I no go ever forgot dis year sallah. Since wen I run comot for my village, Ogbomosho come Lagos becos of Arike, I never enjoy sallah like dis for Lagos.

I no ever go anybody house go do sallah before becos I dey always see am as long troat.

Na im make, every odun, if I no wan put my guonguoro for road, I go just relax for house with my family.

But yesterday I go gbadun gan.

Idowu our Union Treasurer invite all of us for our garage wey dey for near Ikeja under bridge. E say make we come do dis year sallah with im family. Na im make none of our union member show face for our taxi park yesterday wey be di main di main odun. All of us dey Idowu house for Egbeda.

Before I reach Jimoh house, all our union member dem don show. Dem say na Akpan first arrive, follow by Emeka before orders. Na me appear last.

By dat time, Idowu and im family don go prayer ground come back. As e come, e quick, quick organize Alaye Boys dem make dem kill di ram wey e been go buy for Mile 12 market last week.

Before you close your eye open, dem don kill di ram, pump air full im body, pour am hot water and begin use razor blade scrap di hair comot for im body, butcher am and pass am to sisi dem make dem cook am.

E no reach two hour, sallah food don ready.

Idowu first serve us Our Usual one by one. Idowu sabi wetin every body dey shack. Na so Idowu nack every body four bottle each. Tori Olorun!

Small time Idowu family serve us food. Come see di big, big meat for inside di food!

Na dat yesterday Idowu show us all im wife and im pikin dem.
