Wolfax Diaries

As you have known the kind of background I had; then you can feel with me the trauma of growing with rivals in all things. This created a subconscious fear in me all the time. I was scared of sharing whatever I had and I was too conscious of many things. I felt nobody could love me thus I wasn’t ready to give in to anyone. I’ve lived with people who don't show any form of love apart from good morning, who don't wish you happy birthday, who don't show any form of happiness at your success, who spoils what would be passed down to you, who transfers aggression for the minutest act from you. If there is something called hatred and you need to know visit my dad in his house. But the irony is he never worries himself. I didn’t know much about the other side of life until I met Nosa. Nosa is an exact opposite of me. She hails from Edo state and life in her house is a lot more interesting than mine. We were both in geology and with the kind of background she had, succe...

Is it really impossible for men to have one woman and not pursue another outside? Is extra marital affair not an impractical phenomenon? What desires do they, when they leave their wife they have suffered in building their entirety with, and profess that same act of love to another woman. And stupidly we believe. There are two forms of polygamy. Firstly, is the marriage of one man to more than one wife and the second is the marriage of one woman to more than one man. The first one is called polygyny while the later is polyandry. I was raised in a polygynous family.  I wondered what the women were looking at, marrying my father. In this my own generation he wouldn’t even pass for an Aristo. His old pictures had nothing fascinating and he wasn’t a political office holder. All he did was to farm in a large cocoa plantation his father gave him as inheritance. He was a major supplier of cocoa for Cadbury in the late sixties and early seventies, and in return they packed bou...

Thomas Paine is Femi Buju’s friend. They have the same behaviours and they look alike.   Both have the masculine built and a sleek look like a child groomed in the Buckingham palace. They speak only Queen’s English but they are both from Ilesa in Osun state Nigeria. Femi was a year my junior in the university thus when I met him at Transcorp I knew I’ve seen this face before. I really came to buy ticket for my boss that day for a flight to Lagos the next day. I saw Femi wearing a short in a hotel lobby like he lodged in a Hilton hotel. After the salutations we proceeded to the tenth floor and there I met Thomas Paine.  I’m Thomas; Thomas Paine he said. I’m Fred…… nice he said and we continued at the balcony as we exchanged cards and greetings. I heard a voice call Thomas from the room but the noise we were making didn’t allow him answer on time. This made the woman come out all wrapped up in her duvet obviously with nothing underneath. Thomas wanted to use me as a...

What kind of joke is that I thought? Are those thieves really? As civilized as Maitama is, armed robbers? It was the second bang that quickened me back to reality. All the prophetic declarations of Pastor Jerry came back into my head as I started declaring but it didn’t work. It seems they were getting impatient but I was also. I needed to disappear before something happens to me. How would I make paradise I thought again? Caught in the act of fornication, I will now get to the gate of heaven wearing a condom. I really didn’t pay much attention to the thieves. With guns in their possession they are not likely novices in this act. I started talking to them and the next voice came through as: honourable open the door, we know you are there. I felt a little at home as I wasn’t the target thus I had to proof it before they prove me wrong. I felt like shouting at a time but I discovered my non familiarity with the area wouldn’t help. Ina all of these Nkechi was just shaking tremend...
