'Ah my Lion, you are welcome' Mama Remi welcomed her husband
'My jewel, thank you'
Mama Remi took his briefcase while he closed the door.
After he ate his meal he decided to rest for a while. But after some minutes he stood up.
'Why is everywhere hot like this?' he asked
'That's how it has been for the past 4 days oh' Mama Remi said
'And NEPA will not bring light
'By the way, where is Remi?'
When Mama Remi heard that she hissed and starts laughing. Remi's dad was confused. He could not decide which one to choose between the hiss and the laugh.
'What happened?' he asked sternly
On seeing the way his husband face has changed, she quickly decides to play along.
'She is pregnant'
'Pre... What'
'I said SHE IS PREGNANT'
'How. Why. When. Where?'
'See jamb question oh. Mî ömö' she said hitting one hand on another.
'Where is her now?'
'Ehm... I told her to leave the house oh'
'You did WHAT?'
'I told her to take her things but she refused to take them so I threw them outside for her to pick'
'Why will you do that? You would have waited for me'
'Ehm... Because you are Mike Tyson. Do I not know what's right or wrong?'
'Okay' he said scratching his head 'How did you know she is pregnant?'
'Ah bèni. Am I not a mother?'
'That's not sufficient na. It's not sufficient' he said almost sobbing
'Ehm... I took her urine sample to the local hospital and they confirmed she is pregnant' she said calmly
'Are you sure?' he said while breaking down into sobs. He didn't remember the last time he cried. Remi will become a lawyer he remembered. But her future is ending now.
'I must do something' he said to himself.

'So you are still here abi?' Mama Remi said while coming out of the house.
'Mummy please' Remi pleaded again
'If you don't leave this place I will pour hot water on you, at least I'm boiling some'
Mama Remi walked fast into the kitchen and brought hot water with her. On seeing the steam coming out of the water, Remi 'Ben-Johnsoned'.
'You for wait! Wèrè, Ashewo. Odè.
'See the way she dey run sef. All those yeye boys don spoil you finish'
Mama Remi closed the small gate and barricaded every entrance to the house.
Since that day is Friday, Remi expected her father to come maybe he will help her. Mama Remi on the other hand will like to narrate the useless act of Remi to her husband.
As both of them expected Remi's father came but Remi hoping to avoid any early disagreement or palaver withdrew to the next street.

'Olosho' Mama Remi said as she threw Remi things out of the house
'Mum please' Remi said
'Ah! I didn't give birth to prostitute oh'
'Mummy I'm not pregnant'
'Who said you are pregnant? Olodo. You don have belle'
Mama Remi continues to throw Remi things outside. All of a sudden the bag containing Remi's underwear snaps open and everything inside falls down. Seeing this Remi ran to gather them up and folding them under her shirt.
'gbaa' the sound of the slap echoed from Remi's back
'Ashewo Ooh' Mama Remi said 'Wetin you wan hide again?
'Is it not what all the boys of this street have seen'
'Mum I'm innocent oh' Remi said with tears in her eyes.
'Mum I'm innocent oh' Mama Remi
mimicked Remi mockingly
'I said it! Since she started going with that useless Warri boy to lesson, I know something bad will happen.
'Now she has succeeded in disgracing our family'
'Mama all this things you are saying. Akpors is innocent'
'Why will he not be innocent after the lessons the two of you learnt.
'For your information pack your things and go'

Ade hid as he saw a woman being dragged by a group of robot.
Ade heard a metal voice saying 'Take her to the scourging chamber'
'I've done nothing' the woman said faintly
'Oh you did nothing' one robot said
'Give her grade-2 treatment' another said
'Puny humans' said the first robot 'always lazy, looking for every possible means to make others do the work for them'
Ade watched this episode through the window.
'When will this stop' he thought
'Have you prepared my tea' a voice interrupted his thought
'Yes No... Hmmm'
'Did you prepare it?'
'Yes'
Ade was already shaking. He knew he made the tea but was not sure if he kept it on it's table.
'Human' the robot called
'Sir'
'The tea is too thick, make it lighter'
Looking at the so-called tea on the table, Ade was sick to his stomach. He would have vomited but he knew what he would suffer for it
Thinking about how his father was sentenced to centry because of his refusal to work for the robots, Ade became more afraid. He would have disobeyed them only that he remembered his father's word.
'Ade don't. Someday you are gonna liberate humans from these heartless robot'
Yes, his father was right, robots don't have heart, 'but as for liberating humans' Ade thought 'Only time will tell'
