By popular demand, I present to you the concluding part of the blogbuster 'LIVING IN LAGOS CHRONICLES BY YOURS TRULY. Click on this link LIVING IN LAGOS CHRONICLES BY YOURS TRULY
Honestly, I wasn't hypnotized in any way neither was I under a spell of some sort, at least thats what I tell anyone that asks. But was I? A question I keep asking myself till date, I hope at the end of this,you might be able to give me an answer.
Story begins.....
We drove off to somewhere in Coates Str, EbuteMetta,Lagos Mainland to be precise.We got off the car and made an agreement not to expose the source of the money to the baba, we would tell him that we found the money in a land we plan to buy in Agbara, Lagos.
We walked into a sawmill then to a small yard was where we stopped. As we waited for the almighty 'BABA' to come out, I quivered in fear.
Maybe this wasn't such a good idea, 'I better opt out now', I said to myself.
Just as I was about to let my thoughts out, BABA showed up. Certainly, there was no going back.
I was expecting him to have all those hideous charms' babalawos in Yoruba movies wear but I was a bit disappointed because unlike 'them', he was younger and looked educated, but then, being educated is not written on foreheads, right?
I was the last to enter the shrine and I regret I even did. I shit you not when I say it was scarier than I predicted. You see, I saw skulls everywhere,cowries,calabashes, blood, horns and red clothings. Mehn!!! It was scary. But na wetin I dey find, I dey get !
................
Baba: You all are welcome,what can I do for you?
Driver: We wan make you help us, we see #Ghana-must-go of money for land we buy and we want make you check am for us if we fit sabi spend am.
Baba: O HO
He brings out an Ifa oracle to consult and he shouts in anger
Baba: OMODE O MOGUN ON PE LEFO! You children deceived me, why?You risk the wrath of Ifa on you and your families and even generations yet unborn.
Immediately we fell on our knees to beg for mercy.
Baba: You all should learn to say the truth,he who says the truth spares his life. Oo TO GBA NI 'Truth spares life' .Now since you've all said the truth, I will help you.You need to pay 7,500 naira for consultation.
We gathered our contribution as I dropped the last 1,500 I had.
Baba consults oracle again.
Baba: Before I continue, you need to take an oath of secrecy.
Your's truly now enters the soliloquy mode. Which one be oath again, oath of secrecy for what.Why will I not want to keep it a secret. In fact I don vex, I no do again. Oath ko, Covenant Ni.Na by force.
Baba: My daughter, are you having second thoughts already?
So this man has added mind reading/control to his resume. Oh well, I care less. 'You better read the part that I'm no longer interested and be fast about it before I display my drama queen skills up in here' ...lol
Baba: It is well, all you need to do is eat this kolanut and place your head on this calabash and the oath is sealed
Me: Baba,There is a problem o! Eating kolanut is a taboo for all firstborns of my family and I've been warned against it.
Baba: O! ok.No problem.You can be exempted from eating the kolanut but you must place your head on this calabash.
Me: No problem
At first I thought it was a very bad idea I came here in the first place, even worse that I agreed to place my head on some calabash but no lele as we say in Lagos. I have my Blessed Rosary. I placed my head while everyone else ate kolanuts and placed their heads on the calabash. I don't even care,
all I want to do is leave.
Baba: Since the rite has been completed, all you all need to do now is to get these items. HOLY OIL,HOLY GARMENT,HOLY SALT,HOLY SUGAR,HOLY SAND, HOLY AIR, HOLY THIS,HOLY THAT.....But If you can't get all these, I can arrange for them to be gotten, it will only cost a lot of money. 1.5 Million Naira (N1 500 000) because these items don't come cheap. The money must be brought for the rite before 7days, it must be from your pockets and, not from that bag! Be warned.
My mouth dropped at the cost. For what nau, 1.5million naira! This is it. I no want money again, Adventure e yaf do, 1.5Million Naira Mbok!, abeg abeg abeg, I want to LEAVE. Na only me waka come,I done see and I must conquer, E don do.
Baba: Okay now you all can leave, I need to speak with my ancestors.
Thank God,finally he read my mind. I was asked to drop my number so I gave a fake number to the Frank guy and I took off. I didn't look back ooo!
Until now *wink*#
These people are still out there duping innocent people, you might not be as lucky as I was. Please be alert, be aware and be informed! And like the three statues on Lagos / Ibadan expressway that welcomes you to Lagos says in yoruba 'Ma rindin, Ma suegbe, Ma ya mugu' meaning in simple terms #DON'TDULL. This is Lagos.
Have a great weekend.
Live, Love and Learn.
