What Should I Do?

by Amara

My DNB people, make una see me see wahala o!

I went for the burial of a friend’s grandfather somewhere in Anambra State and in that village, when someone dies, an elderly man will come up and tell who is next to die.

So this man came along and said that the next person to die is the one who decides to leave the burial ground first.

Friends, since yesterday morning, I still dey there o!

Nobody wan first go, everybody just lie down for here.

Even one old man sef at age of 92 is lying down beside me, and he is asking me if my people have not started looking for me?

As I speak to you now, I’m still lying down.

Please what should I do next?
