The Day Compound Gist Nearly Set Everywhere on Fire

    In No. 14, Alafia Street, the face-me-I-face-you compound was a small universe of its own. Eight rooms, one long corridor, two bathrooms that always had “wait your turn” traffic, and one big compound where all wahala and amebo blossomed.

    That Sunday afternoon, the compound was unusually quiet—until Mama Peace, the self-appointed “Minister of Internal Affairs,” spotted something suspicious.

    She was plucking scent leaves by the bathroom when she saw Kemi, the young tailor from Room 3, sneaking in with a brand-new polythene bag. The bag wasn’t the problem—it was who followed her in. A tall man with shiny shoes, not her fiancé.

     

    Mama Peace’s eyes lit up like NEPA just brought light. She ducked behind the clothesline, pretending to spread her wrapper, but ears working overtime.Within minutes, she had already marched to Room 6 to “greet” Mama Iyabo.

     

    > “Iyabo, you won’t believe wetin my eyes just saw. If I no talk now, e go be like say I no dey my duty. That Kemi… she don bring another man wey no be Tunde. And the man fine o, fine like person wey dey work in bank.”

    By the time the gist reached Mama Bisi in Room 1, it had evolved:

    > “Kemi’s husband came back from abroad, and he caught her with another man inside her room. They say the man even park car outside.”

    Children were sent on “errands” just so adults could gather by the tap to confirm details. Each time the story passed through a new mouth, it collected extra pepper and onions.

    By evening, Tunde himself arrived, holding a loaf of bread.councilre cosilent, went silent like someone pressed pause. Mama Peace, of course, “innocenpast himked psaid,im and said:

    > “Ah, Tunde, you are back? You hear wetin people dey talk?”

    The poor man froze, bread in hand. And just like that, Sunday evening service in the compound turned inton hall meeting.
