Ogonma is a very beautiful girl...At Eighteen years of age, she had developed into a full grown woman...Having all the curves and contours in the right places.....
Her Mother noticed changes in her movement and called her to order..." Men are bad, she advised...They will tell you all sorts of things just to sleep with you...Once they get what they want , they will dissapear and you might end up with an unwanted pregnancy....That will ruin your life"...He mother warned.....
But Ogonma was enjoying the attention she got from riveting eyes and Playboys...Soon enough, she got a boyfriend for herself.....Then the inevitable happened....Her Mothers worst fears we're confirmed...Ogonma became pregnant!!!!!
The Father and Mother called a meeting, they invited their good neighbors to come...Oga Kingsley and his wife, Pastor Felix and his wife were all there at the meeting....It would be a bleak Christmas for the Family....
" Who is responsible? Her father shouted at her... Who is responsible for this Pregnancy?? He continued....Her mother in tears would chip in....." Ogonma tell us who did this" who did this .....
From the distance , the voice of Arabanko, the street drunkard could be heard...He had gotten himself drunk to stupor.....He was singing a Christmas Carol , he heard it from a church as he was making his way back home...He tried to sing along.....Arabankos Voice got closer and closer, the melody soon would be heard...The meeeting about Ogonma would pause briefly.....All ears were listening to the Drunken Arabanko!!!!
" Felix na the dad, Felix na the dad, Felix na the dad.......I dey tell you Felix the dad".......
Pastor Felix looked stupefied...All eyes were on him now...His mouth has shaped into an O.....It wasnt him..he knew that for sure....
His wife dragged him by the collar and so ended the meeting abruptly......
The Words of a Drunk on Christmas Eve......
Happy Christmas Everyone....
Feliz Navidad!!!!
