As
I headed home from church on Sunday, I saw something that looked like a street
fight, spreading like wild fire. Trust me to enquire what was "gwan".
It turned out to be a menace that is fast eating up the youths these days... On
a closer range, a lady, I understand they call her Tami, was been forced out of
by her brothers and her mum from her live-in lover's house. And guess what, SHE WAS RESISTANT.
She insisted she is
going no where, neither is he packing out. I heard her mum
lamenting..."Tami, no be so dem dey marry man, if he wan marry you, make e
come pay your dowry, your papa pay my dowry" meanwhile, her brothers were
trying to attack her lover and Tami insisted they ll have to kill her first
before touching him.
Well,
I gathered that Tami and her boyfriend, Austin, both students of a Tertiary
institution have been cohabiting as "husband and wife" without any
form of traditional commitment or whatsoever, and of course without the
knowledge of their parents and family members. News even have it that she has
had to abort twice and almost lost her life on the second one. She fetches
water, cooks, wash his cloths, organise the house, warm his bed and gets beaten
on the slightest situation, yet she is constantly monitoring him against other
girls.
Despite
her academics suffering brutally she is still hell-bent on staying with Austin
no matter what anyone says. One of the compound women says to Tami's mother, "make
una comot una pikin for this boy hand o,or pursue the boy comot for una pikin
house o, because the way e dey beat am ehn, one day e go just kill am"
while that was on, Tami's resistance has triggered her brother to slap her
ruthlessly...Austin fights back and there is total chaos...Tami screams, "you
people should leave my husband alone o, to get a husband is not easy o"...
A
well-beaten Austin responds, "your husband? When did we get married? Who
would marry a lady like you with these hoodlums as your brothers?... You could see
visible flame on their heads...Tami, flared up, went for his jugular, "you
must be joking, after all I have done for you, after you have seen everything"
PANDEMONIUM. It went gaga...
