When he was begging for Water to drink , not even the one drawn from a road side dug up Pit which a Danfo Transporter used to top up his Radiator were provided , instead the driver pour out the water on the road with a disgusting dignity of fulfillment and the passengers applauded.
That was why i asked , why are people looking at him with such a disgust, stern and disdain ?.
They chorussed "He is the B Walker " and as i do not intend ibe onwem ego , i maintain as a Guy Man instead to ask them to explain the meaning of the Name to me and cut me short .
So i silently take note of the "WALKER" Emaciated body , and i observed that he was robust before now, and it dawn on me that WALKER is same man that WALKED from LAGOS to ABUJA when the Change in hand of the Conductor was a Hope before it turned to mirage and Powder in the wind.
When i noticed that he was Heavier , healthier and robust before he started the Trekking , that his Shoes were sparkling and shinning showing life , his Skin nourished and radiating and his Pace vibrant.
Then as he is going back , but with Reverse , the Shoes on his legs has Holes all over , his lips torn in tartars with dry hunger , his skin looks like Famine in SOMALIA during thier days in widerness .
As he was going back to Lagos , he pass a Filling Station that displayed Pump price at 87 Naira per litre, he started crying , when he got to where they sale Yam he noticed that what they sale Yam while he was going was 300 Naira A Tuber but, currently 1, 200 and he cried the more.
The Mallam that was selling Dollars that gave him some monetary support while he was going , rushed at him and take one of his Shoes and was barking at him , calling him names and was fuming, he said that he sold Dollars then at 180 and was living comfortably well with the profit and was very happy but now , he complained that he doesn't even know where Dollars are coming from or who is in charge , not only that it is now at 364 but he is not sure what the rate will be in 2 Hours time .
He stoped at MEI TEA who sale Tea by Road side and i was shocked and alarmed when the Mallam selling the Tea ask him , which one he wants "JONATHAN TEA or BUHARI TEA ?", He Choose Buhari Tea and the man gave him Tea with no Milk , , out of curiosity , i asked for JONATHAN TEA from the Tea seller , he gave me a Cup of Very Rich Tea with one TIN OF MILK, TOASTED BREAD and 3 Spoons of OVALTINE ..i can't even under such discrimination .
As the WALKER reached the restaurant that fed him while going at the rate of 70Naira for plate with 2 Meat , they yank off his second shoe and charge it for his short payment , for now the price of a plate of food has gone up to 300 Naira with one thing they call Meat.
As the Walker was Trekking back in pains , agony , disappointment , i saw Men on Mask arguing with Assult Riffle if it is right to finish him off before he reach Lagos and return everything back to Status quo ...
Then i saw JONA laughing and dancing with mockery of what i can't explain ...that was when i saw group of POLITIFIANS plotting to IMPEACH the Man and dare the consequence and i woke up , i was sweating like Christmas Goat , just because the WALKER was fainting and from what I saw , he doesn't have the strenght to finish the Journey .
Now i must have to trek to OYE ICHIDA to nke NGO WHITE "ANYA AGU" for a Delicious Ofe Utazi.
