We were twelve in our cell and i happened to be the youngest and the freshest,In all...salimu was the one i was in good terms with,he was close to my age and was well built with strong biceps,the only repulsion i had whenever i was with him was his mouth odour,it seems he was born with it and because of this flaw of his he was given his own corner of the cell.
Unfortunately for me,I was opportuned to sit beside him because the small cell was crowded and had little ventilation.
I had shared the fruits ogechi brought with my co_convicts and as i was chewing the flesh of the orange salimu grabbed the my other share of orange and threw it into his mouth.
I felt angry,the orange i was chewing became sour in my mouth and i had to fight myself not to spit it out on the rough-cemented floor that had holes that reminded me of major road potholes.

"so who is this babe that brought you fruits?"he asked and belched.
"just a friend in my congregration"
"so you are really a JW?"
"yeah..."i replied.
He shooked his head,i had told him about my story earlier in the day and he had told me his.I hadnt been prepared for what i had heard,even now i cant bring myself to believe it.
Salimu(his nickname) happened to have a brother that made frequent business trips to foriegn countries,leaving behind salimu and his young wife with thier kid.
One thing led to another ...salimu fell in love with his brothers wife and they started an affair while his elder brother was away.
Unfortunately one day his brother came back suddenly without informing his wife or brother,as he entered the compound on foot,his wife caught a glimpse of his shadow and prepared herself.
Salimu was having a good time with the wife,he was about unbuttöning her gown just as he always did with her...when the woman started screaming.
.....his brother banged into the room and the next place he saw himself was inside the cell.
End of story.
So that was how my friend ended in jail.
A sad and sour story isn't it?

#KINGPHILIP..




On my fifth day in jail i felt like dying,the cell was stuffed and the air stanked of unwashed bodies,i nearly cried out as i couldnt bear it anylonger,many thoughts chased each other in my mind,what would become of me? I kept asking,beads of tears rolled down my eyes and i clumsily wiped them off.
"emekus wetin dey worry you?"salimu asked,nudging me.
I sighed helplessly and unconciously toyed with the two small ropes on my butterfly patterned boxer.
"my man,for how long will i remain here?"i asked.
He smacked his lips.
"o boy is that what you are thinking about?"
"yes naa"
"i wonder what you would have done if you were in my shoes,do you know i have been here for three months? My brother just threw me here,bribed the officers and walked away"
i sighed,biting my nails helplessly.just then I noticed a warden walking towards our cell,i held my breath and prayed silently.
"who be emeka for here?"the warden asked.
"na me"i quickly replied,my heart thumping wildly.

I soon found myself walking towards the front hall with the warden,he darted an angry look at me and shoved me forward.
He led me to the little office inside the hall,a huge man sat behind a table,his eyes was focused on a file ön the desk,he looked up when we entered.
"so you are the idiot called emeka? You are quite lucky that the DPO changed his mind and decided to grant you bail,if not you would have celebrated your seventy years birthday here"the police officer behind the mahogany desk remarked with a scrowl on his chubby face.
I remained quiet,shuffling my feets uncomfortably and wondering what next.
"oya sign this sharperly" he pushed a sheet of paper with a pen ontop.
I skimmed it and quickly scrawled my signature at the end of the paper.
"aliyu"the officer called the warden who quickly came to stand beside me after a quick salute.
"take him to the counter,youngman you are free to go,but let this sound as a warning to you and your cohorts".
For the first time in five days i took a deep breath.
"thank you sir"i mumbled as i was ushered out of his presence.



A wane smile danced on mama lips as i was led to the waiting room,i had already put on my shirt and trouser that had traces of dust on them.
"nnam"she muttered and embraced me.
"mama it is okay,how is papa and sabina?"i asked as we walked out of the station.
"fine fine"she replied and sighed.
"hope none of our brethens knew what happened?"i asked as i cautiously examined the street.
"apart from oge,i told no one else"
"how come they decided to grant me bail?" i asked the question that had been ön my mind for long.
"my dear..jehovah is indeed a great God,he touched the DPO heart,i have been coming here everyday,pleading and pleading but he refused to grant my request. So i took the cue and sent your sister a text message and today i came"
"so you mean chioma's number is now reachable" i interupted.
"yes..but she still refused to pick my calls"mama replied and shrugged her shoulder.
"am sorry for all you went through because of me mama,i owe everything to you" i quietly said.
She patted my right arm.
"nnaemeka it is alright,you are my son and i cant leave you to rot in jail"
"but papa did that"i pointed out.
She sighed and frowned fleetingly."some things are better left unsaid"

my favorite dish _well pounded fufu and okra soup_was already on the dining table when i came out of the bathroom after spending nearly half an hour there.
I opened the dish and fell to the sumptous meal,savouring each morsel, i ate like i had fasted for forty days.i was washing my hands after the meal when a knock sounded on the front door.
"sabina! Go and check who is at the door" i called out and she dashed out of the kitchen hurrying towards the front door.
She came back just as i was standing up,I noticed the funny look on her face.
"who is that?"i asked.
"a youngwoman,she said her name is nkeiru"
my heart sanked!!!
"and that she is looking for you"sabina concluded.
I sighed..
What have i become??
One week-one trouble.



The first thing i noticed about nkeiru was the way she looked,she had emaciated a great deal.
Or was my eyes playing tricks on me?.
"emmy"she half yelled and bounced into my arms,i wasnt prepared for this...i staggered.
"nke babe,is alright,come inside" i led her straight to my room,i knew who my father was,i knew what he was capable of doing.
I knew he wouldnt look at nkeiru favourably,she was dressed in white top over blue jean trouser and my parents spoke ill of those females who wore trouser.
"emmy what happened?"nkeiru asked with a worried look on her face.
"nothing bad"
"i have been calling your line and it isnt reachable..."
"yes"i replied in monosyllable.
"so what happened?"she asked as she perched on the edge of my bed.
I sighed heavily.
"nke babe thats the past,am back now."
she shooked her head,"my cousin was there the day you were led into a black maria van and she informed me,emmy i have been worried,i havent slept since then"she paused.
"i came here thrice looking for you but your mother was non-commital,it was also that cousin of mine that called me not long ago to tell me she saw you and your mum walking into the compound".
I sat down beside her and took her right palm."angel i appreciate your care and concern,how is your health?you look haggard".
"am fine,just worried.this few days have been hell for me,and i went nearly beserk when i couldnt get to you"she retorted.
"hope all is well?"i asked..my heart thumping wildly.
She sighed and speechlessly handed me a paper.
I took it and read the content.
"so you are really pregnant?" i found myself asking like a zombie.
She nodded,i embraced her,caressing her hair.
"dont worry,it is okay"i mumbled while my second being was screaming 'LIAR LIAR'

what next??

Nkeiru will not kill me..so she wants to take over from my sister abi...i thought as I entered our compound after escorting her home.
I was so so confused,this pregnancy issue was getting out of hand.
Something must be done,something must be done.
BUT WHAT?
I was still carried away thinking about nkeiru's wahala when power supply came.
'up nepa!" sabina's voice jolted me out from my reverie, i sat up and quickly plugged my phone which was off due to low battery.
Fifteen minutes later i switched it on,as if on cue..my phone started ringing.
The name displayed on the screen was that of ogechi.
"helow"i said immediately i pressed the green button.
"oga sir,howfar? I heard you are back?"
"yeah,who told you"
"your mum naa,anyway i called to know if you are around,am on my way to your place"she remarked.
"okay,see you when you come"i retorted and disconnected the call.I sighed heavily and sanked down on my bed,just then sabina walked in.
"dede papa said i should call you"
my heart did a mad flip flop dance,i could swear that it shifted from its normal position to my stomach.
"when did he came back?" i found myself asking as i stared at sabina,actually i was staring at her but i wasnt really seeing her.my focus was at the door opposite my room,when had papa sneaked into his room? I was sure he wasnt around when I came back from escorting nkeiru,his rickety hilux jeep wasnt parked outside the compound.
"he came back when you went out" sabina replied.
"what about his car?"
"it had a mechanical break down".
I shrugged and hastingly combed my hair,appearance mean alot to papa.i stood in front of the wall mirror,i started from my hair,face,shirt and trouser.
I looked good although i was emaciated,my gaunt cheekbones stood out and there were two holes below my eyes.
'fine boy gone ugly' i mumbled.
Nevertheless papa would be impressed,at least i didnt smell like salimu.
On remembering him i chuckled,in my haste i had forgotten to bid him farewell.
0h dear dear friend
