MY ENCOUNTER WITH A
GHOST!
By: Safiya T Idris

On that faithful day, I closed from work earlier because I was feeling unwell.

I stood by the road side at Mararaba waiting for a bus that will take me to Masaka when I saw someone that blew my mind away.

Walking towards me, was a young lady of about 22years or so. I have never seen a person glow that much.
I kept staring, until she was a few feet to where I was standing.
Note, Safiya is straight, I don't fancy my fellow women in a se*xu.al manner, but why I was so smitten by this lady is what I can't explain.

She stopped right by my side and said hi,
Hi, I managed to reply too, because I became totally confused when she stopped by my side.
She started waving her hands to stop a bus while all my concentration was on her.
I noticed, she was holding a leather bag apart from a small bag that was hanging across her shoulder.

A bus soon stopped, a meter from where we were standing, and we ran to catch up with the bus when the conductor beckoned on us to come.

I entered the bus first and the lady followed.
She sat close to me and our journey of few kilometers began.
"Bring your money, una hold change ba, the conductor said, and everyone started searching their purse for money.

I didn't bother looking, because I always hold my change before entering any bus.
"Can you please assist me with this", glowing auntie said, giving me her leather bag to hold for her, before searching for her money in her small bag I guess.

I reluctantly took the leather bag from her.
"What is here that you can not carry by yourself"
I said to myself.

We all gave the conductor our money, with a little argument here and there.
" Who give me 500, I no get change, hold your change before you enter bus, una no go hear"
The conductor shouted while the passenger he was talking to, fired back.

For some unknown reason, the glowing lady made me feel uncomfortable but I didn't know why.
I was lost in my thoughts when she suddenly said.
Driver, I will stop at the next bus stop at Gwandara.

The driver soon stopped at the bus stop and the glowing lady turned to me and said, please don't forget to deliver the message.
What message? I asked in confusion, but before she could reply, the conductor became impatient.
Madam abeg drop make we dey go, no waste our time. He said.

Glowing auntie, drooped from the bus and waved at me, and I also wave back, still in confusion.
We moved just a stone throw From where she dropped when I suddenly remembered something.

Continuation....

Driver please stop, I said quickly.
" You wan drop, and you no drop when that girl drop. I am not stopping until I get to the next bus stop. The driver said angrily.

She forgot something with me, please stop let me quickly give it to her, I begged, but the driver never stopped until we got to the next bus stop.
"You go come down abi make we dey go" the conductor said, when we got to the next bus stop.
I angrily got down from the bus, cu*rsing.

What type of problem is this one, I should be heading home to rest now only for this lady to come and spoil my plans, I ranted while some people passing by stared at me like someone loosing her mind.
" Eyahh, na so e dey take start" a passerby said and I glared at him angrily.
Na your mama head e go start oloshi, I cur*sed and he turned back to show me his middle finger. "F*u.c*k you"
And I gave him my five fingers back, " Waka" rolling my eyes at him.

After the mild drama, I started walking back to where the glowing lady dropped, when a thought suddenly came into my mind.

What is in this bag? I asked myself.
I looked around and saw a closed container store under a big tree. I walked quickly to stand between the container store and the tree, to have a little bit of privacy but some people still kept trying to see what I was doing.

I paid them no attention and faced my business, I checked the leather bag and saw a tied black nylon in it.
What could be inside this nylon, I wonder.
I went ahead to untie the nylon and I almost fainted in shock.

I saw a huge amount of money in the nylon and a piece of note at the top.
I looked at the note and I saw a phone number and a name written on it "Iko-ojo my love"

Who is Iko-ojo, I wondered, does the money belong to him? It must be pass 30 minutes since Mrs glowing dropped, will I still meet her there?
Should I even return this money?
My rent is almost due, and I still have to send money to my sick mother and my younger ones in the village and we are still at the second week of the month. I am owing mama leti money for the foodstuffs I bought at her shop since last week.
And I still have to pay my Contribution money this week, and I can't dodge it because I have already collected the contribution money.
Did God just send me a savior?
These were all the thoughts that were going through my mind while I stared at the money greedily.

At the end, the greedy nature, I never knew I had won over my good nature.

MY ENCOUNTER WITH A
GHOST!
By: Safiya T Idris

I walked briskly to the road side, holding the leather bag tightly like my life depends on it.
I took a bike home, since
I was already close to my house.

I was in a haste to go into my room when I drooped from the bike, but the bike man had no change when I gave him 500 naira.
He wanted to look for change, but I decided to let him go "Keep the change"
I said, waving it off like it was nothing, after all I've got some cool cash in the bag, what was 300 naira change to me again.

Immediately I stepped into the compound, I saw Enitan my nosey neighbor, washing her clothes by the of the house.
Ah Safiya, you are back, this one wey you carry leather today, did you bring something for us? Enitan asked.

Bring something for us? Who are the us? Did you send me for something?
Please I don't have time for your non*sense this evening, I said angrily, struggling to Open my door very fast.
Ahahn, na fight? are we quarrelling? Enitan asked but I just ignored her and entered my room.

I kicked off my shoes, and threw my bag to a corner of my single room. I quickly sat on the bed and brought out the money. It was 8 bundles of 1000 naira notes, I dropped the money on the floor and stared at it for a very long time, thinking of what to do.
I then decided to start spending the money after a week, if I do not see auntie glowing looking for me.

I removed all my clothes from my bag and placed the money under my bag before arranging my clothes on top of it.
I couldn't prepare anything that evening, so I went out after making sure my door was locked properly to get Akara (beans cake) from my customer down the street.

I was heading towards my room after buying the Akara when I saw something like a shadow running from the front of my door.
What could that be, I wondered, walking briskly to the front of my door to see what it was, but to my surprise, I saw nothing.
Maybe I am just hallucinating, I said to myself.
I unlocked my door and stepped into my room to meet the shock of my life.

I saw my room disorganized, the clothes that I had arranged earlier, were all over the place, even my utensils, that I arranged by the corner of my room before going to work in the morning, were scattered everywhere and some of it were broken.
I rushed to check my bag and behold, the money was still intact under my bag with no clothes left in the bag.

What is happening? How did this happen? The lock was not broken when I came back and the key was with me. This has never happened before.
This were all the thoughts going through my mind until I was startled by a loud knock on my door

Who could that be. I wondered in fear.
