AMOPE, THE GHOST MARKET WOMAN.

This life is a complex web of mysteries and full of strange creatures walking on the surface of the earth without any challenge.

At the centre of Makoko market, Amope is a popular merchant of fresh vegetables but nobody knows of her nocturnal activities when the birds no longer chirp gibberish to restless ears of human beings.

This 65-year-old woman belongs to the ‘spiritual’ world but in real life, always friendly to people around her. There is one hidden eye at the centre of Amope’s forehead, only the spiritually-fortified people can notice this third eye.

At the end of the market day, Amope transforms into a giant rat and walk on two legs with two hands massaging the head, as she disappears into the thick of the forest, Amope screams if remotely-controlled by unseen spirits, “Here I come again, back to my roots as a four-legged human being not seen by eyes of two-legged species of Homo sapiens. I shall return to the market, again and again, to sell my fresh vegetables and tomatoes to gullible human beings, they have eyes but cannot see me.”

Amope died in a tragic motor accident many years ago but her spirit still wandering around the earth, yet to rest in perfect peace. She was burnt beyond recognition along with other unfortunate passengers, they all travelled when the road was crudely famished and thirsty for the fresh blood of human beings.

TO BE CONTINUED…..AYE MOJUBA OOO.
