They were so angry that they arrested him and charged him to court. On the first day of the court's proceedings, the following was recorded.
This was the original statement before each of them spoke to the judge narrating what took place.
My Lord, we are not joking. The agent, John Johnson jack the car up. Since he was short in stature, he jumped up and down trying to change the seat but jammed the car.
But their accents marred the English Language.
CALABAR MAN: Oka yudge. The ayent Yohn Yohnsin na yort man. The ayent yack am up come yack am down. He come yump up and yump down. Nor be yoke O!
Yus to yange the tyre. He yus yam the car.
IZON MAN: Oga Zudge. The azent Zohn Zonsin na sort man. The azent Zack am up come Zack am down.
He come zump up and zump down. Nor be zoke O!
Zus to sange the tyre. He zust zamm the car.
WAHALA NOR TOO MUCH!
