“He would take the back seat, everyone knows him very well. Better get used to him sitting at the back." Said the chief usher. “Wait, you mean the back back?” Asked Sister Shade who couldn’t hide even an iota of her curiosity. Because why a person so well dressed will want to get a seat only at the back baffles me. I would have called it low self esteem if it’s the other way round - a shabbily dressed nigger cunningly scouting for the back seat so as to not be seen by the sundry, but why this handsomely looking spiffy and dapper guy who is known for his swag and stylish choice of dressing? Sister Ore (who is known to prefer rather to sit at the ushers’ stand at the back of the church gossiping about others walking into the church than even listen to the sermon; stories has it that she has never sat at a spot for one minute before. The ushers have had problems with her moving out to urinate at every slightest opportunity. And when followed to the backyard, often, she is found just loitering about and looking for whom to gossip with.) continued, “Well, the story dates back to his childhood, I was told sometime ago that he was abused by his step mother who couldn’t bear a male child. Unfortunately, her usually public maltreatment has had its way into the poor boy’s head so that he sees himself as inferior to others. His dad later became very affluent but this didn’t cure his self-esteem. He is broken for ever. So I advise that you just keep allowing him the mercies of the back seat while we pray for him." 

Sister Shade couldn’t stop looking at her in disdain, “Sister Ore, you mean you are praying for him?” “Yes na, we all owe him that at least. Since we can’t undo his scars, we should be able to pray for him”. Sister Shade and Bro Sukanmi who had been listening from the lobules of his ears laughed. She didn’t seem to like that so she left them, walking towards Bro Matt also know for his talkativeness. He can be tagged safely the king of verbosity as he is always full of words and gist. Call him  "brother no dry moment" as he is also very funny. He makes jest of others too. During the last end of the year dinner of the church, sister Ore and Brother Matt were given the best couple match for their matching quality in terms of loqualoquaciousness. Oh, how they stunned the whole attendees of the dinner with their continual, non-stop talking to each other. They kept on talking and laughing through out the program.
