SKIT -- OBIAGELI

Obi:

I have been told of your arrogance and dishonesty my friend. My friend you are no more my friend. We started together from infantry yes, but now that you are back rich you have turned your back on me, your best friend, before you departed Obiageli village.

aGeli:

It is not like that my good old friend; you should understand me better than...

Obi:

Wait... Nkeji and Uzo have said and complained the same thing aGeli. I know wetin I dey say jor. The whole village have known about your arrogance. Beneath the palm tree there, there we would sit on the ground to take palm wine till we are high and have lost it.

And you promised not to forget home didn't you?

Hmm... the maxim is true, "do not trust your fellow man when he is poor, let him be rich and stinking of it before you begin to trust him." The aged are sure wise, now I see.

aGeli:

What have you seen?

Take it easy my friend. Why all this... abi? I believed if the whole world were saying this you would stand up and speak in my stead that I would never turn my back on family.

Obi:

Shio... look at you, you are not the same aGeli I used to know hey... My friend you are not my friend. As in look at you...

aGeli:

What!

My new clothes. Lagos wears? You are scared of me for my wealth or you too are jealous?

Obi:

...

aGeli:

My friend, you are still my friend. Clothes will varnish but not the memories we share together.

Obi:

I...

aGeli:

The four of us: Nkeji and Uzo and you and I are leaving back for city together.

Obi:

Seriously...?

aGeli:

We leave first light tomorrow.
