Pinky's CORNER

 This life ehn, you just need to place some people where they belong, otherwise they will keep getting you angry.

There is this landlady around my area (a widow). The woman likes buying things on credit, no matter how small, and she talks too much. 

Because she talks too much, I always fake a call whenever I’m passing by her house or whenever she beckons on me to greet or talk, otherwise I might end up standing there listening to unnecessary talk for an hour.

Most of the things she buys from me are on credit. The last charger head she bought last year till now, she is still owing me ₦500. 

Recently, she said she needed a good charger head that a generator cannot destroy (pin that word “generator”). That word made me realize that her generator has been the one destroying those chargers, and this happens when your generator isn’t stable (fluctuating current). 

I gave her a 100W charger, and three days later, she said the charger wasn’t working. I was surprised. I blamed myself for not testing it in her presence before giving it to her, and also for always selling to her on credit. She asked me for another one.

Instead of giving her the same kind of charger again, I picked a very low‑watt charger and tested it in the presence of three people without telling her. After four days again, she sent it back to me, saying the charger wasn’t working and demanded another one. 

That was when I went to her and proved to her that she was wrong with that attitude. She started making trouble. I showed some people the video of the charger when I was testing it, and they heard in the video when I said, “This woman will later return this charger and say it’s not working.” 

To cut the long story short, this woman denied spoiling the charger and refused to pay, but I made sure I collected the ₦500 balance she had been owing me since last year. Since then, we don’t greet each other again and I love that.

Yesterday, she sent her son to buy a charger from me and gave him ₦2,000 to balance ₦3,000. I rejected it and told him to tell his mum that I don’t sell on credit again.
Now she has reported me to almost everyone on the street, but I don’t care. Even the people on that street know her very well with her ogbon jibiti (419 brain).

 Thank God my landlord is not in Nigeria and she doesn’t even know the person who owns the house. I’m very sure she wouldn’t mind telling my landlord to send me packing, because I know how wicked some people can be.
