My Friend the "Mechanic"

Everybody for my area knows my friend Thompson. According to him, there is nothing he cannot repair. Phone, fan, blender, generator—you just need to hear him say, "Relax, I sabi am."😂

One day, my standing fan stopped working. I carried it to his house. He smiled and said, "Na small thing. Give me five minutes."

Five minutes turned to one hour.

One hour turned to three hours.

When I asked, "Guy, how far?" I was getting tired😭

He wiped sweat from his face and replied, "The fan stubborn small."

By evening, the fan was in pieces. Screws were everywhere. Even me wey bring the fan begin wonder whether na fan or motorcycle I carry come.

Finally, Thompson looked at me and said, "I get good news and bad news."

I said, "Start with the good news."

He smiled proudly. "The good news be say I don discover the problem."

"So wetin be the bad news?"

He scratched his head and said, "I no remember where the remaining screws dey."😭😂

That day, I carried my fan home inside nylon bag instead of carton. Since then, anytime Thompson says, "I fit repair am," I just smile and reply, "Abeg, make e remain like this."
