought him to reality.

'hey, seun. good afternoon oh! how's family and business?' labake asked. the women talked about their families and business for a while before labake asked,'what brought you here today?' madam labake and seun are childhood friends, they attended the same primary school, secondary school and university. of the duo, labake is more brilliant and beautiful, this made seun secretly jealous of her. there was a time during their secondary school days, when seun's crush fell in love with labake but seun was bittered but she hid her feelings. seun's parents made her go through many hard time, or let me call it HELL, just because labake was always topping their class while seun was alway within 10th to 20th. seun had secretly vowed to deal with labake because of these in return, but had not seen the opportunity to do such. 'hmmm... there is occasion my family would attend this weekend, you can join us if you want to. so, i wanna buy 2 packs of 'chocolate' weave-on for myself and 2 big packs of 'expression attachment for my girls, also give me olive relaxer, 2 packs of hair clips, one apple hair cream, shampoo and placenta' seun ordered. "okay, debo hope you heard all what she said" labake asked. 'yes ma'debo said. 'go get them' she commanded. debo rushed in to get all what seun asked for. 'who is he?' seun asked. 'my sales-boy, why asking?' 'hmmm, nothing just that have not seem him here before' 'oh! he started work just today' labake added. seun wanted to say something but kept shut when debo returned with the materials she ordered for. 'get the calculator and calculate my friend's money' labake instructed. without wasting time, debo was through with the calculation, the calculation was easy since the price of each item was written on it. debo wrote seun's receipt and gave labake to check what he had written. labake was impressed, debo did a nice job and gave seun her receipt and order, which were already in polybag. seun paid her bill and left labake's shop with evil intentions. she has found the loophole she had been looking for. 'it's time to strike labake' she said to herself smiling wickedly.

seun pulled her car over infront of an abandoned-looking uncompleted building. she walked into the building with her handbag and a polybag in her left and right hand respectively. when she entered the building, she turned to her left and entered a room that look the livingroom of the building.
in the room were 5 heavily built men, who had cigarette within their fingers. seun found it difficult to breath in the room because the whole room was filled with smoke from the cigarette, she greeted the men in the room and they answered by nodding their heads. then one of the men, who looked like the boss because he was the only one sitting while others stand round him, said 'ma'am, why are you lating?'
'it is the traffic.. capon am very sorry' seun replied almost kneeling down, because she didnt want to annoy the so called capon.'
'ok, what business bring you here?' he asked with a very scary baritone voice which cause the building they were in to vibrate
'it's just a robbery business which i want to use as a revenge against my enemy' seun replied after laughing at capon's grammar within her. she dare not laugh out because the mean looking capon can do any thing to her if he hears the laughter
'details. please!' capon barked
'take it' seun gave him a paper she brought out from where no one knows where.
'so we are to striking next saturday'
'can't he see it in the sheet i gave him..? he can't speak correct english sef. mtcheew!' seun asked herself and reluctantly said 'yes'
'you knew your money abi'? capon asked
'how much?'
'1M'
'haba. that's too much. i'm not asking you to kill anyone just bring all the valuables and money in the shop that all'
'what's too much in that? madam look here 1M or no deal.' capon replied. seun was suprised capon could speak a flawless english, maybe when he gets angry his brain would work as its meant to. seun concluded.
'ok, capon. here is u 800k. i will pay the balance when you are through with the job' she handed over the polybag to one of capon's men.
'that's cooling ma'am' capon said
'my god! this guy is back to his grammar' seun reasoned within herself and said 'yeah! bye for now' she turned and walked away.
immediately she left, capon told his guys 'verify the money she brought and another thing is that you guys must not Bleep up with seun's job. and tiger you will go check out the shop, so we would find it easy to draw our plans. taken?'
"yes boss!" the four men chorused.
''good' capon said and dropped the cigarette butt on the ground

Chapter 4
Banke sat on a wooden stool in a corner in her kitchen. she thought about how she had struggled to survive as a widow and how some mean women in abani avoided her like plague. she had heard them gossip about her times without number. some of the women went to the extent of making sure no one buys anything from her shop by telling customers she killed her husband with her witch-craft. after some minutes, she remembered her meeting with her friend who told her to re-marry.
'what will people say? they will now say i killed ade so that i will be able to marry another person!!! would ade's spirit be happy if i marry again' banke kept asking herself. 'hmmmm!!' she sighed and kept quiet.
'what's bad in re-marrying? ehn, seun tell me, what's there? don't let what people will say determine what you will do? make choices by yourself but i advice you to follow your heart? and lastly remember our son must not suffer anything' a voice said to banke. banke jumped up.! she heard the voice but didn't sef anyone in the room where she was seated. 'but i heard the voice clearly now! or was that ade??' she asked herself. 'no that can't be!!! ade can't be in support of marrying again" she kept quiet again, sighed deeply and said 'and this unseen person mentioned something like 'our son'. then that must be ade!! what do i do now? kini kin se?'

'tiger what do you bringing for us? hope it's gooding news?' capon asked with his '-ing' english
'oga,the operation go dey sweet die! but one thing i noticed is that there are many shops in the neighborhood of our target' tiger who seen to just return from where him alone can tell responded.
'that one no be wahala now' killer, who is the most competent in aspect of using gun and other 'killer' weapons (maybe thats why he was nicknamed killer, who knows?), replied.
'smart up! kilo, you don forget say the madam wey gif us work talk say make we no kill anyone?' tiger asked killer.
'abi oh!' the remaining two men called 'cobra and axe' said in support of tiger just to show that they too are interested in what is being discussed
'ehnen? is that so? that one go add small oh' killer replied
'any idea?' capon barked
'yes boss, we can behave like gentle men for us to succeed in doing this oh! because the boy wey dey that shop nah jjc' tiger suggested
'how you take know say that boy nah jjc?' axe asked
'i don use ogboju(cheat) for him before. that was dey months back when he sold bread and other chop_chop things for garage. the boy almost died when he dey chase me. i no know how he take survive self' tiger responded
'hahahahahahaha, baddest guy' other shouted in unison
