Day 1 My mum recently converted our security house to å shop. I wasnt comfortable. The aboki was my friend already. Now he's jobless. Hian!  I asked her why, she said: " Ayo, we need money. Only God can protect us in this country. Forget this aboki people. They are only here to finish our money ånd food. As you're downstairs now, If one armed robber should appear now ånd shoot small gun, they will join us to run upstairs o !They will follow you ånd drag your own door. No shame. Ånd if they enter before you, they will even lock you outside. Forget them. Ees only God that can save biko. Kpata Kpata, I have 'beware of dogs' poster . We will put it outside. Thiefs will even fear us more sef. Hopefully, one neighbour will help us to buy dog in future." . I thought about it finally. Who aboki epp? Las las,I became å sales girl by default.  No pay. Nothing. But I have to pay for everything I take in the shop. "Nothing is ever free in free town. "...
