AFAM
I got to Lagos airport, I told the cab driver to take me to a good hotel. I told him to wait for me to check-in since I still have a place to go. He waited outside while I checked into the hotel. I paid for a week and my things was moved into my room.

I just kept my things in the wardrobe and left the room. I gave the receptionist the key and headed out. I told the cab driver to take me to Government college Agege. We got there parked in the school compound. He waited in the car. It was already 2pm. The gateman gave me directions to the admin block. I was led to one of the office where I explained my plight. I was directed to records. They asked for the year when she was transferred and I gave them the details. 20minutes later, her record was found.

"Sir, she was transferred to Model College, Meiran. That was 20 years ago, she spent six years here before she was transferred.
"Thank you very much sir, I'll take it from there" I opened my wallet and shoved #2000 into the guys hands.
"Please just use it for recharge card"
"Thank you sir, I pray you find her sir. I'm very sure you'll find her even if she had retired, just follow the directions, you get from each school.
"Thanks, goodbye"
I left the admin block and told the driver to take me to Lagos State Model College Meiran. I asked if he knew the school and he knew the place.
"Don't worry about money, just tell me how much you charge for a day"
He smiled." Ok sir"
"Good let's go" I said and we left the school compound.
On our way to the school. Oba started a little conversation with me.
" Sir it's like you are searching for someone" he said more of a statement than a question.
"Yes, I came searching for someone. I came all the way from Enugu"
"Eyah. From the look of things you don’t have the person’s phone number?"

___________Toyin Taiwo
"If I have her contact, I won't be hopping from school to school" I replied.
"Don't worry you will find, the person. In Lagos, once you can ask for directives, then you will definitely find your way" He said and that gave me hope.

We spent close to 45mins before we get there, thankfully the road was free but the driver said once it's 4pm the road will no longer be free. We drove into. School compound around quarter past 3pm. The students were already going home.
I asked one of the students for the admin block and he directed me.
I entered one of the office and the woman I met said they've closed for the day, that I should come back the next day. I pleaded with her, she said she's willing to help but the records office had been locked.

I sat down disappointed. He asked me to come back the next day, that she'll help me with anything I need. I thanked her and left.
"Welcome Sir, how far?"
"The school has closed, they asked me to come tomorrow”
"Aww…don't loose up sir, tomorrow is another day"
"Please take me back to the hotel" He drove out of the school premises and took me back to the hotel. On our way to the hotel, we exchanged phone numbers.
We got to the hotel. I payed the driver, I added extra #2,000 to the amount he billed me, he was so happy. I told him to come pick me up by 8am the next day.
I got to my hotel room, showered and called room service to order for food.
I called the pastor afterwards and told me the situation of things. He told me to relax that I’ll surely find her. He prayed with me before I ended the call. I wanted to call my friend but I decided not to because my cunny wife can lure him into giving her information about me. Just the Pastor alone will do for now.

I put on the TV and relax, that night I prayed before I slept committing my journey into his hands and also pray that no evil hands will be able to touch me. I don't know my daughter but I prayed for her and her mother as well. I pray she find joy, so she would stop crying in my dreams.

____________________Toyin Taiwo
The next day, I woke up early, order for breakfast Because I know it's going to be a long day. Some minutes to 8am the driver called. He told me he's at the front of the hotel waiting. I was impressed, I thought they say Lagos people don't keep to time, anyway money is involved, Lagos people I heard they don't joke with money too.
I dropped the key card and joined the driver in the car. We exchanged greetings, he thanked me for the previous day, I thanked him too.
There was traffic every where we all spent two hours before we got to the school.
I went straight and met the same woman I spoke with the previous day. I explained myself and he took me to records after getting permission form her Superior.

I told her the year when she was transferred to the school and we began the search. Some minutes later, we found her file. She went through the file and told me she was transferred to State high school, Ipaja and that was 13years ago. I thanked her and drop some tips for her. I left the admin block in a rush. I told the driver the next location and he said it's not too far from there. True to his words, 30minutes later we were already inside the school premises. I asked for directions on how to locate the admin block.

I met with the vice principal academics she was already on her way out when I got there.
"Good afternoon madam"
"Good afternoon. How may I help you?" She asked and I told her I needed the contact of one of the staff.
"What's her name?" I told her.
"She no longer works here"
"I thought as much but I want to know where she was transferred to"
"Mr, as you can see I'm on my way out. There's a meeting at the LED and I'm running late already. The VP admin is on leave, I would have directed to you to him. So I suggest you come back tomorrow. Thank you” She said and left. I can't stop her from attending the meeting, so I accepted my fate.

The next day as early as 7:30am I was already in the school compound with my cab man. I waited till they finish the assembly before going to the same office I went to the previous day.
____________________Toyin Taiwo
The VP really gave me a tough time. She said I can't just come from nowhere and asking about their staff. She said, I should go and get a police report first. She said the police should give me a letter if I want the school to divulge any information about their staff.
"Madam please, I don't have such time and more so you know our police, they will complicate things at the end of the day" I pleaded.
"I don't know if you are an assassin or something and I use to know this person you are talking about. I didn't meet her in this school though, but I served with her in Government college Agege"
"Good, thank God you know her. I don't owe you an explanation but as it is I have to explain myself. She was my fiance many years ago and something happened and I lost contact with her. I need to find her to make amends"
"Really, I think I heard that story then that she dated a man who already had a wife and a child. Are you the man that abandoned her?"
I was embarrassed. “Yes" I replied her.
"More reason why I can't help you, I'm sure you are the last person she'll want to see"
"More reason why you need to help me madam, please I need to find her"
She sat on her swivel chair and took a long look at me. She stood up and walked towards the door of her office.
" Follow me" She said and I did.
She took me to the record officer and told her to help me look for the file.
From her file, it was gathered that she was transferred 5 years ago to Command secondary school, Ikeja.
"Thank you very much” I thanked the VP Academics who was standing there all along.
"You are welcome" She said. I also thanked the record office. I left and joined the driver in the car.
"We are going to Command Secondary School, Ikeja" I informed.
"That school is inside the military cantonment, I have friends that finished from that school" he said.
And we continued with the journey. There was traffic every where but I know I'll see her today, that I'm sure of.

ENITAN
We had a group chat on WhatsApp and we all concluded and fixed a date to meet with my mom. Everyone agreed to be present including Ezinne.
I went home to see my mum praying not to meet my stepfather at home. Anyway he was home when I got there. I greeted him not waiting for his reply and I went straight to my Mummy's room. One of my siblings was with her when I entered. We exchanged greetings and told her about my friends plan to visit her.
"Se ko si? Hope there's no problem, it's been long I saw them here"
"They just want to come discuss somethings with you. Se ema wa available?" (will you be available?)
"Yes I will. I'll tell your siblings to help me prepare something we can entertain them with"
" Mummy ko need(No need for that) they won't be staying long because we have other engagement for that day"
"I know you will say that, you've poisoned your friends heart against us. If it's Mummy Ejiofor's house, you will eat and drink o, no problem"
"Oh! You expect them to be free here when your hostile husband 'the lion of the tribe of Keshinro family' is around abi" I said gesturing with my hands.
"Really, why do you two hate each other like this? Ehn... right from when you were young, you never get along for once"
"Mummy please free me. He never liked me and you know it, so I can't waste my love on someone who doesn't deserve it” My sibling did not like the way I addressed her dad.
“Anty mi!” And I replied sharply. “What! Tell your Daddy to free me”
"Ok o, tell your friends I'll be expecting them" My mum said.
"Ese ma(Thanks) I'm leaving, good bye"
"But you just got here!"
"Your husband is around, and the last thing I want right now is wahala" She just sighed.
"Odaaro ma"(good night ma)
"Odaaro oko mi" (good night my child)She replied and I left her room.

My plane landed safely at the airport, Senator had already sent a driver to pick me up. I was supposed to come with Hauwa but her container arrived the previous day and it needed to sort somethings out. I got to their mansion and Hajiya, Hauwa's mum gave me a warm welcome. She even apologized for the inconveniency. Senator wasn't around, so showed me to the guest room. Hajiya is very hospitable, I was well entertained. Later in the evening, Senator called Hajiya that he won’t be coming home that night, he has an all night meeting to attend. Hajiya felt sorry when relating the message to me. I was so furious that I had to talk.

I shaked my head at first. Hajiya do you know why your husband was able to do this to me? It's because I love your daughter"
"I understand, just be patient with him" she said patting my back.
"I can't remember the last time I was controlled, or been ordered around"
"Don Allah( please ) exercise more patient, do it for her. I promise to talk to him, I will make sure this ends soon"
"Thank you ma, infact I couldn't have done this without your support. Mungode ma” I said in hausa.
I called Hauwa to tell her the situation of things, she said she's already on her way to Muritala Mohammed airport.

The next day, Senator came in, in the morning and went straight to his room, to rest off course, he looked stressed out. Two hours later Hauwa arrived. The driver went to the airport earlier to get her.

_________Toyin Taiwo



HAUWA
The first person who caught my attention when I stepped into the living room was my darling. He wasn't smiling but he put up a little smile when he sighted me. Hajiya too was there so I greeted her first.

"Ina Kwana(good morning) Hajiya" she also replied me in Hausa.
“Ina kwana. Yaya anya?(how was your trip?)
"Lafiya"(Fine)
I walked up to my baby and gave him a peck. "I bet if you have a gun, you will shoot the senator without hesitating" I said playfully and kissed him on the cheek.
He smiled. "Thank God you are here, how was your trip?" He said as he lighten up a bit.
"Cool" I replied. "Don't worry we'll finalize everything today, the next time you'll be meeting him here again will be after the wedding venue" I assured him.
"I pray"
"Let me inform him that we are set for the meeting" I said and went to my father's room.
"Ina Kwana Baba" I greeted. He was dressed up. He replied me.
"Don't tell me you are going out again" I said angrily.
"I just got an urgent call, I have to be in Nigeria"
I laughed scornfully. "Father, if you step a foot out of this house without giving Feso audience..."
I stopped to ensure that the words are sinking. "I swear you will never set eyes on me again"
"It's not my fault, duty calls"
"What stupid duty, you want to frustrate him so he'll leave me abi baba"
"What are you talking about I already accepted him"
"See I will not allow you boss him around the way you did with my brothers. I mean what I say, you don't finalize this marriage meeting today, then you will never see me again"
"Hauwa.....

____________________Toyin Taiwo
"If you think he'll leave, yes he'll leave but with me. Thank God he wasn't a nobody. Only God knows what you'll have done. You will even tell him to lick your shoe because he wants to marry your daughter, right!”
"Ok ok, I'll spare 10minutes and you are already using up the time"
"No way father, 10mins, so you can reschedule another meeting? Call the Senate, tell them you have an emergency"
"Emergency! Stop been dramatic"
"Is this not an emergency! Put your house in order first before obeying Nigeria's call"

He took a long look at me and realized I was determined. He pulled off his Guinea Agbada remaining the buba and sokoto.
"Let's go" he said.
"Better" I said and followed him.

___________Toyin Taiwo



BEATRICE
I ran everywhere for help, I kept getting the same answer.
"Your husband is gone forever" that is what I get from all the herbalists.
One even said. "If you try to harm him, you will just loose your life"
That God me scared but still I will find another way. I decided to go to my village. My mother has a friend who can help. I know the woman as powers like mother. But unfortunately when I got there I was told the woman had travelled.

thanks for dedication

Wow! Enough is enough for Senator joor.
