Sapa $ Garri

This is a dark humour based on the Nigerian actual daily experience and of course their sarcastic way of naming their situation especially the ill ones. Sapa signifies hunger, some kind of exalted suffering that just occur normally or after carefree spending and Garri is the saviour in times of Sapa as it is very cheap, easy to get and easy to take no struggle at all. Only that it has a stigma, it is often seen as a poor man's food. In this story Garri as been personified and he is trying to secede from under the rule of Sapa. As Hope becomes the example. what will be the outcome?

In The Beginning

In a land of unfathomable and stupendous riches, ravishing people with promising future and initiative.

A force rose due to the uncanny nature of the leaders and followers as well.

It led majority of the people into hardship and turbulence.

In the light of this, a beacon of hope triggers from that same force and as such this new hope declares war on it's kin just to safe the striving people.

hmmmm. ....

One early morn, two brothers born of the deity of fertility and nature herself, (goddess of the earth) have their walk through the valley, appreciating nature's other offspring and creativeness.

The awe, encompassing and conspicuous.

People there always joyous, loving and contented. Always looking out for each other and making good of nature's gift of abundant riches and satisfaction.

This twins possess different humour, one darker than the other...

"Sapa" and "Garri"

As it...

"Peter! what is it you are telling my children again. They avoided all house chores with the excuse of listening to your ludicrous stories.

Now Hope and Ire, commence normal procedures or forfeit dinner."

Ire grunts and murmurs.

"ooo ooo mummy, someone cannot even rest small ah."

"did you say something young lady?"

As the kids walk away, Peter and Peculiar discuss.

"Egbon e, have you found a way to curb Hope's flamboyant lifestyle, it is quite infuriating and I don't seem to get through to him. Pobably the impression his father left him."

"You don't worry sister, your son's case is a simple issue, in time he will learn, leave him to experience."

"okay if you say so"

At the other side (kitchen) a few dish breaks along with water spilled on the tiles making it look unattractive.

Hope immediately lands in distress.

"Ire why do you always put me in trouble, did you have to break anything at all? what a drag."

"It just slipped naw, I did not know how "

"Hope!! what did I tell you about handing the dishes over to your sister, see how you two messed up my kitchen, ehn!

"Mummy, what did I do naw, shebi we are washing together, i'm not the one that broke the plates."

"Your story doesn't change anything young man, finish up. ma ro mi lejo."

"Okay mummy but this I will explain to you. She was arranging the plates, and did not know which one to put in the box. She only wanted to help."

"That is your only explanation?"

"Yes mummy, yes."

"Ouch! and you told your father you were following the biblical instruction, after all what did you learn from that?

you can't persuade me that easily.

When you are done go and arrange for school tomorrow, so we won't miss the bus."

As she leaves Hope murmurs

"Atleast school is a relief from this hell hole, I call home, can't wait to meet my guys and catch cruise."

Later that evening Uncle Peter visit Hope and Ire's room.
