A Weird interview session with one tired Nigerian(OTN) and an interviewer(IN)

IN: Live

OTN: I’m exhausted, I’ve seen how unreasonable this life is to manhandle me with so much carelessness and extreme injustice. So no!

IN: Fight

OTN: Wait is that a joke?

If you seek to make me your object of ridicule then tell me that, laugh at me for all the fights I’ve fought and lost, the physical scars as obvious as the emotional ones.

IN: Heal

OTN: I’ve accepted that every human lives to die, this place just makes it faster, makes the journey horrific, provides zero peace while serving extreme injustice, what sense is there to heal and wound again?

IN: Pray?

OTN: For what?

IN: For…

OTN:(laughs) For Jerusalem?

IN: How do you even find humor in this?

OTN: You asked that I prayed for this… place, like you don’t clearly see the Zabiba on my forehead, you keep asking like you don’t see and it irks me, so instead of lashing out I laugh, It’s a coping mechanism.

IN: If you could correct all of these, how would you do it?

OTN: How would you?

IN: By prioritizing peace and seeking justice?

OTN: (Laughs) Adorable.

The End.
