Person wey see Ikechukwu from afar go don even know say him don tire for life, and even life sef don tire for am. The two of them don tire for each other. Ikechukwu don find death so tey death sef come dey run from am. Well, if I was death, I would not even kill Ikechukwu at all, not even at a crucial time when he is owing a lot of people a huge amount of money. As they say, "death pays all the debt". But, on whose account will death write Ikechukwu's debt? He clear like 3D say if death kill Ikechukwu at that time, death sef go bankrupt. Ikechukwu don find death go house on 3 different occasions, but him no meet death for house at all, as death sef don dey run from Ikechukwu. The first time wey Ikechukwu wan kill himself, na electricity him want take end him life. Ikechukwu reason all the money wey him owe people that very evening, na so our guy reason say, na to die na him go end the whole matter o. In his one room apartment, he was looking at the time and wishing 5pm would never come because he had promised Baba Chidi to come for his money at 5pm simply because Baba Chidi had threatened him badly. But, he does not even have a Kobo to give to Baba Chidi. He looked at his wall clock, and his wall clock also stared at him in return. The two of them could not help each other. He wished that day would be one of the days his wall clock fails him by stopping half way due to dead battery. But, his wall clock did not stop working, instead, the wall clock dey fire speed dey go where 5pm dey. At 4:30pm, that was when it dawned on him that Baba Chidi really meant business when he called to know if Ikechukwu was at home. "Hello! Na Baba Chidi dey talku." He said with the usual Igbo accent. "I don dey enter road o. I go reachi your placei na na na." Baba Chidi said as he ended the call. Ikechukwu knew that the hour has come for him to visit death before Baba Chidi would visit him. In the middle of it all, his eyes went to the naked electric socket beside his shelf. In a quick hurry, he thought of using it as a means of escaping before Baba Chidi comes. "O boy, make I do dis thing sharperly. When I reach Heaven, we go dey reset the whole matter." He said to himself. The naked electric socket had been like that since Ikechukwu moved into the house few months ago, because he couldn't pay his house rent in his former flat, and his landlord had thrown few of his properties out, with the aim of selling the rest to get back the money Ikechukwu was owing him. Ikechukwu looked at the socket again. The red wire was longer than the black, and the metal part of the red wire was also longer. Everything just seems right enough to die. Ikechukwu sabi how that kin light fit kill person. Him be don learn electrical work for Chief Nnamdi shop before, and as them teach am say, if person hold positive and negative wires together at the same time, say na die o. I hope you are not doubting me that holding the positive and negative wires at the same time can kill? Well, if you're doubting me, I go advice you make you go try am first, then if you no die, come use your smallest finger press my nose 3 times. Ok. 4 times. Back to Ikechukwu matter. Na so Ikechukwu near the socket o. Him sit down in front of the socket as if say na core course. Sweat don full my guy body as if say rain fall for only him room. "Nna, I can't do this thing ni." He said to himself with his Igbo accent. As he was contemplating on doing it or not, na so him hear Baba Chidi's voice for outside. "Madamu, abeg Chidi dey house?" Baba Chidi asked one of Ikechukwu's neighbours. As Ikechukwu hear Baba Chidi's voice, fear catch am like say masquarade dey pursue cripple. He was certain that Baba Chidi was bringing death, na so Chidi summon courage to grap the wires. As our guy approach the wires ehn....guess what happened? Na so NEPA cease light oooooo.....
