Wolfax Diaries

I lost my breath as I saw them. I saw problems standing in front of me. They’ve not really changed much and surprisingly, how come I never heard their name from Peter. We exchanged pleasantries and went back inside. Debby asked me what to do, as I was panting inside my room. I told her to lock the door, and we knelt down to pray. I cried out to God to manage the situation for me. I knew something might go wrong or better, it could be in the same manner Engr Philips’ case went. It’s two days to our wedding, and I don’t think anyone can spoil his mind again. Both families have spent money, thus we can trash any issue out. I picked up my phone and called him to check if he has gotten home. He picked to tell me he’ll call back. They drove straight to Engr Philips house for a chat and there the joyous moment I presume became a fallacy.  Engr Philip welcomed them home, as his wife has cooked for them. They really were not hungry as angry. They sat outside, under the...

It was at the close of the celebration that the manager of the restaurant called my attention. He bent beside me, saying some things I didn’t understand. The management wants to join you in celebrating, thus we are offering you a 5% discount, on all things bought here today. I told him casually to tell my boyfriend. He asked who he was; and as I turned to show him, Peter was on his knees with a ring “will you be my wife”. I was scared more than shocked. My sight was on Engr Philip, who gave a wink. I accepted, as tears rolled down my eyes. The glory was much as everybody clapped and the congratulations rolled in humorous ways. Different names was I called that night: iyawo, amariya, mummy, twins’ mama, e.t.c but my fear lies in what will Philip tells his brother. Everybody was obviously happier than me, but I concealed the fear within.    Two days later, I was in Philips office. Wearing the longest gown on earth, and tying my hair. I looked deeper life in nat...

I waited for the announcement to be over before I picked the call. He was talking to his friend, not knowing I have picked, and from the background I heard, are you sure we won’t rush to the airport right now to meet them? Then I knew how badly I’ve behaved. I wanted to confess to Deborah immediately, so that we can find a solution, but I couldn’t, as I ended the call and switched off my phone. I drew close to Debby and asked her, how much did he give you? Twenty thousand only and he nearly finished all the juice in my body. After all, he said I smell too much…… I told him it’s his mother that smells. I dipped my hand inside my bag and brought out $100 and handed to Debby. I could see the joy in her face. Eh poor girl, I thought.  Can you do me a favour I asked, put off your phone till we reach Abuja please? Hurriedly she did, and in forty minutes our plane was taking off. At this point, I knew I’ve regained my status. Engr Philip was the next victim; his number w...

It wasn’t easy making those contacts at home. Exams are over: all wards are in their parents’ house, coupled with ASUU strike, but I can’t stay at home. My financial status is reducing and the freedom of exploitation lies not in this house. SIWES was the next lie. I had to go back to school, I told them at home. They still gathered the small money they had for me and off I went. My co-workers were in school, all looking for the next hook. We were now very conscious and attentive, any rich man’s contact can change your life. And never bring friends close to the source. Lolade called me from UK to apologize, that it wasn’t what I thought. What are you doing in UK I asked? He said General got her admission at Greenwich University. I broke into tears as the line went off.  The next move was from Deborah. She is the leader of another crew. They are not as exposed as my crew. They still follow small boys and less of daddies. If you’re young, I felt I despised you. Elderly ...

I became special to myself, I saw myself as someone everyman needs, but all for a while. I looked forward to the weekends, and the parties with the big boys never ended.   I started getting to know some other guys in the city, who would call us when chairmen are in town. We have three dedicated cab men, who answer when we call, and Helen brought in Joseph, a strong cultist in the school, to protect us from other guys, from coming close. The protection wasn’t free though, he had his own share…. The next hangout was at the golf course in Asokoro. I saw billionaires and sat close to them. These men lack respect for women. They can say whatever pleases them and do whatever they like anywhere. The affairs of our nation were being deliberated on a table while drinking. They don’t drink lavishly like young guys, they instead spend massively.  A General was the first to be interested in me. We were more than sixty girls for this occasion and they were like twenty. I ...

It‘s 3.42 am in the morning and its’ two days after my supposed wedding. Sleep is the last thing on my mind right now. With all these pain and trauma my family is going through: questions without answers, curses being rained, prayers being offered and all sorts, the truth is my family and I are in pains for my acts of old, reflecting in the present. When you read this I might have taken all the poisons close to me and died. I can’t stand this. There is no remedy for me. I have messed up so well that even pastors know I can’t revive the personality that I today destroyed. I don’t know if God can forgive me and I’m sure magazines like hints and hearts would carry my news. I’m really ruined. With this title, it’s obvious I’ve had sex in return for money or favours which is called prostitution, but I’m not like every other prostitute. I feel like talking about this, because right now, I’m regretting what I did sometimes ago. The trend was changing and we followed suit li...

I picked up strength seeing Lawrence, with tears in his eyes, there was a reassurance of love he has for me. Why did you deny me in the presence of your parents? Why was I so humiliated? Why would I have to abort the child and now you are back here begging? He suddenly rose to his feet and fell into shock. I was the patient but now he was. I and Angela carried him and put him into stability. Tracy I’m sorry. I caused all these….. I didn’t know I loved you this much, so I told my mum to check if your resilience could go a long way into the family we intend building. I’m not “AS” I’m “AA”
