I knew I had to be careful with whatever I thought of, whenever I found myself in her presence. “We are almost there, just a little more patience my dear Tonye…just a little patience.” She said as she squatted very near the wash hand basin and beckoned me to do the same. Right there under the wash hand basin, was another ‘blasphemous’ inscription: ‘Money answereth all things’ – Ecclesiastes 10:19.
