The Nigerian Graduate - Season 1 - Episode 4

☆☆☆☆

“Shina, are you up already?”

“Yes Honey. I’m going home right now,something came up” he said adjusting his wristwatch.

“To do what” I sprang up, deepdown, I love his company and I wanted to be with him more especially because of food.

“Mum needs me, I’ll be back in a jiffy” he pecked me n left my room.
I slept a little more and decided to do some chores, I swept the room and on unlocking my door, I heard doors cracking and people coming out, I opened the door and the first person who greeted me was Sheyi.

Sheyi was my next door neighbour, he was so fake that even his hairstyle was fake, he also was a perfect ‘runsboy’who makes money from servicing old women, dear readers, Sheyi was a liar, serial cheat, womanbeater, imposter and a ‘yahooyahoo’ he afforded a tainted black Toyota ‘pencillight’ Camry and to him, it was a baby, the car was his wife. He was a university dropout but lied to everyone that he was a masters student in EKSU. I did not believed him, he knew I knew he knew I never believed him, he could boast for Europe. He tried to avoid me always especially the day I caught him with our co-tenant’s wife and also our Almighty Onome, he hated me and was always doubting my lifestyle.
For the first time in 2015, he greeted me’
“Riri, morning to you” he approached smiling, I noticed almost everyone in the house was around that Friday morning and I knew their reason: APROKOS.

“Morning, Sheyi”

“I fetched those two jerrycans for you when water came” I was surprised, everyone murmured. One thing about Sheyi, he would not do anything for you for free and if he did, you’re going to pay in a way you never expected.

A case study was when Mr. Onabisi, a former neighbour traveled to Onitsha and on his arrival, Sheyi went to pick him from the park, it was later when Mr. Onabisi sent his wife packing and later packed out of the house that we knew Sheyi was smashing Mrs. Onabisi and the day he went to pick the husband, they strafed.
Immediately, I knew he was up to something but trust me,I was smarter. “Thanks” I said

“You are welcome.” He said grinning,”more so, I want to see you later.” He said and left.

“Aunty Riri, how’s your visitor” it was Mama Susan who asked.

“Which one” I asked. By now, all my neighbours were either leaning on the railings or standing by their doorpost and little who were matured were peeping through their windows.

Mama Susan was our street back bitter, she was married to Baba Susan, an Hausa man who was a ‘mekanika ejiniarin”(mechanical engineer) like his wife would say. She was a fullhouse wife and it gave her all the time needed to pokenose into others affairs. She could open her mouth and say anything to anyone at anytime. There was an instance which happened few months back when Onome was strafing ‘Magic fingers’, another internet fraudster in my street and one Mr. Hammed, a banker, Magic fingers had a girlfriend who was schooling in EKSU who was a living-in girlfriend while Mr. Hammed was married, Mama Susan told Magic finger’s girlfriend Onome’s escapades when they were both making hair at a salon down the street, what actually happened was that, Onome was close to Caro, Magic finger’s girlfriend and took her as her street sister,so Caro was at the salon making hair when Onome walked in, greeted her and left, that was when mama Susan opened the can of worms, how magic fingers would sneaked into our compound, how Onome was visiting him while Caro was in school and how they would go to an hotel and straffed in his car. Caro, being a crazy Ado babe left the Salon without finishing her hair and went to ask Magic fingers if they were all true, he denied it but Caro had plans already, she offered to pay Mama Susan a substantial amount to track them down and call her anytime they were together, Mama Susan declined the money and promised to help her for free.

The d-day came and it was on a Saturday evening, Magic fingers came into our compound under the guise of coming to seeSheyi but later sneaked into Onome’s room, trust Mama Susan, she called Caro immediately and it happened….
….
I was sitting on the long bench outside my room that fateful night when Caro came, at first, I thought Magic fingers was in Sheyi’s not until Caro passed Sheyi door and knocked at Onome’s door, she knocked softly that no one could smell the danger lurking around until Sheyi came outside his room.

“Babe, how far?” He said grinning”Magic fingers no dey here na” he said smiling sheepishly.

“Do I tell you I’m looking for Magic fingers, e don’t dey house na, I wan borrow comb from Onome”

“Okay” Sheyi said and knocked. “Onome, come out o, na me” it was later we knew Sheyi knew Caro’s plan but decided to watch free match between Onome’ Pacquiao’ and Caro eyan mayweather.. He was seeing Onome and was jealous magic fingers enjoyed Onome more than him. Onome opened the door and before she could look up, Caro dragged her out letting her towel fell and believe me, she was stark naked, Mama Susan handed a readily prepared water and garri to Caro who bathed with it, they fought and Onome who was already naked tore Caro’s top revealing some fresh flesh, the fight was so interesting that everybody in the street including the Okada riders were all watching free p--n movie. Even though, most of them had tasted Onome, Caro’s visible upper body was the center of attraction. Caro sighted Magic fingers who was almost escaping and they started another round of argument, Magic fingers exposed his girlfriend claiming he was not in love with her again because after spending his money onher, she still drew s-x timetable for him and Onome, the animashaun was there to service him. They argued and fought for over 45minutes when we heard a shout…
Onome ran outside in paining shouting on the top of her voice, she was followed by a man who was in boxers who ran speedily out of our compound , everyone was confused and lost, even Caro and Magic fingers had to step outside for the new episode of the seasonal movie.

A womancame out of Onome’s room with a bucket half filled with pepper, to cut the story short, when onome saw that Magic fingers and Caro were arguing and fighting, everyone was engrossed that no one knew when Mr. Hammed, the banker entered into her room, Mama Susan on seeing her rushed to call Mrs. Hammed who hurriedly brought along a bucket of pepper anddud justice to Onome and her husband. No one knew when Caro and magic fingers left our compound and the next morning, they were together, Magic fingers drove Caro to school, I SMH,
