Sola gentle is the
owner of our drinking joint at Keth in the olden days. We called her
Sola
gentle in her presence but when she was not within hearing shot, we called her
Sola mental! She was very erratic. You could never predict her next move.
A friend, Kola, was
befriending her. She was the one who openly told our friend that she liked him.
That was how they started this amorous relationship. They went out together one
weekend and became sworn enemies thereafter. When we asked Kola, what went
wrong, he lamented that he could not really explained what happened. He said Sola
just started throwing tantrums without any reason. All our efforts to settle
the quarrel failed woefully.
When Sola introduced
a friend of hers to me, I had my reservations. My opinion was the age long
saying that “Show me your friend and I will tell you your character.” She was
fondly called Sisi Bonsue, she was beautiful and caught my fancy. We were told
that her finance died few weeks to their wedding ceremony and since then, she
had not got any stable affairs. I decided to give her a trial. If you like,
call me “Oloju ko mun o lo”
(Womanizer). Sisi Bonsue was loving and caring, she was buying gifts for me.
When last did a lady buy gift for Faari?. That was in the era of Dayo Falade,
Bola For Sure and Iya Obokun. The rest were
Iya Kalokalo! They were out to milk
me dry; the worst was Mercy Ogbodu.
The merry-go-round
was not for long. It seemed evil spirit was following her, several terrible
things started happening that I had to follow a friend to the prayer mountain
to ward off the seemingly evil spirit.
The plane Sisi Bonsue
and I boarded to Abuja on a weekend trip narrowly escaped crash landing. As if
that was not enough, the taxi that was carrying us to the hotel got burnt after
passing the Abuja National Stadium. That same night some dare devil armed
robbers visited our hotel and dealt with all the occupants mercilessly.
When I got to Lagos,
a query was waiting for me for missing a very important news story of national importance.
It look the grace of God before I could be left off the look, I could have lost
my job.
These were the reasons
behind my striking Bonsue out of my system then.
BEHAVE
RESPONSIBLY, AIDS IS REAL!
