During corona period, there was an event that happened to me I won’t forget.
As me may all know It was stated that any one caught without face mask would pay fine of #20,000 and also bus drivers are only allowed to carry only five passengers two at the back, two in the middle and one in front any driver caught with passengers more than that will be fine.
So one faithful day I was called to sabo for an electrical job, I went to bus stop and entered a keke nape, on our way going the driver asked me of my face mask and told me there are security personals on the road arresting those without face mask. I ignored his warning, I arrived sabo without being stopped and I did what I was called for.
I finished early so I decided from sabo I would go to my work place in town. Boarded a bus and got in the front seat, the bus was filled with passengers more than the stated amount, I think we were up to 8 in total as passengers in that bus.
In the bus I also saw few passengers with face mask so I said to my self “at least there are people without face mask as me, I don’t need to panic”
The Journey was moving slowly not until we arrived station round about, I saw security personals checking every bus for those without face mask and buses that are more than five passengers. I said to my self “am dead today” I turned back to see the other passengers, o boy I saw Ninjas! the people that I thought they don’t have face mask wore their own. I was even looking to see if anybody could assists me with any spare one, but to my disappointment no one even looked my direction talk more giving me.
Our turn reached to be checked, I wore a cardigan that had a cap so I put on the cap and bowed my head.
The security personal started checking from the back through the transparent windows and ordered every one to come down, and instructed the driver to follow him. I saw the security personals were more focus on the driver none were at the front because they were busy with other vehicles. As my leg was just stepping out of the car I ran toward the road that lead to narayi that how I escaped them for the moment. While running I saw a bike, I stopped him and climbed to carry me away from there before they start to chase me.
It was when we are going a further after losing the security personals my eyes was cleared and I asked the bike man where he was going? he said “narayi side” I told him I was not going To narayi so he stopped and I dropped and as God will have it I saw a Keke nape going to town and not only that the driver had extra face mask because we are still going to meet those security personals at the station round up.
And that how I arrived my destination without been caught. From that day on ward I carry my face mask anywhere I go even in my dreams.
Did you also had similar experience during corona period?

CRAZY IDEA � part 4
Have you ever had a crazy idea before? Did you execute it?
Back then I don’t know weather to call it play but we did it for fun; we look for capacitors and pour them inside the fire after moment the have been heated the begin to explode and by so making sound and that how we called it “banger”.
Anytime that someone say he want to play banger among our mates on a normal day when it not Christmas season just know they want to put capacitors inside fire.
The person that brought this crazy idea, we have scores to settle because the problem it put me in I will never forget.
One faithful day I went in search of bangers (capacitors) , we normally look for them in electronic shops where the repair televisions, radios or a times we carry condemned electronics at home and remove them. I got lucky that day, I found many bangers (capacitors) and not only that, I saw a very big capacitor! it was very big that when I reached home I went and showed it to my mates and many of them begged me to give them to play it, I refuse I was the one that found it so am the one that will play it.
So that evening when mama Chioma was cooking I decided to play all my bangers, anytime mama Choima is cooking everybody in the compound will know because of the scent of her food.
I went and pour my capacitors inside the fire when mama Chioma went inside, I stood at one corner quickly so I could hear my bangers. The smaller ones began to make sound but I knew the bigger one is yet to make a sound maybe something is wrong or I didn’t put it in the fire well? Not less than a minute the sound I heard sound like a mini bomb �, I ran from there to our room � .
After some moments, I heard noises outside our house, my dad called me out I saw mama Chioma with nearly an empty pot of soup. My dad asked me if I put something inside mama Chioma fire?
I answered yes; before I could complete my sentence I received a hot slap �
Mama Choima began to complain that her husband will soon be back from work and the soup she was preparing was for him and her children to eat. My dad told mama Chioma to go that he will come to see her.
When she went, my dad told me to go inside. Hmmm… that day I knew that cry can also finish, I cried till I couldn’t cry any more .
My dad said I won’t eat for 3 days, because of my experience children stopped playing bangers (capacitors) again.

CRAZY IDEA part 3
Have you ever had a crazy idea before? Did you execute it?
There was this play we always do when we were little called “Moju Moju” in other word “Hide and Seek”. As many we are go to hide in any location we think is safe and the seeker go searching and anyone caught first will become the seeker.
And the way we did ours is compound by compound, we the children host the next compound children in our compound, so also in the next moju moju they will host us in their compound.
So this time around it was in their compound we were going to do the moju moju, the seeker was outside counting seconds in which he can come in to look for us.
I have hidden in many places in their compound; inside big basins, under tables, door posts, cage for dog and fowls. So I began to think of a new location to hide then a crazy idea came and it was to go to their toilet to hide, I had limited time to locate a place to hide so I rushed to hide inside their toilet.
When I entered the toilet it was a fresh shit � (Poo) that was yet to be flushed that welcomed me in, I wanted to go out but it was too late the seeker had began searching so I had to remain inside.
“Which kind dirty person do this wickedness?” (Who is the dirty person that did this wickedness?)
I began to suffocate inside the toilet, I tried every style to endure the awful smell but I can’t come and kill myself . I ran out shouting “dem don see me! dem don see me!! dem don see me!!! (They have seen me! they have seen me!! they have seen me!!!)
Even the seeker was surprised that I came out from my hiding place on my own to be seen.
Hmm… he didn’t know that if I remain there for another minute I won’t come out alive. Since then I never follow any crazy idea to go hiding inside the toilet again.

CRAZY IDEA � PART 2
Have you ever had a crazy idea before? Did you execute it?
There was this boy named Bussan but we mostly call him Smalli because of his stature, he was very small compare to his age. Smalli is a very talented boy but also stubborn, among our mate he can do many exciting stuffs such as back flip, no hand, drawings and not forgetting how he can flex and twist his body.
It was how Smalli flex and twist his bones like rubber was what made him got attention and admiration from people, he can twist and flex his bone to extreme length. Some of our mate nicknamed him rubber boy but many preferred calling him Smalli.
One day I came up with a crazy idea on how Smalli and I can get money from his displays but this time around the inspiration was gotten from the road side on my home, I saw how cripples were given money by people, it was either their hand or leg was twisted. Smalli came to my mind, I have witnessed him twisted his body in such manner and we can fetch money compare to just applaud and hailing he got from people. I told Smalli about my crazy idea and he agreed because of the money involved.
Weekend came; it was the time we agreed to execute our crazy idea. Unlike us who always follow our mates to field to play football but this time around we told them we were going for yawo (in our mind we knew it was yawo to act as beggars)
Because of how small Bussan was, I carried him to the junction to which we will be begging passers by. Smalli had already flexed and twisted his leg to look like a cripple.
After some moments passers by out of pity began to drop money, many even asked question as this;
“Eya, wetin do this fine small pikin ? (Eya, what happened to this handsome little child?)
I always reply them; “Na so dey born am” (it’s how he was given birth)
The plate we took was getting full with different naira notes, Smalli began to whisper to me that he was getting tired, so I carried him and that how we ended our begging for the day so as not to be caught with our pretense.
We made sure we were far enough for Smalli to come back normal, we shared the money earned.
We bought yoghurt and buns and refused to share with our mates who came to beg us that day .
So every weekend we continued our crazy idea, everything was moving ok not until;
One weekend while begging, the only thing I could remember was a question which was “Wetin una dey do here?” (What are you people doing here?).
Before I could utter a word, the next thing was; Fiam! Fiam!! Fiam!!!
Smalli who was suppose to be a cripple was the one running � ahead of me, people at the junction witnessed a miracle that day .
Oh, I forgot to tell you that Smalli's father was a police man . He caught us begging at the junction, I don’t know how he came to that junction probably the posted him there or he came to buy something.
The Koboko he always carries to work was what he used to flog us out of there, we went home straight waiting for our fate because we already knew if we did not die it will be close
The kind of punishment and flogging we got that day eh, even in the dream we won’t try such crazy idea. Many our mates made ridicule of what happpened to us.

CRAZY IDEA PART 1
Have you ever had a crazy idea before? Did you execute it?
I have, years back me and my friend named Bobo had a crazy idea. There is this term known as “Lasa” in Hausa which means to seize somebody stuffs or items forcefully.
So Bobo and I crazy idea was to lasa someone and this how we planned to execute it; we agreed to carve a wooden gun and wrap it with black rubber band so as to compel anyone we meet to give us their stuffs (those who played a lot while they were young will understand and know what am talking about better), so also we agreed to perform our act in the night and anyone who will fall victim will be lasad. Thou our main target are teenagers like us.
The D day for us to embark on our mission, our carved wooden gun was set and furnished to look like a real gun. We already knew the location to position ourselves; it was a zigzag and private pathway in which people hardly pass by known as “longu” it a perfect location to lasa somebody easily and we hoped that at least we could see our mates who might fall victim for us to lasa that day.
We waited for minutes, minutes turned to an hour. Of course few people did pass by but it was either old women or uncles who can beat us if we dare try any nonsense, so we jejely humbled ourselves and stayed low. We were about giving up for the day since no targeted victim came by, suddenly we saw a mature man staggering coming our path mere looking at him it was vivid that he was drunk.
Bobo whispered to me;
“Ada mo lasa this man” (Ada let seize something from this man)
“Bobo you no see say this man be like person father? (Bobo didn’t you see that this man look like somebody’s father?)
“Yes na but he don drink, na the opportunity to collect something from him hand easily. (Yes but he is already drunk, it the opportunity for us to collect something from him easily)
Na true fa, oya mo go sharp sharp before another person come. (It true let go quickly before another person start coming)
Bobo was the one holding the wooden gun, he went to the man and pointed the wooden gun at him;
“Give us your phone and money or I go shoot you!”
“Bobo you see this man like person were get money?” (Bobo do you see this man as someone with money on him?)
“Oya give us your phone or I go shoot you” (give us your phone or I will shoot you)
The next thing we heard was;
“May una shoot me na, I want die shoot! Shoot!! Oya shoot me!!!” (You people should shoot me, I want to die, shoot! Shoot!! Shoot me!!!)
Me and Bobo was surprised
“This man dey very drunk fa, Bobo mo leave am jeje may no be our hand this man go die” (this man is indeed drunk, Bobo let leave him alone it not by our hands he will die)
Before we could take any step the next words we heard from this man was;
“My belle! My belle!! This boy don shoot me o!, See blood! See blood!! (My stomach! My stomach!! This boy has shot me! Look at blood! Look at blood!!)
Aha! Bobo and I began to doubt if it was a wooden gun we took with us, the way the man was screaming ehn, to worsen the matter the man fell down rolling
“Ada mo run leave this man before person come” (Ada let run and leave this man before someone come and meet us here)
“Mo run na” (let run) � �

We thought we had a crazy idea and we met someone who was crazier than us ,
After that incident Bobo and I never tried the crazy idea to lasa someone.

Business is business, there is no free launch in freetown
