Chapter 13: Lagos Never Ends

Besides, Sewa family and main guy family na big people—danger full everywhere, no need talk too much.

For Lagos, na who sabi person wey big pass police dey win. I no get power for this level. Na to use sense waka.

I no get money, no get power, no get people. Why I go dey fight battle wey I no fit win?

Street sense na my guide. No be everything person dey drag.

Main guy na big man—if he dash me money, why I no go collect?

For my mind, I dey reason say, na better investment. No need do pass myself.

System: "Wetin be this!" [You dey craze! Na she be the madam for book o! You sabi how important that one be?]

System dey make noise, but I don off ear. Na who pride help?

I look Sewa dull eye, wave hand: "Madam Sewa, I no go disturb you again."

As I dey talk am, my chest dey free. E be like say load commot for head.

For night, music dey loud, dey sweet me. After I enjoy myself, I stagger go back Sewa compound.

For street, people dey dance azonto, DJ dey shout. I just dey high, dey smile like person wey win bet.

Light off. For moonlight, I see one fine leg cross, the shape dey scatter brain.

Na so my mind pause. E shock me. E be like say film wan start.

Before I fit talk, my throat dry. Then cold, lazy female voice enter from parlour: "Come here. Kneel."

Na there I know say, story never finish. For this Lagos, e fit be love, e fit be wahala—next move fit change my life. Make una no go anywhere.
