Immediately he saw me, he shouted, “Customer! Customer! Shebi na ₦500 own you want?”

He smiled immediately and said, “Ahh, today good o! This one you want ₦1,000 own. Before na ₦500 suya you dey buy. I don sabi you well well.”
I just laughed. “Na so nah. Today good. Abeg give me correct ₦1,000 own… and cut plenty onions put inside.”
He said, “No wahala. Today wey you buy plenty, I go package am well for you.”
As he was slicing the onions, I still reminded him again, “Please o, I love onions, you have to add more.”
He said, “Okay.”
After that, he wanted to sprinkle small pepper on the suya.
I said, “No o, this one no go reach, please add more pepper.”
He looked at me and said, “Haaa! You know say no be ordinary pepper. Na yaji.”
I said, “Yes na, I know. That’s why I’m telling you to add more.”
He started explaining how strong yaji spice is and how people even use it to cook food.
I said, “Exactly! Na wetin I dey talk. Add more for me.”
He added small again and wanted to close it.
I still stopped him.
“No, no… this one still no do. Abeg, add more.”

I said, “I’m not complaining. Just add am. I know wetin I dey do.”
He shook his head but still added more.
