( In response to a wonderful poem written to me by my good Nigerian friend Tee’k Aminu)
My
Oga friend hits me in Facebook chat
Tells
me, “How bodi?”
I
no no sabi, Abeg I no understand
Pidgin
English, I would have said
“
I dey fine”
I
protest to him,
“You
oga brodas will take
All
our Kenyan women,
Wetin
dey happen?”
Upon
which he says,
“Abeg,
why, I no gree”
I
say,
“
Your accent na,
An
your oga movies
Ramsey
Nouah,
Emeka
Ike go be seducing
Kenyan
ladies in dem films
An
na, they be say Kenyan men
Be
wahala, na so?”
And
so we talked so many things
Lagos
came to my doorstep
Tee’k
Aminu, Tororot,
The
God of the Rising Sun,
Bless
your path
After
chatting, I tell him
“Enjoy
your time, my broda,
And
don’t get lost”
To
which funny pal
Responds,
“No
way!…na my town o!
no
fit loss..lol”
I
say, “Ha ha ha!
You
have killed me!”
He
screams,
“
For whia! Na im u fit
Shout!
( If I killed you, you
Can’t
shout)”
I
laugh and respond,
“haven’t
heard of
Laughing
dead people na?”
He
swears,
“
Dat one no before my area o!”
I
want to ask him if I go marry
Rita
Dominic but he has logged out.
