......I bought some yams, plantain,and other foodstuffs,I arranged them outside and some customers patronized me..

But Nathan was calling he needed money,so i had to resume hawking....

I'd leave Mimi at home, with her food in the flask and go hawking,father was able to take proper care of her for me until I am back,as I can not rely on mother....

In Two weeks i was able to raise enough money And sent to Nathan,it was about 25,000 but he called complaining that the money wasn't enough,I didn't know what to do,as that was all I could raise.....

It was a Sunday evening, when the land lord came with quit notice for all the occupant,he said he wanted to renovate his house,,,we were confused, getting a new apartment wasn't going to be easy,as one must pay some months ahead,that money wasn't available...

But thankfully we had three months befor leaving,I believed that would give us all enough time to look for money,I thought....

Finally Nathan was done with his first year, and he had come home for break before the resumption of another level....

He was home doing nothing, neither was mother,I was getting tired of the whole thing, going to hawk morning and evening,with a little baby that needs me wasn't easy,I am human after all.....

One evening,after our dinner,I summoned the courage to speak....

Mother, father, I'd like to speak to everyone of us...I Said politely....

My child, are you fine,what is it,I hope all is well with you and Eloghosa,father asked concerned.....

Father I am fine,the baby is fine too .. I said...

Okay my child,you may speak,he said....

Mother, father,I have been thinking,you know we have been given a quit notice,we have to eat in this house, Osato has bill's to pay in school,and Nathan too would be needing money when going back to school,and this business of mine is almost the only source of Income in this house for now,,,,so I'd suggest we expand the business as a family,I said....

Aha, that is good oh,it will be a nice idea if you can expand it,at least that would bring more money, mother said

Yes mother, buying more goods, selling and going to buy again would bring more money, same way it will need more hands,I can't possibly meet up to all these needs all by myself, couple with the fact that I have Mimi to take care of,so I am thinking if,if if Osato and even Nathan,if possible could join me in my businessssssssss

Ehennnn, Esohe,what rubbish did you just let out of your mouth,that my children should join you in hawking yam, plantain and what have you,ahhhhhaa,may that mouth you use in saying that rubbis h never open again,mother said raining all manner of insults on me.....

Wait, Ese you want me Osatohanmwem to go hawk yam, cocoyam and tomatoes on the streets of Benin,aha,you are definitely not serious,she said.....

Esohe,are you insane,or you are almost insane,you want I, Nathaniel an undergraduate if medicine to be involved in street hawking,you must need a mental evaluation, Nathan said angrily and walked out, Osato walked out too,not without A long hiss....

When next you open that mouth of yours to spill this kind of rubb ish, you'd have yourself to blame, useless thing,you had better clear these dishes,mother said with along hiss and walked away....

I took the plates and I was about walking inside when father called me....

Esohe,I know how you feel,I really do,just know that anything you choose to do,I am solidly behind you,father said .. .

Thank you father,I said and cleared the dishes....

I went inside the bedroom,my baby was already asleep i sat on the foam, resting my head on the wall, thinking about my life....

Does it mean I am only but a money making machine to these people,they treat me with so much disdain,like I am beneath them,I have been reduced to a modern slave,how in the name of God do I deserve these,why has life been so unfair to me,this can not go on,I can't continue to live like this,I can't do all of these by myself,I can't be carrying a whole family,who doesn't even see me as family,,,I may have promised Nathan I'd support his education,but I think it's high time I thought about myself,,since these people do not want to work,or render a helping hand,I would have to think twice...I am going to meet mama Ada to take me to her fashion designing friend tomorrow, I'd be useful to myself,at least learn a trade, though closing early so that I'd go hawking in the evening to save up something for necessities....I thought within me,soon I fell asleep....

Life went on,I had gone to see mama Ada's friend, the CEO A n A fashion ,she had charged me, giving me a fair amount and other things to be brought because of mama Ada.,.

I was working hard to look for money for all I needed. 

Nathan came to me that morning asking me for about 10,000 Naria, pleading that he had an urgent fee to pay in school else he'd be asked to leave the school,he was pleading with all seriousness and sincerity,I had compassion on him and gave him the money as I wouldn't want him sent out of school....

He was very happy,he hugged me beautifully.....

I arranged my goods in the evening but I wasn't fine,my body system was weak,my legs couldn't really carry me well,but I needed money, especially being a weekend, there was this customer who usually buys alot of yam Fridays and Saturdays,I really didn't want to disappoint her,I had to manage to go, specially because of her,it was my plan that I'd sell the little I could before I get to her,sell to her,and return home....

I Left Mimi with father, telling him I'd be back soon,in less that an hour,I took some goods and off I went...

I was able to sell one or two before I got to my customer,upon getting to her place,I met the shock of my life......
