The Gist:
This gist happened growing up ......

Aunty Martha was our neighbor and she was constantly giving us faabu that her husband to be is in obodo America. People respected her then, and she was my favorite neighbor. 

She told me stories of what America looks like, I liked her so much that when  she calls me once I answer her three times and was always running her errands and doing her chores, with the promises that she will take me along to the airport, that once we reach there you go dey see America for front, she say she will take me when her America husband comes back. 


Well we wey no kuku get anybody for obodo and I have never been to an airport before, infact sef as I don big like this I no sure say e pass 4 times I don go airport . lol


If she goes to buy her gbanjo- gbanjo clothes back then in the days, she will come back and dash me some and say her husband sent them to her, Toor! as I never kuku see American cloth before I will gladly collect with plenty appreciation and put it down- down my bag of clothes and wear it only on special occasions. 


So finally the American husband was coming to visit one time, and I couldn’t follow her to the airport because I had to go to school, I cried and cried that day eehn, when I came back from school I met the American boo, and the guy was  dressed in one baggy trouser, oversized polo and head warmer, and was speaking gonna gonna up and down. 


So Aunty Martha asked me to go and buy him food, i asked what I should get him and the guy said ''I am gonna need bread and beans''. I looked at him then, cause I dey expect say na all those oyinbo mede-mede food he go dey chop I rushed to mama-kweve shop that day and bought bread and ewa-agoyin and gave him the food the guy chop am lick plate .


Two days later he carried his bags and left and after five days he was back again, as usual speaking his gonna wanna . 


One morning a woman had come to visit her sister who is a married woman in my compound when she saw him and shouted okechukwu which day you comot for Ibadan?

And the lady was like noooo, them don move America come Ibadan? okechuchukwu na Ibadan him base, and na one room apartment him dey stay for there , abi okey no be Ibadan all of us follow dey? Asking him, he couldn’t talk. The woman made sure she cast am well well na so breeze blow wey fowl yansh open o my people .
