Asiwaju: (Trots after Niyi and keeps on calliing his name) Niyi, Niyi, Niyi!! Niyi!!!

Niyi: (Looks around to show he's suspicious of his sounding surrounding, but he doesn't sight Asiwaju calling him. He stops and moves on)

Asiwaju. (Talks to himself) what's wrong with this Niyi self. Na wa fo him o. (Shouts on top of his voice again) Niyi! Niyi!! (Niyi turns back and sees Asiwaju)

Asiwaju: Niyi, let my Tuesday be Tuesday next week o, before I will loose my temper.

Niyi: E go be so, my guy. Gbabe. Waa she re! Oya chop Knuckle! (Asiwaju avoids his hands to walk away, leaving Niyi with missed expressions). Oya now, (shrugs) no wahala. Next week go be my time to show you pepper. I tell you!!

(Walks away)



Situation Two

(At Baba's front-yard. Sidi is plating Adeza's hair. Niyi, in few minutes later, whistles in and appears before them).

Adeza: Welcome, brother Niyi. Good evening.

Niyi: (Sits beside Sidi) Aya te mi nikan. My one and only sweety. Sa jen wa? How market?

(Background music plays and soon fades)




Situation three:

(At Sidi's room. Niyi is already seated. Sidi enters and joins him).

Sidi: Niyi, my love.

Niyi: Sidi, my heart.

Sidi: Sorry for keeping you waiting. It's Baba that won't let me be o for seconds. As you know, Tuesday is always our busiest day of the week at the market, because we make...

Niyi: (Cuts in bluntly) Yea, sure.

Sidi: (Pauses and looks him in the eyes and smiles) So, for the money you talked to me about. Here is the two-third of it. (Hands him the money) I will complete it for you in the evening, hopefully when we are through with Tuesday's sales from the market.

Niyi: (Smiles) thank you, Sidikatu my wife. (Counting the money) So when are you saying I should come for the rest of the money?

Sidi: (Caresses his head down to his chest) You know what, my love. Don't worry (withdraws back and smiles) I will come down to your house as soon as we are done with today's sales. I'll even lie to Baba that you're a little bit ill, so that he will be able to allow me pass tonight in your cave. And we can (kisses him and gives him a nice look and twists her lips) enjoy the night together.

Niyi: (Smiles) But... Don't you think I have to pay that idiot, Asiwaju before night falls?

Sidi: That's exactly my point, go and give him this one (points to the money in Niyi's hands) and tell him you are bringing the rest in the evening. (Smiles) So, be rest assured I will bring the rest for you then(kisses his cheeks).

Niyi: Okay, okay. No wahala, if that will be the case. (Stands up) I will be expecting you in the evening be that (turning to leave).

Sidi: (Holds his hands) haha. Not so soon. My father is now out to see his debtors.

Niyi: Meaning?

Sidi: (Moves closer to him) Meaning we still have time to have sometime together.

Niyi: What have we been having since morning I have been here?

Sidi: (letting his hands touch her body) as in (looks him in the eyes) I want it right now, before Baba returns.

Niyi: (Reluctant) But we have to be quick, so that... (Frowns) I will be able to catch up with that idiot.

Sidi: (Unbottoning Niyi's shirt) We will. (Smiles) Two to three rounds will not be bad.

Niyi: No Way! (Withdrawing himself but he's drawn back by Sidi) I'm not in the mood, so am not assuring you that. (Sidi flings his shirt away and walks him to bed. Niyi manages to sneak from her hold to: go to draw the window curtain, walk to the door and lock it. By the time he gets back, Sidi is already covering her bare up on the mattress).

Sidi: (Smiles) I'm set.

Niyi: Me too. (Jumps on the mattress)


Watch out for Situation Four...
