********EBIERE******* EPISODE22 . . . . .. . *****WRITTEN BY GIRAH KARISPEN* **** I lost appetite to eat that night .I couldn't sleep throughout the night.She was really loving and caring .She would have been a good wife to me if not of my promise and love I have for Ebiere .I use the the whole night to mourn for her.I was overcome by sleep in the morning.I was still asleep before Musa woke me up."Abeg,ogar wake up, go put something for your belle.You never eat for the past five days" he said and I summoned some strength to stand up from the mat I was lying down.I rushed to the backyard ,I washed my face,leg , hand and I break a stick to chew, 'cause I have not brush my teeth for the past two month.It was just chewing stick throughout ,I don't even know whether my mouth is stinking or not.I struggle to eat and drink the kunu and beans ball that I was giving as break fast.Musa took me to a field where I really enjoy myself, 'cause I was good at soccer.I scored super hattrick against my opponent.After the climax of the ball. Kwara fc coach approached me and begged me to join his team but I refuse.I don't want anything to hinder me from going to England .It was getting dark,so I decided to go home with Musa ."Musa ,I want to go to Libya tomorrow .Take me to any of your friend that is going to Libya tomorrow " I said and he tried to stop me from going ."Ogar na beg I dey beg you,make you change your mind.Even me when no dey fear anything self still dey fear to go Libya, because my younger brother when sei Nigeria don tire am.when go to find money for Libya .I hear sei,him no even reach their,na road na him die" he tried to convince me but I didn't succumb to his words."I am not going to Europe for greener pasture but I am going for another purpose which I have told you earlier" I said."Which can girl when you they look for England when no dey for Nigeria.Even my madam when die self,I no see any girl for England when fine reach her" he said."Are you going to help me or not" I said with anger."Cha na you don made up your mind" he took me to his friends that want to go to Libya to seek for greener pasture .He introduce me to them and they told me to visit them very at the dawn of the day.We went back home."Make you think about the risk when you won take tomorrow ,incase you change your mind,make you let me know ,because all those my friends them when they leave here they go Europe or Libya ,them no get time for themselves .If them die self,Allah go bless them with seven virgins to marry" he almost tried to convince me but I didn't succumb to it rather I went to my room and slept off.I was dreaming how my journey was going to be, I died in the dream before the voice of a rooster woke me up.I look at the wall clock,it was 5'o clock.I stood up,went outside as usual to wash my body before I took my break fast .Musa took me to his friends house were his friends and I went to a place where only trucks that is heading to Libya are parked .We entered the truck . The truck driver started the truck and took the route to the sahara desert . We were more than fifty people on the truck.The journey was worst than I taught .When we reach sahara desert,people started falling out of the truck.Due to the rate of wind there.If you fall out ,the truck will not stop to carry you.You will be on your own.It is now three days and we have not yet reach the middle of Sahara desert ,talk less of passing it.The food that I took for the journey has already finish.Some of the people that were on the truck began to cry of hunger while some where praying for journey mercy.We were more than fifty that took part in the journey but right now as I'm telling you. We are only twenty left.Only the odour of the people will kill you, ,'cause we have not wash out face,hand and leg for days,talk less of taking our bath.Oh my God.the water I put in my water can has finish.How am I going to reach Libya without tasting any water."Today ,today ,tomorrow no more.If I die today,I will die no more" we started singing , 'cause no sooner than now,we are all going to be dead men.At last we reached Libya.We were only five that survive and out of that, two persons died as we stopped and alighted from the truck While three persons were ill,including me,they rushed us to a near by clinic.One of us died in the clinic due to lack of blood in his body .No adequate facility and apparatus was in the clinic .When they found out that we are Nigerians,they deported us back .The only person that survive with me in the journey to Libya was a Benin."What is your name?" I asked him."My name is Ehikioya" he said."My name is Karis .Where are we going to go now.I don't know anyone here and I don't have any money with me" I said.. "Let's go to my homeland" he said.We sneaked out of our camp,where all those that are deported from Libya stayed.Ehikioya and I started asking for alms in disguise like a two blind beggars.We were able to raise five thousand naira from our begging . We entered a bus that was moving from Abuja to Benin route.Finally we were in Benin.Ehikioya took me to his abode and introduce me to his family."You have such a nice appartment and a loving wife.What even make you to abandone your family to Libya? I asked him."I was not heading to Libya ,I only wanted to go to Europe from Libya" he said ."By the way,what do you want to go and do in Europe? " I asked curiously."I want to go and play football .Football is the only sport that fetch people cool money" he said."Why don't you join Benin FC" I said while folding my hands to listen to his tales."I don't want to play for local club like Benin FC.I want to play for Manchester United .Do you want Nigerian clubs to kill my career,Nigeria that don't value sport.No good stadium and facility.They are not going to pay you well" he added.This guy has really finish Nigeria."Even thought you succeed to reach Europe ,I don't think Manchester United will sign you and you don't have anyone to link you to them as well as a manager.Don't you see Usaint Bolt who is a big fan of Manchester United club,that stop running to play football ,yet Manchester United has not call him to play for them,despite his influence"I cleared his childish thought .To be continue |
