THE STORY OF OBIM (PART 6)

Some days begin with reflections on the past, while others are filled with visions of the future.

Obim resides in a compound situated very close to his workplace. He is a young man known for his quiet demeanor, preferring to keep to himself and abstain from meddling in others' affairs.

No matter how much one tries to steer clear of trouble, there might be those who harbor ill will towards you, even if you haven't wronged them in any way.

Obim's neighbor, who operates a nearby shop, inquired about the availability of a toilet intended for shop use. When Obim informed him there wasn't one, the neighbor further questioned if the toilet in the adjacent apartment could be used for the shops. Obim clarified that it couldn't, as it belonged to the apartment and was for its tenants' use.

Days later, the man stormed into Obim's office, demanding the key to the toilet. Despite Obim's polite clarification that the shops did not have a designated toilet, the man, in frustration, broke into Obim's apartment with a hammer and damaged the external door that also led to the toilet.

The incident left Obim in disbelief, particularly because the man was a pastor and his wife a prophetess; he had not expected such behavior from them.

This event marked the onset of their dispute.
