Mr Molusi, an electrical engineer and a manager in the engineering department of an international ground handling company in the Nigeria international airport suddenly dropped the spoon with which he was eating in the company's canteen.
He did this because a mischievous thought dropped into his heart, he stood up hastily to go to their locker room to spy on his junior officers that left the canteen a while ago. Why he was moved to do this he himself did not know.
Were he to be another person with decorum, he would simply yank off such thought from his heart, but he is Molusi a man who feeds on pain and terror inflicted on the less privileged or the weak.
All the staffs in this engineering department fear him like they would a lion on the prowl, behind him they called him Mr terror, though they did not know that he knew they called him Mr Terror, but he knew and enjoyed them calling him this.
He hate the two guys he wanted to spy on in a dreadful way, the reason for this hatred was because they seldom tremble when he showed up in the workshop like other staffs, he believed they have occultic attachment to their life, that must be the reason his own occultic power do not terrified them. In a way he was right about this because one of them is a son of a great Witchdoctor, but in the other way the other is a Christian and he was wrong about him been occultic.
However, something has been baffling him of late, it has been two times that he has unconsciously given a gift to the one he hate most among the two.
On those two occasions, after the guy left he pondered on his action and queried himself for giving those gifts to him and he could not find a justified reasons for the gift, so he concluded that the guy must be casting a compulsive spell on him. May be this was the reason he unconsciously followed them by instinct to spy on them.
Or it is due to the way Ojo whom he hate most dragged Femi whom he hate less off his food, and they moved hastily out of the canteen.
Whichever, he had followed them and he hope he would catch them doing a mischievous thing that will give him room to write something horrible to the headquarters against them
When he got close to the locker room where they were, he perched behind the door next to them, and the first thing he heard from Ojo was this question to his friend Femi, "Femi you know I do not understand you, why are you dragging your foot about your planned proposition to this NYSC girl?"
In Nigeria, NYSC means National youth Service corps, it is a programme designed for fresh graduates through which they will give one year unpaid service to the country. And each graduate will be posted to a region of the country he or she is not from so that he can get to know more about other tribes in the country.
So the girl Ojo is talking about was posted or attached to this company to do her one year of free service to the nation here, and her name is Itunu.
Femi answered and said, "I do not want her to see me as one of the ants that is why I am distancing myself from her, don't you see the way every guy in the workshop were hovering around her like they have not seen a girl before"
Ojo replied, "Why must you let that bother you it is bound to happen in this engineering department where we rarely see girls because girls were not given to engineering work, even she was posted here because of her little computer knowledge. You better do what you have to do, the girl will choose the person she loved among all of you and I know she will choose you"
Femi replied, "Look my friend my ways are different from your ways, I cannot give myself headache, I cannot befriend a girl that all men want to carry like ants struggling over a grain of sugar."
Ojo said, "Sometimes you annoyed me with this your I don't want trouble attitude, look I am going to force you to talk to this girl because she is a goldmine"
"What do you mean by she is a goldmine," Femi asked and Ojo replied, "You know I told you I want to go the second pretty youth corp girl?" Femi said, "Yes, why have you not talked to her at least no one is troubling that one as pretty as she is?"
Ojo replied, "That exactly is the reason I will not talk to her, she is a girl with bad omen any one who walked with her will be jinxed!"
Hearing this Femi exclaimed, "Ah, Ojo why are you saying bad thing about this innocent girl, how do you know she carries bad omen?"
Ojo looked at him and said, "Did I not tell you that my Father is the leading Witch Doctor in our village?" Femi answered and said, "Yes you told me, but what has that got to do with her?
" A lot! my father always said that I must not marry a girl that her aura is not compatible with mine, so before I would talk to any girl I must verify from the Oracles whether her aura is good or not. And when I checked that girl out, she is a girl with horrible negative aura.
Any man who mate with her will experience misfortunes after misfortune until he is destroyed!" Femi exclaimed, "Wow, that is serious, no wonder people are not drawn to her even though she is more beautiful and even flirty! How about Itunu, did you check her out?
Ojo answered, " Yes, that is the reason I told you she is a goldmine, she is not beautiful but whoever marry that girl and treat her as queen will move from favour to favour until he is on top of this world, if not that you have been talking so much about her I would have gone for her after that revelation"
Femi said, "I am not stopping you, if you want her you can join the ants that are hovering over her, at least you have gone to check her aura"
This statement angered Ojo and he said, "So you can do that to me, you can jump over my interest without minding our friendship?
Femi replied and said, " I can't do that and I cannot go behind you also to check the aura of a girl you have in your heart without your consent"
Ojo said, "You are making mistake Femi" Femi answered, "Put me right then" "I did not go out of my way checking her aura, I did not even go home to check that other girl's aura, I went home to check something else and their case propped up"
Their case propped up Ojo, don't lie to me, is it not what a person asked the oracles that the oracles will talk about?" Femi asked.
Ojo answered and said, You are right, and it was what I asked the oracle that led to your girl in particular, ask me how? Femi asked , "How?"
You remembered I told you that Mr Terror has given gifts to me twice and I told you I am worried about his strange gifts." Femi said yes I do remembered that.
Ojo continued, "That sudden strange gifts from him worried my soul and I was afraid the man may intend to harm me through gifts, so I went home to confirm from the oracles. But when the oracles were consulted they told me that it was because I gave that girl money for transport that was the reason Mr Terror unconsciously give me something.
The second gift from him also came because I bought her gift. When I heard this I asked the Oracle that is it every time a person give something to her that a person will received something in returned from other people?
The Oracles said yes, that her aura is programmed by the gods to walk that way, that those who blessed her will be blessed and those who hurt her will be hurt!"
"Do you know what you just said is in the Bible" Femi asked and Ojo asked, "Is that, I don't know"
"It is in there, God said that to Father Abraham, that girl must be unique then! Femi said and Ojo answered, " Apologised to me first before you will begin to say the girl is unique, were you not saying bad thing about me before?"
Femi said, "I am sorry, I did not know that it happened this way?" Ojo told him, "That is why you must be slow to pass judgement another time on issues that you have not thoroughly understand, by the way break time is over let us go into the workshop"
When Mr Terror heard this he hastily ran with light foot out of where he hide himself and ran ahead of them into the workshop thinking in his heart, "So that Itunu girl is a goldmine!"
