Events Makes the World Go Round

7:45 Am, Thursday morning I was watching my dad’s car when a little neighborhood friend, dressed in her uniform getting ready for school. She said to me “Yar‘Adua is dead! He died yesterday” I said “Yee right” even Dan another neighborhood friend controlling aboki’s selling water for his in-house supply, did not not help matters, for he said “That small girl, How she take know? [The small little girl was about seven eight years]
But few minutes later when I got into the house, my sis and ma’ confirmed the rumor “Yar’Adau is indeed dead “The cat with nine lives finally ran out of lives
Them say the guy died yesterday, that’s what they say what do you think?
If you think that was hard…wait…as I dey prepare to come café, na so one aunty just enter the neighboring gate. The children dey outside dey play, na so she question them “you people no go school?” “No!” they replied “why” she asked them “you no hear say Yar’Adua die?” they asked her like a rehearsed chorus “So! Wetin concern you with Yar’Adua? na im get your school? Is he your daddy?
