A story written by ademolar
Episode 1
My name is jimi Johnson,am 28 years old, am the only boy amidst the family of 5, which includes two girls(my elder sis,and my junior sis) and my parents.. at the age of 20 my parent sent me abroad to study law and life has been so good to me and my sisters, things were going smoothly as my parent provides all I need, I never for once get hungry of any kind of stuff because am born with diamond spoon in my mouth…
After my education in usa, i officially based there cus my parent never give me the chance to return back to my fatherland..not until two years ago, when the sad news came like a thief in the night, I lost my parent in cold blood . Offcus I never expect it,but I have no choice than to return to the country..
After the funeral, the lawyer and some family members announced my father’s will , though there is nothing much to share, the most amusing part of it all is. As rich as my father was, he built just one house and a pure water factory which later went bankrupt 3days after his died . we should have questioned him for building only one house, but we were too young and charmed by their wealth since we have access to easy life all is nothing but well..the lawyer announced..
Lawyer : I greet you all … accept my condolences for the death of Mr and Mrs johnson, I pray the family will not see thing of such in jesus name..
We all echoed a faint amen.
Lawyer : my name is barrister jude, am Mr Johnson’s lawyer .. (he paused for a while and he continues) as we all know, Mr and Mrs Johnson’s death came just like a flash when we least expected it, and he did not give any will before he died.. so I will name his properties before I hand it over for the family to decide.. Mr johnson has only one building which is this one we are in and a pure water factory located at no 5 akamson street ikeja lagos state.. at this junction I leave it for the family to decide.. over to you sir
He stoop up and left.. the head of family (olori-ebi) who was on sit didn’t took much time before he responded, saying he has nothing much to say about it, that we the children should share it amongst ourselves.. then he stood up and went out of the building..
This left the three of us in total confusion, as we don’t understand what was going on. “How could daddy and mummy be so rootless to have built just one house with all their wealth? “i asked without demanding a response.
My big sister, aunty tinu replied
Aunty tinu : jimi and kemi, please my advice is that we should just sell out the two building and forget about them, my mind is not free with those buildings.. I don’t trust daddy’s wealth, I see more hidden fact about their wealth..since we all have our own money, I guess we should not be bothered about that
Me : sorry sis , I don’t agree with that and I don’t believe in rituals .. we are not going to sell this building, as far as I am concerned, if both of you don’t want to support me, you are free to go..
Kemi : brother jimi, please take it easy Aunty tinu is saying the truth. Pls let’s just sell out this building, I believe she wants the best for us..
Me : shut up! What do you know? I don tell you say make you no de talk if elders de talk..
Aunty tinu : jimi, calm down and listen to our advice..
Me : sorry I don’t believe in your advice..
I stood up and walked out of the sitting room , not knowing am going to face the worst nightmare of my life..
