SUNNY WEDNESDAYS (IVIE)

      

                                           

How could she not think on these things?

 The Keke napep swerved at the T-junction to the left as Ivie held on to the iron at the roof of the tricycle for her safety. The Keke napep got back its balance and the journey continued as roughly as it had started.

Osaze constantly reminding her of her past life was not in anyway helping her move forward with the life she found joy in.

Trying to remind her of her drinking and smoking habit was a new low for him to hurt her but she found comfort in the word of God.

‘There is therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but in Spirit’ she smiled as her thoughts aligned to the word.

“Wetin be this, why you no tell me sey you no get change” the spit that flew, as the driver angrily rained curses, nearly found its way to Ivie’s forehead.

She took a step backwards and the spit found a better abode on the ground just between her legs. She was never going to get used to the disgusting nature of the drivers that she had come across since she decided to move to Lagos.

She hurriedly searched for two hundred naira note and quickly took her one thousand naira note from  the clutches of his fingers before more spit mixed with insults would find its way to her forehead.

“Na so you people dey do, before you know na, na we dem go dey call problem givers, for early mor mor, na odin din one thousan you come wan give me this morning, where I for see change?” 

Hearing him rant even as she has walked a distance towards the pavement made her sigh.

He was definitely the least of her thoughts.
