I was contemplating whether to buy banana tonight because I've eaten too much of it lately. But this woman's own were so big that I couldn't resist them. I eventually branched to buy some.
As I was pricing the bananas, another woman selling peppered pomo nearby was advertising her market: “Ẹ jẹ pọ̀mọ mi!” which means “Eat my pomo.”
I was like,what kind of advertising is this?
I looked in her direction to see the pomo, and honestly, I liked how she packaged everything. It looked clean, covered and well-arranged. The pomo itself was exactly the type I like: thick, well-peppered and inviting.
I said, woh, let me patronise this woman too.
Madam, how do you sell?
She didn't hear me because she was busy calling out to customers: “Ẹ jẹ pọ̀mọ mi!”
So I moved closer and said, “Madam, àwa tá a fẹ́ jẹ pọ̀mọ yín là dé yìí. Which means we who want to eat your pomo are here.
How do you sell? I've been asking you since. I hope it's soft?”
She laughed and said, “Haa, ẹ ò tii jẹ pọ̀mọ mi rí? Ẹ try ẹ, ẹ máa gbádùn ẹ!”
Meaning, “Ah, you've never tasted my pomo before? Try it, you'll enjoy it.”
I said, okay, package ₦3k worth for me.
That was how I ended up buying banana and pomo 😂
when i was six, armed robbers came to rob us at night. my dad instinctively went into self-defense mode with a cutlass before he even realized they had guns.
luckily, my great grandmother was sitted in the sitting when they released rounds at my dad, but in the blink of an eye she raised her hand up and the bullets turned to groundnuts and she caught them, and immediately disarmed the robbers and turned their guns to bananas and we all ate it as our night food
