Episode 4
I must have slept because I woke up to Abayomi’s tap.
Abayomi: time to go home sleeping beauty.
Me: oh thank God you are safe, what of Toun?
Abayomi: she is fine, let’s go dear.
I wanted to ask about Timi, but it would have sounded weird. It was about 6pm when Abayomi for me. I recognized the rickety Mazda immediately we stepped outside. Toun was seated at the back, Abayomi joined her. Timi opened the door of the front seat for me…why didn’t Abayomi just sit in front with him…silly boy
Timi: how are you?
I saw genuine care in his eyes when he asked that question. I had been scared, I didn’t know what would have happened if he hadn’t come for me.
Me: I am fine
Toun: we were looking all over for you until Timi told us you were safe.
Abayomi: yeah, we were..
I know a reasonable person would have told Timi thank you , but I wasn’t ready to be reasonable with this boy that scarred my heart.
Abayomi: Timi, you get any idea wetin cause those people to throw way like that
Timi: baba, I no know o…you will need protection though, atleast till the election is over.
Toun: baby, I think you should consider those people o…them uche
Abayomi: yes babe, I thought about it..what do you think Timi?
Me: no way… we cannot be coerced to dine with the devil
Timi was smiling..
Me: why are you smilling?
Timi: I always liked your strength..
Yeah right, after rescuing me from fright some hours ago….mumu boy
Abayomi: what do you think jare Timi?
Timi: I will go with Tana on this one..

Before we knew it, both of them were kissing at the back
Toun: I love you boo
Abayomi: me too dear…
I caught Timi stealing a glance at me…..
*****
In mini-campus, the gun shots were all they were talking about, though we hadn’t recorded any casualty, students exaggerated the entire incidence; some saying as many as 3 students were killed. Since it was Monday morning, I tried forgetting about everything elections and focus on my studies. I had Bot-305 from 9-11, Toun as usual was beside me gisting me on how she and Abayomi spent it. The lecturer was running late as usual when we heard beatings of drums from outside the auditorium, then some students danced into the lecture hall. At the middle of the dancing was National. He was dressed in buba and sokoto..He went to the front of the auditorium to address us..
“Great Nigerian students!”
“great!”, students replied
“I am here to give you important reasons why you should vote for me as the next SUG president of this great institution. Just like you, I am tired of the lies, corruption and incompetence that have corroded the institution known as the SUG. I am fed up of the students not having a voice to fight for them when the authorities come up with painful policies. I cannot sleep at night because of the insecurity the entire student body faces, our lecture halls are overcrowded, our library books are outdated, and we don’t have a proper school transport system”
Students were excited; he had gotten their attention…
“it is a shame that we don’t have a school hostel, even with the amount of money the government is pumping into the school, it’s a pity that our graduates might have to wait 3/4 yrs. before they can get their certificates..i say all these must stop!!!!!!!!”
The students started banging the table. They were excited..
“I am your man, my government will serve you, we will listen to you…we are not far away from you…most especially….we are you!!!!”
Students couldn’t take it anymore; they lifted National up high, shouting “you have won”
I looked at this foolish students in my class, have they forgotten I was running for vice-president for Abayomi?..i mentally noted all the chief dancers in my class..
Toun: see this people o…don’t they know my boyfriend is running again?
Me: don’t mind them o..
I picked up my phone and dialed Abayomi’s number
Me: boss, you have to come to mini-campus o, National is campaigning here…abeg come
Abayomi: I am coming, call Timi, and tell him to meet me there in 15 min
Okay, it’s been more than a year I had dialed those digits, I hadn’t forgotten any digit
Me: come to mini-campus, Abayomi wants you here with him..
Timi: I am here.
Me: where?
Timi: at the back of the hall you are seated in..
I turned back to verify his claim…true to his word, he was there, in a white shirt and blue jeans..
Timi: I have been following National’s train. Having a feel of him
Me: and what do you think, Do you think we still have a chance?
Timi: you have me..you always have a chance
Me: whatever mehn….hope you have propped Abayomi for the speech he must deliver..
Timi: not at all…I have other plans..
National and his people were already leaving the auditorium, with a thunderous applause in their wake….
Timi: that’s my cue…I am next…you should be ready
Me: next for wha…..
He hung up…I saw him go to the front of the stage…Toun looked at me surprised…
Timi started..
“Greatest Nigerian students!”
“great!” students replied
“greatest Gbo Gbo”
“Gbo Gbo”, they replied
“greatest gba gba”
“Gba Gba” they replied
‘Greatest shhhhhhhhhh”
“shhhhhhhhh”…
There was pin drop silence…then Timi started talking.
********
Most students wanted to hear what Timi had to say, they knew National, they knew Abayomi...they knew Timi was associated with a candidate, they wanted to hear what he had for them
“I am standing here not on behalf of myself but on behalf of people who really want change in this school. I am not going to sugar-coat any words or give promises, I will tell you about this people and why they deserve a chance to serve you.”
With the silence in the hall, you could hear if two mosquitoes were straffing..
“what is the biggest problem we face as a student body?...some of you say security, others say hostels..etc..you are not far from it, but we think the biggest problem we face as a student body is the right to be a student of this great institution. We are all seated in this auditorium…but how many of us have completed the payment of our fees?. Many brilliant people among us have no idea if they would be allowed to write the examinations due to non-payment of fees, the economy of Nigeria is bad, our parents are doing their best…but some of them can’t afford it because it is too expensive”
A couple of “yes”…”beeni”..could be heard.
“this is 2007, you are still being forced to buy books that are free online, this is 2007, the campus doesn’t have a wireless network, even schools not as prestigious as this have that!”
Students started clapping
“If with the limited resources provided to you, you guys can still excel tremendously in your various fields, imagine if you had the required resources!”
Students were on their feet..clapping in unision
“ imagine if you didn’t have to worry about excessive school fees only about your studies and exams!”
“solidarity forever….” Hymns started in the background
“imagine if everybody was free to roam the streets of Ago-iwoye, ijebu-oru and ijebu-igbo anytime, because the school has its own police station, roaming the streets …providing security”..
I didn’t know what Timi had smoked to the lecture hall…but he was on fire
“lemme tell you about somebody, when we were in 100L, during Chemistry practical exams, we had limited amount of Petri-dishes and conical-flasks…the department said there was nothing they could do about it until they got resources from the school, so the exams was to be post-poned.., an anonymous student went to Lagos that very afternoon and by the next day, brought this items for the chemistry-lab. This is not hear say…this student gave me the items to deliver myself”
Many students remembered the episode but when the items were brought in, they had imagined the school had rescued them. Ofcuz I remembered the episode…
“National and his colleagues held this mic some minutes ago to address you, what they didn’t know was that this wonderful mic that we use today without saying “testing testing 123” like before was provided by a student anonymously, when the department started dragging their feet on getting a new one”
Astonishing looks spread across the hall
“though this person would like to remain anonymous…I refuse to let it remain so!”
The students started clamouring “Yes! Yes! Yes!”
“I present to you a girl, who has never waited for people to hand her things, but have instead provided things for people…for the hungry…she gave food…for the distressed she gave a listening ear…and for the dancers…if you were with us on Saturday she gave music!”
People started laughting..
“and most especially…her most important gift…was her love. She is running as the vice-president for Abayomi… I present to you Ms Tana Dike!”
The applause was so loud, i didn’t hear on time that my name was being chanted…
“Tana!....Tana!....Tana!....all eyes were on me…Timi stretched his hand beckoning on me to come to the front. Even Toun was cheering me up ..
When I got to where he was, I know a reasonable person was supposed to say “thank you”, but I didn’t…instead I hugged him..
i hugged Timi..
*******
Abayomi didn’t need to utter a word when he breezed into the hall, he got cheers and a lot of unknown handshakes. He came beside me, grinning sheepishly..
Abayomi: what are all these about
Me: ask your campaign manager…he swept everybody off their feet
Abayomi: including you?
Me: yes..
He stupidly winked at me.
Dr Nnamdi, the lecturer taking Bot 305 came into the auditorium, bringing to an end a very eventful morning.
After lectures I proceeded to the kakadu, Oru, to have a meeting with Abayomi as regards the incidence that happened during the rally on Saturday. He was seated with a bottle of dry gin and a bottle of coke
Me: drinking so early..what is happening boss?
Abayomi: we have to sort out our security
Me: yes I agree..
Abayomi: what do you want to drink?
Me: Schweppes lemon..
Abayomi: I heard it aint good for your health or so
Me: I don’t have balls mahn….plus I think it’s just rumor’s. No medical fact.
Abayomi: I think we should take uche’s offer..
Me: I am not comfortable with it
Abayomi: I listen to your fears regularly and you know it, but I think this risk is worth it, we have just five weeks before the election…we need the money and the security
Me: but the monopoly is what I don’t like, what of other people that woukld want to start up their own game centres or cd stands?
Abayomi: how many game centres do you want in a campus sef?..this is a campus o..
Me: Abayomi, you have the right to accept their offer without asking for my attention, what is it you want?
Abayomi: I want us to reach an agreement together
Me: you won’t get that. I am sorry..
Abayomi: Uche gave me till this afternoon, or they would shift camp to National’s..
Me: do what you have to to..i won’t support it..
Abayomi: please na..
Me: don’t beg me jor..i might not agree with you. But you know I will have your back
Abayomi sipped his drink cooly, looked at me for a while then picked up his phone..
Abayomi( on phone): uche howfar?
…..mehn…I dey o..
….yes I just finished talking to my people now…
…….no deal bro…the monopoly thing is the sticky part..
…..yes I am sure
……I am sorry bro..
…no problem…National is all yours…
….i will take my chance bro…
He hung up..
Though I felt bad I had put Abayomi in a tight position…he reminded me why he was my best friend.
*******
I was tired with the amount of messages I was getting from Acho, telling me he has broken up with Yewande and it was the devil and shii.. I reminded myself that I would have to have a frank discussion with him. Another thought that crossed my mind was Timi. I was silly to have hugged him, now that’s all I can think of. Toun and I had agreed to go share fliers at bele , which was the most crowded hangout spot in Ago. I didn’t like the idea of visiting Ijebu-igbo so soon after the fracas, Timi and Abayomi would pick us up and drop us at bele while they proceeded to Ijebu-igbo.
I kept convincing myself I wasn’t dressing so nice to impress Timi, this was how I dressed often..but did I use lip-gloss at night?...no…I cleaned it. Toun was lying in my bed, all she wore was a tank top and a mini-skirt. Still she looked hot!..Abayomi was a fool o..in fact I was gonna talk to him.
Toun: I have something to tell you Tee.
Me: what?
Toun: someone told me Abayomi has something to do with Kofo
I didn’t like where the conversation was going
Me: something like what
Toun: that she was his side-chic
Me: where did you hear this ?
Toun: Evelyn, the one studying French.
Me: that girl can say rubbish ehn…don’t just believe people o…
Toun: I just need you to find out if anything is going on…I know you like Abayomi but I am your friend also..
I seriously hated where we were now…
Me: I am the wrongest person babe, I can never rat on Abayomi..
Toun: even for me?
Me: yes
Toun: I always liked your bluntness, but right now I hate you
Me: I know honey, you will like me soon!
Toun: I guess I have to find out myself
Me: lets get ready for bele..
Toun: yes o…amma shake my bumbum
Me: looool…
*******
The knocker of my door was Abayomi, he didn’t even pay attention to me as I opened the door, and instead he pounced on his girlfriend. I wish I had the opportunity to warn him.
Toun: hold you kiss
Abayomi: what is this? We weren’t late now; Timi had to fuel his car
Toun: whats my business if you are late? Only God knows were those lips have been
Abayomi: babe are you hungry...Tana why didn’t you give her excellency food?
Me: na una sabi, lets go jor..
Timi was waiting in the car when we got there,thankfully Abayomi sat infront with him.
Toun: oga Timi, when you go change this car now?
Timi: me and this car have been through the good and the bad..she is my buddy…
Toun: abi you are waiting for the 200,786 naira..
Everybody laughed…including me..Timi looked at me and winked…i yawned like I was bored all of a sudden. He didn’t seem to mind…then my thoughts switched to one time in this car…..
I had late lectures that ended 6pm, I called my then boyfriend, Timi to come pick me up. He had been looking particularly cool that day, as usual whenever I had late lectures, he brought me food and we would eat in the car together, my favorite was chips and fish, and he sure knew it. That evening, he drove me to a secondary school field close to olopomerin…at that time most students had gone home. He pulled back his car seat, wound up the car windows and pulled me to his laps. He didn’t kiss me on the lips, he went to my neck…pulled my top up and pulled a cup of my bra down. After sucking my nips till I started groaning, he lifed my skirt, shifted my white g-string to the side and stuck his finger in. I started moving up and down his finger…after a while, I brought out his dick, while my mouth enveloped his cape..my left hand teased his balls..his hands grabbed my butt from beneath the skirt and gave it a sweet squeeze..i gasped, I was shaking..shivering. Then he lifted me by the lap till my nips was same level with his lips..he didn’t lick it for so long before lowering me on his dick. My moistness and warmth spread to accept his hardness.. I wrapped my hands around his neck….and started riding him like a cow-girl…
Toun: Tana!
Me: what?
Toun: what are you thinking about…mtchwww..where should they drop us?
Me: front of Best care hospital…we will walk to bele from there..
