The sad truth
Someone I know who stays in the US but campaigned vigorously for "Awalokan" came to Nigeria last week. I tried reaching him just to ask about his journey and how he was enjoying Naija at the moment, but his Nigeria number wasn't going through. Almost a week, I didn't hear from him, so I contacted someone who I knew stays close to him. That was how I was able to get in touch.
I asked why his Naija number was not going through, and Baba started ranting: people are disturbing him for money. He couldn't access cash in the bank. He could only do transfers, and the transfer is also frustrating. He has been on generator since he came, he is scared to travel for a function in the next state because of kidnapping and all other excuses. He said the guy driving him literally brought his wife and children to come and greet him and they spent 2 days (Friday - Sunday). The whole family moved in with him to "greet" him...🤣🤣🤣.
I kept saying "eeya", "e pele" throughout the conversation. He is already cutting short his stay because he said he might not survive if he stays till January.
From "Awalokan" to "Enikan l'omo".
