As i come outside, na him i call Dabo ask am where him dey. Him say make i come shinge. Chei e don tey way i enter shinge oo, shinge na were we dey go smoke weed those days.

na like so i come dey bounce with my bagi tourzer and my Tupac cloth dey go shinge. When i reach shinge, the place na one uncompleted story building. na like so guys just they look me until Dabo intruduce me to them.

''Ade pass my guy one wrap of igbo abeg'' Ade is the guy that sells weed for them, he look so huge with a big scars on his face, he look so dirty and unkempt. '' na who be this JJC''? He asked Dabo who took a long drag of his weed before saying '' na my guy be this, na we get area before una show. So show am some love'' Ade came forword and remove his cap for me while shouting what i can't comprehend. That's what weed can do. I just dey smile, light my weed and took a long drag and Dabo said with a serious face '' guy we need to talk''. I fallowed him to the back of the building

'' guy you don see how our domain to trun to na, na so so small small boys don full here'' that was Dabo speaking '' my guy wetin come happen after all of us go school na''? .

Dabo told me how our domain was raid by our rivals as soon as i and the rest went to school. How they came in the night and open fire in shinge. 8 of our guys die and just 1 of them was killed. He also told me that they were planing to go on a revenge mission but the guy are not that stronge.

''so those guys no fear, they come attack us for shinge abi? I was boiling and fill with angry. Dabo took a long drag of weed and said '' karma no worry, na us be isreal, na them be palestine and na shinge be GAZA'' hmmm Dabo would never stop to amaze me. '' guy how your school stuff na'' immediatly i ask, his expression change. He told me how cult boy wanted him death, so he had to drop out of school. We went back and join the other smoking in shinge.

i was still angry with what Dabo told me, how 8 of my area paddies were killed by our rival. I don't know if it was the weed i took, i just saw my self in front of the new boys making a speech'' sha una know wetin they happen for this cabban long time ago, na me be karma, me and Dabo na him be the only survival when those guys attack shinge, make una no worry we go go back for revenge and these one fit be the final fight between us and them. But no be now, na when i finish my service. I go make chemical way we go take attack them, even children, women and old men we no go leave''. Dabo was just looking at me with admiration, weed is atually speaking.

When i finish my speech, you could read joy, excitement and revange in the boys faceses. And there came lucky dube's track '' Respect'' . That was how we smoked into the night. No place like home

it was half past 11 pm when i came back home and saw the door luck, well i wasn't expecting it to be open at this time of the night. So i just climb the short fence, open the palour room with a hard kick from my left leg. That was the power of weed i took. My mum was enjoying her sleep, no need waking her up. I went to bed.
