PART 4
" The SHEnanigans"
©️Opeyemi Akintunde  

" I met a beautiful lady today, you should have seen her skin, God! Ada, Money is good. Whoever says I will not have money, the ground will open up and swallow that person in Jesus name." Morayo said to Ada on their way back from Bible Study .

" Was that why you were blushing throughout the service.  I am sure you didn't hear a word out of today's Bible study." Ada queried her

"My dear, we have been listening to Bible study since we were born but who Bible Study help? My dear, I am begining to rethink this Christianity thing ooo, because my mother who was so into the church thing was not protected from death, so I am not afraid of death, anytime it wants to come, let it come. What I am more scared of, is dying without enjoying my life here on earth. Adaobi, it won't make sense that I came to this world to just suffer and die."

" Morayo, we will still have this money, let's just slow down and follow God's plan. Don't let us go ahead of God." Adaobi said

" Where is that coming from?" 

" Do you know I can't remember what I just said to you." Adaobi said laughing

" Na you sabi, Pastor Mrs" Morayo said teasing Adaobi.

Adaobi was Morayo's best friend. Their friendship dated back to infancy. Their mothers attended the same church and they made it mandatory for the girls to attend church every service day. After Morayo's mother died, Adaobi's mum picked up the responsibility of checking up on her. 

" Tell me about the Lady!" Adaobi inquired

Lefty was on clouds nine, he couldn't believe the day that was almost ending in a terrible way suddenly ended good for him.

" I can't wait to see this Chinedu's face when he hears I have started playing for Mayor's club. Is this how luck just shines on a person?" Lefty couldn't keep calm as he started scrolling through his phone. He went through the social media page Wisdom had given him and to his utmost surprise, he saw that the man had personal pictures with most of players of Mayor's club...

" God I pray this guy contacts me!"

Wisdom had refused giving his phone number to Lefty. Wisdom had told him he would reach out to him if the coach was interested. It was part of the strategy of the SHEnanigan, to make the hunted feel privileged.

" This is so legit...My God! " Lefty prostrated almost a hundred times in his rat hole called a room.

" What's with the prostrating? Oga, You are using style to disturb me. I have to resume work early." Bayo, his roommate said as he pulled out their compressed matress from where they had kept it.

They had no furniture in their room and the little space they were using as their sleeping area  was the same place Lefty kept pacing to and fro on.

" Guy, relax, my story is about to change and if you celebrate with me, I will change your level too, you will leave that bank job and be my personal accountant."

" Ok?" Bayo replied smiling

" Guy, I met this man today!" Lefty showed him Wisdom's picture on his phone. "He is a football talent scout, He was the one who found Roberto and Omashola for Mayor's club"

"Really?" Bayo said sounding interested but as he fixed his gaze on the man's picture, his eyes reacted against the man's image. Immediately,  he returned the phone back to Lefty.

" Samuel, the guy is fake." Bayo said

Lefty's smile disappeared...

" What do you mean he is fake? He is not fake, Check his profile, see all his pictures with the players"

" Check the players' pages and check if you have any of his pictures on their pages" Bayo said as he pushed Lefty out of his way

"Why are you so negative? Why is that you don't think I can ever make it big?"

" You know that's not true, you know I am your biggest fan, but I can't see a fake and pretend it is original just to feed your ego or make you happy. Samuel! Calm down, this period will pass. I know what God told me about you and how I will eventually leave my banking job to join you as your manager, but Samuel that time is not now. Enjoy this time, Enjoy this garri drinking time, Enjoy this trekking time, Enjoy this time when you can freely walk on the street, because a time is coming that you cannot do all of that again. God is a God of time and season, He will do things at His own time for you." Bayo preached as usual

" And what makes you feel, my time is not now? Bayo, what makes you feel this man is not the one to help me?" Lefty asked very frustrated 

" Not all opportunities are God's opportunities.  When I see the man who is to help you, I will recognize him."

" Listen Bayo, enough of your ranting. I am done waiting, I am not going to lose this opportunity. Let me try this opportunity,  and if along the way I realize he is not the one, I will back out." Lefty said like he was striking a deal

"And by that time, the real opportunity may have come and met your absence". Bayo said staring him in the eyes

At that point, Lefty was done hearing the negativitism  from Bayo, he stepped out of the room angrily.

Wisdom had received a warning sign on the STAR SEARCHER  that his game was about to be rescued. He hit the notification icon on the Star SEARCHER.  

"Shenanigan Wisdom, Your game has been intercepted by the truth, intercept the truth immediately or you lose your game"

Wisdom immediately brought out his phone and sent a text message...

" Hey Lefty, it was great meeting you today, I spoke with Coach Francis about you today and he would love to have an online meeting with you tomorrow at my place. Attached is a screenshot of our convo about you."

Lefty knew Bayo meant well for him, so whatever he meant by saying Wisdom was a fake could actually be true. Lefty began to tilt towards believing Bayo was right but a notification intercepted his thoughts.

He checked who sent him the text, and surprisingly to him he saw "Wisdom Football scout"...

This was another confirmation for him; he had a phone number detector on his phone. The app had been able to dedect the authenticity of the phone number texting him.

Wisdom had sent a made up screenshot of his conversation with the coach.

Lefty immediately replied;

" Ok boss! Thank you for the opportunity. Tell me where to meet up with you  and I will be there in the morning."

Wisdom sent him the address of one of the Shenanigan project apartments.

******
Wisdom and Osas sat very exhausted...

" That was close!" Osas said

" Yeah... that's why we have to be fast about it."

Osas' alarm disrupted their relief...Osas had received a warning sign on the STAR SEARCHER  that her game was about to be rescued. She hit the notification icon on the Star SEARCHER.  

"SHEnanigan OSAS, Your game is about to be  intercepted, Someone is praying for her. Intercept her  immediately or you lose your game"

Osas and Wisdom looked into each others' eye..

" Her phone number?" Wisdom asked 

" I don't have it..."

" What? We can't lose her! What's her name?" Wisdom said running back to his Star SEARCHER. 

" Mo' "

"Mo...What?"

" Not sure...Modupe or Molayo..."

" Osas! You are unbelievable! , you don't have the full details of your game"

" Like I told you, I wasn't going to hunt when I met her."  Osas rubbed her forehead for ideas...

Evil 1

Evil 1 ……………………………….. Ruth walked along the pedestrian way with bags hanging from her hands. She dragged her tired feet with her mind focused on reaching her destination; her home. She’d gone out as usual to sample some textile materials to people and hoped they would buy. That was her business and the family depended majorly on the income from it. Her husband, Tunde, had become almost dependent since after losing his job in a bottling company some years back. Since then, he had refused fo seek for a permanent employment and only engaged in ‘adhoc’ employments which came once in a while. Sadly, she made no sales that day after trekking around the town under the scorching sun. As she walked carrying her bags of textile materials and hoping to get home before her tired legs would give way, a mad man walked briskly past her. It was not a thing to worry about as mad people were common sights around the town. But after taking a few steps forward, the mad man ran back and tapped her on the s...

COMING TO LAGOS      CONTINUATION. . . Coming To Lagos. . . Ep 12 Anita. I haven’t called her yet since the dream I had. I decided to try her number. “Hello! Hello!!” I said into the receiver as I couldn’t hear anything from the other end but she had picked the call. I had to put my phone on speaker to support the normal speaker and that was when I heard it. “What’s wrong, Anita? Are you crying?” “He wants to kell me.” “Who? Who wants to kell you?” I asked sitting up on my bed. “My boyfriend. . . He. . He wants to kill me.” “Where are you?” “I’m inside and I have locked the door. I heard him stepping out and once he returns, he’ll kill me.” “No matter what us happening, you can’t sleep there tonight. Have you called anyone whom you can stay with?” “I just called two of my friends but the said they’re not around. I’m dead.” She begins to weep again. I couldn’t help but wonder what must have happened but he’s just her boyfriend, why would he hit her? After few minutes of si...

My mother married my husband 6

-
My mother married my husband Episode 6 I didn't have anywhere to sleep, I couldn't go back to the village. People will begin to ask questions, I sold all the jewelry Femi bought for me since we got married. I used the money to rent a small apartment, got a bed, and other little things I needed.  The compound wasn't much but I had to manage knowing it's my starting point in life. I never got rid of my son's clothes, I made sure they where still safe in his boxes. Sometimes I sleep on them, imaging he was there with me.  I got back to the hospital for my son's body, I wept so much when I saw jimmy cold and stiff in a white dress. I took to the general cemetery and buried him, my tears that day knew no bounds.  I felt like dying with Jimmy, I felt like all hope was lost. I sat close to his grave singing his favourite gospel song, telling him how much I miss him and love him.  "Jimmy I promise you on this day January 3rd 2015, I will never forget you, I will ne...
