Butane palava

Do you know how sometimes someone can transfer his aggression on you simply because you asked him a simple question? That was the experience i found myself in a few days ago. I was going back to my hall of residence, there was no vehicular transport and so i decided to patronize the okada men that make "a good" living out of students' inability to come to school with their cars.
Normally, a crazy rate of fifty naira is charged to take me to my location. bla, bla bla
I approached this okada man and next he would say was one hundred naira, so playfully i asked him are you using butane gas or fuel and his answer was "your father". I was very certain my father was in bed at that time of the night and so that was actually getting me infuriated when the guy added this "...you will never make it in life". All of this simply because i have refused to join him on his bike.
Knowing the rules guiding the environs i found myself, i knew i could not beat him up because that was what was on my mind to do, i decided to follow him whit my mouth which i am just developing.
So i said "...look at you, you are an epitome of poverty... i am made you are not and you can never be...you will continue riding okada till you die..."
That was actually to much for the crazy guy, he replied me "... can you afford 80,000 i bought this bike at that price..."
At this point, it dawned on me that this guy has a low perspective and must actually be frustrated, so i replied him "... proof of poverty, i will buy this bike and give you money to fuel it..."
This actually made him mad, so he said, bringing out his id "... i am a bla bla bla security officer... i will make sure i deal with you when you are in trouble..."
This is supposed to be a problem because he is a security officer in this my environment, but i knew that from the beginning so i was not surprised or shocked, so i replied him "...you will die here as a security man. i will give you a job securing my dog in a few years time..."
My friends came and pushed me away. This guy will wait his balls out for me to fall into trouble... i'm too busy for that. Is he not a fool? Poverty is actually a disease.
