Egba mi ooo…



...and so I was in this man's workshop this afternoon, I had given him money before the festivities to make jackets for my crew. The ones we are currently using are old and we wanted new ones. He had so much to do and so kept promising. i bet he didn't know my jackets were as important as some other people's Christmas clothes because he kept posting me till the year wound up.
I called him last week and he gave me today as a day to pick up. From an event the jackets would have been useful, i went straight to his workshop but to my amazement, it was locked up! The workshop is in a building, so I decided to check the back. Unfortunately for someone, i didn’t know a bathroom was behind. When I called out his name, a middle aged woman came out from the bathroom...the kind of bathroom built outside the house, behind the building. "Sorry madam, I am looking for Tailor", I said and turned to leave, it was then I got my afternoon shocker!
Please you can’t leave, she started...as i am, i have been married for 12 years without children. "Baba" told me after i use the soap this afternoon, the man i see first when coming out of the bathroom must make love to me. That man will be the father of my baby. It is after the man that i will now have kids for my husband. So please, don't go, come and do what you ought to do.
For Your Information sir, if you don't do it, I will remain Barren forever! That's what Baba said when he gave me the soap, so please I beg you, just help me.
Oh well, as I was hearing all these, my Heart was skipping! Not that I am a saint, but hearing Baba said, Baba said got me really scared. By the time she finished her story, she already locked my shirt so I won’t run.
Well, i freed myself somehow and ran for dear life! Does it mean she will be Barren?
Please, if you were the one, what would you have done?
I am not happy but I had no choice...I also blame the Tailor that should have sewn my jackets on time!
