PERVENCHE:
*NOTE
With all due respect, I have changed names and some too familiar details about myself out of respect for my wife to be. I know she likes to catch cruise on nairaland.

My name is Friday (of course not my real name) I am from the middle-belt. So please save your tribalism with all those una Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa insults. I met Grace(my wife to be) few years ago. It was love at 1st sight. She was everything and is still everything I had hoped a woman should be. There is this crass about her that makes her effortlessly better than any lady around her. My type in the true sense of the word. Tall, busty, curvy, sassy, elegant, personable and above all, she has a graceful soul. From the 1st date to this day, I still pinch my self like.. What in God's green earth is a beauty like her doing with a shrek like me.

But then, true perfection is always a utopia. Grace in all her graceful demeanour and aura, has a flaw; Indecision! More so, blind trust seems to be her albatross. (I swear she can even take Lai Muhammad's word to the bank) Though, I still love her; flaws and all. Her complete or should I say blind trust for me and Abigail became one of the reasons Abigail(her younger sister) has become an unending chapter in our relationship. Even though the blame of what happened squarely falls on me.

Abigail just shy off 20, is too savvy for her age. Not the outright outstanding beauty like my Grace. What ever little she lacks in beauty, she more than makes up for it in her mentality. For she is truly a smart and an intelligent girl. Just five years younger than Grace. One who expect them at least to be close and be like Asaba and Onisha but then...they are the direct opposite of each other. While Grace is the introverted shy person, Abigail is quite the extrovert and likes to make friends for Africa. It is only fair to believe their formative time in secondary school played a part in their output towards life. Grace likes to conform like most day school students. Abigail on the other hand, is the boarding school nightmare all parents hope not to experience: the deviant.

Through the 1st years we dated, Abigail was in secondary school and was never in the picture. For some odd or strange reason, Grace was not ready to fully commit. Not that I blame her or something. At 23, Most girls her age are like Alice in wonderland; they crush on celebrities and Chase childhood dreams and fantasies. The vile ones, if truth be told...tend to live out their hoė phase. At 28, I was already grounded to know what I wanted and it was Grace and marriage. Sometimes, you do all you can do but then life has a way of throwing in a curveball. More over, "No be say because I wan chop egg I go begin dey worship chicken." Sensing her shakara, I pulled the hand brakes on us and walked out of the relationship.

***2 years later***
Fortunately or unfortunately after letting go, Grace became incensed and started to want me back. I hardly do any social media at this point. Pride won't let her call me, so there was no way to send coded messages on whatsapp status to me. Being the introvert that she is and the all trusting graceful Grace, she started to send Abigil over to my place to bridge the gap. In just over two years, Abigail had changed and developed into a sexy hippie bohemian. Not that I fancy her in any erotic way or something. It's just that in our contemporary naija society where mostly everyone conforms, it is hard not to notice a bohemian.

Knowing I would do no better than Grace even with a million dollars and in a hundred years of searching, I mended fences with Grace and our relationship became stronger than ever. Over time, Abigail became a bridge between us. At first, Grace would send her over to run errands for her. After a while, it became a second nature for her to come over and fidget with my electronics. Courtesy demands you be nice to your in-laws to be and so I was nice to Abigail.

Abigail's posturing over time made it difficult for me to say no to her especially during them Nengi and Laycon days in the house. She was a fan of big brother lockdown. And would always ask for my keys to watch the silly show for she was equally as silly to be gushing over that vanity fair. Grace seems not have any issues with her coming over and I also did not for I was hardly home and God knows the sub was kinda wasting away.

There are some things in life that are not planned. They just happen! My boss at work then tested positive for Covid and we were all asked to quarantine at home. Grace still had to go to work while Abigail was always free because of the ASSU strike. Suddenly, I started to be alone with Abigail. She would come over "for big brother" around 9am and leave around 7pm in time to beat her curfew at home. It was awkward staying all day with Abigail. Grace too predictable, only comes over on Sunday. For some strange reasons, on Sundays, Abigail will never show up.

There were times, and I am sure it could just be my imagination, that she enjoyed teasing me. She would come dressed like a sister Mary Amaka from home but after a while, she would take her bath and transform into a Kardashian. Wearing skimpy cloths and heavy make-up. I tried to give her her space. I was in quarantine and therefore, had practically no where to go. I am basically the type that don't flock with co-workers and I hardly keep any friends except for Grace. I am not one to be neighbourly with my neighbours so I was stuck with Abigail all day. Humans are social animals and we tend to gravitate towards each other especially when we are alone with someone. Gradually, she won me over and I started to watch the big brother show with her. While she was rooting for Nengi after her Erica left, I was simply for Neo for he had my height. And the bond between us grew. God knows I had no vile motives and evil intentions. It is hard not to enjoy Abigail's company for she is a smart, gleeful and witty girl. While I do all the talking with Grace, Abigail on the other hand does all the talking with me and it was a welcome change.

*** D Day ***
It became obvious Abigail was not telling the truth at home. She would pick their calls and tell them she was in her female friend's house. And in the spirit of our new found big brother bond. We kept the secret. On this faithful day, it had rained all day and Nepa had struck and the plug in my generator was no good. The rain had brought with it a cool breeze and some magical thunder. Seemingly, we could not watch our show so I took a blanket because of the cold and buried my attention on my PC (laptop) re-watching season 5 of the game of thrones.

Naively, Abigail joined me and entered the blanket with me. I use the word 'naive' because I honestly do not want to qualify her as a minx. And I know she does not see me as a Justine Bieber of a crystal ball for her to be drooling at. While in that warm blanket watching the movies in such compromising position, One thing led to another and alot of that one thing opened up her Pandora's box and I... I ate the most forbidden fruit there ever was. There is no telling how wonderful making love to her was at the heat of the moment and there's no shame in the world that equates to the shame that immediately dwell and still dwells in my soul shortly after even to this day. There's a lot to blame our mistake and betrayal on. Could it just be the moment? the weather? the chemistry? the devil? (laughs) my opportunistic habit? Her feminine warmth in such close proximity? my placing a hand on her thigh and meeting no resistance? My foggy mind and grown erection? Her racing and panting heart? Her feisty zeal and deviant nature? My libido? Hers? My morals? Buhari? Herdsmen? IPOB? Sunday Igbahor? Dstv and big brother? NEPA? Game of thrones? Was she after all really a minx? In all fairness, she is just a little naive girl that does not deserve to be pilloried for my betrayal. As the adult, I should have known better and acted a lot better.

Climbing down from our lustful climax, we both knew immediately what we had done, the gravity and the implications it could have on not just us, but grace and the whole family. In the most contrite way possible, we apologized to ourselves and vowed never to repeat it again. We felt it would be better not to tell Grace or anyone and we agreed Abigail would stop coming over. I started to avoid Abigail at all cost. I did not just release cum after my despicable act with Abigail, I released every thing good in me and every form of happiness. I felt much less of a man and wished I had died as a child or better still was aborted.

I hardly could face Grace after. The more I try to ghost her, the more she held on tightly. It became awkward visiting their family house for I was not comfortable around them trusting and accepting me. Not for the fear that they would find out...just my conscience eating me up. I stayed away and made peace with my gross mistake. For over six to seven months. I did my penance and nothing happened with Abigail. I know I am in a better place now to make sane decisions about cheating. To give something back to Grace, I have vowed never to sleep with anyone till die. We know how cheating amongst married men is common these days. I no call Adekule Gold name oh!

Me and Grace are set to marry on the 17th of this April. The thing is...Abigail is her chief bridesmaid and preparation demands I see her most times. She still has a look in her eyes...dunno what to make of it. A look of blackmail? Of you could still hit it if you want? We have unfinished business kinda look? You should be paying a bride price for two look? I die inside every time I see Grace happy she again got us back to talking terms because of the wedding. Ignorance is truly bliss.

I have doubts going through with this wedding. Folks may laugh and say I chickened out because of the inflation and money, others might blame Grace. It may ruin Grace for ever. How do I do this knowing Abigail will always be family?

Allow Grace in her ignorance. Don't tell her anything forever.

Go on with your wedding and try to kill the guilt.

I like your writing skills though. So hilarious!

How can you think of blaming IPOB? Lol.

Omo see Agbero office o

One thing about the Igbo is that when we rise, we rise together. Without a certain MURIC to say trash as is obtainable in a certain skull mining region.

Upforgreatness:
Don't judge him by what someone somewhere post or said about him you don't know what's really going on underground in d party

I read a report that said he has parallel PDP state working committee in all the 6 states of the Southwest.

Reason NWC of the PDP doesn't trust him enough to make him leader of the party in the Southwest.

Vaughanlanrewaj:
That's why it's naive to think elections are won on the social media. He has "millions " of followers, mostly seeemingly disgruntled and unpatriotic, yet none will follow him . That is why he or anyone he supports in any election will lose elections. Talk and type is cheap. To talk and type on your phone in his usual Beaf days on Nairaland is the easy part, the hard part is opening your life to public scrutiny and you will see them run back into their shells or face serious humiliation of reality check. Like Reno like FFK like Senator OUK.

If it was an election now; he will get 1 vote and still shout rigging. He is a "Pastor" without a flock and that could say a bit about his personal character; most who know him offline know him so well that they will never follow him.

Authentic leaders do not have the kind of plenty time the likes of Reno spend on the social media. They will rather regularly devote such excess time to physically making themselves available for a course. It doesn't cost Reno anything Reno to spend all day typing on Twitter.

So of course we should let Buhari his coven do what they want with Nigeria unhindered and unchallenged, abi?

FrLukas:
Historian, lori iro.

Wait, lemme guess, it was you that sold the insecticide to him abi?

Hehehehe...

I'll bet your history class consisted of palmwine stall, gourds of palmwine and plates of peppersoup.

You lots won't stop being funny and ridiculous.

The revered man was 78 years old when he died. He had a thriving newspaper business, which is still very much around, had his people's undying gratitude and love, was surrounded by his children and grandchildren, had a loving wife and wonderful family, left behind a grand legacy, his daughter is the wife of the vice president of Nigeria, even your lord, Ojukwu said of him "Awo is the best president Nigeria never had",... But Mr Penguin2 is insisting he sold him an insecticide.

Is it a common occurrence for successful elderly men in Igboland to commit suicide, cos of your insistence on this narrative?

Just pray that you live as old as the great sage.

The only question is, even if you get to that age, what will your achievements be asides from hating and spreading rumours about the Yorubas?

He had all that but fell short of one dream he so much courted; to be Nigeria's president.

So he died a sad and unfulfilled man.

Even Vice-President sef, him no see.

While Zik rose from being the first indigenous Governor-General of Nigeria to being the first President when Nigeria became a republic. An achievement that your Awo never came a hundred miles close to having.

Pathetic, isn't it?

ThumbzTNA:
Igbo race kicked ass in the month of March. He are our exploits


Lawrance Okolie became the new WBO World Cruiserweight Boxing champion

Kelechi Iheanacho won the Premier League Player of the Month for March.

Kelechi Ndukwe was appointed to assume command of a US Navy Guided Missile Destroyer, USS Halsey (DDG-97), making him the first Nigerian, and Nigerian-American to attain such height in US Navy history.

Ugo Ugochukwu, a 13 year old boy of Igbo desecnt signed a long-term agreement with F1 outfit, McLaren Racing. He's the current European Karting champion.

Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala assumed office as the seventh Director-General of the WTO in Geneva.


If for some reason you aren't happy about this. You are a witch

You will be held responsible if children of the land of skull mining commit suicide in droves

How far lionshare ?

I thought you said Southwest is the capital of Christianity?

Did I not tell you that your region has been conquered?

Or how dare a Grand Kadi suggest Sharia Law for the whole of Southwest? Imagine the effrontery.

Who dare say that about Southeast? Them never born the idiot that will think of thinking it sef not to talk saying it.

I expect MURIC to go hysterical in re-echoeing this statement while your coward governors will hurriedly prepare bills establishing Sharia law to your State Assemblies.

Sorry Southwest.

We warned you!

FrLukas:
Justified?

Heck, the man was the best ever.

I can imagine what you descendants of Azikiwe would be saying today if Azikiwe had won that election.


An eastern region person who wanted to rule over the Western region. Something you lots will never ever agree to happen in the eastern region.


You've always rubbed our liberalism in our face in the West, that's why you still have the temerity to wonder why Westerners didn't want an easterner to come and rule over them.

The reason for a regional government was primarily for self rule and not for some egotistical bigot to take over power outside his region.

Of course, the aim of Azikiwe was to have his people dominate every aspect of the Nigerian polity, which he himself confessed to.

No wonder he was seriously pained when he was roundly defeated in a very smart political move by Awolowo.

Till today, Zik's offsprings from the east are still hating on Awo and his offsprings from the west.

You guys even said that Awo brought tribalism to Nigerian politics long after Azikiwe had said that the Igbos were destined by God to dominate Nigerians and Africa as a whole.

And when that domination wasn't happening, you decided to secede.

You really should pay me for this free history lessons bro. For real.

You must think you are telling me what I don't know.

I'm a Historian for your information. With the history of ancient kingdoms of Nigeria and Africa at my finger tips.

So also the States of Africa and Nigeria specifically.

So don't feel fly.

What I need you to understand is that while you extol Awolowo's treachery, I need you to remember that he gained nothing from it and died a shameful death by consuming insecticide.

And so will all who toe his line.

FrLukas:
Good point.

Still it doesn't erase the fact that most of the politicians you support end up useless even if we accept the fact that you supported the Edo state governor.

That's like 100-1.

And I think this point is relevant given the topic of this thread you've opened.

So thinking that Awolowo didn't become Prime Minister because you didn't support him is myopic in my opinion.

We know how that went down.

We all are still suffering from what your man Nnamdi Azikiwe did.

How did you expect Azikiwe to sanction that both the Prime Minister and the President should come from the south?

Igbos are people of justice and fairness.

We don't do like that.

If you check well, you will find out that the slain Miyetti Allah leader may have been sensible, humane and against the activities of the bandits and that's why they eliminated him.

Check every Muslim leader that Boko Haram has killed in the past, they are always Imams who dared criticize their evil activities.

So don't be fooled!

fergie001:
One death too many.

How?

FrLukas:
Treachery?

What treachery?

Awo played politics to make sure that someone from the Eastern region won't come and be ruling the Western region and you call that treachery?

Hahaha...who are you people sef?

Azikiwe, inviting Awolowo to come for talks on how they can form a unity government, meanwhile heading to the North to sell the entire Southern region to the Fulanis isn't treachery abi?

Funny guy.

So by your assessment, Awo was justified?

FrLukas:
Who is the "we"?

Lol.

Edo people didn't want another Tinubu stooge in their state and they decided to retain a non performing governor for yet another lacklustre tenure.

How's that your doing?

Kwara people didn't want the continuation of the Saraki dynasty and chose to rather vote for a religious intolerant idiot who is preoccupied with enforcing hijab wearing in Christian schools.

How is that our doing?

FrLukas:
Lol.

Who betrayed you and how did they betray you?

I'm curious.

So alliance with the North is enough justification for Awolowo's treachery against Azikiwe?

FrLukas:
Rubbish.


Haven't you always voted who you wanted to vote for in the east, or did they force you to continue to put all your eggs in PDP basket?


How have you lots fared with your so-called votes?


PDP that you've served for donkey years like a slave can't even deem it fit to make you their presidential flag bearer cos they know you are bad market.


All the politicians your people supported have become political nonentities.

Saraki, Dino Melaye, Jonathan Goodluck, Peter Fayose, Atiku, the governorship candidate of Lagos state that you keep supporting jeeps losing spectacularly, even the ruling party PDP which you supported wholeheartedly was destroyed eventually.

You don't know the fvck you're talking about, son.

We supported Obaseki, son!

Where's he today?

bakynes:
Fool, Christainity and Islam are foreign religion brought to Africans. Islam came first some accepted it and when Christainity came some people equally accepted it. Infact Igbos are baby Christains compared to Yorubas, kiss my ass if you dont like it.

Lalasticlala

FrLukas:
Lol.

At this point, if I was Igbo, I'd be really embarrassed by the obsession of my people with the Yorubas.


This obsessive need for validation is getting out of hand.


Can some tell this Mr penguin that Nnamdi Azikiwe shot himself and his people in the foot by forming an alliance with the Fulanis in the North, betraying the entire Southern region?


Una no dey shame, penguin2?

What do you do to someone who betrays you?

Still trust him?

Oshigun:
Lo and behold , one of the 'useful mumus'. Oga, Omokri is only fighting for Atiku 2023 so he gets the political reward/office he has been promised.

From Wike to Omokri ,and other Southerners you lot worship, they are all working for their own private agenda and plotting to assist the emergence of a Fulani President in 2023 aided by gullible 'useful mumus' like you making deluded noise online.

Even your hero Kanu will accept inducement from the "Zoo" if the price is right. It is only gullible elements like you who will never understand that politics, for politicians, remains about permanent interest.

According to your hero Omokri, Atiku is the man to get Nigeria "working again". Naive people like you funny die lol.

So, by your assessment, who has the interest of Nigeria at heart?

Elrufai?

Asgard13:
He used to be....

Like a typical Abakaliki man...he’s feels life is by gra gra..

Hes about to end his political career after 2023.

He will seize to exist

Umahi if by any means becomes President will gladly sell the entire igbo nation to North.. just to impress them
He will lead them b the hand into igbo land build big masarachi all over igbos land and will psychologically push igbos into coverting to Islam
Umahi will pay people to attend mosques just as he’s doing in ebonyi now

Be a Muslim and get a cash reward

Ebonyi people are pure igbos with majority of them having that Abakaliki imbedded in them.

Are you sure about that?

Or that's what you think?

donstan18:
Ebonyi people aren’t full blooded Igbos.


Let’s be serious please. They are way different and behaves like the Hausas.

Is everything okay with you?

I used to think you reasonable.

How dare you Balkanize Igbos?

What instrument did you use in determining original and fake Igbos?

Asgard13:
You make sense bro..

Power return north

If they wan kill all Yoruba people Na dem... who cares

Yuck southern unity..

We’re talking politics .

Fvck southern unity, forever if it comes to that, until the Yorubas have sense.

No ethnic group has monopoly of treachery.

This pigmy thinks himself taller than he will ever be.

Raising uncouth and uncultured swines of children and insulting the sensibilities of every Nigerian.

In the imaginary wall of Jericho he has built around himself, he thinks himself indestructible and that he will never suffer consequences for his actions.

But Greece fell, Rome fell, no empire has lasted forever.

So would the Elrufai and the north fall someday.

plusfield:
My brother, my voice went hoarse where I was warning them. They knew Buhari's govt will do all this happening today, but they thought they would be exempted and igbos will suffer it. But today, the south east region and it's people are the least affected people by Buhari's evil regime. Today, the south east is the safest region in Nigeria. Igbos have the least poverty index now in Nigeria. Transparency International has awarded them the least corrupt region in Nigeria. And they also have the highest literacy level.
What they dont know is that he who is blessed by God, no man can curse

Don't mind the fools.

They are still living in denial.

Tinubu will still join Awolowo in drinking otapiapia.

He has started missing his steps.

Olatomiwami:
So Ebonyi is SW? Ur house is burning u are chasing rat in SW with your chest beating narratives.

In less than 24hrs those that were kidnapped in Ebonyi were rescued.

There are no Sarkin Fulani anywhere in Ebonyi land.

No Ebonyian is displaced.

Can you say all these about Yoruba land?

irepnaija4eva:
Nwanne is time we stop this blame game between 2 southern bfothers.. We should always extend empathy to those victims...

M pretty sure soon a riot trigger will happen, a cascade of event that will unite the south just to liberate themselves from these northern menace..

Since Tinubu and his camp of Yorubas threw Southern unity to the winds in 2015, don't expect Igbos to retrieve the unity from the winds in 2023.

Madam wan cash out na.

He has seen Nigeria is irredeemable.

So make she take her cut and rest

plusfield:
You will not see all the northern fools calling for their arrest, they will keep mute and pretend they didn't see it. Let the people rise up to defend themselves and see how every fulani gathering will rise to make noise, that's when all security agencies will wake up.
I say it, there is nothing like good or bad fulanis. What we have are active bad fulanis and passive bad fulanis. The active bad fulanis are the ones committing the crimes of killing and taking over people's villages, the passive bad fulanis are the ones that will shout and play the victim card once the active bad ones are countered.

But we warned you, didn't we?

You thought you were doing Igbos.

Xisnin:
Wait, I thought Igboho has chased out all herdsmen in Igangan?
What is all the media noise about when he actually didn't do anything?

Igboho is a toothless coward.

Just like their castrated leopard of Amotekun.

We warned them!

I like how Kperogi writes. I will start reading his columns more.

About resentment of Ndigbo by other Nigerians, I have no energy and ink to waste on that.

Igbo resentment is what gives Tinubu urine drinkers orgasm so I won't be the one to argue against their sexual satisfaction.

One thing I wanna let them know is that they are like a dog while the Igbos are like a Caravan: the dog keeps barking while the Caravan keeps moving.

The Igbo is unstoppable!

And someday, and soon, the jinx would be broken.

jahrule:
Are you sure of the bolded, how.many state were contested and how many did NCNC win?. Please use your Google and come back and reply me. Because nobody is responding to a lie doesn't make it a fact.

I know about that fact since 2007 in my SS1.

NCNC won majority in the election.

There's no doubt about it.

No one is arguing it.

Makinde is becoming too cantankerous for my liking.

Used to think of him as a humble man.

But seems he's just a typical Yoruba snitch.
