Success camp  
            
Pastor  chike  stood  on  altar after  his  final  message  and declared. He told the audience that SUCCESS CAMP AS ENDED Morethami and Nneka heard this and began to cry. Weep
althrough thursday night, weep that they would miss food - serve in
plenteous - and freely shared. eye lookers and eye servers may not
understand. Nneka would be dead if he doesn't eat, said the doctor.
Morethami would be ill, said the nurse. Food is needed to bring them alive
- who knows where the cold room is? I wish good boys can answer this
question.

______________________________
I sat behind the choir stand - all dressed in white apparel. My eye's
eagle an hair attached to someone skin,
Owongieyi was his name. I knew him before. We've sat together - last days
in school. He was brilliant - oughtmost challenge our class teacher.
Udochi tapped me by side - On an errand to buy some eatable items
from the market. He first of all ask me, if i know of Owongieyi? and I
said yes. Yes, because no one buys that name. I was shocked hearing that
Owongieyi is a thief - and a cultist.
"No wonder as i was asked to share the food - he was the first to
collect".
After they had finished eating and serving the food - pastor chike who
stood on altar preaching told the participants that camping has ended.
______________________________
We were happy - atleast for the first time, unknown to us - owongieyi had
crushes. He stood up - begging the congregation to plead hand to hand with
pastor chike to change his mind, and the rest of his fans followed.
They thought the camp would close on saturday - to enable them carryout
their operation.
Pastor chike walk down from the altar after his final prayer - stood again
with microphone.
We heard him say " saturday as become friday " and said, that he saw a
sparkling hand writing written on the wall of his roof - when he lastly
prayed.
______________________________
     Morethami and nneka stood to go home after capturing themselve beside an
angelic building.
  it was beautiful, but never had chance entering there - white garment
legion had secured the coverage - and no way for us to enter.
We only perceive the odour - of the stew cooked and fried for pastor's,
the perfume spread over by guest, plasting paint, red and pink bulb
lightening the corner, cars pack by side, drinking tap water behind the
fence - white chairs arranged with staff hang by side, and on wall - arts
portrait " white house ".
______________________________
Morethami and nneka saw obalinami and mouthpiece with gun on left holding
elizabeth " young comedian" and was caught. She was their friend - that
she had to withdraw and join another fans.
Twenty - year - old elizabeth with her flat chest and brown elbows
designed of tatoo. She was a girl with dirt her nails and first thumb,
naked in look and scanty in feeling. She feel she had arrived, yet on lane.
Morethami smothered her mother with pilow through curtain and she lost
her virginity too. She got messed-up by Nneka that promise to buy her car -
build her house and marry her and couldn't disguise her intension and her
glee at his embarrassment.
        At dadoes she sat holding daffodil - and heard sound of foots cracking
the tiles where she sat but pretended not to notice - as she stayed lonely.
Night chirps ripping the desert of her mind swimming the corridor of her
duck throat as though she ate queen bee.
She wore dark glasses as monkey - hunting banana in forest and a wig as
protection - to make Obalinami loose sight.
She didn't know that Obalinami was the legion she had met the previous
week. And that he saw her - from afar .... She delved in her handbag for a
phone - and call ugeb.
Ugeb had stayed with an empty stomach - only ate three fish last night -
mum love him, and won't let him sick, she pray him change. But, always
tell her to be fine someday.
He love lies - his wicked spirit won't allowed him tell truth - someone
suck his blood. It happen spiritually - nobody saw it....em... God saw it.
She told her husband that ugeb has begat matured face and that he lives
in daiquiri and never depend on any even at sunset. His hair is now
growing tall - shiny as weavon. Only god knows who he resemble.
She notice what game he had been playing and catch him not. Playing as
with termite and millipede.
Obalinami comes with dachshund and fold string of chain daisies tied
round her neck - and tend to be silent.
Obalinami dog behaves matured as been a human adult - maintain in
quietness.
Ugeb had pick the call - and she started speaking. Not quite long,
Obalinami heard Elizabeth on phone saying " On Saturday morning; inform
your boys, great deal, I mean operation will be taking place on this camp -
tell them to bring their gun - we must kill atleast five people"
She look back to check if someone was coming - or heard what she had said -
Obalinami had change position.
Nobody heard it, except Obalinami - he heard her clearly.
" Give me that phone" she murmured
"No, I won't - what has gone wrong? For God sake - I was calling my
father"
"Who asked you - what you were doing?"
"That was not your question - but I have to tell you the truth"
"Give me that phone" she murmured again.
"Why should I - what have I done?"
"Give me that phone - or I strip you naked"
"Sorry....I heard the news late - that we shouldn't come with our cell
phone; mistake had scored mistake, I promise, I won't call again" she
nodded.
Obalinami was surprise that she is even denying - that he told her to hand
over the phone to him - but she refuse.
"What kind of criminal are you?"
"Sir, I never thought that for once, how can I be a criminal - what
brought me here - to serve God"
"I can't believe - you came here to kill?"
"God forbid, see - I have my Bible here with me; how can I kill?"
"Can you tell the world that you are not a cultist?"
" Sir, I can only tell in this hall"
" Why?"
" My friends out there know me as been a coperate football player"
" Let's go!"
Obalinami had finished his job - all he had to do was to hand her over to
his senior in command.
Another has happened - she refuse going with him. And said, Obalinami
want to kill her.
"I won't hurt you"
"You will"
"Stop fudging lies"
"Am not your room mate - like I said, am not a lier"
"If you won't follow me - then, I call the legion, my senior in command"
"Go ahead Sir, am innocent and not a criminal"
Obalinami shock and the way she kept her face made him sigh.
"Do you think, you weren't caught?"
"Caught, for what?"
"I met you - I was at your back, when you were speaking and talking
to your fans on phone - that they should come with their gun on Saturday,
Is it not true?"
"You lie sir; the Bible says - if one man disturbs your peace - cut him
out"
"I've caught you - For God sake you can quote wrong scriptural
references to my hearing"
"Check Isaiah 5:6 you will see it - written on red ink - Sir, when
you might have check it,....do not call me and if you check it isn't true,
you can come back and arrest me"
"So, what is the best thing you can do now?"
"The best thing I can do now - is to in my hostel and sleep"
"Ha ha.....now you want to go and sleep - after calling your fans to
hang up rumuodara gate with guns - atleast kill five people"
"Sir, I've told you - I wasn't calling any fans, I only call my father:
to check how fa"
"Is not the best thing - if you stood up, I'II shoot you"
Elizabeth knew that he is telling her the truth - and keep looking eyeball
to eyeball.
Obalinami working as night security - had some cell phone on his wallet. He
had to call his fellow legion to come testify what he had seen.
The street were calm and dark - only Obalinami touch that brighten up the
corner of were Elizabeth had stood. She thought it fairly abused by her
having met Obalinami the legion night securer.
"Women are always devil" Obalinami said to himself
My mother is classified as a woman - isn't she among this troop - she might
be different; she might be different but eve live on her - really, they are
birds of the same feather.
Elizabeth had been staring at her running stomach and excuse to give -
she told him to bring her food for she is hungry. Obalinami didn't want to
go - she is a messenger: demonic daughter. But when Obalinami heard gunshot
on air atmost thrice - thrice. He was moved to go.
She smiles and call him fool
"Only fools that fear dead"
"An old legion afraid of dead"
"Wore hefty shoe and "
"Immature in faith, fool"
"Powerful legion - don't delay"
"It's true - he met me calling me fans; why shouldn't he report?"
"Maybe he is looking for friendship"
"He will never see me- am different"
"The only girl in jungle"
"Now am unprisoned - sure am free, no body would stop me"
"Those fools at the gate - shouldn't, I won't tolerate it"
______________________________
My wristwatch is rotating - I still wondered what a beautiful cray fish
would be doing by this time - dot twelve pm.
It's big and jam-pack the face in fairness - as a young guy, I had to
change my walking step - walking in styles. I see her talking to me, but I
didn't care asking her name. Cray fish are always aquatic animals - what
should I be doing with it.
"Cray fish are animals- and she had the face exactly"
"My mother uses crayfish as food ingredients - I do eat it, without any
communication"
"I'm surprise that this one can speak" em 'em em "cray fish must return
to her hostel"
" She told me her name as Elizabeth - wow, cray fish answering Elizabeth;
wonders shall never end"
She told me that she is looking for the fruit of the womb - that she need
my hand to remarry again.
Oboy was confuse - from fruit of the womb to remarry again. Which one
will he choose. The world has turned to a situation whereby men would soon
marry crayfish - look what she ask of.
Ha ha ha she is beautiful - my wristwatch rotates again - something tells
me " Miss error is here"
I heard her say - she love the man that lives in me - that am the sugar,
butter, fresh terrine, bread and groundnut, apple and pineapple she had
been seeking for.
It's amazing - oboy never talk or prayed before - was it my dream.
"You said am your will?"
"Yes, very sure - "
"that's good" He yelled.
"Where is your hostel?"
"Ha ha...why this question?"
"I just want to know"
"Yes my hostel is beside and behind - what are you going there to
do?"
"Nothing - I just...I just"
"You just what?"
"Rest"
But Oboy resisted - she clung more to what had been hers for a few
minutes, kneeling like sweeping her cheek for the fact of getting him. The
way she slap her jaw frightens me, friends in hostel may say - she remains
my girl on night.
She looks pretty and from her mother's tongue and can perceive the
percussion that she is an instrument of
"My camp - my hostel - my room is never for girls and not permitted
for girls or women like you"
"I know - just tonight alone"
"No I won't"
"Are you upset?"
"Am not - I made a mistake - I shall see you again, goodnight -
crayfish"
Oboy was surprised that she ran after him - and told him the reason why
she want to spend a night with him"
"She said, she had repented - her friend never want her to do that -
that was why she was sent out of the hostel"
Oboy didn't know where to stand and who to judge - it was dark, he always
feel she'll be kidnap.
Oboy gave her the last chance after hearing her diluted testimony of how
she got save and what happen in her room.
By 4am in the morning - a man appeared on oboy dream, oboy could nearly
believe what he said - but wasn't real. Something whispered on oboy earring
- wake up baby wake up baby, let's play the game. Oboy got up - this is sin
before God "Jesus christ" she had turn to snake. Can snake live in my room,
never. Can pithon live in my room, never. Can prostitute live in my room,
never.
She padlock the door - my only door with my key - what should I do? where
should I go? That wicked barracuda might've spy my land if perhaps I kept
silent.
When it happen I can't tell - my inward friend choke away manners from
my mind.
Somebody touch me. Who touch me? Only my spirituality understand. The
man on me that can tell. Last days of barracuda that knows. He had enjoyed
my favorite dream I had sworned.
Someone came knocking - I heard it the first time. He told us his
name. His name are Mouthpiece. I wouldn't mind to know; where he lives -
and she is sounding simple in her localized mother's tongue. I always shout
as usual - as Joseph did to portiphers wife.
Again, I heard anothers voice - male gender. She call to know his name
- but he said "None of above" I recognize the voice - but seems strange to
her by reaction. "Who is that?" She keep shouting. Before she shout - she
had wore back her dress. I shifted her by side as mother asking for
chance. I Pull the door forcefully and got broke by edge. Thoroughly, my
inner king does not lie - exactly what I heard. I found Obalinami shooking
hand with mouthpiece.
" Elizabeth, I think what she had sow is reaping fine" I caution myself.
"Please, spare my life.....let the past be donor"
Elizabeth had spy the church with her tender dissimulation and proved
now to be sincere. she want to re-repent and have genuine certificate.
But, is late she might've gotta choice to change and insisted labouring as
dove in darkness.
She was arrested out of choice. Youth boys and girls who had met her
before re-announced that she had stolen their mobile phones, laptops and
money.
She came wearing mask and that was during pastor chike stand on stage
reverting the message of salvation - he had preach before.
Am not fleshly sucked by any leech - crayfish sucked me. I never knew
she had been in hide from Obalinami. But, she's caught - I've seeing, new
testimony had arrived. I must share this in church - how I got saved from
crayfish dungeon. God really send Obalinami to watchnight my situation.
______________________________
My brother "Nfonibo" concluded in pieces the celebrant - and that was
me. He mosh our room as dear Cantor wokoma would likely do. Obalinami and
mouthpiece came in respect to my brothers invitation and sup - spoon to
spoon with us.
   ______________________________
On Friday evening, I and Obalinami came to the church entrance -
morethami and Nneka stood straight, as been turned to pillar and salt. We
saw them - in motion with knife. Miriam caught them by trouser - when dab,
as nigar wanem.
She works as an agent of police officer - and had been on position
since 2015. She is barren born from motherland.
Obalinami and his fellowed legion would've spare their life without a 
jail. But, they said " Man must swag" "Man must chop".
