TRUE LIFE STORY... JUST FOUR DAYS AFTER
WEDDING, DELE WANTS OUT.
He has been my friend for ten years. Handsome
and tall, Dele Olabode has become the laughing
stock of his friends both at home and in the
United Kingdom where he currently resides
because at 35 he was still single, searching and
perceived to be unserious.. On my last visit to
London in 2012 for the Olympic Games, I
stayed with Dele in Stratford and those
pleasant memories still lingers till this day.
Three months ago, Dele called me from his
base and gave me the good news. The play boy
wants to get serious, he has found a 28 years
old virgin from Benue state and the great
womanizer is ready to drop the tag and be
called a Husband.
When he told me Mary was a virgin, I became
skeptical, because all my life I have never seen
or heard of a 20 year old Benue virgin, talk less
of a 28 years old virgin from the very notorious
Oturkpo local government area but I was not
ready to discourage my friend who has always
been secretive about his serious relationships if
any. Some of us still know him to be a randy
boy always looking for ladies to devour. I soon
got to find out that Dele was truly in love.
Infact, he has dated Mary Abula for five years
but has not gone close to the danger zone. He
says whenever he tries to go closer, she
reminds him of an unwritten agreement
between both parties that there shall be no SEX
till the night after wedding. They kept to this
vow for five years and on Monday last week,
Dele called to say he was on his way to Lagos
to do what is right because he cannot wait to
eat the forbidden fruit. Friday last week was
the traditional wedding, Saturday, was the
white wedding and by thursday, Dele and his
new wife were scheduled to depart for London.
He has secured her a two years entry visa, he
just bought a Toyota Venza jeep for her in the
United Kingdom but after the first night of
Marriage, Dele is having a rethink, he wants a
new wife. I remember vividly what transpired at
the wedding which reception took place at the
Chevron beach park in Aja. Dele is an
handsome boy, a good dancer and a very lively
fella. Every five minutes he will whisper into my
ears WALE, TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT I HAVE
BEEN WAITING FOR, I WILL REJOICE AND BE
GLAD IN IT. Yes I knew what he meant, it has
been five years of patient wait. Don't get me
wrong, Dele is not a virgin, he was exploring
other pipelines but the most important pipeline
must be explored on this fateful night after five
solid years of Patience. The reception had
barely ended before Dele hurried his wife into
the waiting jeep and whispered to me for the
umpteenth time... WALE, TONIGHT IS THE
NIGHT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR, I WILL
REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT.
At 12 midnight, I called Dele to ones again
congratulate him and ask how was the first half
of what promises to be a very exciting football
match. He picked up his phone after the first
dial and screamed, Wale, moti gbe gbagi( I
have made a big mistake) Confused and
disturbed, I probed further and Dele told me
that Mary's menstrual period came on their
way home from the reception and to worsen
matters, she says her period lasts for five good
days. Before I could say a word, Dele has
started lamenting. ''AHA!! I WAITED FOR FIVE
YEARS, I WAS PATIENT LIKE THE PATIENT
DOG, NOW IT IS TIME TO EAT THE FATTEST
BONE AND MY MARY HAS SUDDENLY GONE
BLOODY TELLING ME I MUST ADD FIVE DAYS
MORE'' Wale what will I do? I knew how he felt
at that point but I could not help. All I could do
was to console him and beg that he extends his
patience for another five days. The fifth day
elapsed last night, Dele has finally assuaged
his thirst but he is now even more angrier than
a chained mad man. Reason is that Mary was
never a virgin. Infact she has done five
abortions in ten years and only became a
Jehovah Witness after all hopes seem lost. Dele
called me up this morning to say he was on his
way to the Airport. His flight is 10 pm tonight
but he has decided to wait at the lobby for 14
hours just to save himself the agony of seeing
Mary. Is this what you get waiting to marry a
virgin he asked rhetorically.
What lessons are there to pick from this and
what can we tell Dele to console him perhaps
he could still change his mind and give Mary a
second chance. I am not sure I can handle this
alone, some one should please help me fast
because my friend is at the Airport lobby crying
profusely right now.. PLEASE THIS IS NOT A
JOKE.

It is well written.

I like your writing style. Keep it up.

...Sad story a player getting played big time.

Abegi, he shld grow some balls and stop whining. If she told him she was not a virgin and had 5 abortions, would he have been willing to wait till she was ready to have sex again? She lied to him, which is very uncool but then she was probably trying to protect herself from further abortions. She waited for him for five years to propose, he waited for five years to have sex. There is no injured party here...he shld go and work on his marriage...only boys run
