" when I was out with Fabian, two boys were fighting because of one girl. I know the full story " Amanda said rushing from her bed to the couch where Kelly and Praise sat.

" tell us story " Praise yelled the dropped her phone so she would focus on what Amanda wants to say.

" na the girl person tell me the story. The girl and her boyfriend dey the restaurant wey me and Fabian dey. Before we know the girl other boyfriend con enter the restaurant, he con see he girl with the boy, nai fight bus oo ( the girl's person was the one that told me what happened. The girl and her boyfriend was inside the restaurant Fabian and I had gone to. All of a sudden, the girl's other boyfriend just entered the restaurant. He saw his girl with the boy, then they started fighting )" Amanda started narrating the story as if she knew the boys and the girl. " the one she was with in the restaurant has money than the other one because if you see them, you will know once " she added.

" if I'm the girl I will follow the one that has money " Praise said.

" na so your life be before na ( that's how you are) " Amanda said in a insulting way.

" what if you like the one that doesn't have money " Kelly asked.

" girls want care, attention, sex and happiness" Praise said.

" yeah? " Amanda asked confused.

" now bring out the first letter in those this things and tell me " Praise ordered.

" cash" Kelly replied.

" yes. We want care and the way we want that care is with money. Attention. Now we want our boyfriends to give us attention by buying us things like clothes, shoes, we also want them to give our younger ones money, and the most important one is iPhone. From 11 go. " Praise explained.

" you are making sense " Amanda said still thinking about what Praise had said.

" what about sex and happiness " Kelly asked.

" sex. After having sex with our boyfriends, we expect money to enter our hand. Nothing is free in a girl's body. The last one happiness. Money makes everybody happy. It makes the the world a better place. I shouldn't be explaining this to you Amanda " Praise said the clapped for herself.

" you know so much " Kelly praised praise.

" yes. I broke up with my last boyfriend because he refused to buy me iPhone. And he want my things. The thunder that will strike that boy is still in the gym and when it's done, it will finish that boy. I said if you buy the phone for me I will give it to you, but he said that I should give him first " praise said angry.

" so have you buy the iPhone now? " Kelly asked.

" can't you see that I'm using infinix note 7?. For my life I no go use my own money buy iPhone. Na my boyfriend go buy am for me ( I will never use my own money to buy iPhone. My boyfriend will be the one to buy it for me) " Praise swears.

" but you don't have one" Kelly said.

" Amanda's brother. Kelvin will buy it okay?) Praise said putting her hand on Amanda's shoulder.

" he has not buy for his sister. Hope you know that " Kelly said.

" you're starting to annoy me " Praise said.

" no vex ( don't be angry) Kelly apologized.

" well many boys buy things for their girlfriends and live their sister behind " Amanda said.

" but your brothers wouldn't do that to you" Praise said.

" just now I con remember when my uncle carry young girl go he house, he wants con pursue he wife commot. He wife na my daddy sister. She say she nor dey go anywhere. For five children she don't born for am. She say she die there. The man dey craze ( I just remembered when my uncle took a young girl to his house, he was now chasing his wife away.
