Chance or destiny--Part 2 continued.....


'All die na die!' that was always Abu the Soja slogan.At a time i used to think that as soon as Abu's mother gave birth to him,he was handed a gun and given the go ahead to go into the world and kill.He was a soldier at the bonny camp and i think the guy gets bored easily and eases himself by using his gun.There was a particular time i used him to sort some site issues out and i ended up paying him more than the area boys sef begging him not to kill anyody for my neck o.
So naturally my preference shifted to Lekan Navy....as soon as i got home i put a call to Lekan,his phone did not go through,actually switched off then i remembered he told me he would be going on official assignment to Niger delta.
Now i was stuck! i had no choice than to go and face these so called 'omo onile' the next day.
The following morning,my phone had started ringing by 7.30am,John had manged to go to site because i spoke to him the night before and pleaded with him ,my 'eye 'was still on completing the site on schedule.
'oga,dem dey here dem dey wait for you o,make i tell them say u still dey come?' john asked me.
'ehn now!' i barked through the phone to sound very brave .
'ok sir'
'but when am close i will park at that sweet sensation,once i flash you send Ahmed to me sharply'
'no wahala sir'
i grinned to myself,a plan was forming in my head.
I waited for Ahmed at sweet sensation and and as soon he got there,i dragged him to the nearest beer parlour and spoke to the woman in charge.
'madam ,u get very cold beer?'
'i get o'
'ok put down a carton for me' i oredred her
'ok sir'
i turned to Ahmed,and instructed him to give me 15mins,after 15 mins he should enter the site with the carton of beer and i also gave him N500 to buy wraps of 'koko'(indian hemp).
i brough out my pack of B & H ,lit one and dragged on it slowly
i took a deep breath and entered the site ..........ghenghen!!!!
i saw like 20 hard looking guys with different instruments
John na babanla Judas iscariot!
i was still trying to adjust myself
'Ehn ehn ,engineer don come' John fingered me out straight.
As soon as they saw me they all burst out laughing.................
'na u be the Engineer?'' asked a burly looking guy ,wearing a fishnet singlet and a Kangol cap with one small 'claro' in his fingers.
i slowly nodded
They started laughing again.
'this one na aje butter now!!!!!!...............shouted their Oga
i remained silent.
''omo aiye,se o ti gbo eni to je olongbo ri?..he asked if i have ever heard of a person by the name of cat.
i shook my head.
'ok now,emi ni olongbo,ti eyin re ko kin kan ile'..he replied..........meaning am the one they call the Cat that the back never touches the ground.
Foolishly.....i said .
'How are you Mr olongbo?'.................................
