(By Joy Isi Bewaji) - Nollywood
Romantic movie...
Man: Hey
beautiful lady, why are you out here by 8pm? Where can I drop you?
Lady: I'm
going to Mafoluku, sir.
Man: Eish!
That's far from my area. But hop in let me give you a ride.
Lady:
Thank you, sir. God bless you (slightly bends her knees three times)
She
enters. He drives off.
Man: So
what do you do for a living?
Lady: I'm
looking for work, sir. You see, my mother is sick, sir. No money to train my
younger brother, sir ('folds the edges of her dress continuously)
Man: Come
to my office tomorrow. I think I can get you a good job at my company.
Lady: Your
company?
Man: As
the CEO of "Yakata and Bros", I can get you sorted.
Lady: Ah!
Thank you, sir. God bless you, sir. God bless your company, sir. God bless your
wife and your children, sir.
Man: Well,
unfortunately, I am not married nor have children.
Lady: But
you are a good man, sir. How come?
Man:
('sighs) I haven't met a decent lady yet.
Lady:
('nods pitifully) The God whom I serve will meet you at your point of need,
sir.
Man: Stop
with all the "sirs". My name is Emeka.
Now she
starts to fold the edges of her dress into tiny bits of nonsense.
Man: Come
on, don't be shy. Say my name.
Lady:
E-m-e-k-a
Man: Good.
Good. And what's your beautiful name?
Lady:
Nkechi.
Man: Nice
name. Where are you from. Let me guess: Abakaliki?
Lady: No.
I am from Umuahia.
Man: Is it
before the river or across the river?
Lady:
Across.
Man: I am
before the river. Before-and-across never used to marry. But I am a child of
God, so it doesn't matter.
She bows
her head, shyly.
Later...
Lady: I am
stopping here, sir.
Man: OK.
Take this one million naira. Buy yourself some sanitary towels because I am
bloody in love with you.
Lady: Ha!
All this for me? Chinekeeeeee, daluuuuuu!!!
Man: Don't
worry. Don't worry. That's small change.
Lady: Ha!
('Looks up to heaven thanking God. Starts to sing an awfully annoying chorus)
Man:
That's not all, a sports car will be waiting for you in my office when you
resume.
Lady: Ha!
('starts to cry)
Man: Don't
cry. Don't cry. C'mon, don't spoil my leather seat with happy tears. OK?
She nods.
Man: So
when can I come and see your parents?
The End.
Hahahahahahahahah @ "The End". Lol. That is why it is called " African Magic." How can one use 1Million just for Sanitary towels? Lol.
