Late for night, the baby for 404 just dey cry anyhow. E no gree rest at all.

The cry no be small matter o, e loud sotey e dey shake the ceiling, like say the pikin carry megaphone for mouth. If you live for Lagos, you go sabi the kain wahala when pikin dey wail for block like say im wan summon ancestral spirits. Even the ceiling fan sef dey vibrate join.

The building WhatsApp group chat just dey hot.

Everybody dey vex, some dey drop meme, some dey type voice note, some dey just dey type hmmm. You go see message dey fly every two seconds, as if na town hall meeting we dey run for midnight. Somebody even drop sticker wey carry 'Who go save us?' and another person just drop that sticker wey NEPA dey drag wire with thunder—block people no dey ever tire for drama.

After some time, the owner of 404 drop message:

[Abeg, I go strangle am now now, promise say e no go disturb una again.]

The way e drop am, you go know say frustration don nearly carry the person. Na that kain joke wey pain dey inside, wey only tired parent sabi.
