I just wanted to get ingredients 4 my breakfast 4rm Mama Dorcas,the woman who sold provisions down d street. As I came out of my gate, everywhere was calm and quiet as expected, most children were probably in school by that time of d morning. As I walked into d store, I greeted Mama Dorcas just as I noticed a dark complexioned pot bellied man standing at a corner in the shop. This wasn't a strange sight at all, though not quite pleasant for that time in the morning as don't actually know what will end up spoiling your day. When he smiled at me he exposed his set of 'it-was-once-white-now-brown-teeth' .Immediately I lost appetite for breakfast that morning. Then he told me he'd be the one to attend to me because he liked fair people...who cares?
I just wanted to get what I came for as soon as possible. So after getting everything I wanted, I proceeded to leave and he called me...
"what on earth did he want?" that was the only question on my mind then.
"Fine girl, what is your name?" He asked and when I told him, he just said "Haaa I don't like igbo girls oh but anyways can I have your digit?".
Now what in the world was he talking about? I stared at him totally confused and already irritated.
"I mean your digits na so I can call you!"
Ohh, he was referring to my phone number,I realized.I declined politely though.
"Ah ah ,y are u doing shakara 4 me nah?"
Then he pointed to a familiar compound and said,
"you see that house, the one with flower in front,that is my house oh,I am the Oga landlord o."
"But since u don't want to gimme your digits, let me give u mine so anytime you're free you can just give me a beep"

I stared at him in absolute surprise, the house he had just pointed to was my house! And he was definitely not the landlord!!!
Smiling to myself, I collected the piece of paper on which he scribbled his number which I knew I'd still discard and asked him to follow me to my house since he had shown me his. He grinned widely as if he had just won a jackpot. By d time we got to my gate, he wasn't smiling anymore. He had obviously fooled himself. I looked at him from head to toe and smiled sarcastically,'this is your house abi?' I asked n he gave me a shamefaced look...'Answer nah, Oga Landlord!'. He couldn't utter a word.I hissed n threw d paper on which he had written his 'digits' and banged d gate on his face. Good riddance! Oga Landlord my foot!
The end??
