A Female Vulcanizer Who Works With Her Husband In Enugu - Touching(photos) by Emmafman1(m): 10:06pm On Sep 22, 2018 |
Every day, except on Sundays, the energetic Mrs.
Chinelo Ogbonna comes to work at Mechanic
Village, dons her work wear and sets out many
types and sizes of vehicle tyres one atop the
other in front of her husband’s vulcanizing
workshop. She rushes at stopping vehicles, wheel
spanner in one hand, ever ready to begin the
loosening of a deflated tyre for repair. Her
husband, a wiry fair youth, does not stand
akimbo watching in front of his number 40, New
Parts Section shop. He does not assume the
pride of a man whose wife is at work with him.
No, Mr. Ifeanyi Ogbonna is busy already working
on a flat tyre, determined to patch it by fire, not
with a cold sealant. He makes as if it is a
common virtue in women, to behave like his wife.
Don’t be fooled. He knows he has a unique wife,
and he asks me to soften my wonder at this rare
form of feminism, and to make-belief she were an
ordinary apprentice, else it will get into her gait
and slow the turn of work! But not me. I step out
of my SUV, looking to quietly observe the whole
drama, scratching my eyebrows in measured
curiosity. I buy a fairly-used tyre and sit like other
clients to await my turn for service, if only to
catch this out-of-the-box situation. A big tyre
rolls at her command of hand. She stops it beside
the press. And I think the man of the shop will
take over to excavate the wheel from the tyre. My
eyes almost bulge to see her sit the large ring on
the tyre flange and jump upon the big handle of
the press to free the wheel. I want to remonstrate
by reflex. But something stops me. It is her
deftness, like one just tearing apart a paper. She
does not care that men are watching. The
reflexive but pretentious effeminacy that shows up
in some ladies whenever they are in the presence
of men, knows no place in her life. It is not that
she is not well-endowed as to mesmerize the
world if she wants. But she has packaged all the
voluptuousness of her body into that work wear.
The matter at hand is money. The money to feed
her family of a hardworking husband and four
children must be fought for. Yes, she has four
children and she is still in the side of youth. But
here she is, vulcanizing, for the good of the
society. Her way of life is a decision she made
herself. She is not forced by her husband. There
are moments of disagreements between the two.
But the quickness with which they settle their
differences is beyond public comprehension. I go
on in my mind about the standing values we
peddle around and which of them affects us
negatively or positively, until she calls my
attention to tell me she is through… I reveal to
them that they are news. I educate them how this
is so. They consent to a public view such as this
you see. It may bring more clients, who knows.
