Episode 3

Mama Ebube happened to be a no-nonsense woman, and also a troublesome person, feared in the residence.

Yes, what is it? Mama Ebube said. (Coming out of her house)

You and your children know very well that I hate people misusing that toilet. I don't know what it will take you guys to ensure that the toilet is clean after use.

Go and look at the toilet that your daughter flushed, go and see how disgusting it... (before she finished talking, Mummy Ebube cut her short.)

This stupid woman, so it's because of toilet that you came to disrupt what I'm doing inside. Do you even know what I was doing before you brought your disgusting and chubby self to my veranda?

But come to think of it, is it because we live together in the slums that you just feel that you can walk up to me and spit whatever rubbish that fills your mouth?

The next thing I heard was bang, it was a sound slap from Mummy Ebube's hand, to our caretaker's face, and a fight followed.

To be continued in my next post.
