As Ofego was blaming sleep for making him to miss out on the freebies the church had shared, a female usher who was about to go home cause the church had closed and people were going home, approached him; Anything the matter sir? She was holding her own share of the rice Ofego had missed on her hand. Ofego replied; No, sister in the Lord. Then why are you crying? She asked. Ofego replied; I dey cry say i sleep off, i con miss the anointing. Ehya, sorry, I can give you my own. She suggested. I go dey most grateful, if you give me. Ofego said, licking his mouth, and staring at the usher's rice. She dips her hand into her hand bag and brought out an anointing oil; Take! She said. Ofego collects it; Thank you sister, in the Lord. But, no be this one i miss, na the anointed rice wey dey your hand so i miss. Yeye man! You no want make i eat afternoon food abi, nonsense! She hissed and walked away. Ofego was shocked and disappointed. The chair he sat down shooked, and almost broke. He managed to get up and joined the rest of the church members in trooping out of the church. He strayed into the streets. As he was walking, he saw a couple sitting down in a shop and approached them; Una well done o! Mama baby and papa bomboy i hail! We download your hailing successfully. They replied. Wetin you wan buy? The woman asked. I no wan buy, i wan beg. Ofego said. Beg wetin? Wey we never sell anything since morning. The woman said. Ofego explained to them what brought him there. You wear suit and cover shoe, you dey beg us for money. No be we wey tie cloth suppose beg you. The man said. The woman nods; No mind am. You no dey shame? Haba! We wey you dey beg sef no dress reach you. Come on, discharge comot for here jor. Foolish man! Ofego pleaded; Na condition put me for this kind thing so o, abeg na, make una reason me. Reason you for wetin? As you talk am so, na we kidnap you come Warri? Abeg dey go jor, before i forget my cutlass for your head, dey go make better customers see road pass come. The woman said, getting up and chasing Ofego out. Ofego left the store. As he was still straying on the streets, he saw another couple coming out of their car. Remembering what the man and wife at the store had told him, he took off his suit. Wearing only boxer and singlet he approached the couple; Help a poor beggar! They stopped and stared at him from head to toe for about two minutes and said; Sorry, we don't give our hard earned money to vagabonds. On hearing this, Ofego ran down to a nearby glass window to examine himself if indeed he really looked like a vagabond. Chineke! I really resemble vagabond o. Make i wear my suit back jor. He rushed down to where the couple was, brought out his suit and trouser and wore them back on, to show the couple that he was not a vagabond. After putting them on, he started laughing, staring at the couple. The couple took to their heels thinking that he was a mad man. Watch Out for Episode Three. It will be at my homepage later.
