See dat your matter wey dey pain me. One woman come my stall today, pick one basket of tomatoes, turn am upside down, squeeze am, smell am. She ask me, Mama Ngozi, why your tomatoes dey red like dis? I say, my child, na because dem ripe. She say, ah, you sure say dem no fake? I just look her. Fake tomato? Na wa o.

She begin bargain from ₦1,500 down to ₦800. I tell her, my child, market don close for dat kind price. You wan kill me? She say, but Mile 12 suppose be cheap. I say, Mile 12 cheap for who? For you wey dey buy for Victoria Island?

She buy small small for the end. As she dey go, she drop one tomato, carry am, blow am, wipe am for her gown. I swear, na so we dey suffer for dis Lagos. Who born these people? 🤦
