room089:
Chidubem a 20 year boy ran away to Malaysia. He didn't want to further his academics. He's a fraudster: a yahoo boy. Some of the money he made from the dirty enterprise, he gave to his mother for the family's upkeep.

Is this the same Chidubem that was quarrelling with his twin younger sisters over a piece of meat? Can you catch a yahoo boy dead doing that?


Yahoo boys get levels. Chidubem could be a learner being fed with crumbs by his superiors. The opportunity to travel out reared its head and he jumped on it. And they're very pathetic when broke. The ones that used to stay at the bq of my friends place will come knocking to beg for garri, ata gungun, cold pure water and small small things like that. As at the time they moved away, they were owing neighbourhood traders petty things like N100 recharge card, N70 Pepsi etc. These are boys that would wear blings, diamond encrusted watches and designer clothes and fake yeezys. That was when I knew that the way those boys look is totally different from the way they live.

Not to that extent my dear Bibi. No igbo woman would call her son 'Nna anyi' but 'Nnaa'. Even if the son is the president of the whole world! Remember we are talking about the igbo race not the ewe race!


You are not performing below expectation; keep it up!

* Continues*


Mabel


" Bell, We are home" Tade said, nugging me awake. I blinked my eyes and realized we were already in the Afolabis house. We would have arrived much earlier but our flight was delayed. I was slightly piqued that he referred to the house he grew up in as home. I pushed back the thoughts as quickly as it came. Tade was also an only child and he lost his father to an auto accident at a tender age. It was a surprise to me that he wasn't the clingy mummy's boy kind of man because his mother was all he had while growing up.



" Welcome, welcome" Abosede, a lovely woman in her sixties walked out of the house. She gave me a fierce hug before kissing me on both cheeks." Tade! My boy" she drew him into her arms.


" Mom, its good to see you. You look so beautiful " he said.


" Really?" She said, twirling around with laughter." Where is my beautiful grand child? "


Tade lifted Serwa out of the cab into his arms, his mother stretched out her hands and he transferred the sleeping child to her. He paid the cabbie and we both took our bags into the grand two storey building.


" Mom, where are your other workers?" Tade asked." that security man is a bit old" he said referring to the old man who was manning the gate.


" Oh i fired them all....incompetent fools the whole lot of them. Now i have someone who comes to clean up the house on weekend. I eat out and i also cook occasionally.As for the security man, he's OK"


" Don't you get lonely all by yourself mother in_ law?" I asked."You should move to Ghana"


" My dear, as long as you two make out time to visit me here i will be alright" She said, " by the way, i have redecorated Shewa's bedroom. She will so love the new look of her room "


" Its Serwa" Tade corrected.


" You have started o, what is the difference?" She said, " Oya bring your bags upstairs "


We took our bags into the rooms prepared for us, we both showered and i came downstairs while Tade was still dressing up. My mother in law was setting up the dinner table when i walked in.


" You shouldn't be doing this things on your own. You need a live in maid"


" My dear i had maids and cooks and gardeners but they were just eating my food and impregnating themselves."


I laughed, and started setting out plates on the table. " You should at least get a better and well trained security personnel. "


" Oh i do. Papa love, is very good at his job "


" He's too old,"


" He's young at heart. He's a member of my church. I joined a new church about a year ago and i tell you the experience has been so wonderful. We are one big family there." She said cheerfully." Mabel, i am so happy you are all here, this easter celebration will be the best one ever"

**************

Dupe



" Dupe!" My dad called, " there's someone at the gate.


" OK sir, " i dropped the novel i was reading and walked out of my room." Where is mom?"

" She went to the market "

" Ok"

I went out into the compound and unlocked the gate. He grinned at me before planting a kiss on my lips playfully. I quickly shut the gate behind us.


" What are you doing here? " I asked," my dad is home"


" I came to ask for your hand in marriage " he joked, flashing his set of white teeth.


I tried so hard to be angry at him but that grin melted my heart. He looked so handsome in a loose shirt and pant. " Why are you here?"


" I am sorry. I shouldn't have spoken to you the way i did. " he said.


" It's Alright. You could have called. "


" I wanted to give you this," he handed me a fancy carrier bag " don't i get a kiss?"


" Uche please, my dad is at home"


He sighed heavily, " Alright. I will be on my way now,"

" Bye,"


I watched him walk down the street until i could no longer see him. I took a peek inside the bag and a smile came on my lips. In it was a tiny white teddy bear clutching a single rose to it's chest.

Finally caught up.

Tade is an interesting character but he's too docile to be true and I pity Mabel when she finds out his true nature.

Mama Uche is trying to fit into the sterotype of Patience Ozokwor in nollywood, i hope she doesnt succeed tongue

Dupe and Uche, hmmmmn. *fingers crossed

One thing i noticed is that most of the newly graduated characters are jobless or have been jobless for a spell, it shows the true reflection of unemployment in Nigeria, it was great of you to portray that. On the whole, you're doing a nice job bibi as always wink
