Take Me To Naija

*MY LIFE IN OZORO POLYTECHNIC*       *EPISODE 3* The journey was about 2 hours drive, I alighted from the bus and thereafter dialed Jerry’s number to inform him of my arrival and he quickly rushed down to pick me. Getting to his house, he has already prepared Banga soup which is my favorite soup; I was surprise because the jerry I know can’t boil water not to talk of cooking Banga soup. He later confess that a girl in the hostel who he has been banging (lashing) helped him and said he will introduce me to her later after mentioning her name to be Aghogho. I wasn’t interested in his explanation as my stomach was biting me badly. I reach for a breakable plate and served myself, I ate in rush because I didn’t take anything before leaving Warri; the gala and lacasera I bought at one of the army check point while coming, my so called friend Rukky collected it when I ask her if she cares, deep inside me I taught she will even say thanks am okay (girl...

*MY LIFE IN OZORO POLYTECHNIC*          *EPISODE 1* My name is Eliboy. I’m from a polygamous home and the last child of 18children. My siblings have the raw cash (money) to sponsor my education up to the level of schooling abroad but like the saying ‘every mallam with his own kettle’ they don’t care, the only option is for me to hustle and take full responsibility of my education. After my secondary education, I had to struggle hard by hustling like every ambitious youth who have goals to achieve. I spent three good years at home working as a class room teacher, party planner, master of ceremonies MC, designer, and sometimes driver to some aged individuals. With all these jobs, I was able to make good money that will see me through my school if not to the end but at least 2yrs. A devil in the appearance of an angel I believe is exactly what I am when it comes to womanizing, It’s the only bad thing about me actually, this makes most of ...

SHADES OF LUST Episode 23 Jude’s side of the story continues ‘’and what gave you the impression that guys can’t survive without s-x?’’ I asked, smiling faintly. She said nothing. ‘’what matters the most is what we feel for each other. I respect you. I adore you. I love you and that’s more than enough reason for me to abstain from s-x till we get married’’ I answered, kissing her forehead. Her eyes brightened with tears of joy. ‘’that’s so sweet of you. You are such a gentleman. I really do pray nothing comes between us’’ she muttered softly, getting up from the bed. ‘’good night my love’’ she added, smiled and left the room, leaving me alone with my thoughts and conscience as Pamela’s image flashed through my mind. I left Pamela in a rough condition and deep down I knew I was yet to see the end of her even though I did the best thing by ending our relationship before it got out hand. _____________________________________ Kelvin’s side of the story continues ** 10am, Saturday ...

SHADES OF LUST Episode 22 Jude’s side of the story continues As Tracy and I headed to her house minutes later, she held my hand and looked up at me with a worried look. ‘’please bear in mind that my dad is a medical doctor who also lectures in UNN. Do answer all his questions honestly, don’t lie about anything. He knows much about school stuffs and he is a very understanding man’’ she begged softly while I nodded like a child. When we got to her house, she quickly led me to the sitting room where her dad and mother were seated, probably waiting for me even though it looked as if they were just busy watching a TV show. They politely smiled as Tracy led me in. ‘’oh my dear you never told us you were bringing in a half caste’’ Tracy’s mother muttered jokingly. I greeted politely. ‘’you are welcome my son, Tracy told us a lot about you and one thing I do admire in my children is that they always bring their friends home for us to see and access. So do relax and feel at home’’ the o...

SHADES OF LUST Episode 21 Kelvin’s side of the story continues ‘’hi what’s up?’’ Jessica greeted as soon as I picked up her phone call. ‘’I’m cool and you?’’ I replied with a soft tone, wondering the reason she called by that hour. ‘’you asked for another date with me and I promised to give you a reply today. That’s the reason I’m calling now’’ she quickly added as if she knew what I was thinking. ‘’oh cool’’ I stammered, not really sure of what to say to her words. ‘’I will be free for another date this evening, but it’s going to take the form of an outing’’ she said softly, leaving me silent for some seconds. ‘’outing?, I really don’t get what you mean by outing’’ I muttered, expecting her to explain in details because what I wanted was to have a quiet date with her in a restaurant or someplace private but the way she mentioned the word outing looked as if she was suggesting a road trip or something similar which really looked out of ordinary considering the level of our rela...

SHADES OF LUST Episode 20 Jude’s side of the story continues ‘’what is it you wish to tell me?’’ I asked Pamela, sitting up quietly. She breathed deeply, left her eyes on me for some seconds, shook her head and looked down. ‘’I want us to leave the country together. I want us to start a new life in the states. I have enough money ‘’ she breathed softly, leaving me gasping with disbelief. I just couldn’t believe my ears. ‘’you are not well’’ the words escaped from my lips without warning. I never meant to use such unfair words on her but it was exactly how I felt about her that moment. She was definitely sick to come up with such an idea. She instantly gave me a look that told me she felt insulted by my words. ‘’I have a life in this country. My education, my root, my future belongs here’’ I replied, softly drawing close to her in an affectionate manner. ‘’you are not really okay to me and the painful part is that you really find it difficult to confide in me. It means you don’t ...
