One thing is to chew gum; Another is to chew it properly.
Ever taken a long pause to observe the faces of those that chew gum improperly?- they look like Yaba-left materials.
An encounter at a road-side kiosk was a bit of an eye-opener, for me...
''Aunty yo-yo'', as we fondly call her, was fumbling with her waist purse, in a bid to get the recharge card I asked for.

She was nice to me, though. I mean, it's not everyday that you get a friendly ''Babe, wossup'' from a fellow chic.
The 'friendly customer' continued her chewing with great expertise- from making tiny/big balloons to making gum sounds with her pre-molars/molars.
Aunty Yo-Yo, we all know, is a no-nonsense woman. I didn't know if it was the 200N recharge card that chose to play hide and seek with her or the gum sounds that annoyed her the more...
''Bia, Agadi-ekwe-nka, atachikwana'm nti ebe a!'' (Hey, Old-mama-youngie, do not deafen me here!).
