... "Ibinabo!" Mama continued.

"Eat them, this is what you will continue eating as long as I live. Maybe whenever I'm broke, I might consider selling you off but just remain this way first"

I started to shiver, and didn't even know how to return quietly to my room without her noticing my presence. I started to sweat profusely, but I was also catching cold. My stomach started to rumble too, I became so pressed that I needed to use the to!let. I left the entrance quietly, taking a step or two backward, paused for a second, and then retreated into my room.

I haven't been so terr!ffied all my life. I rushed into the to!let, sat there for a few seconds and also, trying to comprehend what I had just witnessed but the urge to use the toilet had vanished. I returned to the room and started to pace up and down, then I managed to sit on the edge of the bed.

"How is it possible? That, Aunty Ibinabo is the black g0at?" I asked myself rhetorically, with my gaze fixed. And then the door opened. I jerked as soon as I heard the sound of the door, with my heart almost popping out of my chest. It was Mom.

"Jeffery, you look worried. What is it?" She quizzed.

"Mom, can you believe that that Grandma's black g0at is the missing Aunty Ibinabo?" 

"Are you high on something? Did what you just let out make any sense to you? G0at is Ibinabo? I don't understand " Said Mom, standing before me and staring at me.

I stood up all of a sudden, and then moved closer to her. I approached the windows, and raised the curtains to be sure no one was listening to our conversation.

"Mom, I was going to sneak out when I overheard Grandma talking with someone. I opened the door quietly, and I saw the g0at standing before her, the g0at had Aunty Ibinabo's head" I said in whispers and Mom covered my mouth in her palm all of a sudden, with the other hand grabbing my neck. She turned and looked around the room as if another person was there with us.

"Shhh!" She whispered, and then uncovered my mouth.

"Are you telling me the truth" Mom questioned in whispers, staring straight into my eyes.

"I swear" I whispered back, touching my tongue with my index finger and then raising the same finger in the air to show how truthful I was.

Mom paused for a few seconds, and then looked at me.

"Where are they?" She asked and I pointed toward the front door.

"Outside" I said.

Mom turned and walked towards my room door.

"To where?" I quizzed all of a sudden with eyes popped open.

"Outside" She replied already on her way out and then I rushed after her.

Mom opened the front door, grandma was still there with the g0at. I paused to see Mom's reaction on seeing the g0at but she was talking with Grandma normally. I became surprised, and then I summoned a little courage and went to them. But to my surprise, the head had changed into its normal form. Mom looked at me, and then looked at Grandma.

"Ermm... Mama, this your g0at is very fat and beautiful o. Please can you sell it for me? I want to go with her to the city so I can take good care of her. And when she reproduces, I'll bring the kids for you" Mom said giggling.

Grandma raised her head, and then feigned a smile.

"You mean this particular goat?" She queried.

"Yes ma" Mom said nodding sporadically.

"I have other goats, you can choose anyone from those ones over there" She said pointing towards some goats sitting in their numbers and chewing their mouths nonstop.

"No mama, I like this one. In fact, I'm ready to pay any amount for this" Said Mom.

"Really? You should be ready to pay big money o. Bring 500,000 and the g0at is yours" Grandma said laughing.

"Ok, I'll pay" Mom said smiling.

Grandma's eyes popped open all of a sudden 

"You will pay 500k just for this g0at?" 

"Yes mama, I like it and I'm ready to pay for it"

"Really? Where did you get such an amount of money cos I know you're not doing anything. Hmm, from your husband I guess?" Grandma asked staring at Mom.
"Well, I'm not selling this particular g0at yet. Even if you offered me a million Naira now, I still wouldn't let it go" Grandma added and continued feeding the g0at.

Mom turned, and looked at me.

"That's serious" She said and then grabbed my hand.

"Ok ma, in case you change your mind, please let me know" Mom said, and then took me in with her.

Throughout that day, and the day after, Mom and I waited patiently for Grandma to go out but she didn't. She finally did after the third day.

Mom left Dad in their room, beckoned on me to come and we went outside together, Mom said she had something to say to the g0at. 

We went outside and searched everywhere, but the g0at was nowhere to be found...

CANDIDATE MIND SET TO POLITICAL OFFICES.

CANDIDATE MIND SET TO POLITICAL OFFICES... By Edewor Otighoarievwen. I will start by saying Nigeria politics look almost the same in all regions, state and ethnicities. The patten nor method at which politics is been approach and played in a democratic nation like Nigeria looks opposite of true definition of democracy. What could be the reason? First, I have noticed, majorly' electorates have the mentality of begging and extorting candidates ones it's election period. And that's a bad habit of patriotic citizens that suppose to protect and ensure democracy. Secondly, unqualified and wrong choice to candidacy becomes inevitable base on the absolute observation and understanding of echelons who are in authority and place of partial politics to donate and sponsor candidates' that; voters are only in need of food and individual development instead of territory or societal all round development. The YOUTH should listen 👂, the true meaning of political participation is volun...

40B'NAIRA WAS NOT BORROWED, DELTA @ 33 FORMATION.

Image
PRESS STATEMENT 27th August, 2024 GOVERNOR SHERIFF OBOREVWORI HAS NOT BORROWED A DIME  The Delta State Government notes with serious concern some reports in some online media platforms alleging that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori borrowed the sum of N40billion soon after assuming office. The reports are not only misleading, but also capable of creating misunderstanding and confusion in the State. For the avoidance of doubt, I wish to state categorically that the Delta State Government DID NOT Borrow N40 billion. And the Sheriff Oborevwori administration has not borrowed any dime till now. The records are there for anybody who cares for the truth to verify. What the Oborevwori administration did was to graciously guarantee a N40b loan facility for ALGON, to enable it offset the unpaid pension liabilities of retired Local Government personnel. Repayable over a five-year period, the loan is to be repaid through direct debits to the Local Government Councils.  Also read   https:...

The Battle of Siget from August 6 to September 7, 1566.

Image
The Battle of Siget from August 6 to September 7, 1566. In the Habsburg-Ottoman war from 1551 to 1562, the Ottomans besieged Siget (Hungarian: *Szigetvár)* in the spring of 1556, but the defenders under the command of Mark Stančić (Hungarian: Horváth Stancsics Márk) managed to defend the fort. In August 1561, Marko Stančić died, and in September of the same year Count Nikola IV Zrinski (Hungarian: Zrínyi Miklós) was appointed as the new captain of Siget, at his own request. The conflict between the Ottoman vassal and the pretender to the Hungarian throne, Duke of Transylvania Sigismund Zapolya and the Czech, Hungarian and Croatian king Maximilian II. Habsburg, and the failure of the siege of Malta in 1565, influenced the decision of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent to break the truce concluded in 1562. At the age of 72 he undertakes the 13th campaign for his 45-year reign. The victory of the Croatian ban Petar Erdody near Obreska on September 10, 1565, over the army of the Bosnian Sandj...

NOBODY DARES TO WEAR THE SHOES U PUT ON...

Image
Nobody can or dares to wear the shoes u are putting on, Because it's never their Size👌 . Comr Edewor Otighoarievwen   In politics, people work against their conscience to get favour because of the above statement.  The same thing happens to those that are party conscious particularly when they have build and they don't want to let go. Also, remember man must live to make a better life.  Now, who is to be blamed for the issue of bad governance and parties' failure to bring out incompetent candidates when there are competent individuals in the party??? In a time like this, I will advise all political parties to be more party conscious of defending and not letting their party down for any reason of preferring an incompetent candidate when there are competent and more qualified individuals that can become candidates for citizens to choose through voting system.  Not being party conscious may lead to party destruction as it tempts to mislead and put party members in the ...

SCARING; TEENAGER'S EMBODIED SKILLS TO IMMORALITY.

Image
By Edewor Otighoarievwen. The age bracket 13—15 should be anxious of moral conduct. I am saying this because of the rate at which teenagers are often seen around immoral happenings in the current generation. There was a day I called 6 girls in a group movement to questioned about the reason they dress half nicked, their reply was through a young girl among them that; nothing makes them dress half nicked other than choice to dress as you like. Immorality will pay major religions atrocity today or later tomorrow. Religious is meant to be morally perfect not to congest the heart of men to the state of unbelieve or lacking faith. Changes is constant and it can occur when there is its necessity, most especially when one's mind is fed up and been made up. Helping to make corrections should be utmost priority of every human being and we should not be tired. The skills at which world teenagers practice immorality are numerous but who is to be blame? No one. Because, the game of blames does...
