She’d be like “Wale! te Eba fun awa mefa. Ma je ko ni koko oo” Yes we’re just 6. Me, my 3 younger ones, then my parents .
That shit can be so annoying ehn, but being the first born is annoying anyways, so I accepted my fate .

So, Iya Wale said I should make Eba oo. Omo! I grumbled

That’s how I dragged this woman to come and help me beg my mum, if not me I will not sleep that house oo.
The woman sha begged on my behalf and my mum was like Okay no problem. Out of respect for the woman, my mum sha pardoned me.
