Interview With…聽is a 91大神 weekly series that explores the weird and interesting lives of inanimate objects and non-human entities.
Today on Interview With, we invited Breakfast to the 91大神 office. Heartbreak and Morning Food showed up. Here is our interview with the both of them:
91大神: Hello, good morning. Welcome to 91大神 Interview With.
Breakfast: Thank you for having me.
91大神: We understand you have a busy morning ahead of you, so we will wrap this up quickly.
Breakfast: That鈥檚 fine by me.
91大神: In your own opinion, what is the most nutritious breakfast to eat?
Breakfast: Oh, that鈥檚 simple. It can be in different forms. For example, finding out that your partner of five years cheated on you is one very nutritious breakfast. A serious talking stage ending in tears is also another nutritious鈥
91大神: Wait a minute. Which breakfast are you?
Breakfast: The heartbreak one.
91大神: There has been a mistake somewhere. We invited the actual Breakfast, morning food.
Breakfast: Oh. One of us really needs to consider changing our name.
91大神: How did you even come to be called 鈥淏reakfast鈥? What happened to being called good old 鈥渉eartbreak鈥?
Breakfast: I am sure you will agree with me that there are some heartbreaks that fill you up like food. You will collect it and be unable to eat. You鈥檒l just be drinking wine or water. In fact, you can even vomit what you did not eat. All because a Yoruba man broke your heart, or you found out that your serious Igbo girlfriend who went home to visit her family actually went to do her traditional wedding. That is when people say, 鈥淭hey have served you Breakfast.鈥
91大神: Omo.
Breakfast: Left to me, I prefer to be called Heartbreak, but when people started telling their heartbroken friends that they have been served 鈥淏reakfast鈥 after a serious disappointment, I said let me in come in and claim the name.
91大神: But why Breakfast? Why not Lunch or Dinner?
Breakfast: Well, Breakfast is an important meal, I guess. Imagine being heartbroken and telling your friends that you have been served lunch. The friend might even congratulate you on being able to afford a fancy lunch. But when you call your friend at past 9 in the night, shedding hot tears and saying you have been served Breakfast, then the person on the other end of the line will be forced to sit up straight because eating Breakfast at 9pm is very unusual.
91大神: Crazy things are happening.
Breakfast: Even Tems cannot deny that she has not eaten Breakfast before.
91大神: Wait oh. Me I thought this Breakfast thing meant good news sha.
Breakfast: Are you talking about that video of Ogogo saying, 鈥淕bogbo wa lama je breakfast鈥?
91大神: Ehen now. He said 鈥淎ll of us will eat breakfast, and each person鈥檚 time will be different.鈥 So how did heartbreak enter this thing?
Breakfast: My brother, this is Nigeria. Good news is scarce. But everywhere you turn, heartbreak is waiting to French kiss you.
91大神: No, but鈥
Breakfast: Listen, Ogogo probably meant it as good news, I agree. But come to think of it, all of you will also eat the breakfast of heartbreak, and each person鈥檚 time will be different. Just like the angel of doom is knocking on everybody鈥檚 door, I, Breakfast is going round and round the earth too, looking for who to feed.
91大神: Let me close my mouth before I taste you.
Breakfast: A closed mouth is a closed destiny, don鈥檛 forget that.
[Door opens and the actual Breakfast enters]
Actual Breakfast: Sorry I鈥檓 late oh. I was delayed by one family.
Breakfast: Could it be that they served Breakfast to you, Breakfast?
Actual Breakfast: Who be this one?
Breakfast: I am Breakfast, the heartbreak edition. Pleased to make your acquaintance.
Actual Breakfast: Please, I am not making any useless acquaintances. I need to rest. I have had a long and stressful morning. Are you 91大神 people doing this interview or not?
91大神: Yes, yes, we are still doing this interview. Heartbreak Breakfast, you can leave, please. We have had enough of you.
Breakfast: I will go. [Exits]
Actual Breakfast: See as e be like wetin I no know. Say na pleased to make your acquaintance. If you don鈥檛 leave here with your foolish English.
91大神: Erm, is this a good time? You sound a bit cranky鈥
Actual Breakfast: Why will I not be cranky? No, answer me. How will a respectable human being wake up and decide to eat Semo and Okro as breakfast? How? And it鈥檚 not even fresh Semo, it鈥檚 leftover Semo the person warmed.
91大神: Oh wow.
Actual Breakfast: If you know what my eyes have seen in the hands of Nigerians all in the name of eating morning food, you will join me to weep. Some people will decide they want to eat Breakfast by 12 p.m., when I鈥檓 supposed to have finished my morning rounds. They will now summon me again. Why not just hold the hunger and eat your lunch by 2 p.m.?
91大神: Is there an official timetable stating that lunch must be by 2pm?
Actual Breakfast: Please don鈥檛 ask me foolish questions. Knowing your type, you probably eat breakfast by 1 p.m.
91大神: Oh not at all.
Actual Breakfast: I don鈥檛 even care. I just want you people to do better. Two or three slices of yam, fried egg and a cup of tea is decent. But if some Nigerians have not served a three course meal, they are not satisfied. Breakfast, but you people are serving eba and draw soup with shaki. You will finish eating, only to go and sleep at work or enter traffic to fight.
Look, sorry I鈥檓 ranting. I guess I am just having a bad morning.
91大神: It鈥檚 okay. This is a safe space, let it all out.
Actual Breakfast: Thank y鈥 Oh great. This person that ate Semo and Okro is already calling for milk and Milo.
91大神: They want to drink tea after eating Semo?
Actual Breakfast: Now tell me why I shouldn鈥檛 be angry.
[Actual Breakfast walks out angrily]
91大神: Toh. They have served you too Breakfast.
[Door slams]
