EPISODE 6
My mum was shocked.
Yes, cornell, remove the face cap please. She said.
I didn’t know what was going on with me again. If it was my hand that has refused to be lifted or me who has refused to lift the hand.
Cornell, my mum shouted
Yes mum, i replied
-is your ear not functioning or have you become handicapped ?
I was trying to try and answer when mum’s hand flew to my head . She took off my cap.
My mum shouted…..

-Junior, not in my house. Ike okuko(fowls butt) hair style, in my house? Satan is a liar.
She called sister sophia
-sophia, get me knife
What ? Did she say knife? Knife, oh my God knife. All i was saying was KNIFE. I started sweating from my brain to my heart.
She won’t do jack joor. I’m an only son, she can’t kill me. what did i even do? Because of haircut.
Sister sophia was looking at mum…
-Mum, she called, did you say i should get you Knife?
-Which knife? Mum fired back,What will i be doing with knife? I said SCISSORS .
-But mum you said KNIFE.
-sophia for the love of God, forget about what you heard and bring what you’re hearing now. Scissors please, thank you.
Now mum is serious, scissors on my head means CLEAN SKIN. Gorimakpa, what? Argh!!! Nooooo, I’m going to GOLD CROWN CONGREGATION tomorrow. My swag, oh God.
I started crying. I was crying. I went on my knees. One spirit that was sounding like Gresh’s voice was telling me to change it for my mum.
The voice……
Oga stand up there and fight for your right. Why you dey cry? Wetin you do? You kee person? My friend wise up. Walk up to your mother and defend your freedom.
Another one was saying…..
Guy, park out. Park out joor. You get money to rent house. Park out and be free. Paaaarrrrrkkkk oooouuuuuutttttt.
Hey, war was going on in my mind. I stood up like i was being controlled by a remote. Went straight to my wardrobe and started bringing down my clothes.
Sister sophia and mum came in.
Junior, what are you doing? Sister sophia asked.
Wicked girl, i murmured in my heart. How’s that her problem ?
-Cornell, mum called, what do you think you are trying to do?
Didn’t even say a word.
Mum came close to me.
-young man, i am talking to you. What are you trying to do?
Then that devil roaming about inside me came out.

I love God too. I want to serve him with my swag. And mum, you won’t touch this hair, you hear me. I am no more a kid. I rather catch cold on the street than die of choking hotness from all of you.
I kept on parking my things. Everywhere went calm. The JAGABAN in me started growing horn.
Before i could grow more horn, KPAAAAA, one my left chin, mum slapped me.
