As the madam walked in and the waitress still inside, Ofego leapt through the fence and escaped into the streets. As he ran, he thanked God, the restaurant had fence, and assured himself he'll never experience such again. He felt the spirit of hunger piercing him, and went to look for food anywhere. He didn't see and decided to go look for job instead. He went to an industry, not a movie industry, a block industry, and saw a guy around and approached him; Honourable i greet you! Please, is this the place that they carry block? Where is the person that wants to carry the block? The guy asked. Ofego replied; It's the person that asked you the question just now. Where is the person, i am not seeing him. The guy said. It's me na. Ofego replied. Which hands do you want to use to carry the blocks? Or are you going to rent hands? He asked. I am going to use this my hands na. Anything wrong with them? Ofego asked. Which body will you use, or, are you going to borrow your friend's body? The guy retorted. Ofego said; I am going to use this body that you are seeing. The guy stared at Ofego from head to toe and started laughing. You are not serious, he said, this carrying of blocks job is not for people like you, do you hear me? What kind of people is it meant for then? Ofego asked. People that feeds well. He replied. You mean i don't feed well? I don't really feed well, help me! Ofego pleaded. You should have told me since that is help that you need not job. See that guy over there, he pointed, he gives job, but me, i render help. Today, i don't have help to give, my help has finished, go meet him for job. Ofego was shocked and managed to say; Thank you! Let me go meet him. Before his job gets finished, like your help just did. Ofego met with the guy, he was given a job to carry fifty blocks to the top of a building. Before evening, he was done, and was given 500 Naira and a bonus of pain on his body. He collected the 500 Naira and managed to leave with his body along. He went to a chemist store; Who is selling here? It's me. Replied the chemist. Please i need pain reliever. All my body is playing bizzy body by P.Square. Ofego said. What did you use your body to do, royal rumble in the bedroom with a woman? The chemist asked. Ofego said; No o! I used it in carrying blocks, heavy ones to the top of a building. Oya, come to the room let me give you injection first to cool down the pain. The chemist said. is it injection that you want to give me first? So i will come to your room before you can give me injection. Only God knows what you have in mind to do with me inside that your room. Ofego said. Ahn, ahn, what kind of talk is that. Okay bring your buttocks let me give you it here before you think another thing with your unstable mind like that of PHCN. The chemist said, bringing out the injection equipment, and raising it into the air ready for action. Is that thing sharp? Ofego asked. Yes it is sharp. It is too sharp sef. Let me sharp it the more so that it will be sharper for easy penetration. The chemist said. Ofego admonished him; Don't try it o. Are you among the people that doesn't want me to use my buttocks to shit again? The chemist replied; No o! Why then do you want to sharp it the more? This is my buttocks, handle it with care and inject with caution. Ofego said pulling off. The chemist injected him and he yelled like a pregnant goat in labour. After the injection and prescription of tablets, the chemist said; Your money is just 495 Naira. Ofego screamed; For what? For the injection and the tablets i just gave to you. The chemist said. Ofego thought; Chai! I'm I dreaming? All the money that i was paid for carrying those blocks is what I want to use to pay this repairer for repairing my body. Oh my God, I'm finished! What will i use to eat. I actually went to carry those blocks just to have money to eat. Now, I'm paying off the money, for what i did not bargain for. He dipped his hand into his pocket, brought out the 500 Naira note, and gave it to the chemist. The chemist collected it and gave Ofego a 5 Naira change. Ofego collects it, stared at it sorrowfully and fainted. Next, Episode Thirteen.
