The book is titled 'Oga Landlord' it's about Mr. Akpors and his tenant. Everyone, Yes! I mean everyone that has ever read the book said the book is very interesting. Let me drop just the first chapter so that you imagine what i'm saying.




CHAPTER ONE
The Landlord, Mr. Ukor opened the letter and
discovered it was from Akpors, his tenant. He read silently the
letter nicely written in Pidgin English.
''Dear Oga Landlord,
Abeg neva vex say i neva fit pay my rent for like
3 months now. Abeg, exercise small patience.''
Mr. Akpors
''Make I exercise patience wen i nor get patience?
Mtcheeew!'' Mr. Ukor mumbled and hissed.
He got angry but for the fact that Mr. Akpors had already written him a letter to plead for the delay in paying his rent, he
kept calm.


One Sunday afternoon, as Mr. Ukor, generally known by his tenants as 'Oga Landlord’ was entering his compound,
he heard a song being sang by Mr. Akpors in his room. He listened with all attentiveness to the lyrics of the song Mr. Akpors was singing:
''I don get alert na Godwin,
And I don pay my rent na Godwin
Anything I do na Godwin o, na Godwin oo, na Godwin ooo...''
As Mr. Akpors was still singing, Mr. Ukor left for his apartment opposite Mr. Akpors' room in the compound, with
the hope that Mr. Akpors would pay his rent soon.
''Six good days have passed and this yeye tenant that calls himself Akpors has not paid his rent, I taught I heard him
singing about recieving an alert, he even claimed to have paid
his rent. Hmmm, this man is playing with fire oooo, he thinks
he is the only one from Ughelli eeh? I will show him that I am
a typical Urhobo too'' Mr. Ukor murmured silently.
Few minutes from Mr. Ukor's soliloquy, he heard Akpors sweeping his frontage. Mr. Ukor quickly brought out some of his dirty clothes outside and pretended he had
planned to wash. He began to sing his own version of the song
Mr. Akpors sang few days back.

''Shey you say you don get alert na Godwin,
And you never pay your rent na Godwin,
But u dey claim say you don pay na Godwin,
Anything you do na Godwin o, na Godwin oo, na
Godwin ooo...''
as he was still singing, Akpors interrupted him by greeting
him:
''Migwo Oga Landlord''
''Vrendoooh, Akpors, how are you doing?'' Mr. Ukor
asked.
''Fine oooo, Oga Landlord, I am just managing ooo'', Mr. Akpors replied.
''Alright'' exclaimed Mr. Ukor.
In less than a minute, Mr. Ukor continued with his song.
''Abeg try and pay your rent na Godwin
And I don increase all the rents na Godwin,
And na one year I dey collect na Godwin,
Anything I do na Godwin o, na Godwin oo, na Godwin ooo...''
As he was still singing, Mr. Akpors quickly disappeared from the scene. He knew there was fire on the mountain and needed
not to be told that his landlord was not happy with the delay in paying his rent for some months now. (Go get your copy and discover more interesting events that took place.)
