Oga o women and stinginess na because of #30 chicken change you dey Para. This statement caused an uproar in the bus. Chicken change you sey…….
DIRTY SLAP
“The more you see, the less you speak and the less you speak, the more you see “that is the principle Bimpe ought to apply when she gossiped about her neighbor to her husband. She saw her talking to a man at the end of the street thinking she was cheating on her husband went ahead to report. The neighbor responded by giving her a dirty slap before any discussion. Though she apologized to Bimpe but that can’t cancel the dirty slap she received already. Does she deserve the slap or not?
EYE SERVICE
A funny story indeed. Anytime I remember the incident that happened at my work place some times ago, I wonder why a person would not stay true to himself. There was a man that made it his duty to serve as an eye pleaser to our boss. Normally the boss is not usually around but whenever he comes around, the man makes sure he pretends to be hardworking to the extend my boss entrusted him with a project that almost ruin the company due to his inefficiency and eye service.
