Agon of New Year’s Eve (part 1)
By Joseph Chibwe
30 Last Junuary 2015 in the morning still asleep and dreaming dancing at TAITANIC NIGHT CLUB in Solwezi, my phone rung NGRIIIII NGRIIII NGRIIIii… and so I woke up, checked on the screen; “INCOMING CALL… ROSE CALLING…,” Before I could place the phone on my Ear I checked from both side of the bed and after dicovering that Bana Joe had already gone outside to sweep,
I answereed njebele, “Yes my sweet Roze!”
Chi Girlo ati; Bashi Joe, Don’t you want to spend a night in my house with me?
Njebele yeah that’s whatsup baby!
Ati; “Then just come with 2 bottles of RED LABEL, some Ice Packets and we gona Party the all night!”
Njebele; “Iwe Rose are you sure?”
Chi gelo ati; “Yes am sure!”
Njebele; “Not when I came there wambe ati no Bashi Joe no Bashi Joe…”
Chi gelo ati; “No am gona be all yours my darling!”
Njebele “deal!”
Bakamba I quickly rose up from the bed and started making Red label fund-raising plans! I got the trouser that I was putting on the previous night, tried to retrieve some starters from the pockets but there was huge financial vacuum in the pockets, only K50 was found! Njebele “No ways I just have 2 buy those 2 bottles of Red labels!
I dressed up, came outside but bypassed ba Madam and footed down into the road going to see my friend Shi Ben in order to borrow some money! Before I could reach Shi Ben’s house, I found a huge group of our comboni women confused as they Discussed and debated what the CONSTITUTION ASSENTIMENT meant! As I listened carefully to their debate, I then realised that all of them had wrong data regarding the pending Constitution Assention! So I decided to make some money for RED LABEL bottles out of their ignorance! I rushed into an INTERNET CAFE and ordered the boy to Print some 50 Tickets for me which appears like this;-
CONSTITUTION ASSENTION CHILDREN SHOW
VENUE: HEROES STADIUM
DATE: 5th JANUARY 2016

Umwaiche attendant ati, “but Bosses, the Event that shall take place is not a children Show but an historic public event and all citizens are been invited to attend and its free!”
Njebele “Mwaiche don’t be sichopet ai! Kamani can you print the Tickets! What do you know about making money? Bloody basket!”
After heavy debate with the boy, he decided to get rid of me by simply printing my fake and crooked Tickets!
And I walked out to sell the Tickets to those Constitutional blank comboni women!
