And then, here was a bang, three bangs actually or should I say 3 knocks?, the solid door shook at each strikes.
They were here the day before to ask of the accumulated electric consumption bill. Politely, they had demanded for the for the fee which I pleaded be extended to a day.
This time, they spat fire.

"Guy!, where your money?"
"I... I..."
I tried to find my words as I opened my door to them.

" you dont have it right?, we gave you 2 days and yet you couldn't conform. Sorry we'll have to disconnect you from the source." One of them said with an indifferent smile on his face.
If he was trying to be friendly, that I didn't understand. But he was going to cut my wire connection, I thought.

20 minute or so afterwards, here I am in the deepest darkness battling with the mosquitoes that have lurked and survived hunger for several nights.
What more can I do?
Who wants to hear my nightmare tale?
Well let's hope on!

Just yesterday I got the advise of a lifetime. And I would respect this idea until ever.
"Money isn't everything, don't live for money, don't let money drive or Influence you" my distance uncle said. He continued "you'll have to live alone in depression the day you decide to choose money over people". I thanked him for the advise and promised not to compete for money and live a slow humble and smart life.
But you see this money, I go drag am. This girl don dey win this Sunday gist everytime 😁

"we can't pay such outrageous amount" the students barked. "We should organize a protest" a suggestion from the small pack.
"Yes! A protest by 6pm and we must spread the news on all social platforms" another voice echoed.

"We no go pay shishi!" Was the angry song as the scattered queue marched in their small numbers gaining little or no attention.
About an hour later there was a mass, a crowd, no a large mob. After short distance paroles, there was music for the angry students. Girls with only undies made the day remarkable for the boys by dancing and puting their waists off bearings.
It was a protest to remember, we can't pay such fees, not at all!
