Tales of two funny ritualist Episode 8
NEXT DAY
The next day which is Sunday. We quickly woke up. One thing I love about us is that we don’t Joke with church at all. We are strong believers and I love that.
I ran outside to brush my teeth when I heard.
“PAAA”
“PAA PAA”
“PAA”
“PAA PAA PAA”
Mallam Musa: today na today. Because I dey leave am por you ever since you think am say you fit win me ko?

Mallam Musa: kai I no see am walahi, repeat am again.
Baba Ayo: ah mallam musa!!
We arrived early at church and as usuall, we sat the front sit. As we saw that people were not trooping in,side, we kept our bible and moved to the back seat.
Just then, the ushers started doing their work. We scrutinized a lot of ynash or should I say ynashes, big and small, fat and lean, heavy and light.
After that, we walked back to our seat as the sermon was about to take place.
The sermon began and everything was going on really fine. Just then, the pastor shouted.
Pastor: give your neighbour a slap of victory.
I turned around and the person that was besides me was very huge and muscular. He was the person that attacked us last month, KILLER.
Me: flex, see killer oo.
I said whispering to him.
Donflex: na true. Time to revenge all the beating wey he give me o.
Me: how?
Flex: by giving him the slaps of victory.
Flex came close to the guy and
“POOAAAAA”
“POOAAAAA”
“POOAAAAA”
Me: na me go loose?
I joined my friend and we started giving him the slaps of victory.
“POOAAAAA” “POOAAAAA”
“POOAAAAA” “POOAAAAA”
Killer: my eyes oo!!
He shouted, the amazing thing was that he couldn’t revenge. No be church whereabout dey? Abi you expect am to revenge?
Pastor: ushers! Ushers!!!!!
He shouted and ushers started running in.
Pastor: stop them oo. Please the slaps of victory is enough o.
Congregation: hahahahaha.
They all laughed as the ushers tried separating us. Soon enough, his face was red, very very red.
Me: chaiii, the slaps was sweet o.
Killer: *feeling embarrassed* he brought out a handkerchief and covered his face.
Flex: if we stay here this guy go kill us after service o.
Me: na true o. Make we better run for our dear life.
We stood up and zoomed off not minding the fact that people were just looking at us as if we were mad. Na dem sabi. As for me, I don avenge the beating wey dey give my friend.
