E no easy for me o, but I rugged am. E get when e reach sef, e kon be like say her kpomo wan swallow me. I thin well, well, and she too big, that place spread like 3 people own. I never see that type before, all the girls wey I dey gbensh for area no get that size, their own still dey tight, e dey even pain me sometimes, no be all of them dey carry water. Mama Uka own cream eeh, na my size, everything fit, water dey rush. Oya, make I no lie sha, the thing sweet me different.
She no change am for me say I dey wunjure her or make I allow her rest small. She just dey shout, still dey collect the thing like person wey never chop since. When I finally reach the ending, my shoulders kon rise, like one big boy wey win lottery, she no quick stand up, everywhere don weak. Na so she look me, with large smile for her face …

All those women wey dey carry their baby come, dey buga for me, make I dey kpai dey swallow saliva anyhow, I go show them say my own baby don arrive and you set pass their own. Shebi you get better cloth and shoes wey you go wear? I no want make you dress like boi boi follow me”
Matthew; chai, I no get o. You sef dey see wetin I dey wear come work, I no get any better cloth or shoes wey I fit wear go party, na why I no dey go that kain thing”
Mama Uka; that one no be issue. By 11 o clock tomorrow morning, make you come meet me for shop, I go carry you enter that boutique wey dey busstop, make you select few things, dem dey sell shoes sef for there” …
By the time we finish all the arrangements, e don reach 11 o clock for night, she say make I first comot for the hotel, say she go leave later. Dem no born me well make I trek again, with the kain plenty money wey dey my pocket. Na muscle I take halla okada to carry me go house. Pepper dey rest wella for my pocket, na to go open account remain. I no go dey keep money for house again.
I just dey reason say I carry wetin suppose make me big boy since, naim I dey suffer anyhow, dey waste am for all those girls for hood, wey no dey gimme anything, instead, na me dey drop 2h or 5h, sometimes, just to collect. No be say e no dey sweet them o, choi. Like this, I don hammer.
My mama wan change am for me as I enter house, because na almost 12 midnight. Na so I carry 5kpa flash am for face, she shock. Small fear been wan catch am, whether I don dey follow bad people, I tell am to chilax, say na big work I do for Mama Uka and she pay me wella, say she fit go ask am. Na so my maale begin dance o, kon hug me. I tell am to cool down, say I don get better work now, I go dey find am something, small, small.
The next day, Mama Uka carry me enter the boutique, fear no gree me touch anything, as I see the amount for the label. I never enter that kain place before, say I dey find wetin? When she see say I no get liver to pick anything, she kon begin pick for me. She pick 4 jeans and 6 tops with 3 sneakers, say make I go taste them. If una see how the clothes take me eeh, e be like say na me dem see take make the jeans and tops, abi na the sneakers? Big boy no pass like this o.
When we finish, she say make I follow am go shop to collect the phone, the person don bring am come. We reach her shop, one man carry small nylon give am, she collect am, pass am to me, say make I open am. I wan run mád. Na one big techno phone dey inside, my hand just dey shake as I dey turn the carton round, be me like film trick, like say she go still collect the phone from me. She say make I go house go keep clothes wey she buy for me, and come back, make we go the party.
She still give me 2kpa, make I use fly bike. Na so I rush dey go house, she even tell me the clothes wey I go wear, if I dey come back, and shoes wey match am.
When I reach house, wear the clothes, keep the rest, kon charge the new phone small, arrange my sim inside, I rush begin go back to Mama Uka shop. As I reach, she say make I go that hotel go wait for am, say she wan collect one round take hold body, before we enter the party.
Wetin I do am for the hotel eeh, e pass the first one wey I do am. I no even remember say I go carry her enter shower or worry about all the sweat wey full the kpomo, I chop everything without brake. I use mouth, hand, gbola, e remain small sef, make I use leg. Mama Uka just be me like one angel wey come to change my life, na my gbola dey pay for am, and e worth am. Big gbola wey sabi work na better money o. God carry better blessing put for my body, I no know, naim I just dey suffer since. Mama Uka say I be guru, small body, big machine.
If una see as I balance for Mama Uka jeep, with can beer wey she give me, as she dey drive dey go the party. First time for my life wey I enter that kain car, ac dey wipe me for body, I sidon like fowl wey rain touch.
The party no be small pikin party. Rich women wey get better raba. Their body be like glass, just be like na from obodo oyibo all of them from come, all of them wear gold, with clothes wey dey shine enter eyes. See as them dey spray money like say na water. People just dey match money dey waka.
Na for that party my life change gan gan. The things wey Mama Uka dey do for me na something hooge, but wetin my eyes see next, Mama Uka dey learn for that side …
