Bro if you take a look at the trend of the story, you will realize that it is a series. If I want to the series can last a life time. We started from The Miracle Mistress, then to Bank Alert. So now I,m asking readers which of these two stories in should write on
1. How Baba kike caught kunle and his daughter
2. How Taofiik found out about what Baba Kike and his Landlady are having

kayusdguy:
Nice story bros. But you said this is going to be the last episode for this story

THE CHRONICLES OF TAOFIK SHAKITIBOBO - BANK ALERT continues..............


I got to the hotel. From outside I could already spot Peju’s car, I got to the lobby and they weren’t there. Just as I was about asking the receptionist I saw the boyfriend coming out of the rest room. ‘guy na you I dey look for, where you girlfriend?’ I asked. ‘Peju! Peju!!’ he shouted, but nobody responded, so he took me to the hotel bar just behind the lobby where they were already entertaining themselves.
They were so friendly, so welcoming, you will think what we came for was an old boys alumni re-union. They offered me drinks, food and all sorts of assorted meats on sale at the hotel all of which I turned down. ‘Yeye people, una wan use food and drinks put me for another one chance abi, ko jo!’ I thought to myself.


Seeing the way they were becoming friendly made me become suspicious. I observed everything and everyone moving around with close attention.


Kunle kept calling me, I guess Akon must have told him that I’ve already left his place, but I wasn’t ready to pick his call. All I want is to finish the deal then call him to meet me up at Iya Bode’s place.


They noticed my phone ring and Peju was like ‘awn awn! Bros is that your ring tone?’ in my mind I’m like ‘no it’s not my ring tone, it’s my sound track, foolish question!’. I didn’t say it out because I didn’t want to ruin the mood so I just nod. Then she said ‘bros I’ve been looking for that song for long, its an old song and I’ve been finding it hard to download.’ Actually my phone’s ring tone is ‘shayo’ by Bigiano and really, getting the original version of that song online may be hard sometimes so I can relate with what she was saying.. ‘that’s true’ I replied her.


At this point, after seeing that they really are not here to cause any trouble, I became a little bit relaxed and became chattier than I was when I first came in. I offered to help her get the ringtone on her phone (which was still with me) as soon as we are done. Then the real me surfaced again; I started bragging about having over one thousand songs on my phone, bragged about having the full albums of THE REMEDIES, PLANTASHUN BOYS and the likes. That was when I gave her my phone to scroll through and see for herself.


You might as well be asking why I gave my phone to her amidst all what is going on, what if she doesn’t give it back? But the truth is I don’t know why I did what I did. Maybe like I said earlier I became more relaxed and maybe a little too relaxed. As soon as she was done scrolling through my phone, she gave me back. You might say thank God for me abi? Ok.


The boy friend who has been busy pressing his phone and occasionally sipping his drink all this while suddenly found his voice; ‘erm bros abeg we want dey go oo, so how much you say make we pay you again and wetin be your account number?’ I said ‘na just fifty K, when you don ready to do the transfer, I go give you the account number but I must see the alert before handing over the phone’. That was when Peju cut in and she was like ‘that serves him right! He made me (the daughter of Femi Coker) go through all that stuff last night! In fact that serves him really right’. In my mind I was like ‘ehn! The daughter of Femi Coker ke! That rich Lagosian the deals in oil and gas!’ but on the outside I just smiled and shifted my attention to the boyfriend. ‘shey make I call the number for you?’ I asked and he nodded back as if giving me the go-ahead to call the number, so I did, I gave him all my bank details and he sent the money. Before you say Jack Robinson I received an alert. Gbagam! I was so happy! I only managed to hide my excitement. I immediately gave Peju her phone back without hesitation, no need holding on to the phone again.


As soon as I handed over the phone to Peju they both stood up simultaneously and without looking back gave some cash to the hotel attendant for their bill and drove off. As soon as they were out of sight I jumped up with a resounding ‘yes!’ finally my labor was not in vain.
I instantly put a call across to Kunle, Informing him of my victory over Peju and her boyfriend. Then I had a change of plan, instead of telling him to meet me at Iya Bode’s place I told him to come to the hotel. What I spent on Peju was in the region of 30k which means I still have a surplus of 20k. Good business.


Within 10 minutes, Kunle was at the hotel. We started the merriment and by the time we were done, we had incurred a token bill of five thousand naira. I reached for my wallet and gave the hotel attendant (a lady) my ATM card. She slotted it in their POS and after I confirmed my account status, she gave me the POS to type in my code, brothers and sisters lo and behold; the lady said I had an insufficient fund in my account! When she first said it, I told her it should be an error from her POS and that she should try again. She did. She tried it two more times all to no avail. I took the ATM card from her, asked Kunle to wait for me and I went to a nearby ATM center to check my account balance. The balance it gave me was N5,103.28, my previous balance before the 50k alert.


Like a child who has just been beaten by his peers I ran back to Kunle at the hotel. I could not fathom what was going on. ‘Kunle! Wan ti gba mi (I have been duped)!’ I screamed on getting to the hotel bar. ‘duped as how?’ he replied. I gave him my phone to check and see the alert I received for the 50k Peju’s boyfriend sent to me. He looked at it and asked ‘so what is now the problem’ and I told him that the only amount in my account as we speak was 5k plus which was my previous account balance.


The moment Kunle heard that, the first question he asked me was ’did you give them your phone?’ to which I said ‘yes’. ‘Taofik! Taofik!! Taofik!!! How you go give them your phone, wetin you dey think when you give them your phone?’ he screamed at me. I didn’t utter a single word I was just looking at him like a demi-god with both hands on my head, hoping that he will somehow find a way to bring back the money……….
Till this day, I’m still wondering what I did to my ancestors to deserve such a little brain for such an energetic guy like me.
The chronicle continues.
**************************************************************************************************
So guys here is a question I’m asking; what did you think Peju and her boyfriend did to Taofik’s phone to generate the fake alert?
I am also throwing this open to my readers: which tale should I tell next between
1) How Baba Kike caught Kunle and his daughter Kike or;
2) How Taofik got to know what was going on between Baba Kiki and his Landlady

guys please when you are done reading here, dont forget to go check out the concluding part of THE CHRONICLES OF TAOFIK SHAKITIBOBO - BANK ALERT

THE ENEMY WITHIN
Episode 5


Yeah, his call came in 'hello Ben, where are you? You are late for work already. The people from Tade plant have been waiting for you for the past half hour'.


'What's going on?' I thought to myself. Will this man allow me to work in his firm even after everything that happened? Or is he trying to set me up to the point where he can nail me properly? I know I gave Tade plant that appointment for this morning but I have since forgotten about even having a job since Saturday.


I thought I was confused on Saturday, but this one is a whole new level. It's tempting and dangerous at the same time. It's like him holding one hand to his back while dangling a whooping N 460, 000 in front of me (yes, that's how much I receive every month and that is bonuses aside). The lure of having my lucrative job back is tempting, but what other cards does he have to play? I have this strong feeling that something is not right. I have to call my mum.


I put a call through to my mum and expressed my fears but she insisted that I go and make sure I am more careful and detailed with my job at the Gas Plant.


I really haven't told you much about myself and my job, so let me just brief you a bit about that. In the country today, we have about 7 major distributors of Gas spread across all the regions and my father in law is one of the 7. It is from these 7 in takers that all other gas plants get their supplies. We are one of 2 of such in the entire Southwest. That's huge right? Imagine all those gas plants and retail oulets in Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, Osun, Ekiti, Ondo, some parts of Kwara and Edo getting their supplies from just 2 of us. It’s safe to say that my Father in law is a billionaire.


What's my job description there? I think it's important to state here that I am a Chartered Accountant. What I do is very simple. Ensure that I take account of inventories, sales receivables, suppliers credits e.t.c and ensure bank reconciliation is done at the end of each month. Let's move away from all that accounting jargons before I bore you out.


I was strategically placed in this position by the CEO himself. Knowing full well that I will soon take over at the helm of affairs, this position gives me the vintage position to see through all our dealings and the operations of the firm since all the expenses including salaries go through me. I also co-function as the vetting officer which means I approve all transactions first before it is being carried out. Though I am not a signatory to the account, my office issues all cheques and processes all tellers. In a nut shell I am very important to the firm.


I work with a team of guys who have been at the firm for some years before me. Jide was one of them. He was my assistant. Feelers have it that he had aspirations for my position but for his lack of tact, customer relation and tendency to behave rashly; it was only a matter of time before someone else will be placed ahead of him.


Then came me. He had no qualms (I think). He showed me love, hospitality and the ropes. We gelled seamlessly and I have always relied on his good judgments. He taught me things about the job that would have taken me years to know within months. He introduced me quickly to those outside the firm whose patronage and partnership should not be taken for granted and within a month I was doing my job well.


I give him his space and liberties and I hardly question his work. I was told by my father in law that Jide is the hardest working staff he had ever known. He said the kind of passion for the job he sees in Jide is unparalleled and he advised me to always try to emulate him. Little did he know that things weren't always as they seem....you'll never believe what's coming…….

THE ENEMY WITHIN
Episode 4


I sat there for what seems like forever(head in hands) trying to figure out what it is that could have led to all this. I was lost in my thought. I didn't even notice my wife emerging from our bedroom with a traveling bag, our newborn baby on her back and Isabella our first child on her other hand. She was heading for the door. My mum quickly jumped on her feet, 'my daughter where are you going?' 'Mama I cannot live under the same roof with this incestuous man....I can't!' I ran to her as soon as I heard her voice. 'Baby please don't leave me, I swear to you I have had nothing of that nature with your sister, I swear by everything I've ever worked for in my entire life'. She was having none of it, her mind was made up, it's either I leave or she leaves. Even after all the persuasions from my mum. I couldn't let her pack out of the house. If not for any reason at least for the sake of Isabella my first child.


Isabella was just recuperating from an illness that almost took her life. Thanks to an anonymous blood donor that saved her. How my blood and her mother's didn't march hers beats me. It was just a miracle that someone who pleaded to be kept anonymous came up at that time. As much as I was thankful then, I didn't really care about the person's identity. At least now my girl is fine and back on her feet. It was for this reason I didn't want my wife to move out.


I picked up a few cloth and a few other things I might need for the day and the next day which is Sunday. As I was about leaving, my mum flagged me to wait for her. It was as if she has had her stuffs arranged in preparation for a day like this. Everything she has in the house were all by her at the door post. 'Drop me at the park, I'm heading home' 'mama are you too leaving me?' Let me just say that if there is an award for 'the most frustrated man' on that day I doubt there will be a more worthy winner that me. Nothing seems to be going my way at all. 'I'm not leaving you o Ben, just that I can't stay in the middle of this chaos. As soon as you figure out all this, you know where to find me but for now, biko drop me at the park'. I didn't have a single strength in me to argue with her. I simply gathered all her things in the boot and dropped her at Ibadan Park.

I checked into an hotel not very far from my house(about 15minutes drive away). As I was about resting on the bed, Jide's call came in: 'Son of a bitch! So trying to take my position at the office is not enough for you ehn? You still have to sleep with my fiancée to the point of getting her pregnant!!! I've never liked you from day one........but for this one you did, you will pay dearly for it' then he hung up. That day couldn't have been any worse.


Fast forward to Monday; after it became dawn on me that there is no prank anywhere, everything is for real. I booked a trip to Paris to clear my head. Yeah, I love Paris. My wife and I had our honey moon there. It was her idea though. She calls it the safest place on earth. Since then my appreciation for the place had grown. In fact whenever we wanted to have a baby we go there and before you know it, our baby is here.


It was around past 10 in the morning and I was heading to the airport when a call came in. I didn't want to pick, I didn't even want to check out who the caller was but something in me just told me check it. Alas, it was my father in law! What does he want to tell me this time? Maybe a piece of his mind that he didn't have the chance to fully express. I gathered all the strength I had to pick his call and his voice came in from the other end ' hello Ben, where are you? You are late for work already.............'

THE CHRONICLES OF TAOFIK SHAKITIBOBO - BANK ALERT


Just as I hung up and was already making my way to the door, kunle shouted at me ‘ode!’ It brought me to a halt. ‘you dey craze, why you go call me ode’ I fired back at him. He told me to come back, sit down and receive some sense. ‘guy don’t you know you might be walking into trap?’ the moment he said that it was like the thick veil wrapped around my brain has just been unwrapped, it was then I realize I need to sit and listen to him like he was King Solomon in the bible. He went further ‘how do you know they are not with a police officer right now and they are just trying to lure you into their nest just like the girl did last night?’ so I asked him ‘what do I do now?’ he told me to go to Akon (a police officer and also a street friend) at Iya ganku, narrate the whole story to him and if possible, carry him along. Kunle couldn’t follow me to the station because his case is still pending over there and Akon cannot make it go away. So we agreed that as soon as I’m through at iya ganku police station I will call Kunle to follow me to the hotel for the final showdown. What kunle didn’t know is I wasn’t planning on taking him to the hotel. I don’t want him thinking he can share the money with me. Once I collect my money I can just ‘find small thing’ for him out of it and that will be all. He cannot out smart me on my own money.


I got to the police station on this day and I was shocked about the amount of crowd at the station, you will think they are having a Wizkid and Davido concert all at once. The place was so jam packed that every single police officer was super busy. Akon was very engaged, he only managed to create time for me based on ‘padi’ level.


After narrating my ordeal to Akon, he scolded me and told me the implication of what I did, he also gave me hints and tips to follow next time I suspect an issue like that in order for me to be able to prosecute the person. He said the only way I can be free from any criminal charge is if the girl confessed to the crime.


Luckily for me, they called again, I guess their patience was running thin. Akon took the phone from me and spoke with them. He introduced himself to them as a Police officer and threatened them that if they did anything funny, they will have him to contend with. He couldn’t go to the hotel with me but suggested I invited them to the station so that all the transaction can go smoothly in his presence but I told him not to worry. I didn’t want to start paying one 10% or share any money with anyone.


After Akon’s conversation with them, my confidence level at this point cannot be measured by and measuring gauge. I felt like I could walk on water and not sink, like the terminator that cannot be destroyed by any gun.


I went straight to the hotel without bothering to call Kunle along. I just wanted to collect my N50, 000 (Fifty Thousand Naira) and flex like a yahoo boy who just got paid.


I was already thinking about what I’ll do to Belinda when I get to LUCKY, how I’m going to flex at Iya Bode’s bar, omo today is definitely going to be dope’.

THANKS GUYS FOR ALL THE COMMENTS. IT'S LIKE A NEW SET OF ENERGY DRINKS HAS JUST BEEN POURED INTO MY SYSTEM. I'M MORE ENERGIZED AND ENCOURAGED NOW MORE THAN EVER. THANKS

THE ENEMY WITHIN
Episode 3
To say that I was shocked will be an understatement, saying that I was confused still will not cut it. I was completely taken aback! I just could not fathom what just happened. Why is she naming me as the one responsible for her pregnancy? Whatever happened to Jide? Did she mistakenly mention my name instead of Jide's? But wait...Jide is not sitting with us, or is she just joking? Maybe she is just joking? She has to be! To me that seem the only reasonable explanation. I don't smoke nor drink so the question of maybe I got high and dinked her is completely out of the picture. So she has to be joking.


The reaction that greeted Abigail's revelation could not have been more dramatic. It was like catching a thief in your house, only for the thief to mention your wife/husband as his accomplice. Different exclamations, different body positioning and then everyone's gaze at this point became firmly placed on me like 'oga explain yourself'. All I could moot out was 'sorry please, which Benjamin are you talking about?' That question must have touched something not-so-pleasant in her. Her reaction was stuffs of the fire that consumed Sodom and Gomorrah. It left me even more confused and for the first time angry. She flaired up! 'How dare you ask me that foolish question! How dare you!!? You dare deny that this baby is not yours now?' She shook her head as if she'd rather not say more, picked up her bag and hurried out tearfully. My mother inlaw ran after her but not without giving me the 'I am so disappointed in you' look.


My father in law who by now cut the figure of a frustrated father, stood up , raised his two hands up like that statue that symbolizes equality on court buildings, with traces of tears in his eyes, he said 'Ben........you saved me with one hand and ruined me with the other'. Then he too walked out.


My wife surprisingly was the calmest of them all (or so I thought),she gave me the 'I'm sorry for you' look without uttering a single word, she gathered our baby into her arms and made for the bedroom.


I was just too confused to react to any of their reactions. I sat down to notice my mum looking at me, so bothered and waiting to hear my side of the story. I told her I didn't do it and that I am as confused as she is too. I couldn't wrap my head around it. I was hoping that at some point someone will tell me this is all just a prank.
************************************
Could all this have been a prank? Stay tuned for the next episode

Episode 1
The tension in my living room could boil water up to 100°C within a second, the look on everyone's face does not seem friendly at all to put it mega mildly and the quietness almost feels like you could hear the movements of the ants.
I'm sitting here wondering why we have to gather this much people before my wife's 27 years old younger sister tells us who owns her pregnancy. I mean for crying out loud she could have done that over the phone and even if she had to still gather this much people why is my house the venue? At least my father in-law's house is more central. My wife had asked me like gazillion times if I had anything to do with the pregnancy given my close relationship with her sister but honestly she almost got on my nerves before she ended the conversation. She almost made me spill the beans.

HEY GUYS THE CHRONICLES OF TAOFIK SHAKITIBOBO - BANK ALERT IS NOW OUT, PLEAS GO HERE TO READ--------> Just in case you are wondering, that girl’s phone is no longer with me, it is now with the owner and in case you are still wondering too, I now know her name. Her name is Peju and she is (as a matter of fact) the daughter of a Lagos businessman and they are so damn wealthy. How did all these happen? Follow me.
After that episode where the chieftaincy title of ‘The Most Dense Dude Alive’ was conferred on me by no other than Peju (The Miracle Mistress- YOU CAN READ THE STORY IN THIS THREAD ABOVE), I quickly checked out of the hotel room.

THE CHRONICLES OF TAOFIK SHAKITIBOBO - BANK ALERT

Just in case you are wondering, that girl’s phone is no longer with me, it is now with the owner and in case you are still wondering too, I now know her name. Her name is Peju and she is (as a matter of fact) the daughter of a Lagos businessman and they are so damn wealthy. How did all these happen? Follow me.
After that episode where the chieftaincy title of ‘The Most Dense Dude Alive’ was conferred on me by no other than Peju (The Miracle Mistress), I quickly checked out of the hotel room. I figured they may soon realize that Peju left her phone and will definitely come back. I boarded a bike and headed home straight.
Unknown to me, another matter was already brewing at home- kike’s father has finally caught up with Kunle and his daughter. According to Mrs. Eyewitness News (Mama Nkechi), it was a serious gbege. Kunle had to jump the fence to escape from the grip of kike’s father who wanted to machete him to death, although not without some scars. The story is long; I’ll save it for another day. Meanwhile they said the man was looking for me with some Police Officers to produce Kunle. (See me see trouble oo, another man shit, na why another man go pack am? Never ko jo!) As soon as I entered the main room, I simply picked my phone and dialed Kike’s father’s number who we usually call Baba Kike. Immediately he picked the call I was saying ‘Hello Baba Kik….’ when he interrupted me with his thick Yoruba accent(much thicker than mine) “see ehn you better come to Iyaganku police station and surrender yourself or you produce your friend!’ you will think I didn’t hear a word of what he said, I ignored him and continued from where I stopped ‘baba Kike I heard you were looking for me with some police officers because of Kunle and Kike your daughter, how is that suppose to be my business? See ehn no try me oo, respect yourself unless you want me to pay a visit to Mama Kike. At least she will be interested in what is happening between you and Iya Gbogbo my Landlady……’ next thing I heard was the hang-up tone, he hung up. Case settled. The story of what happened between my landlady and Baba Kike is also for another day. One thing is for sure though; Baba Kike will not be bothering me any time soon. At the moment let us focus on how that phone got to Peju.
As soon as he hung up, I threw my phone onto the nearest available place, collapse on the bed and continued to think about the events of the previous day. This time, my thought was all about the money I spent and the kind of hardship I’m about to face in ‘Broke Island’.
I think the thoughts somehow led me to dose off, but not for long. Peju’s phone started ringing. ‘Forever Mine’ was calling. Instinctively I picked the call
Me: hello
Peju: hello bros please where are you?
Me: I’m in my house, hope no problem?
Peju: no bros, just that I left that phone at the hotel room.
Me: which phone, you mean the one you are calling me on?
Peju: yes
Me: this phone is now mine oo, if you like go and call the Police, it will only make me hasten up about chewing your SIM card. Sho ti ye e?
Then I hung up after a long hiss.
I resumed my previous position on the bed with a mood that has now shifted from regret to anger.
How did I let this happen to me? How did I miss all those signs, her constant phone calls while we were in the club, her over friendliness, giving me signs but giving me nothing? I have been the victim of another person’s hilarious prank!
An international number kept calling and was getting on my nerves. I decided to use the volume key to reduce the volume to zero so that I can have my peace.
I was almost dozing off again when a phone rang. This time it was mine.. Kunle was calling:
Me: bastard where you dey?
Kunle: guy I dey school 2
Me: I think say den don carry you go gbobi na. mrs eyewitness news say baba kike don break your head
Kunle: guy stop that dirty play jor, see I never baff since last night oo, and I no fi come house now, dem say that man dey find me with police officers.
Me: so wetin u wan make I do, make I con baff u? abi you no see water baff for the hole wey that yeye stick between your legs carry you go?
Just as I was about to unleash more trolls on him, something crossed my mind; I need to carry Kunle along as to how I need to go about Peju’s phone.
Kunle’s talent (apart from chasing young girls around the street) has been his street connection and understanding of the street codes. This is one thing I’ve never admitted to him. Never! How Shakitibobo go dey concede superiority to anyone on my street? Ko jo!
So I decided to take a few things to Kunle so he can change and try to solve my problems.
On getting to school 2 (a local shepe joint), we quickly rushed to Wale’s place. Wale is one of our street friends; we hang out with him once in a while. Kunle must have slept there last night. I narrated my ordeal of the previous day to Kunle and believe me, he had a filled day making jest of me. He reminded me of the numerous times he warned me about getting ahead of myself and gave me a lecture on how to be street smart when it comes to girls(as if he has done better than Kike a secondary school fresh graduate). No be hin fault, na me wey go fall mugu.
I told him my first thought is to sell the phone and recoup some of the monies I spent on Peju.
His response was ‘guy no sell that phone oo, dem fi trace and track the phone to the person wey you sell am to and the girl fi claim say na steal you steal am’. That makes sense to me; last thing I want is to enter another police gbege after I don already loose my money. So i asked Kunle;
Me: so guy wetin I go do? I loose too much money to that girl na!
Kunle: why you no sell the phone wey you dey use, put your SIM inside the girl own, at least
if na you dey use am you go know how to use am in such a way wey dem no go
catch you and even if dem catch you, explanation still dey for that one.
That makes sense too, at the least my phone can still be sold for N20, 000(Twenty Thousand Naira) which will go a long way to cushion the effect of the money I lost. We were in the middle of the conversation when the phone rang again. The same ‘forever mine’ was calling. But this time it was a male’s voice – Peju’s boyfriend. I put the phone on loud speaker;
Me: what is it again?
Peju’s boyfriend: bros what’s the issue with you na? We left a phone at your place, give it back!

Me : guy e be like say something dey work you. You and your girlfriend dupe me finish you
con even get the gut to call me about any phone, see like I said, call the police and say bye bye to your girl’s line.
Peju’s Boyfriend: ok bros how much did you spend on her last night, give me the estimate, we’ll pay you back.
Me: what I spent last night was only N50, 000 (fifty thousand naira) so how am I getting the money?
Peju’s Boyfriend: bros but shey you know that you guys both enjoyed the money oo, so she should not be paying you the full money
Me: ehn ehn, ok no P, let me sell the phone and let’s see if I will need to share the proceeds with you na
Peju’s Boyfriend: ok bros just bring the phone to the hotel and come and collect your money in full right away.
Me: ok, at what time?
Peju’s Boyfriend: I said right away, we are at the hotel now.
Me: alright I’m coming.
