I thank God, I didn’t do it…My Precious Okada To My Rescue. But, as a fake big man, I once toyed with the idea…
About one month ago…I decided that I want to sell off my tear-rubber okada.
The proposed buyer, twice, gave me an appointment. I felt disappointed that, twice, he didn’t turn up.
Somebody told me five (5) days ago…thay he will soon get a willing buyer for the okada…and at a very good price.
I was happy in anticipation.
But while waiting, Gboa!!!, came the news that Monday morning of 29 May, 2023…
Our new helmsman at Aso Rock gave us a very soothing presidential inauguration gift…
…That gone is the era of subsidizing our free but hard-to-get precious PMS.
It was a gift long anticipated and expected, but untimely and wrongly presented to us, hapless Nigerians…
…Who are still battling with the pains and anguish betrothed to us by our gap-toothed, bespectacled Daura-born former presido.
And, within a twinkle of an eye… The mercantile capitalists, masquerading as oil marketers and their cohorts in NNPCL…
Came up with a new PMS pump price…far away from the reach of us, the talakawas.
With a new PMS pump price regime of the N500 per litre in Oyo State…
However, to the rescue comes my precious tear-rubber okada… My rickety car will be taking several days of the road…
At least…Apart from the seasonal torrential rains…It will not create deep big holes in my pocket..
…It will save and spare some extra coins for my family.
I thank God that I didn’t do it…I thank God that the proposed buyer, a pleasant Hausa guy, didn’t turn up…
I thank God, I didn’t do it…I thank God I didn’t sell off my precious tear-rubber okada
Thank you, my precious okada…For not allowing me to tear my pocket in the quest to fill my car tank with expensive and out-of-pocket costly PMS.
Thank you for coming to my rescue…
I thank God I didn’t sell off my precious tear-rubber okada…
In this season of anomie…When the new PMS pump price regime will begin to SAP many out of their humanity.
NB: Please, don’t come to me begging, asking for a ride when you see on my tear-rubber okada…I am a learner ooo…
Better still, go to our benevolent Daddy at Aso Rock for your own okada, a buffer against the new PMS pump price regime.
