Still on the Awoof Matter: #Fall Yakata Christmas Sale#

Na wah for people o, especially us, Nigerians. Una too like awoof.

Habatically!

When I spent hours coming up with articles to paste on my blog just to make people laugh, na beg we take beg o say make una read. Na by force sef the blog views dey take reach 500 per day.
When I write funny blogs (abi iz not funny nii?) to make everyone laugh and drown the stress of Nigeria, hian! Una no gree. And it’s not like it’s my fault if your problems are far outweighing my funny posts o.

I posted Christmas sales and suddenly, my blog views pass Linda Ikeji & Bella Naija’s own (they told me themselves na). As the views kept increasing, the questions started trooping in per second basis. Even peeps that have never as much said hello, I suddenly became important. Funny questions started coming, “How are you?”(Do you even know my name?), “I have missed you o” (never seen this person before in my life), “How’s that your fine husband by the way?”(Who in God’s name are you talking about? You don see am before?), “How’s your mother in law?”(If anything happens to her, you are finished because I know you DO NOT know her from any angle. Who asks for one’s mother in law ahn ahn?”). One even went ahead to ask, “How are your children & their nanny?” (Na you carry them for womb within that space of time? And Nanny? Seriously? Because of fall Yakata sales?”).

Anyway, after the Christmas sales post, the small talk became bastardised and I was assaulted with them. When all ridiculous enquiries have been exhausted, the questions started coming in droves, “what time is it starting”? (You no dey read your mail or the website no clear for ya computer?), “Am I to pay on delivery or instant payment online”? (Your question take style legit sha), “Can I get a TV, Gen and Inverter during this sale?” (Na wah o, people are wicked sha. So after the sale, make all of us for company close down go dey sell Moringa seed abi? Awon ota aje), “Can I give you cash for 15 Tecno phones so I resell?” (Haaaa, aiye yii ma nika o. 15 tecno phones!!! Only one perzin. May God judge you o!), “Teju, can I pay some money to your account so you help make purchase of a list of items I will send to your mail as soon as it is 9:00am on Friday”? (Rara, I will not only stay by the computer to quickly purchase them, I will even take the whole day off so I can shop for you. Lemme even send my boss the mail now to notify him in advance. Ika eniyan).

Trust me, the questions were endless. Some people are even upset with me already sef and have yanked me off their bb and Facebook, and even LinkedIn o, just because I refused to give them the address of the location where all the goods are situated, as they want to come and pick by themselves.( Na bend down select? )Haaaa! People are wicked. Should such people make heaven, like seriously, should they? Despite the fact that prices are going to be slashed ridiculously and even out of wedlock for that matter, they want discount again. You do not even need to pay o when the dispatch delivers to you. Just collect what your ancestors have worked for from him. Ahn ahn!

Anyway, I was able to liaise with the team responsible for the advent of this upcoming sale and they were able to come up with some FAQ’s to attend to some raised queries.
However, if after reading the FAQ’s below and your answer does not seem to be included, it is very possible your question was so ridiculous I just did not bother to forward to the necessary team, or the answers are simply being formed from the scratch and like evolution, it is just being formed, letter by letter. We sent a mail to Albert Einstein regarding your question and he is yet to respond. Please hold as your enquiries are important to us. Kindly exercise patience while we try and come up with the appropriate responses by Tuesday December 3rd 2013.

I hope that date is okay by you?

O better!

So be nice and print out this article, but ensure you share the article first.

Over & out.




Alien words used within the article:

Awoof - Love of free things, anything at all that will cost next to nothing, or nothing, if given the chance.

Na wah- There is really no meaning to this meaningless phrase.

Una too like awoof - Phrase meaning one loves the thought of free things. And I am not talking about water and air. I am referring to cases where one can get something that ordinarily one has not earned or worked for but hoping to get the best out of it. In this case/article, awoof refers to a totally unbelievably & ridiculously low price.

Na beg we take beg  o- meaning one is pleading excessively than the required dosage per day. That's why some people float on air.

Hian- A word expressing scorn like anger. It is usually said while making a funny click of both hands.

Ota aje- Enemy of progress. They exist everywhere o. Just look closely, especially people that price items sinfully, like cutting down price of product from 5000 to 1500.

Aiye yii ma nika o- A phrase expressing the state of wickedness in the world.

Ika eniyan – meaning a wicked person and usually said with the nose slightly turned up on one side.

Awon Ibeji Fashola- Lagosians will know who they are. Hehehehe. Turn to a Lagosian today and start a conversation with the question: "Who is referred to as "awon ibeji Fashola?". And who knows, that may be your spouse you will be asking. Loool
