The Preacher Son

Episode 6

I promised myself to read the whole of the New testament Bible in one whole month, which I did and was so elated and proud of my small brain (as if i did not jump some boring chapters)
After that i jumped abi na bounced to my wife house Tina, in my silly brain i thought we were married already, i was always forming macho dude and bodyguard.

Tina was also a pastor’s daughter, our overseer daughter to be precise, we were in the same class and area, we always acted as husband and wife in our kiddies drama. She had two elder brothers who never stop to amaze me with their wonderful acts, one of which was bringing smoke out of their mouths,
what confused me was that no matter how I tried smoke never came out of mine.
“May be its because I’m small thats why” i always comforted myself. Another thing was their ability to whistle(to make a bird like sound with their mouths).

That fateful day, i took Tina for a walk and started bragging when i saw a dog house, with little puppies in it.

“Me i go fit go touch those dogs o” i said proudly as a real akwa ibom man.
“Me I’m afraid of dogs o but go touch them make i see” she urged.

I walked boldly to the dog house feeling like a king cus my wifey dey my back, nothing happened untill i got near the cage and started playing with the dogs when suddenly i heard a sound that made my heart stop for 23seconds.
“Uuurghhh” i don die today………..

So are you still wondering what happened in the concluding part of my last chapter? Make i yarn una.

We all sat down and the program anthem came up and the presenter started speaking:
“Good day listeners, this the program ‘kiddies time’ and today with me here are the children of Ecwa primary school, Dadin kowa, they are going to introduce themselves starting from you over there(pointing to me)”.

“My name is Uduak Peter” i non chanlantly answered, that moment the whole house looked at me with pride in their eyes and were hailing me.

In my mind i was like, just watch the program finish na, una tounge go dry with yabbing me.
After all the introductions of names, the presenter ask the first question……

Just then, NEPA did what they knew best….
“Oh God Nepa una don Bleep up” everyone cried out apart from me who was so excited, an idea came into my mind.

“Make una no worry, i go tell una wetin happen all”, i started forming the questions we were asked and bringing out the answers, if I answer anyone i would say, it was i that answered it on the t.v and they were all foolishly hailing me.
By 4:25pm, NEPA brought back the light and we quickly rearranged and on our ‘president’ black and white t.v in time to hear the presenter say,

“thank you all for your viewing pleasure, we wish you have learnt alot from this our children this evening. Stay tuned till next time. Thank you”
NEPA had saved my ass that day.

It seems that the whole metropolisis did not have light the same time ours was interupted, so our group were called the next day to the assembly ground to present everything to the school.

I thundered everybody down by answering almost all the questions, which made me a local hero among my teachers and other students.
If it were the time of Twitter and facebook, i would have gotten alot of friend request and followers, because before that school day was over i had gathered alot of friends, and i had alot of love letters. LoL
I did not care about any of the girls because I just spoke to the most beautiful of them….Tina.
