Remember when my mum sent me to get tomatoes for stew on a Saturday evening. I was about 13 or so. So she gave me N20 for transport to the nearest market. 10 naira coming and 10 naira going. Then N1500 for tomatoes and pepper. So I now entered danfo bus the conductor didn't have change and expected me to leave the N10 for him. Me too I was following instructions and didn't want to short change my mum off the tomatoes. So we kept going back and forth on the short journey until I got to the market. He now said I should take the N20 joor that I'm stingy. I now told him (speaking plenty English) that I hate being called names I will look for change and drop N10 with one dry fish seller right beside where he dropped me (I pointed at the woman) that he should ask her when he comes back this way that what is his name so I can tell her. Everyone in the bus and even the fish seller burst into laughter. And the driver zoomed off with the conductor hanging from the door shouting 'stingykoko... omo kekere' etc I was wondering what I said that was making them laugh i now vexed and said infact I won't even drop it again. He should vex if he likes.
