“Oyin my brother, how are you?
since you started routing for this your party of the north, one could barely see your brake light”

“is it Bola, that instructed you not to even check on us again, because you are the ones holding on to power now abi?”

“Àfi kemá, bínú aunty mi, you know someone can be very busy in this our government, and by the way which Bola are you referring to, Anty mi?”

“How many Bola do you know? The one you people are calling jagaban, I don’t even know who named him jagaban sef? He has successfully put you South west politicians and your people under his armpit”

“Anty mi, moti só fun yín, eyé sobé mo, in this our politics, there are no permanent friends and enemies, take for instance this our party, we came together to send uncle Jonah back to Otuoke”

Knock knock on the door.

“Àwon omo yi gan ò mo isé won nisé, is any one there?” said Uncle Oyin. The door was opened and Femi the bad boy came in.

“Thunder fire that your mouth, no be this country you dey when your president people carry tear gas put for my eye because I asked them to tell us the health status of the president? ,you sit here dey ask me nonsense”.

In the middle of the argument baba who was initially taking a nap upstairs came in.

“Eyin omo yi bàjé gan o, you have used your noise to wake me up, is that why you are here?”

And everyone prostrated and on their kneels as they apologized to baba.

“I called you people here because of my new coalition party and you Oyin I want you to resign from your position as NIMC boss”

“Ha! Baba, emá jé kí ikokò obè fò, that is where we make the money we use in doing all these fine boy that you see”

“Bàbá o, emá binú, omodé òkín, mo èko je kòma ra lowó, but baba do not forget you are a better writer than I do o, you wrote under the former president and you have written letters during this dispensation too”

“Emá binú daddy, I even heard he asked you where the power you spent $16 billion dollars is and I heard you told him to go and read your book -My Watch, daddy se iná tú wá inú ìwé ni?
