You No Go Sort Me Out?

‘Chale, I dey go house wey my fuel short. Make you sort me out.’

Impetuous, inane, puerile ... thing; moulding pie with putrid hubris for filling. Demanding dough with a sense of entitlement. I stone-face him, power up the window and cruise down Spintex Road.

‘Oh, you no go sort me out?’ he barks.

He does not say ‘please’ once. In my rear-view mirror, he’s already trudging up Spintex Road.

    1. I'm sorry, but too many young people do not say 'please' (and in my personal experience, it is the boys mostly).

  2. Imagine that. I experienced this two years ago. Gave the elderly man GHC5 and he did not even say Thank you! He acted as if it was my duty.
