THE MAGIC WORDS.

Its almost 12am in Nigeria and almost 11pm here....I didn't even know.Work is fun.Someone once told me that if I get a job I love,i'd end up not working because it wouldn't seem like work to me..just fun.And I say It's true.

Lamborghini guy came today and sincerely,I don't know what I have done to make this guy think I care about his car.

Oh! I haven't told you guys about the lamborghini guy.Honestly,I have forgotten his name because all he does is ask me to go somewhere with him so I can see the efficiency of the car but I already know because it was compared to the cheetah on NATGEOWILD.Infact no one here remembers his name because that car is what he keeps us aware of.Besides that car(maybe its even rented),his hair cut is the only good thing.When my colleague said ;

"Chioma,if you do not want that guy,better transfer him to me"

All I said was;

"Put on your bluetooth". And I continued fixing my bobbin on my machine.

Forgetting Sir Lamborghini,a lady came to drop her fabric and have her measurements taken and she started telling us about her husband and how he won't give her money to sew a dress;

"I asked him for only 100ghc to sew this dress and he was asking me why I have a business.(mimicking her husband).why will I take money from my own business to sew a cloth.isn't he the head of the family?"

And we all looked at each other.I couldn't read their thoughts from the exchanged glances but I knew all of us weren't on the same page.the lady was on her page alone.She brought out kelewele from her bag and started chewing the oily red plaintain which is known in Nigeria as dodo.I thought that was the end of her venting but she continued ;

"By the time he realises some part of his money is gone,I would have added one to my cloths.

Now I know ghanians are peace loving people unless I haven't met the bad ones.I was curious because I haven't seen a ghanian woman display such an attitude so I asked;

"Madam,this your fabric is fine o.where did you buy it from?"

"My dear,thank you..I went to madina market to get it."

Not getting the answer I wanted,I asked again :

"Oh ok.it looks good.why didn't you go to accra to buy it.you would have seen varieties.."

"My dear,I know that but I haven't been to accra in a very long while. the first time I got to ghana,I went there to shop and I didn't come back home with my phone so I changed to madina,where I can shop and still own a phone."

After my three seconds fake laughter,I asked my final question:

"So which country are you from?"

And the answer came;

"Sierra leone"..

Ghen!ghen! That shocked me.I should have guessed anyway.Her extra large braids should have told me.I said a simple 'ok'.i picked my bag and told them I was going to use the washroom.And somehow,I am on my bed.I still think if she calls her husband 'dear' as often as she called me,the man would give her every penny she wants.

Use the magic words and Have a beautiful Tuesday .
