Just for Laughs






He asked me, “so, where do you stay?” and before I could give an answer, he quickly said “Well, I stay in ‘Fictoria Gardening City”, squaring his shoulders like a proud 8 year old.
I thought I didn’t hear well.
And oh! How that brought out my igbo swag
My eyes nearly popped out.  I thought ‘Ewo! I haf heard another one today o’
I replied “Fictoria gini? (Fictoria what?!)
Feeling very proud of himself and thinking ‘oh! She doesn’t even know’
He said emphatically – “FICTORIA GARDENING CITY”
Honestly, I tried hard to hold back the laughter
After I succeeded…
Then I was ready to say where I stay
I looked at him and said to him with sarcasm,
“Dude, if you live on Fictoria Gardening City, then I live on the hanging gardens of Babylon”
“Where’s that?” He asked quickly
“Well”, I replied. *naughty mode on*. “It is very close to Mushin”
“oh oh…” He exclaimed…
“Hmm…” I replied.
