The Link-- a story by Dammy

Alex Osatumpong had came from a average family but his father been a calabar man love women almost more than his life which leads to him having more than 4 wives and each wife bore him children even with this Mr. Osatumpong had many children outside wedlock, though he didnt marry any of his three other wives lawfully except for the first one. Alex had been a very good and brilliant boy but due to his father's nonchalant attitude to his academics was very slow and at age 17 he dropped out of senior secondary school 1. Since alex mother had died during child birth when she was trying to give birth to the 4th child, alex was sent to live with his father's immediate junior brother. ***************** "omo oshi, omo radarada(silly child, useless child),i send am message, him lose my money, my whole fifty naira", bukky explained to her husband, "he must find am o, or else he no go chop for this house", she continued. Bukky is a young normal weight lady of twenty seven years, the wife to alex uncle, "ehn, alex how did you lose the money, if you dont find the money, you wont eat in this house o" chidi added salt to alex's injury, "ah uncle, na those boys for that tarmac snatch am for my hand o, even as i wan collect am, na im one of them slap my face, threaten me with knife o." alex lied, he had use the money to play gamble, when ade his friend and a member of the tarmac convince him, but unfortunately for him, he lost out on the dice game, when he threw a one. "you should have wait for them to cut you with the knife before coming na" chidi replied. Alex then resigned after realising that his food for this night and tomorow morning is surely in mars. The next day, after chidi had gone out, and bukky is still in her bedroom since she was married a full house wife, alex started doing press up in the sitting room, and their apartment is just a room and parlour apartment. Bukky got up from her bed and head to the sitting room only to find alex shirtless, alex is 6 feet tall, with broad shoulders and arguable 4-packs abs, that entice bukky anytime she sees it, " come and her me kill the rat that is disturbing me in the room o." she partially shouted, "person wey never chop since yesterday no fit kill rat o" he answered her, "please, i will cook now, and will give you", he agreed and followed her inside, she then pointed to the cupboard beside the bed "its in there" he turned to asked her where and saw that she was totally unclad, with her two extra-large twins towers dangling like a pendulum bob, and the two dark n1pples, pointing at him, he blinked twice, pinched himself trying to wake himself from this dream, cos its too real to be true, he has always fantasice squeezing the twin tower of bukky, and here is a real chance to do it. "are you going to stand there all day?", her voice but through his thought, they got to work and he first went to squeeze the twin tower, and he also discarded all of his clothing, immediately he got on her and started penetrating, after few minutes, chidi barged in.

*did i say barge in, i meant chidi came in.* . . . Few minutes later, Chidi opened the door, bukky saw him immediately because the bed is facing the door, and she started feigning a act of molestation against her, unknow to alex, he pinned her hand to the bed, and continue the to and fro movement. "egbami o, ofe pa mi o, o molestation mi ni o. (help me, he wants to kill me, he is rapping me o.) alex was dumbfounded, he then saw a shadow forming in front of him, he jumped off bukky and off the bed, that single action saved his head from the big stick chidi was about to break his head with, bukky has already formed a stream of tears from her eyes, explaining to her husband how alex had succeeded in rapping her, but alex wasn't around to counter attack her, cos he has fled the apartment, and chidi accepted all what his wife told him without objections like someone that is being controlled by a remote. . . . **************** "wetin do you wey you hang your head for your hands like person wey them don pronounce death sentence for" ibrahim, alex best friend in the neighbourhood ask him that evening, ibrahim, a 5feet 9inch tall, slim guy with muscles like that of sin cara of WWE was clad in a brown round neck T-shirt over a tired quarters black pants, alex looked up to his friend and said "bukky don kill me o", "bukky kill you, and you still dey here dey follow me talk?" ibrahim answered while picking sand from the floor to pour on him, "ta, no be that talk jor, wetin you wan do?" alex asked, "na sand i wan pour you make you vanish back na, as you talk say bukky don kill you"ibro answered "my guy, tell me wetin happen" he continued while dusting the pavemen beside alex so that he can sit there, alex narrated his condition to him and ibro asked "how you take know say na she tell chidi say na molestation you molestation am?" "i wan go back to the house, na im i con see kunle our neighbour way talk say make i no go back o, say even chidi still dey find me wan break my head" alex answered sorrowfully " where go con stay now now na?" ibro said with concern "abi you go join us for tarmac and you go dey sleep for our house?" he continued "my guy, a berger no dey get choice o, even the boys go happy to see me for there" alex said. They both rose up to leave and they started walking toward the route to the tarmac. . . They arrived at the tarmac after walking some 15 minutes, and met some boys and the chairman of the tarmac there, the chairman is very approachable and he housed all boys in his house and the guys sleep in the same room. "ehn, olori oko bam bam, owo meji fun enikan,(the big chairman, two hand for one person) the one that talks and noone counter attack" alex hailed him, "lexo, wa gbayi, what happen, what are you looking for in our tarmac today after we don chop your money yesterday." "haba, chairman, shey i no fit come here again ni?" "no, you are welcome na, i just wan know mayb you carry money come, wey my boys go fit chop today." "oga na big wahala dey him head o" ibro interjected. "lexo, wetin do you" chairman asked with concern "chairman, bukky and chidi don pursue me commot for house o" "you mean say bukky eru aya (load of the chest=big bosoms ) and ur uncle don pursue for house?" "yes o, i no con get anywhere to stay" "lexo, you know say you be my boy, wetin you want make i do?" "I come ask he i fit stay ur side o" "that one na small thing na- you fit come our side con sleep na"chairman said and continued facing the other guys that are just three in number "where ibro go?" "im dey there, im go collect money from that danfo wey wan load for there" (danfo no be german language o, its a special kinda 16-passenger bus that is used mainly in lagos that is mostly coloured yellow), ajayi, that is always called jade answered, "ehn, lexo go join you guys for here" "make i quick go our meeting jawe" he said "tell ibro say i don waka" he yelled as was goin . . ********** "with all the epistle you just said, you still haven't answered my question o." tunji cut him short, "what really are you in for" he continued, the other two inmates laughed out loud , "ehn, thats where am going" alex countered, "i know, but tell me what you are in for first" tunji further probed "robbery and murder" alex whispered, tunji was shocked, as he wonder how this small boy don rob people and even murder someone or people "why you con dey whisper? Shey na the police you no want make them hear you ni or we wey dey inside the cell with you?" one of the other two inmates asked a rhetoric question. "oya continue your epistle, but fast forward am" tunji finally said after overcoming his shock

"food dey this house so?" ade asked as he was entering the room that housed him and four other occupants, it was a hard time for the boys as the governor has cancelled all tarmac in the state, and how they have been eating, (d writer sef no know). "shey the food wey your papa buy keep for here abi?" ibro answered him with a question which is typical of a good Nigerian citizen. "no mind am, him just wan make you vex ni jawe" jade told ibro trying to calm him. "wetin dey do this one, who you dey vex for, abeg park well jor" ade replied him in a brotherly manner, before ibro can say anything, ade pulled out #500 from his back pocket and point it to them, "oya take make una go arrange food make we chop". Immediately, lexo that has been so quiet and silent both in words and action sprang up like a spring suppressed since 1881 and grab the money like a mad hungry guy he was then stormed out of the room to do the arrangement all in the speed of light, "but ade, i asked you shey you get money this morning before you commot 4 this place na, and you talk say you no get money" chairman asked ade after lexo had left and he had got over his shock. "ehn, money no dey my hand that time na" ade replied "where ds money con come from?" chairman asked again "na....... Na....... ehn .......m" ade stammered "ade my guy, we sef don dey find job wey we wan to or business we go engage in wey go dey bring money to our pockets and the money sef go dey enter house na" chairman said understanding that he was reluctant to say it out "na toothpick business o" ade opened up to them, toothpick business is not the buying and selling of toothpick or those tiny sticks o, but its d searching and empting of unsuspecting people pockets and purse sometimes it is the grabbing and passing around of innocent people properties for proper keeping . "for where you dey do that one?" jade asked " na 4 every where o." ade answered "but that business risky na" chairman said. Lexo came in with five plates filled with indomie and eggs that mere looking at it you wud know that he has done toothpick business before coming up with it. "lexo, na just five card you take prepare all this tin wey i dey see for plate?" ade asked suprisingly " na, somehow somehow o." lexo replied. The four of them shared a look but lexo saw it and said " person fit no see another one chop today or tomorow o. Na im make me carry small indomie noodlles join the small wey i buy o" lexo explain "you sef don dey work be that o. " ibro said "which kin work?" lexo asked while the other laughed loudly and lexo was looking like they have sold him already. "ade talk say na toothpick business make am get small money for hand and we dey think say make we join am but we still dey think am, so as you don dey do the business small small so, na to join make business grow e remain?" chairman poured out. "kai, me sef get that kind thought before o, but i be dey fear say make you no go pursue me commot for house na." lexo confessed. To be continued.

"mehn, within two weeks i don make twenty grands(thousand), guys make we expand our ministry na." lexo said while counting the amount he had made since they started the toothpick business excluding the money he contributed for food. "what do you mean" ibro asked, "shey you carry brain for that your head at all?" ade asked a scarstic question, "i dey talk say make we they use instrument for our business" (instruments here is not the piano or guitar you use in church o, neither is it the ones doctors use but its the instrument used by small scale armed robbers, the instruments are guns,cutlass, A-K's etc) lexo answered ibro's question. "you mean make we turn am to big time robbery?" chairman asked, "that one too much na, police fit catch us or make them kill us " jade contributed, "wetin dey do you wey you always dey dear sef? Na lexo suppose to dey dear like this because na him young pass for all of us" ade shouted at jade "make una stop dey shout jor, since almost all of you don agree say make we expand our coast as the bible take talk am. We go expand am" chairman declared, since he was the chairman of their fallen tarmac, and he is the one that house them all, he has am unwritten authority and the boys obey his every command. "but if we wan dey use instruments, how we go take get am?" ibro asked "that one easy na, we go just contribute small money, and i go arrange the guns" ade replied him. "abeg we don finish that one, na food e remain make i chop" *********** THREE MONTHS LATER "i got an information that the manager of yemco group of company in michael crescent just collected the pension money of its old men, but he refuse distributing them to the pensioners." chairman said to his boys in a well furnished two bedroom apartment painted green wid the picture of Goodluck Jonathan the chief of staff and commander of the army of the federal republic of Nigeria largely place above the 32-inch plasma television that was showing a match between chelsea and arsenal with chelsea winning 8 goals to nothing . The boys were seated in three couch with ade and lexo at the right side of chairman, ibro and jade sat at the left side. "that man no wan pay the pensioners abi?" ade asked "what is our mission and when do we strike?" lexo asked business-like (dont be suprised all of them understands english but pidgin hugged them like second skin) "this mission is very urgent, we strike today"chairman answered " jade and ibro why are you guys not talking?" ade asked while 'na this kin people let my papa die o, when the manager of the place wey him dey work no pay am four years due pension, the man just die cos of stroke, na this same person wey no pay my papa make me dey thief now o.' ibro thought. "we dey wait for our own work na" jade answered ade "and here is the plan of the house, we enter the house through the main gate, lexo you know what to do," chairman explained and lexo nodded, "after entering............." **************** "oga, pls you know where vicky road dey for here" lexo asked the gateman of Number 3 house in Dammey lane in ajaokuta which happen to be where Mr. Attai, the manager of yemco group of company stays. The others where in front the walls beside the gate and the gate was a black one that has space in between "na that corner e dey" the gateman answered without leaving his position, "oga, i no know where that place dey na, please direct me wella" lexo try his luck again "just go there and the next junction na vicky road" the gateman answered by using his hands to direct him without leaving his spot. Lexo decided to use his last luck. "owkay oga, thank You, help me manage this small money," lexo said pointing a #1000 naira note. The money served as a magnet that drew the man to him, "thank You bros" the gateman answered as he drew out his hand to take the money, but lexo drew a A-K 18 gun at him while the others did same and they ordered him to open the gate which he did with shaking hands. As they entered they carried the gateman and tied him to his chair and they drove the sky blue plate number less chairman's car in. They faced the house and started walking in.

"Please, let me go and i wont even disturb you" the gateman struggled with the rope he was tied with "you" chairman said pointing at jade "tape that man mouth and stay with him" jade walked towards the gateman while the man started struggling again, he tried getting the plate number of the car that the thieves drove in, but he saw that the plate number was ABOUT TO WED, then he gave up the struggle and lie still. Then the four of them walked towards the building in equal strides. Lexo knocked at the door, "who is that" Mrs attai said coming out of the kitchen with a napkin in her hands "am coming, hold on" she said, with a frown on her face "who is that person that can't sleep in his or her house that is disturbing my peace at this ungodly hour she thought looking at the the wall clock hanging at the top of the entrance door "can't you help me check who is at the door?" she asked her husband that was so engrossed in the 9 o'clock AIT news that was showing on his 32-inch LCD television that hanged comfortably on the wall, Mr. Attai was sitting on the brown couch that was place adjacent to the kitchen door, "go and check it your self am busy here, am sure its the mechanic working on my honda jeep that wants to tell me he has finished working on it" he said without taking his eyes from the television screen "tell him to see me in the office tomorow" he continued "mtcheww" she hissed while walking to the door. "who are looking for please" she asked the four-man committee that stood at the door with uneasiness written all over her face "we are here to see Mr Attai, we have am appointment with him" lexo said with sweet voice, he was chosen to talk because he had the softest voice among then all but it took great effort from him to pull out such a sweet voice from his own mouth, "oh" she relaxed when she heard the sweet voice, but was slightly alarmed cos she had warned her husband not to do meetings in the house especially at ungodly hours after the last meeting he did with his board some dey weeks back which they finished at 11pm, but since she didn't want to disgrace her husband in front of any visitor, she opened the door wider so they can come in, "honey, you didn't tell me you have an appointment in the house this night" she said lovely so her husband can hear from his sitting position, immediately Mr attai heard that his mind quickly did a usain-bolt-like running through all things he did that day and immediately he remembered the pension money he brought home, he half fainted and half died, getting to heaven, angel gabriel pursued him with the speed of light back to earth, and he woke up to face his august visitors. "ehn....... Ehn... I can't .. . can't remember your face o." he said picking from the hair on his head to the sole of his feet. "i know you recognise our face because this is not our face we are simply wearing a mask" chairman said with a wicked smile stamped on it face for a second and continued "but am certainly sure that you must remember the look and feel of this" bringing out his gun immediately she saw the gun she fell down flat on her tummy speaking all the language she knows and the ones she know nothing of from swahili to german to spanish just that she is damaging the languages. "ah, bros i recognise am wella, even, na my oga at the top be that" Mr Attai said with sweats breaking free from the pores cos they want to watch the show "the weather experts are sure that rainfall is going to increase this year, so please desist from throwing dirt into gutters and drainage" the newscaster said ignorant of whats happening to his admirer that refuse to leave his seat as soon as she (newscaster) came on stage, " well, i am not here for formalty, neither am i here for reunion, am here for the pension money you brought into this house today" chairman went straight to business, "bros, i no craze, i no fit bring money come house na" he said forgetting that english is Nigeria's official language , "why you no dey bring money come house?" lexo asked and immediately added "abi, you no wan make we chop?" going down to pidgin with him. "no, you go chop belle full, my wife dey cook soup for kitchen" he answered stupidly, "we are not here for food, just get us the money" chairman quickly replied him before lexo answer cos he know lexo loves food pass his life "where you husband keep the money" ade asked Mrs Attai while slapping her big buttocks "i dont know o, i don't know" she answered still shaking i must kill this man today, i must use him as atonement to my father that died as a result me people like him that keeps pension money ibro thought "allow me shoot his big head jor" ibro shouted at Mr Attai bring the gun in contact with his head "no shoot me, i get the money inside room" TO BE CONTINUED

"ehn ehn, you get money for house?, na im you con dey give us wahala since money abi? I don talk say make i waste this man brain" ibro asked with bitterness written all over his face as he pressed the gun on Mr. Attai's big head "na the baba at the top wey i dey serve go punish you for wasting our time o" ade added frustratedly, "tell your husband to give us the money na," lexo asked Mrs. Attai with his hands placed on her big buttocks as she bending and her knee was touching the ground with her buttocks pointing upward i dont know why i like big things o, and if chairman did not follow us now, it will be easy to enjoy is big Bottom woman o. This Bottom succulent die if thought to himself "easy guys, we still need his brain so that he can remember where he kept the money we came for" chairman tried to calm his boys while he went to seat at a close sofa "where did you keep the money?" chairman asked, chairman seems like the only one acting all business-like maybe it was because he had suffer before being made the chairman of the tarmac, his life story is a story of sufferness, he had lost his dad and mum at a very tender age of 5, he had to stay with his aged grandmum, who also died before he saw 12 years on planet earth, he had to struggle to provide for himself by doing petty jobs like cutting woods from the forest and carrying it to the market to sell, by helping people to carry their wares from point of selling to their cars or public cars for a token to other small petty jobs just to survive. He end up being a tout in one of the markets and he rose among the ranks to become a tarmac chairman until the Government put him back to square one. Back to story. "Where is the money" chairman asked again but this time in an angry tone " its in my bedroom, let me go and bring it for you" Mr. Attai said trying to stand up, "and what are trying to do?" chairman asked standing up from his position, "i want to stand up so i can bring the money for you ni" he said "oh, eeya, very kind of you, but lets treat you like a king you are in you house" chairman replied him going back to his seat "you and you, carry him up and follow him to bring the money" chairman continued pointing to lexo and ade which kind winch be this chairman sef, e just stop my touching adventure lexo thought to himself when ibro heard that he was not called to follow Mr. Attai in, he gave a silent grunt and anger flushed his whole personalty. this man should at given me the go ahead, so that i can kill him in that room and say he refuse given us the money, well i must still kill am noni "oya move, and dont try to play van damme cos you might end with no head" ade called behind him. . . IN THE ROOM "where they money jor?" lexo asked and slapped his head, "e dey under bed" he answered but still stood at the same spot still afraid that he was going to part ways with the money "make i go bring am my self?" lexo asked again. With that Mr. Attai bent under the bed to reach for the money "so na this bed you take dey yansh that fine woman abi?" lexo asked rhetorically Mr. Attai withdrew from the bed under while dragging a ghana must go bag, he successfully dragged it out and said nothing with his face carrying the ugliest scowl that should get into the Guiness Book of World Record. "oya, move to the sitting room jor" ade said pushing him toward the sitting room. Two minutes later Mr. Attai was pushed into the sitting room by ade while lexo carried a ghana must go bag with him while he was grinning from ear to ear as the money he saw in the bag would be up to fifty million if carefully counted and that alone can make a grown up man turn to a day old baby. "Thank you sir for your small cooperation, we hope you enjoyed our business transaction we are looking forward doing more business with you " chairman said smiling for the first time that night cos at least the operation is about to finish because he was sure there is no obstacle lying outside, if there is, jade would have alerted them on the walkie talkie with him. As they were going with ade at the front and lexo with the ghana must go behind him, and chairman following closely, they heard a gunshot from behind then and before they could look back they heard three more shots.

They looked back to see Mr and Mrs Attai in a pool of their own blood and smoke coming out of ibro's gun. Mixture of confusion and shock flushed their face while tension and fear tower in the face of the gateman and his supposed bodyguard. "why did you kill them? They did nothing wrong na, they cooperated with us well" chairman said with confusion still in his face "did they try to attack us?" he continued moving closer to them but he saw that they are still in the position they left them expect that now Mrs Attai is lying down on her face with a hole at the back of her head that is gushing blood like a fountain and another blood stained back Mr. Attai sitting at the foot of the sofa resting his back on sofa with a bullet hole in front of his head and blood on the right part of his chest indicating he was shot there too. "why you shoot them na" lexo shouted and dropped the bag as he walked towards ibro and pushed him on the chest visibly showing that he was grieving his beloved big Bottom woman. "can't you guys think?, they saw our face, they might tell the police and we might be arrested" ibro tried to explain since he didnt want to tell them his real reason. "but we don tell them say we wear masks na" ade said "lets not argue here, the neighbour might have heard the shots and alarmed the police, lexo carry the bag and lets get out of here" as he didn't want then to waste time but he also didn't buy into the idea of showing their face because they had agree that they wont be using masks so as to gain easy entrance into the house without shedding too much blood thats if any blood will be shed and he(ibro) had agree without any arguement why he changed his mind he must definately explain but not here . . AT THE BACK OF THE HOUSE "yepa, why i no come do this car yesterday wey i go dey drink beer for sam house" the mechanic that was repairing Mr. Attai's murano jeep in the garage that was situated at the back of the house which is not visible to people in front of the house. He was talking to himself under the car that he hid himself when he heard the sounds of the gunshot so close that he felt it was just outside the garage or beside him the gun had gone off. how will my mum and wife feel when they hear say i don die?, she will defintely die of heart attack, abi when did she lose her husband sef, no be last year october?, God save me out of this o. Na my gluttoness brought me this problem o were the thought that occupied him that made him not to know when his bladder failed its job of holding urine and gave way for hot urine that describe the degree of hotness of both his internal and external body. "chai, na so i piss for body." he said. . . OUTSIDE "na wetin i dey happen for inside?" the gateman asked jade that sat opposite him which made jade remember that they had forget to tape his mouth while he was occupied with his own thought as he wondered who shot who. "you still get mouth to talk abi?" he asked the gateman as he went to the car to get the cellotape. "i no go talk again abeg" the gateman begged him as he saw the cellotape with him. Jade tapped the gateman mouth whilst struggling with him. He went to sit down on the bench in front of him so that he can watch him. Few minutes after he sat down, he saw ade coming followed closely by lexo and then ibro with chairman at the back. "wetin happen for inside na?" he asked as he stood up, "Who shoot who na? Make una answer me na" he asked again as noone answered him "you sef go inside and check yourself " ade replied him "guy open door make we dey go, we go dey explain everything for house" ade opened the driver's door and got in, he pressed the booth button so that lexo can drop it in there while jade went to open the gate and they all got and ade reversed the car in the right direction and swerved the car out in the left direction. As they were going out ibro rolled down the glass and shot the gateman twice. Everybody including the chairman looked at him with the eyes that can kill and jade asked "why you kill that man now?" as it occured to him that ibro had been the one who had shot someone inside the house. . . To be Continued.

[b]AFTER TWO MONTHS[/b] "Kpooaa" "kpooaa" the sounds of gun as they release bullets into the bodies of the unsuspecting unarmed security officials that were guarding The Peoples First Community Bank that was situated at No 56 Oko Oba Road, Agege, Lagos. With the sounds of the gunshots the market that was just starting the work activities of the day at ten o' clock on a thursday because of the goverment policies that all markets must observe a compulsory environment sanitation, the mini market quickly became as quiet as the grave yard. Inside the bank, the workers that were all in the banking hall are seen removing their badges and their coats so that the coming robbers wont identify them as workers. The gang of robbers quickly stick the explosives they had brought with them into wall that holds the electric door and "gboooaaaa" it exploded bringing the walls around the door all down, making the door very easy to push down, they shot security in the leg and started shooting into the air sporadically, all four of them enter the bank with three of them running into it while chairman walked like a boss he was jade as been told to study the environment very well for more than one week, he had find and know all escaping route in case the police try to pursue them while they are going. Inside the bank, chairman was giving orders "everybody lie down flat, i dont need to see any body's face or eyes " he ordered with authority as everyone lie low. Their faces was hugged tight with black cotton made masks with dark shades blocking their eyes and same material gloves giving them another fingerprint . *********** . THIRTY MINUTES BEFORE 10A.M " Hello DPO, i will be needing some of your boys to escort some money out of the bank this money." the manager of PFCB, A fast rising bank that most trader of the mini Oko Oba market that is just six blocks away from the bank keeps their daily money. A bank that uses most of GTB'S (Guarantee Trust Bank) policies like building their banking structures in an unfenced compound said into the mouth piece of his phone that was pressed to his chin, "when do you need them?" the DPO voice ranged from the far piece of the manager's phone, "i need them between now and 10 this morning" the manager answered him "owkay, i will get to the office within the next fifteen minutes and will arrange the boys for you, expect them in the next twenty-five minutes " the DPO said while driving his officiall police car that looks like the police patrol van. "owkay, i will be expecting them, hope they know where they will enter through?" the manager asked, "you know we dont want to disturb our customers" the manager continued "i understand all your policies" DPO answered maneuvering his car to the right. "they will strictly adhere to it" he added, after saying that he pressed the red button among the keypads of his nokia c3 phone and removed the ear piece he used in answering his call. Twenty six minutes later, a police armoured tank and two patrol vans filled with police stopped and parked in a small compound at the back of the bank and police jumped out as if they are ready for war. They marched out of the compound into the back of the bank through the small gates while two policemen stopped at d gates more policemen stopped at many point before getting to the stairs that connects the manager's office with the back of the bank, four senior sergents went up to the managers office to collect the parcel. They were still in the manager's office when they heard the sounds of gun very close by, before they could think or draw up conclusions they heard another sound that sounds like a bomb. Then their walkie talkie sounded, "sir, what is happening there?" one of the sergents carried the radio and waited for the beep before talking back into the radio "we dont know yet, but it seems like there is a robbery going on right here" he pressed the button at the right side of the radio, "i will send one of the boys to check it out, and will give you a reply immediately i get it" the reciever said into the radio "do that and be quick about it, give him a radio with him, i want the information first hand" the senior sergent said. There was little silent from the other side but not for long as a voice rang from the radio "sir, the robbery is happening in this bank sir, they are at the hall" "owkay, boys get prepared, try get to all the exit to the hall and wait for my directives. .

" Sir, there is a robbery going on at the bank you sent us" the sergent, olamide said into his radio, he had connect the DPO as soon has he had given the other police around the around the bank orders, the three other sergents that went to the manager's office with olamide had all gone down the stairs through another stairs different from the one they had used when coming. This stairs was the one that linked the manager's office to the banking hall. He ( Olamide ) was on the stairs. "What!" the DPO exclaimed, "what really happened" " we have no idea sir, but we just heard some gunshot and a blast, so we decided to check it up, all i can say now is that there is a robbery operation going on here" olamide replied the DPO while stopping on the stairs because he was half way already "can you hold them?" The DPO asked again "we can hold for now, but i dont know how many robbers they are" Olamide answered and continued " we need backup sir" " owkay, tell your boys to try and hold them, i will send in backup now," he said and he hanged up. Olamide walked swiftly but silently, when he got to the base of the stairs he saw a half closed door, and he opened it cautiously, not knowing what lies behind the door, when he opened the door, he he met the three policemen that left him earlier, "what is the situation outside there" he asked them with a steady voice, "i think you need to see it yourself" one of them answered him. . . Meanwhile, in the banking hall. . When chairman entered he gave am order that everybody should lie down flat, lexo and ade both picked up a dustbin and poured the content away as papers flew out of the dustbin, "everybody drop your phones, jewelry, and money in basket that will soon be with you now" chairman ordered again. Lexo went to the end of the bank and started collecting their properties while ade did the same at other end, the security man that was shot at the leg had managed to crawl abit towards the small passage that leads to the manager's office. "owkay, there are four guys in there" olamide said to the policemen with him while checking his pistol if there are enough bullets in the cartridge, after confirming that he still had enough, he picked his radio and pressed the button at the left side and said into it " are the guys in position" he pressed the button again " yes, they are in position, four guys at two doors each" the radio responded, "that good, you will respond immediately you hear a shot" he said again. Then he peeped through the key hole and saw that one of the robbers is coming at a security man that was crawling. Ibro saw the security he shot crawling and he thought he was crawling away, and he went to him, pick him up by the hand and if turned him around facing the hall and backing the door since he thought it was only a door to the toilet, he gripped his neck with his bro and tightened it, the security man groaned in pain then he asked him "where is the manager's" but before he finished his question he felt cold iron sinked inside his head, he lost his grip and the security fell down and rolled from him then another bullet buried itself inside his back as soon as it left olamide's gun, "everybody lie down flat" olamide shouted as more bullet fled from his gun, the robbers faced olamide's door and started shooting at it but olamide had shut the door before the first bullet got to him, lexo who was standing close to chairman both moved closer to the counter, the other doors flung opened and the policemen behind it shot at the robbers, some bullets entered into ade's system. Lexo and chairman both flew to the back of the counter and started shooting at the police, some policemen got hit, "chairman, what are we going to do now?" lexo asked him "we should just stand up and let them shoot us, silly" chairman retorted, "ehn" "ehn, we shoot our way through" chairman replied him with a sad tone.

" we shoot our way out through" chairman replied him with a sad tone " you mean we have to shoot them?, or we die?" lexo asked again but with fear all over his person. "anything we can do, lexo" chairman replied him with a tone that tells lexo that the end of the road is already upon them. Lexo then crawled to the other counter end of the counter where there is no police cos there are no door except the entrance door which was still very far away from where he is, if he ever thought of running he would be shot down before taking one step. He got to the edge and saw ade coming towards the banking hall with his gun in his hands taking easy strides, looking farther from him he saw a police car driving in. "ade in trouble" he whispered to himself. . SOME MOMENT AGO Jade was seen in the car waiting impatiently for the gang to come out, he wanted to go and check them himself but warnings earlier from chairman that he must stay in the car throughout the duration of the operation kept him in the driver's seat, he heard gun shots coming from the insides of the bank, shaking his head he said to himself. "there guys are killing too much people. Am sure that ibro is taking over" he stayed put in the car but couldn't endure it anymore after sitting for more minutes with more and more gun shots ringing in the air like war already playing out, "they are taking too long o." he said to himself again impatiently "the shots coming from this bank is coming from more than four guns o" he continued talking to himself "i should check it out myself" he thought as he stepped out of the car they had drove in, he say that the road is empty "who wan die?" he said to himself chuckling, he remembered the day chairman told them not to speak pidgin english anytime they were operating, he claimed their victims will take them as local champion "who take big guns as local champion?" he continued while taking calculated strides towards the bank. As he moved closer to the entrance of the bank, he saw a figure that can be describe as lexo dodging behind the counter, then he knew there was a huge problem, he decided to run back to the car and speed away but unfortunately for him the police van had already blocked the car and the police saw the gun with him, and they deposited a couple of bullets in his brain, lexo saw this and tried to crawl back to chairman place but saw chairman in the pool of his own blood, "what had happened" he asked noone but himself. " anyone else there should surrender his arms now or risk being killed too, they whole building has been surrounded by the police " olamide shouted as more police came in from the out side, lexo quickly thought about the choice and he weighed his chances,would he would prefer living but locked in the cell or being dead? He choosed the later, its better than being caught, he wanted to shoot but something in him told him to check his gun for bullets but was shocked that his bullet compartment was so empty. " Oh my God, why today?" he thought "do you think you can escape it even if your gun is filled up with bullets?" a part of him said and advised "you had beta surrender your weapon". He threw his gun over the counter and put his hands up so that everyone can see before standing up, the police men quickly handcuffed him and led him away before the mob recovered themselves, . . *****¤*****¤** "so, you were caught while robbing a bank?" Tunji asked with astonishment "mehn, na you be the boss, you don chop money while it lasted." one the two other prisoners named Jakes said excitedly to be continued.

Continuation. ************ " Wetin you mean by that?", " "How e take be boss? Stealing be boss?" Tunji asked Jakes bewildered, " Bros, abeg bone that side jor, you fit achieve am? The guy don chop life while he could na" Jakes fired back, " I can't steal and i no go ever steal for my life, na even people like Lexo carry me reach here" he said while his face filled instantly with emotions, "bros, wetin you mean?" Lexo asked with concern, "I was accused falsely of what I did not do, i was accused of killing a couple and robbing them" Tunji said "hmmm, no dey form macho for us for here o because if you no do anything, how come you dey here with us" Joe, the other criminal that was in the cell with them spoke out. "abi o, help me tell am o" Jakes added, "its not every one you see in the police cell or prison yard are guilty of the offense they are charged for, some are just unfortunate to be at the wrong place in the wrong time even when they are still doing the right thing" Tunji lectured, Joe tried to tell his own story "abegi, me wey I dey here, I be confirm yahoo guy, I enjoy yahoo sotey, I even buy range rover after buying a SUV, but still no commot for the room and parlour I dey live cos na there I put my jazz, but as we take know na, police dey always dey disturb me, and I dey give them money wella, so they just leave me alone, make I dey do my work, them even dey hail me whenever I pass their side, but now yahoo business no dey work again, even the jazz wey baba tombolo give me no gree work again, but police no wan hear am, them still dey come collect their money," his face change from the excited one to the depressed type "money con scarce till i sell the two car, but condition no change, even to chop sef, e con dey difficult, na then I con meet this my friend" he said pointing to Jakes "we don know each other since primary school days, na from there we con click, we join hand dey work for politicians, those politicians dey always do us well, them go pay us after every job we do, but we no know say them go leave us if we enter palava" "police catch us the day we went to steal ballot box, we tried contacting them, but none of them came to assist us, thats why you see us for here" Joe explained " range rover and SUV?" Lexo exclaimed, "so if we wey dey do crime wella wella can still avoid being here, how wil someone that has done no crime be here?" Joe continued ignoring lexo's statement " maybe when you hear my story you will understand what i am talking about." Tunji said, "so, you have a story that you think can convince me?" Joe replied and asked him. "yeah." Tunji answered. " Lets hear it".

[center] ********* [/center] Olatunji Fasasi was the only child of his family, his father. His father, Mr. Ifakunle Fasasi was a local welder, he worked with Danko steels, which was situated in his village, he managed to get the job because the king of his village had recommended him to the owner of the company, he worked hard but his little earnings was spent at the famous palm wine seller in the village, he was a seasoned drunkard, he had little plans for his son other than teaching him in his line of profession, which he planned to do at his later life, but Olatunji's mother, Mrs. Fasasi valued education but unfortunately for her, she couldn't proceed beyond primary school because there was nobody to sponsor her, her family was a family that believed and followed the popular saying "female education ends in the kitchen" to the letter, she was pained and frustrated when her father had told her the she can't continue her education because he won't sponsor her "i can't waste my money on fruitless things like your education Ifafunke" he had said coldly to her. That alone was enough to make shed uncontrollable tears, she had vowed amidst tears that even if she can't go to school, all of her children must be graduates, but faith dealt her a huge blow as she didn't give birth to more than one male child. Nevertheless, she cherished and loved him wholeheartedly. She was all responsible for seeing him through primary school cos his father didn't care about his education " mi o kawe, ṣugbọn mo nṣiṣẹ mo sin jeun, ọmọ mi o ni kawe, a ṣi ma jeun" (i had no education, yet i work and eat. So also will my son live and eat without education)" he will always say each time Mrs. Fasasi ask him for Olatunji's school fees or anything concerning his education. Though he never fail in his part of providing food and shelter for his family. Life dealt Mrs. Fasasi another huge blow on a cold thursday. It had been the last day of the month and also a pay day for Mr. Fasasi, he collected his salary and headed to his cool spot, the palmlove palace, the famous palmwine place, where he settled down with his friends and he drank himself to stupor, yet he won't stop, and the seller there won't stop him, yet she encouraged him to drink more, after many rounds of vomiting, he began his journey home with his staggering legs and jaw- slacking mouth spewing nonsense, he got to the road that leads to his house and the road became extra large in his drunken-eyes " did .... they .. enlarge this road today?" he asked himself amidst belching, he walked staggerly into the road but he was knocked down by an hit and run driver because immediately he realised that he had hit someone, he reversed his car and sped away leaving the unconscious man in a pool of his own blood. She was at home, she was sitting on a bench outside her house, she just sent her son to go and check if his father is at his usual place. She woke him up very early that morning, " Tunji, pls get up, go and wash your face and go to palmlove palace" she said to her twelve years old son that was in jss (junior secondary school)2. "for what na?" he asked her as he was rubbing his sleeply eyes with the back of his palm. "go and check your father there, he isn't back since yesterday" she snapped at him which made the little sleep in his eyes run off in fear, his mother believed in the adage "spare the rod, spoil the child" judiciously so, she doesn't hesistate to beat him whenever he does any wrong thing. Tunji sprang up, and ran outside. That was five minutes ago. But now sitting on the bench has become unbearable. Why is this man doing like this? Where is he now? I hope he is in the palmwine seller place o were all the thought that accompany her on the bench before a loud cry jolted her from her sit, she saw her son running towards the house as loud wails escaped his lungs, she was extremely alerted. "whats happening?" she asked her self before pushing towards his son's side. As she got there, she bent to his size to ask him what happened but he just fell into her arms still crying and wailing aloud. "what happened?" she managed to ask still wondering why the boy was crying and picking her head to reject wat her mind was telling her. Is my husband dead or why is he crying? Was the only thought that was in her head which she was doing her best to reject it. I can't be a widow now, she thought again. People had started to gather around mother and child as the cries and wailings of Tunji was disturbing their sweet dreams since it was barely five in the morning "I saw daddy's corpse lying on the road with blood all around him" Tunji finally broke the news to her. "Nooooooo!!!!" was the only noise she made before fainting. * To be Continued

Continuation. Eight years later. "Tunji, you are going to school now, becareful o, don't keep bad company" Mrs. Fasasi said to Tunji who was busy arranging his bag well, but he was silent, his mother continued "remember you have no father, neither do you have siblings. You are all i have o, don't disappoint me. Don't let my enemies mock me" "mum, you don't need to break any sweat on that, i will behave myself, you" " you better do o, don't make me cry over you" she interrupted him. "you know how many years i stayed at home before getting this admission, so i don't really have time for bad company even the good ones sef" he continued anyway. "keep your things very well o, please move closer to God o." " why are you telling me to keep my things na, a twenty years old big guy or have you forgotten am twenty already?" "you can be a fifty years old man, but you can never graduate from being my child, my baby boy" she replied him "hmmmmm" he said as he rolled his eyes. "mum, let me get on my way, i don't want to arrive there late in the night" he announced as he picked his bag, he threw the strap of the bag over his shoulder. He went outside the door but stopped just as he stepped outside to wait for his mother. They both went to the car park together, he saw a white 14-seat bus parked at the spot allotted to buses going to ilesha and ile-ife. He moved towards it and his mother walked behind him. "where is this bus going to" he asked the man he that sat at the driver seat. "ilesha-ife" the man said. He asked how much is the fare and he was told one thousand three hundred. He moved to the entrance and sat at the middle seat. The journey to ife was kind of boring for Tunji as he slept three different times, he got to the Obafemi Awolowo University school gate and he alighted from the and went to take a bus that will convey him to the school campus. If then took a bike to Faj hostel as it is normally called, Faj hostel is one of the biggest hostel in the school. It is as big as a whole community. It house so many houses, there are main blocks which are numbered in alphabets it ranges from A to J which means there are 10 blocks the main blocks are a two storey building having 6 rooms on each floor. It also have the annex building the annex are 6 in numbers. This hostel will be Tunji's community for the next one year, he doesn't know where he will be next year, and if doesn't seems to be disturbed. He saw a notice board as he entered the hostel, he looked at it and discovered it s the chart of the rooms, he looked for his room number, his room number should be 207, he had requested for rooms and was happy that he was offered room 207, he looked at the chart and found out the his room was surely in block F. He doesn't know where block F is, so he stopped a short guy and asked him, the guy showed him the way went away. He stopped in front me a closed door with the number 207 written boldly on the top of the door. He pushed d door and entered, he met two other guys in the room. One of the guys was arranging his clothes in d wardrobe while the other one was playing with his phone lying on his bed. " Good afternoon guys, is this room 207" Tunji asked, "yeah" the guys arranging his clothes answered him.

Continuation AFTER TWO YEARS "Thank you mum" Tunji said into his phone as he moved to his corner, he pulled the phone away from his cheek, he just got back from the lecture theatre, where he and his mates were forced to seat and wait for a lecturer, the man refused to come, he could only endure seating for thirty minutes before he became impatient and went out of the big hall, the oduduwa lecture theatre 1, was almost filled up with little spaces without students sitting on them, the theatre was attached to the amphi theatre, one of the biggest theatre in west Africa, he wen outside the complex and trekked to his hostel. He was already tired from walking. "Tunji, how far na" Frank, his roommate asked him, "guy, i just dey ni, that lecturer just delay person for inside class, still no come, person just sit for one hour and yet that man no even show." he exaggerated, they both discussed and argued about various thing ranging from lectures to lecturers, to sport, to women " guy, e get one question i be wan ask you o", "ask your question, na" " i see you and one fine gal like that" "please, you guys should speak english jor, and respect school environment na" Benson, another member of room that just entered the room said " which gal are you talking about?" Frank asked him, ignoring but respecting Benson's request, "that gal i saw with you and some guys earlier this morning, both of you are coming out of forks and fingers and the guys are behind you like bodyguards" he answered, "oh, you mean Bukky, she is my girlfriend, Blessing's friend, i met her at the bukateria, so we walked to her department together" he said to him, and continued with an askance look "what with her?" " i like that gal o, can you work her out for me?" "smoke dey your head? Which kind of work are you sending me?" Frank shot at him " please, help a brother out na" "can't a brother help himself out?" he snapped at him. Tunji have fulfilled his mother's advise through out his first two years in school, he was studying biochemistry, he avoided both bad company and ladies, unfortunately for him, the room he illegal bought from a first year student, also housed a cultist. "Look here my friend, you can't have, she is more than your class" Frank said, he has just broke his bubbles he thought, " are you downgrading me Frank?" he asked "haba Frank, don't downgrade him na, his is nothing but a common jew," Benson said facing Frank, then he faced Tunji as said "Bukky is no ordinary girl, she is the girl friend of Capon" "Capon?" Tunji asked shocked, "yes capon, why you con open mouth like person wey see obama for the first time?" Benson said to him, " look at him, the person that asked us to respect school environment" Frank accused as he stood up "am going outside jor, i want to play football" he announced " i am going to angola hall too, i want to go and see wahab" Benson and Frank both went out leaving Frank alone with his thought. When he saw that he was all alone in the room, he thought about what his roommate had said to him, "so they mean i can't date that girl, but that gal make sense o, that yellow sexy girl, they are now saying that i can't date her just because their capon is dating her, well that one be case o, i must try my luck" he said to himself, he continued talking to himself untill his phone rang, it was one of his classmates, he had informed him that they had lectures immediately he left the class, he also said the teacher had fixed another lecture for the next day, which was saturday. He had also offered to borrow him his note.
