EPISODE 11

Since we lived in the same neighbourhood (with Enyo, but I prefer calling her Enyi ), it gave me a wide range of opportunity to execute my dastardly and pshycho-spirited plan.

I carefully and thoroughly prepared my well concocted love charm. I just couldn't wait to start my fairy tale love adventure with Enyi. I started trailing and monitoring her every movement. But the girl won't just pee outside. She just stopped peeing outside, why now?. What kind of a bull-headedly stubborn girl is this now? I always moved around with my love charm carefully packaged inside my ink stained pockets (virtually all my pockets, both breast and trouser pockets were permanently stained with biro ink. I was a pen mechanic by profession), in case of incasities/emergency. I kept at this for about three frustrating weeks, before luck shone on me.

"The stubborn grass-cutter that continues to evade the trap of the hunter will one day end up in the belly of the hunter"

" The patient dog, they say eats the fattest bone", while " the patient man chews the bulkiest flesh". She is too gorgeous to be a bone. And I've toiled so hard to eat a bone na. I was born in Kano, specifically zoo road. So I should have the devouring ability of a tiger na.

One fateful night, while we were playing under the bright watching eyes of the moonlight (we call it wasan dare in Hausa, I.e night play); it was normal then for children to play with their peers sometimes till around midnight before going to bed. This was mostly during holidays, as our parents hardly complain. I was beginning to get tired of moving around with my already exhausted love charm. Hope was almost lost. I started heading for home, when I noticed Enyo coming out from a nearby maize farm. I shrugged it and continued moving. Almost Immediately, I remembered I had a yet to be completed self imposed task.

I subconsciously began to brainstorm ( What took her to that place alone?). Before I could finish brainstorming, I'd already seen myself standing on a gorgeous and wet circular patch of pee that was beginning to move towards me like a snake. Up til now I really can't tell how I got there so fast. It was a rainy season, perhaps the soil around there was almost saturated with water. My eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and my heart dancingly jumped in utter relief and joy, just like a Cop who's finally caught this notorious criminal . This is a sight to behold. Alas! I've made it. The pee was almost done infiltrating into the soil.

Within nanoseconds, I had stooped and ejected the whole stuff into the impatiently vanishing pee, though I was told to just dole out a little quantity. I wouldn't take any chance, coz I wanted over doze of the love. I was told, once I could complete the task, she will come begging me for love, starting from the next morning. She would endlessly cry out my name until she sees me. I couldn't wait till the next morning. I wanted her to start immediately.

I kept a distance and jubilantly observed her, should she start calling out my name. I waited a bit but nothing was forthcoming. I became apprehensive. After a while she held her Younger sister's hand and they headed home. As they were going, I coincidentally and deliberately stood along their route home so she could clearly see me while passing. But she passed me as one will pass a stone. I began to pant like someone who just finished a 100 meter race. But I took solace in the fact that the charm will start working tomorrow, since the overdose did not trigger immediate response. We headed home after my sister was sent to call us ( my brother and I).

Romance / EXTROVERT Or INTROVERT; Which Are You/which Are You Attracted To? by Chenzee(m): 11:47pm On Apr 02, 2019
Temperament gurus do say that, Extroverts are always drawn or attracted to introverts. I do believe, coz I've seen so many of such. A quiet husband and and noisy wife, or vice-versa. Though there are exceptional cases.
Some one said, if both are same temperaments (eg all Extroverts), who will hear who? there will be so much fights in that house etc.

I also read that Extroverts are exceptional talkers that could easily spill out secrets or issues they ain't supposed to say in public. Introverts easily keep malice and mostly have low self esteem, they are always gloomy and moody.

I am extroverted, specifically Sanguine Phlegmatic. I am mostly drawn to introverts. I need some one who will listen to me.

What's yours?

EPISODE 10
We rushed and started stoning her.

Since she was up on the tree, the gown she wore was wide open for us to see her red laced panties that matched with her uniform. Fortunately for me, the morning breeze was intermittently aggressive. It will excitedly open wide the gown to my viewing pleasure (I started looking intently as though I'd seen a ripe fruit that was about to drop). From that time on, I stopped seeing any one there except my ripe mango. I guess, the other boys kept throwing stones. But as for me, I was in wonderland.

I stood there waving and now amiably telling her to come down. Any effort she made to come down, reduced my viewing horizon. I stylishly continued coming closer to the tree and directly underneath her to enhance a clearer and better view. If school were to be as fun as this, I'd come to school on sick bed, I thought. All the while, I didn't hear the ringing of the bell for the commencement of the assembly, until another bell rang in my ear. An ear-deafening slap landed on my excited earlobe that sent loads of vibration to my tympanic membrane. The shock immediately broke open my already collapsing ossicles and semi-circular canals. I instantly lost balance and plunged to the ground. I lost use of my senses for about two seconds before I came back to full consciousness.

That car owner must be jailed, I soliloquized in micro seconds. That slap was too hot to be from a human being. I got up to see the most feared teacher in the planet (Uncle Peter) standing in front of me. Can someone please teach me how to faint. If not because I had a piss some moments ago, I would have irrigated the whole school with my molten pee.

"The monkey that loves dancing on a broken branch might not live to tell his pathetic story"

Kneel down there, he ordered me. I was about to start crying, the next thing I saw was Enyo kneeling down beside me. I had to abruptly rewind and reverse the sobs that were about to start gushing out of my mouth. We stayed there till after the assembly. I was flogged about ten lashes, while she was given five. Enyo cried out profusely, while I managed to suppress mine until I was sure Enyo had entered her class. I couldn't continue suppressing the already accumulated cry ("e don accumulate reach my throat"wink). "I rush enter toilet, enjoy my cry". During break, I saw Enyo describing how strong I was, gesticulating how I didn't even feel the 10 strokes I was given. See celebrity. I thought I had gotten her with that single act of brave cowardice. Nah! It's like she hated me the more.

I didn't relent in my childish love for Enyo. I met my friend (Jinan) who's dad was a traditional doctor to help me with the recipe on how to make Enyo madly fall in love with me. We grew up believing the Agama Lizard and love myth. I met Jinan and he taught me how to make the concoction. He just forged some thing and told me, which I believed seeing his dad is a native doctor.

I spent the whole day hunting Agama Lizard in company of my friends. I was told to cut off the head of a mature agama, sun-dry, grind into powder and empty into a small leather. Keep it airtight, in a cool dry place, away from high temperature until I'm about to use. I should apply on the spot where the supposed victim will urinate. She will love me beyond imagination. " Who no love love"?

Religion / A Short Story On Tithing... by Chenzee(m): 9:49pm On Mar 31, 2019
A particular wealthy and highly influential man, decided to visit his village. On arrival, he was greeted and welcomed with joy and happiness.

After settling down, he decided to take a tour of the village. While on tour, he noticed something that really pained him. He realized that most families were living in pronounced and chronic state of poverty. As the son of the soil who has gone out and has become wealthy, he thought of what and how to come in to help these people.

He went back to the city and came back on a fateful day. He decided to help each family with substantial capital to begin different trades and businesses. By doing so, he had helped every family that had little or no means of livelihood to begin life on a better slate.

They were all smiles, and a great and massive jubilation broke out in the village. He was happy to put smiles on the faces of those who once had just bleak chances of survival.

Before he left for the city, he pleaded with them to just prove to him they loved what he had done for them, by just keeping only ten percent (10%) of their profits for him. Since there was no banks then, he will occasionally send someone to come and collect the moneys. They accepted without any form of hesitation. Some of the villagers even suggested he makes them swear an oath. He declined and said he trusted everyone.

The wealthy man went back relieved. In no time their businesses boomed. The villagers gave their 10% promptly. But with time, they started coming up with frivolous and flimsy excuses as to why they won't be able to pay. Some would say " after all, he has enough money, what will he do with this little amount". Some will deliberately forget. Some will be too busy to remember. Some will use it to invest in other businesses etc.

It got to a very annoying level, that only 1 percent (1%) of the villagers gave their 10%. The rich man decided to come to the village himself, but just a few villagers took note of him. They totally forgot their initial sorry states before he came and made them who they now are. He didn't do anything to them, rather he added to those who gave theirs and even made them more prosperous.

He later went back dejected and regretfully bitter. Most of us skillfully carve out excuses for not giving our tithes. Were you to be the rich man, what would have been your reaction?

God is not poor, He is not selfish. He just wants to test our obedience. You asked for a job, He gave you. You were born into a rich family, if your parents were not once poor, then some one in your lineage was. How much do you obey His teachings. You don't have a good paying job, obey Him it's just 10%.

Note: We don't pay tithes, we give tithes.
Health / Woman Swallows Live Maggots In Attempt To Fully Cure Her Cancer by Chenzee(m): 6:38pm On Mar 30, 2019
I stumbled on this bizarre stuff, and felt like sharing.

A recovering cancer patient swallowed a cup of live maggots after being told by a friend that this could fully eliminate the cancer from her body, local Chinese media reported on March 21.

Doctors in Shaanxi Province, China, suspected that the woman’s cancer had relapsed. But after some tests, they found that her symptoms were not caused by cancer, but rather by the insects crawling around inside her stomach.

The woman, whose surname is Li, has received medical treatment to remove the maggots, and is now in stable condition.

al. (User: Wide News Viewing/weibo.com)
“After we did the evaluation, we found that her situation was completely stable,” Wang said in the video. “There weren’t any traces of the tumor relapsing or metastasizing.”

Since no cancer was found, the doctors decided to instead exam Li’s stomach directly, in search of the source of her pain. The hospital performed an endoscopy, using a camera to view her digestive track. “We discovered that there were parasites in her intestines, and what’s more is that they were still moving,” Wang said in the video.

“Finally, after we asked the patient in detail [about what she’d done], the patient told us that one month ago, she swallowed a bottle of maggots,” Wang said.
Li told the doctors that it was a folk remedy that she heard of from a friend. According to Li, the friend claimed that her cancerous tumor would be cured after ingesting a bottle of maggots.
Once the doctors found the cause of Li’s ailment, they administered medicine to kill the maggots. By the second day, Li’s pain was completely gone, according to First News.
Li has already left the hospital, and is now following doctor's order.

EPISODE IX


Words had completely dried up from my mouth. I stood transfixed for some seconds, piercing her with the unwavering stare that came from my flabbergasted twin optical instruments (eyes). I open-mouthedly ( at that point, my mouth had also become an organ of sight, with the way it was wide open) scanned and analysed every single curve and edge on her well endowed and parabolic body. Nenny!!! she uttered in a confused but ecstatic manner that made me jumped back to reality. Enyo!!! before I could continue, she attacked me with a voracious and mind-blowing hug that almost sent me to Paradise (it's because I'm a full time virgin that's why I'm not used to stuffs like these ooo). Now, I wouldn't have gone to Paradise ooo; but this lady refused to let go of me, instead she held on to me even tighter this time around not minding how much her already well endowed soft and succulent but turgid mammary gland that was initially looking at me was now pressing and threatening the existence of my rib cage. She continued to press on harder. That was when I confirmed that it wasn't stream water that flows through me but blood.

At that point, my bull-headedly stubborn and unschooled professor, was trying to poke its way through my trouser. why dost thou persecutest me ( in king James version). Then suddenly, my new boss thundered, what are you still doing there young man? Emm emmmm , she just found it Ma, I answered. All the while, Enyo had no single clue of what was transpiring in my trouser. We immediately broke loose from the long but adventurous embrace (Thank God ooo, I would have poked her with my bazooka. "Where I for keep my head na"wink. I then quickly whispered to her what madam had sent me to get. She hurriedly traced the documents ( my credentials) and properly arranged them. My bazooka was still not ready to sleep ooo.If I untuck my shirt from my trouser, it wouldn't look good coz I'm just coming and could easily arouse suspicion from Enyo and every one. in split a second, I thought of what to do. I pretended to be looking at a poster on the wall, thereby backing her, so she wouldn't notice the bulge in my trouser. As she was trying to hand over the documents to me, I mistakenly but deliberately let it slip from my hand, still facing the wall. The documents splattered on the floor (at least this could buy me enough time to fix my self). Oh sorry! Enyo pleaded. I should be the one apologizing, I retorted as we instantaneously bounced to the floor and packed everything. This time, I avoided eye contact to avoid stories that touch ooo.

I took the documents to Madam. After series of bashful rantings, she collected. She then told me to go meet Jummai (Enyo) again, to give me a little task to perform, as I commence my one week probation. probation? I asked unconsciously. "Wetin you want before", she answered. I began moving towards the cubicle where Enyo was . "If you like go hug am again", she added. That slowed me down a bit. Madam, you said? I asked in shock. I said, go and fry your head, she answered. (This woman na "tolotolo". So she had her eye on us. 200 naira work, na him she come dey para for person. If no be because of Enyo, I for just commit for here wallai)
****************************************************

Enyo used to be my primary school crush. I didn't start crushing on her until one fateful and unforgettable Friday morning in school. I was in primary 4A, while she was in primary 3C. Enyo was a very stubborn but pretty girl. When she smiles, laughs or even cries, her dimpled cheeks sink into her mouth. If you are not careful, you will pee in your panties. I once thought she had a hole in the inside of her cheeks, coz those dimples were a sight to behold. You could confuse it for a safe. One could drop some thing in there and come back to find it there.

she was so agile that she competed with, if not bettered the boys in racing and especially tree climbing. I once hated her for her stubborn nature. But things changed on that Friday morning. Boys wear red shorts and red check shirts while the girls wear red pinafore checks.
She once came to my class during break see one of her friends. When she was about leaving, she turned to us (myself and 2 of my friends) and shouted "Olodo boys." We left what we were initially doing and gave her a hot chase. Omoh!! that girl na correct sprinter. She ran and climbed a very large tree.

Family / The Fables I Once Believed With All My Organs. by Chenzee(m): 11:45pm On Mar 19, 2019
Back then, as a growing but naive kid; I was
told several lies, either in stories or in reality. I
did not only believe in them, but also
practicalised the practicable. I know you have
similar experiences. I will write few of those fables I can remember.

1. Anytime I successfully place a calabash with
the the bottom facing up in a moving whirlwind. it instantly turns into a bush baby. I have since bursted Maale's 5 calabashes.

2. Once any of my milk tooth drops/falls off, I
shouldn't allow lizard see it, else a new one will
not sprout. I should either bury it, or throw it on
the rooftop. Sun for don roast my plenty teeth by now.

3. Anytime I wave or beckon at a flying white
egret repeatedly, while singing a song (Egret,
give me white, I give you red). My finger nails
will instantly turn white. Uptil now my nails never white ooo. in fact, they are even turning black.

4. After slaughtering a duck; if I could cut off the
head and tie it inside a leather for a week, it
turns into a snake. My room stink pieces, no snake.

5. Anytime I eat the head, especially the brain
of any animal (esp chicken) while eating meat; I
become extremely brilliant and sharp in school. I eat brain vomit, I still no carry first position.

6. White man's poo (faeces) tastes like egusi
soup. I never see oyibo poo for outside sha. I for taste am.

7. Sugar ant (sugar loving ant), if well
nurtured and given enough sugar, could
transform into a lion after one month. (I tried this
particular one, several times after stealing
mumsy's sugar, but didn't work...They died of suffocation in a nylon bag). My friends got tired of waiting for our lion.

8. My uncle once called us ( my siblings and I ),
after lunch was served. Told us to kneel down
and place our dishes (with food inside) on our
heads before eating, so he could pray for us. He
said to us, if after the prayers, anyone sees his/
her meat inside, then it means God hasn't
answered our prayers. That's what he does
anytime he wants to eat free meat. I once cried that God didn't carry my meat...I go do am for him children sha.

9. If a girl doesn't love me; and I love her so
much. I should get the head of an agama lizard,
sun- dry it, and grind into powder. Any where
the girl urinates (must be outside), I should
apply on that spot (must be on the ground).
She will come begging me for love after 24hrs.
Lol... I wait tire.

10. Any one who summons the courage to fight with a bush baby in the evil forest and succeed in making its back to touch the ground. That person will be stinkingly rich. I dey craaze?

Do You Have any?

EPISODE EIGHT

My mum is an easygoing, dark complexioned, exceptionally religious woman and a diligent nurse. Her love for God is amazingly baffling. I still feel it's her love for God and her prayer life that always moved God to consistently spare our lives.

I am a graduate of bachelor of engineering (Agricultural and Bio-resource Engineering) from the prestigious Ahmadu Bello University Zaria. I almost couldn't graduate after spilling and splashing, before finally graduating with a third class. Though it wasn't completely my fault. I grew up loving biology with all my organs, but not even a cell in me admired maths from a distance. What I saw in agricultural engineering was almost completely mathematics and physics. We were the jacks of all trade, but masters of none ( we offered courses in all the departments of my faculty and even others, but no one offered ours). I always struggled to get an "E" in general maths while in secondary school. I ran away from technical drawing because of my below average score and my physics teacher then was spiritually married to burukutu (locally brewed alcohol), he would hardly complete a period after reeking the whole classroom with disgusting smell from alcohol. Then I mysteriously found myself studying and practising "strength of materials, engineering drawing (E.g sectioning), engineering mathematics and advanced engineering mathematics. That was when I knew I was a billy-goat. I just went there to dig my grave. From thenceforth, I became an escort in that faculty.

Since I was later able to graduate after using carry-over to sew "agbada", "na me come dey like the Engr. title pass everybody" (I'm just trying to fulfill the saying " it's the empty barrels that make the loudest ear damaging noise" it's not my fault now, without people like us, that saying wouldn't be a fact).

I was now waiting for my NYSC, coz I missed the batch A and had to wait till June, for batch B.

I applied for a job in a cyber cafe. After a week, I was called to resume work that will pay me #200 per shift. I didn't hesitate to accept the offer, since I was always idle at home. The only thing I was used to doing, was to sit outside with my friends and be analysing ladies that will pass by. We will sometimes experiment our scoping and toasting prowess on some unsuspecting ladies.

On the Monday I was to resume work at the cafe, I dressed corporately in my suit (I hated corporate wears). After I trekked some few meters, I'd already started panting and sweating like a castrated pig that just saw a ghost. I removed the suit jacket and continued trekking. On arrival, my new boss started barking at me for coming 10mins late. She scanned me with her eyes, then she asked me to go get my credentials I'd submitted earlier, from one of her staff called Jummai. On getting there, I couldn't believe what my eyes saw...

I know you might have come across this. I'm just seeing it, and it baffles me so much.

A serving Corper ( passed through a primary, secondary and a tertiary institution) I was told, wrote these on 2 ballot boxes during the presidential and national Assembly elections.

I initially laughed out loud, but after a while saw the tremendously pathetic state of institutions that will graduate these fellows. After graduation, they are then unleashed to the society. How on earth did they graduate?

One of the ballot boxes carries the inscription " House of Resersatative" while the other box carries " House of Rapes".

Family / What To Avoid When Bringing Up Your Child/children. by Chenzee(m): 1:01pm On Mar 12, 2019
What to avoid when training your children.

1-avoid giving your children everything they ask for, no matter how affluent you are. They'll grow up thinking they have the right to get everything they want.

2-avoid laughing when your children pronounce insulting words, no matter how carefree you are. They'll grow up seeing disrespect as entertainment.

3-avoid being insensitive to bad behaviours they display, without scolding them, no matter how simple you are. They will grow up thinking there are no rules in the society.

4-avoid picking up everything your children mess with, no matter how neat and tidy you are. They will grow up believing that others must take responsibility for their carelessness.

5-avoid letting them follow any program on TV, no matter how happy you want them to be. they'll grow up thinking there's no difference between being a child and being an adult.

6-avoid giving your children all the money they ask for, no matter how rich and generous you are. they'll grow up to become wild spenders and poor managers.

7-avoid always getting on their side when they are wrong against neighbours, peers, teachers, the police, no matter how much you love them. They'll grow up thinking everything they do is correct. They will grow up with the notion that humility is a weakness.

8-avoid leaving them behind when you go to place of worship, no matter how naive and tender you see them (they have the sharpest brain). They will grow up to think worshipping God is either useless or optional.

9. Avoid siding your youngest child (because he is the last born), when he offends the older one. He will grow up to disrespect his older sibling(s).

10. Avoid favouring a child over another. He will grow up with pride, while the other children might grow up with bitterness and hatred towards you and the society.

I hope these tips help our parents and prospective parents, to groom their children into great men and women tomorrow.

UceeGod:


Meditation yields no fruit without the Holy Spirit's inscription of the Word in your heart

Thanks for the insightful contribution... I've indeed learnt a lot...

Every believer is the earthly temple of God (the Holy Spirit). The Holy Spirit resides/dwells inside of us. It's either we allow the Holy Spirit to be active or we suppress Him.

When we allow the Holy Spirit to actively participate in controlling our affairs, He just need to see our intents, and He will help us. When the Holy Spirit is active in us, then scripture meditation automatically becomes fruitful.

But the Holy Ghost, will not miraculously pick scriptures and drop inside of us when we hardly read or study the Bible. We have to make an attempt. These are the steps of incorporating the word into our hearts: Read-study-memorize-meditate-Obey/practice.

UceeGod:
It's better to have the Word written in your heart than on your mind.

When the Word is written in your heart, the Holy Spirit becomes your life Principles

You don't memorize without meditating...When you meditate day and night, it then becomes part of you....It then stays in your heart.
Religion / How Many Bible Verses Have You Memorized??? by Chenzee(m): 1:35pm On Mar 06, 2019
When I was in a discipleship class some years back; we were asked to memorize some scriptural passages. Then some one got up and said, he thought scripture memory was meant for kids in the children Sunday school.

That's a very wrong notion the man above had. I once had that conception. There are numerous importance for scripture memory.

1. The chief reason is: it helps us not to sin against God (Psalm 119:11). Joseph new the word. But he also knew that quoting the scripture won't save him from Potiphar's wife. He did not only run, but he fled.

2. It helps us to fight against the devil.. The devil fears any one who has the knowledge of the word of God. My people perish for lack of knowledge.

3. it gives us the boldness to speak any where, and being ready to answer any one who confronts/challenges us with questions. Read (2 Timothy 2:15)

4. It helps us with the right answers to give the devil when facing temptation. If Jesus was tempted, then no one is above temptation. Mind you, Jesus was tempted more than thrice. Jesus gave all the answers from the scripture, because He is the Word Himself, even though the devil quoted the scripture, but he had no chance with the WORD of GOD (Jesus).

5. Quoting the scripture while praying is much more effective. God honours His word more than His name. If someone meets you, and begs you for money. You may decide not to give, it's not your fault, because you wouldn't have had him in mind. But if you promise to give him the money, and have gone to the extent of writing it in a paper, as an agreement. Once he comes to collect the promised money, you don't have and option than to give, especially when he correctly quotes the promise(s) you've made. He isn't gonna force you to fulfill the promise(s), but you wouldn't be happy if you don't give.
That's exactly how God will feel if you quote His promise (the scripture) correctly, and He doesn't answer you.

Now that you know scripture memory is not only meant for children; what will you do? Coz it will be a shame for your child, kid brother/sister, nephew/niece to memorize and recite many passages, and you don't know any.

I'll come next time to teach us how to memorize the scripture,should we not know how to go by it.

Not really, try something more progressive like if you don't work hard academically you would end up like Buhari which isn't that bad coz he later turned out to be a two time president without as much as a WAEC result.

Family / I Always Came First In Class: Is That A Good Motivation For A Child? by Chenzee(m): 9:49pm On Mar 05, 2019
During my primary school days; my parents, especially my dad always boasted he was the best student in their own time. The only position he ever came in class was first position. Though I later found out that 2 of my friends' dads who happened to be my dad's classmates in school, always came first in class too. It's as if everyone in that class always came first in exams. Some one must be lying...

Any time, anyone of us ( myself and my siblings) comes home after a particular term's examination, with any position apart from first in class, will always receive discouraging remarks from my dad like:" I don't know where you got that brain of yours". "Your mates are taking first position, now see what you've brought". " I am just wasting my money", I always came first in class, etc.

Do you think such negative comments and remarks motivates a child to do well or not?
Romance / Re: Her Iphone Is Worth 200k, Yet She Constantly Begs For Maggi And Onions. by Chenzee(m): 2:21pm On Mar 02, 2019

I said this the other time on another thread that iPhone has helped boost the self esteem of some youths in Nigeria, making them act like egomaniacs. Imagine using an iPhone to claim rich so as to turn someone down but still roam around begging for little things #spits I've come in contact with her type and their mentality reeks of dead cells

Correct my dear....It's so annoyingly disgusting...

Romance / Her Iphone Is Worth 200k, Yet She Constantly Begs For Maggi And Onions. by Chenzee(m): 11:55am On Mar 02, 2019
This friend of mine is simply frustrated and tired of his lady neighbour. He told me that he once asked her out, but she rained insults on him. She said he's too poor to date her. She even showed him her iPhone worth 200k to intimidate him.

But the most hilarious thing is that, she never stopped begging him for petty items like onions, pepper, salt, maggi etc. anytime she wants to cook. She'd always tell him, she buys her things in bulk and so, wouldn't want to start buying in pieces. She continued for over 4 months now.

He met me and asked to help him with the answer to give her when next she comes begging. "Tell her to DOWNLOAD the items with her phone" was my reply.

What will be your reaction?
