???? A Daughter’s Revenge EPISODE FORTY ONE:
PREVIOUSLY ON A DAUGHTER’S REVENGE:
Oga Mba and his family would leave early in the morning.
So before Martha and her aunt left that day, it was night already.
The shop keys were handed to Martha. The new owner. The house gate spare keys were given to them. And the hideout where the keys into the house would be hidden was shown to them. They want Martha and Aunty Ifeoma to come and pack the remaining things in the house before handing over the keys to the house to the new owner.
The following day, Oga Mba and his family jetted off to Canada.
THE CONTINUATION:
Mr. Mba and his family arrived in Canada safe and sound.
Mrs. Mba even did a video call with Martha to show her around and as well have a ‘Gist’ with her.
As Martha happened to be her ‘Gisting’ partner.
To whom much is given, much is required. Mr. Mba required nothing more from Martha than never to allow his legacy to die in that market.
However, he always in touch with Martha to know how the business was doing and the challenges she was facing and how he could be of help.
He always admonished Martha and as well refreshing her memory on the nooks and crannies of the business. The secrets of the business. And the way forward of the business.
It was not as if Mr. Mba was questioning or doubting the capacity of Martha to handle the business. No! As a matter of fact, Mr. Mba has so much trust and belief in her. He has never for one day doubted Martha’s capacity or capability in handling that business. As he has tested and trusted her so much. And that was why he handed the business over to her as a means of appreciating and settling her.
The business was not doing bad either. It was growing from strength to strength. As if Mr. Mba was still fully involved in the affairs of the business as usual.
Infact, those who expected the business to crash were totally disappointed. As Martha was doing so well even beyond expectations.
????BEER PARLOR ????
The joint was located inside the computer village. The topic of discussion that hot afternoon was Mr. Mba and Martha. The gossipers were some ‘Ndi Oga’ and ‘Ndi Oso Ahia’. They clutched to their bottles of beer gossiping like women.
‘I never knew that Mr. Mba was so useless. I thought he was man enough but the way he handled everything before leaving this country showed that he is a woman in a man form,’ Mr. A said, very disappointed.
‘What do you expect from a man who a woman controls?,’ Mr. B added.
‘I am very much confused here. What sin has Mba committed?,’ Mr. C asked, very confused.
‘Why would you be asking such a question? Don’t you have eyes?,’ Mr. A tackled Mr. C.
‘Oh! See me see wahala oh! Onye ajuju ana efu uzo? Does he who asks questions ever miss his way? Or has it become a crime to ask a question again?,’ Mr. C had to ask.
‘Why are you asking a stûpîd question whereas what we are talking about is even visible to the blind?,’ Mr. A tackled him again.
‘Stop pretending as if you don’t know what we are talking about. Look, what your friend, Mba, did is not good. How can you give a whole shop full of goods to a total stranger whereas your younger brother is languishing in the village,’ Mr. B added, still tackling Mr. C.
‘And an ordinary sales girl for that matter. Onye Awusa(Hausa person) oh! Tell me, will heaven fall down if Mba used that shop to settle his one and only brother?,’ Mr. A added.
‘I am suspecting that Mba was having an affair with that girl. Because there is something behind what he did. Probably he used that shop to compensate the lady for their sèxcapadès,’ Mr. D came in.
‘Gbam! You are on point. You actually read my mind,’ Mr. B supported Mr. D.
‘Or who knows whether Martha had used the Awusa spell on them. Because ‘Ndi Awusa’(Hausa people) are very diabolic in their own way,’ Mr. E suggested.
‘I am not disputing all that you people have said. But the person who I strongly believed was behind that taboo committed by Mba was his wife. You all know how Mrs. Mba hated Mba’s only brother, Rufus. With this much hatred towards that young man, even if Mba had the intention of settling Rufus with that shop, do you think the wife would have allowed him to do so?..’, Mr. A added.
‘That wîçkèd woman will definitely not allow him. And to worsen the whole thing, Mba is not man enough. He listens to his wife a lot. He is being controlled so much by his wife,’ Mr. E supported Mr. A.
‘When things fall apart, the center cannot hold. If Mba’s parents were still alive, such a taboo would not happen..,’ Mr D added.
‘You all are talking trash!,’ Mr. C interrupted. ‘Why do you all choose to speak balderdash whereas you all know the truth?,’ he paused for the question to sink deep into their heads. ‘You all are now talking about Rufus as if he’s a saint.
Who in this market doesn’t know who Rufus is? You all know how many times Mba opened a shop for Rufus inside this market and he ended up squandering the môñèy on women and drugs. Who among you all here doesn’t know how many times has Mba sent Rufus outside the country for greener pastures and he ended up getting deported? Who among you here doesn’t know how many times Rufus has run away with Mba’s môñèy here in Lagos?,’ he paused again for his words to sink well into their skulls.
‘What is it that Mba hasn’t done for that vagabond? Should Mba kîll himself simply because he had an irresponsible brother? A young man who has chosen a wayward life for himself. A man who doesn’t want to be useful in life..’
‘That is not a justification to what Mba had done. Do you know if Rufus has turned a new leaf?,’ Mr. A interrupted.
‘Turn a new leaf to my foot. How many of Mba’s properties has that idîot sold off in that village? How many times he had landed himself in the police net for theft? Tell me or will you say you don’t know? Is it not a week ago he landed into the police net as a result of rôbbery. This time around he will end up in jail because Mba has vowed never to help him again..’, Mr. C explained bitterly.
The discussion continued.
