Shame has been dragged back and forth for too long, with some people claiming they don’t need it and others claiming they do.
Today on Interview With, Shame has decided to break his silence with five words.
Shame: Take me or leave me.
Zikoko: Sir?
Shame: That’s all I have to say.
Zikoko: That’s what you called us here to say?
Shame: Is there supposed to be more? Look, what a thousand-year-old tortoise sees on the back of its shell, a newborn won’t see it, even if he stands on the back of another tortoise. But on this matter, everybody is seeing the same thing.
Zikoko: Meaning?
Shame: This life has spoilt.
Zikoko: Sir?
Shame: Yes. You people have been saying you can’t shame the shameless, you can’t shame the shameless. Now, everybody is roaming about without shame.
Everybody’s nyash is in the open. You people just open your mouth to tell everybody your… What do you people call it? When you lose, when you fail at something? It’s a letter. Remind me now.
Zikoko: L?
Shame: Exactly.
Zikoko: That’s fine. Some people actually think it’s motivational.
Shame:
To tell the internet secrets that even the military shouldn’t be able to get out of you?
Zikoko: It’s not like they are sharing security details.
Shame: Ehn?! Please, don’t come into my house and lie. I will not accept that one. Ahn ahn.
Zikoko:
Shame: See, I’m not saying you people shouldn’t say what’s on your chest. I’m just saying some of you need small shame, just tiny. Tell them to come here with their party pack or cooler, and I will give them.
Zikoko:
Shame: The way you’re doing now, it’s like I’m telling you to beg them to patronise me, and I don’t like that. I don’t want their money, please. Right now, I’m doing charity. Come to me all ye who are shameless, and I will give you shame.
Zikoko: Just like that?
Shame: Just like that. Are you not tired of seeing things that don’t concern you all over the internet? Things your eyes should never see?
Zikoko: Now, it sounds like you’re running an ad.
Shame: I don’t think you heard the “charity” I said the first time. I’m not doing it for myself o. It’s for their good. Because the next thing I’ll hear now is, “Who shame help?”
If people had me, they would not spend five days talking about one thing that doesn’t concern anybody.
They’d remember they have a job and a life. Half of the internet wahala would be gone.
Zikoko: I don’t think that would solve it.
Shame leans on his cane and gets up.
Shame: That’s your business.
They said you people have been shouting “Bring back shame. Bring back shame” since. Tell them that I’ve been here — no leave, no transfer. If they want me, they should come and get me.
