CHAPTER
TWO

Dayo is a romantic soul. He saw perfection in me. He made me feel like a happy soul but I never showed love to him. I was after my education.

***Don't blame me, am the first child of my parents, the first grand-daughter***

He made me realize that I can be a married woman and also a student. I on the other hand was scared to open up to my parents concerning marriage at a tender age of twenty. My father will roast me alive.

Dayo addressed me as “sweetness”. He taught me how to love. I wake up to see love messages via messenger and sms.

He is too romantic.. His lines were “I will wait for you, it's you I want”.

He calls me every time. He always longed for my voice… He made love perfect.

At some point, I got scared because his love was choking me.

I was not beautiful, I wonder what he saw in me. Despite my looks, this handsome soul wouldn't let me drink water and drop the cup.

My pictures still remain on his Facebook profile. He always celebrate me.

Dayo wanted the best for me, he was the best thing that ever happened to me but I was scared of going into a relationship with someone who is educated.

When I got to year two, he called to reassure me of his love and I asked him to move on. “I am not going to get married till i graduate from school, I also want to make my family proud by being the first graduate of my parents.” Dayo cried. I saw a mature man in his thirties sobbing over a little girl under twenty. He shed tears constantly.

******sobs uncontrollably*****
I want to drop the pen here. Words fail me. I'm in tears.

****Let me continue the story***
Dear readers, Are you with popcorn and chilled yoghurt? If you are the emotional one like me�

Dayo!
Dayo!!
Dayo!!!

*****

In 2016, my second semester result was released. I had missing results. I cried and had no one to talk to. I was scared of carryover. Dayo was the only one I could confide in due to the fact my parents are strict. He talked to me over the phone. The following morning, Dayo was at my doorstep drenched in rain. What manner of love is this? He travelled from Lagos to Ibadan all for me.

I was surprised because i expected him to be at work plus he didn't notify me of his coming. I welcomed him and I was somehow happy He was around. I told him all that happened and he requested I write to the department concerning my missing results.

“Dayo, I can't write a letter” I said.

“My sweetness, I'll write it for you.”

After writing the letter, he followed me to my department to submit the letter. He spent two days and went back to Lagos.

During the time of his visit, He washed my clothes, prepared my meals, took me out, and filled my kitchen with foodstuffs. He Still sends me romantic text messages whenever we are together but no intimacy. With all of these, I still don't want to be married at that age.�

******

A month later, my results were released. He became happy. I could feel it. He sent me money to chill out in order to celebrate my good results. “You made me proud, my sweetness” He said over the phone.

*****

My school went on break. I travelled home to visit my parents. Dayo was happy that I was back in Lagos State. He invited me to his church. I agreed to worship in his parish the next Sunday. It was my first time attending his church. We both attended The Redeemed Christian Church of God but different parishes..

I dressed up and headed to Dayo’s church in Agege. The moment he saw me, he smiled. Happiness filled his face, he couldn't believe I would show up. It was their youth anniversary. He introduced me to church members as his girlfriend during the youth program. I was shy, i was scared not to see anyone am familiar with.

After the program, he took me to his pastor’s office. The pastor prayed for us. After the prayer, he counselled us and asked for my genotype. My genotype is AC, Dayo smiled.

CHAPTER
ONE

The moment I received my certificate, I snapped a few pictures and sent it to my WhatsApp family group chat.

I glanced at the certificate and smiled. I wished he was here to see me, I wished he was closer to me to see his own investment.

He was my first love, it was love at first sight. We dated for three years. After ignoring him for one year, I succumbed to dating him.

I was so young, naive. I just graduated from high school at age seventeen. He just concluded his NYSC in Kano State.

We met each other when I went to visit a friend. He couldn't stop calling me.

After I agreed to date him, he made a promise to foot part of my school bills. Three years into our relationship, He wants to get married to me.

I was too young. I just clocked 20years. I was so angry. How dare you preach marriage to me? Oh is it because you are done with education, you want me to be an illiterate performing wife duties? No, that won't happen!!! I couldn't wait to listen to Dayo. I stopped picking his calls.

He couldn't stop calling, I didn't know how he got to my house that night. He cried and wailed claiming he couldn't sleep.

His parents were on his neck for marriage. He felt I would be happy but a poor girl like me was after education and nothing more. I forgave him but nothing made sense to me again.

I gave him attitude, I made him depressed. I wake up to several messages from Dayo daily. He kept disturbing me. But poor me, I still ignored it. Don't blame me, I never knew love could hurt so much.

I resumed school for the next semester, he came around but I didn't allow him to spend the night. Despite my mood towards him, he never stopped playing his part in my education. He buys my handouts, pays my lodge fees.

I blocked him for some period of time due to his constant marriage talks.

Dayo was 33, I was 20. I was young and with a small stature.

In all, he still sent his part(promise) till I graduated. No intimacy, just hugs and French kisses...

Few days ago, I snapped my certificate to appreciate and him for all he did for me. He smiled and said “I am grateful you didn't give up, but but but…"���

Emotions couldn't allow me to finish the story. This is me crying for putting someone in pain...

***to be continued***

My Dayo!!! Wherever You Are, Always Remember That I Missed You.

PoliticsRe: Buhari: 2023 Elections Will Be Devoid Of Any "Wuruwuru" by Rick9(m): 7:50am On Aug 05, 2022
Artiiclebeast:
I have a truckload of negatives to say about Bubu but on this, I'd be humble enough to admit that he did well.

Bubu was tricked in 1983, used, and kicked to the curb by the roguish Maradona who thought he could play a fast one the timid Fulani herdsman.

The Military cabal of the time headed by the one who supervised the swift decline of Nigeria to this level (IBB) under the sponsorship of MKO was surprised to see Bubu going off script and stifling their criminal and druggie business and had to gang up to sack him.

Exactly the same script played out in 2015 when the Alibaba and his 40 thieves propped up Buhari yet again in the hopes that he'd play to their script and thereafter nominate, support, and influence their ascension to the throne.

But Bubu had his game plan and resolved to do them waka shege and make them all abandon the party back to their vomits in APC while the ones desperate enough to remain in APC were forced to release a single titled "Emi Lokan"...

You want play with Fulani man ba? Danbruba

I pity the ones gullibly propping up Atiku.

He's playing the same old trick of humility and pandering to everyone's quest, making e enter Aso rock first. That one kleptomania na follow come.

Having been humiliated the first time, Bubu was resolute in coming back and doing something and leaving a legacy (Good or bad) the jury is still out on that.

We are all witnesses to how many attempts Bubu made to stage a comeback with no luck until 2015.
Perhaps that was when he decided that the legacy he'd leave behind was to set the ground for proper elections in the country without any undue interference hence, the amended electoral reform bill act he followed through and delivered on.

PDP show Bubu she and he knew that was something he had to correct. Talk about the experience of being the best teacher.

Everyone despises Bubu at the moment, but his party people and the ones who propped him up hate him the more for not doing what the previous incumbent had always done, after all, the Nigerian citizens will grumble for a while and thereafter it'd have been business as usual.

Bubu say whosai....to your tent oh everyman.

Go slug it out on your own and Emilokan by yourself.

If the citizens decide to be Emilokan no wahala

Should they decide to be Athiefkulate, ba kwomi

If dem wan Obidient, e no kwansain me.

Bubu the wicked producer...the only man wey sabi mind him business and block him ears.

I do not ever wish to be politically correct or have everyone agree with me when analysing the issues with Nigeria because the ills are too enormous to dissect in one particular trajectory.

If the next President is bold enough to be as nonchalant to the hues and cries of the citizens as Buhari had been all through his term and go about facing one of the ills of this country be it Corruption, power generation, economy, or security, we'd have gotten another issue addressed.

A President who would want to score some cheap points applauds, and caring about what the citizens and media say about his image will fail in achieving a single deliverable from his to do list.

With the way the present Nigeria is setup, any attempt to pander to the yearnings of the citizens to resolve all the ills at the same time will lead to an abysmal failure.

The issues need to be addressed one at a time while other sectors suffer.

This is to say, Nigerians aren't going to have it any easier in the coming years no matter who wins. This is the reality and honest truth.

Buhari has given us the electoral bill and the powers to vote, have our votes counted, and our choice elected, let's see what the next man will do.

If only we could get someone who'd be able to rally the rogues for a discarding of the current nonsense called the constitution and a true and proper constitution drawn up to address every agitation and skewness in the current trash, we would have succeeded in laying the proper foundation upon which we can begin to build a true country alongside the electoral reform act.

But as it presently stands, the above is a pipe dream and impossible with the present thieves and their masters who'd have everything to lose.

All in all, Buhari did some people motor, refused to be used and dumped the second time, and is leaving us with an opportunity to begin to get excited about voting and participating in the electoral process and in my opinion, this is laudable.

The Obidients are all fired up, hopeful, and dare to dream of having their candidate win the next Presidential election, it is as a result of Bubu's electoral reform act.

That the Batties are confident that their candidate is the best and most qualified candidate to win it not minding anyone's opinion of him and the lack of the Federal influence, it is all because of Buhari's shege to them all.

That the Athiefkulates are for the first time not so confident in their quest and almost mute in the build-up, we have Buhari's Messiship to thank for that.

Ye Nigerian youths, the ball is now in our court to decide.

Bubu has done his bit and is bowing out soon.

Call him whatever name you think he deserves, let's see where and how we go from here.

I'd love for someone to start a thread where we can discuss the issues bothering us as a nation.

I want to read and learn from the egg heads here and have a decent and mature debate.

If you like insult me, e no kwansign me.
Let's argue, disagree, and debate with facts. That's how civilised people do.

We musnt all agree on all topics and issues. We no be sheep or goats wey be one way all the time.

Even teeth and tongue no dey agree all the time

I hail una..
Peace guys.
Sir/Ma I took my time to read all your write up and I am thrilled.
Buhari might not had performed well as expected but he won my respect with that electoral reform bill making sure that elections are free and fair and that votes would count.

Electoral Malpractices prevented him for many years from becoming president now I understand what role Buhari had to play in the grand scheme of things.

I was extremely happy when President Buhari won that 2015 elections for one major reason, he broke the monopoly of power that PDP held on to for many years. PDP always had this belief that ruling was their birthright until Buhari came and changed that.

Having blocked all the electoral loopholes, people are now having the confidence to get their PVCs to vote. Believing that their votes would count.

APC and PDP would have it hot this 2023, it wouldn't be easy at all.

Respect to Bubu abeg.

I like this move. Bringing Wike on board to help secure the South and Wike still has thousands of loyalists and Rivers is a strong
political power house and if Wike should defect believe me thousands would defect with him.
Then he support Obi for Presidency and later go for another position like Senate.
Then Obi merge with Rabiu Kwankwaso NNPP.

Checkmate

Anything that would obliterate PDP and APC is welcome by me
In saber clime, those two parties ought to be in extinction by now.

Let Obi and Kwankwaso merge together, then Kwankwaso become his vp after their 8 years tenure end. Kwankwaso would then contests again for Presidency and he would win. Because Nigerians are determined this time to bury APC & PDP.
just one move of the pieces on the chess board and in the end everyone gets what they truly deserve...
