Tabdi jam!
Just Imagine! by Umar Saleh Gwani
In my thoughts and speculation, I fancy my position and wealth warrants me to have an educated wife. My first wife is a relation, the second, a daughter of our chief who married her to me to consolidate our ties; We were managing just like we use to, since any mouth created by God will not lack what to eat, for praise and salutation.
Years ago, my body use to shake, my eyes focused as if glued. As for my hands, my pockets are where they belonged; I would not of leave them exposed to wrestle with each other. I used to grin sheepishly till my stretched skin changes colour, I yearned deep in my mind for the day she assents, that will bring the end of my sleeplessness and endless incantations.
A Ciza, A Hura (Carrot & Stick) na Aliyu Wali
As it stands, I the dose of my addiction, I owned an elaborate mansion, I flattered my first wife for patience, I pleaded with the princess to be flexible on her reign because their new partner is also bringing to the household her own contributions. She’s Fashionable and well made up, eloquent in English with a sweet accent, an excellent storyteller. On her duty days, she appears with poise and charm, filling the house with aroma and fragrance, filled up dishes with different courses for my posing guest and I.
Whenever I invite friends to feast, she will be there to sing or read a story. Had all these stories ended at this point, I would’ve said Thank God. But alas, as soon as my friends depart, that’s when I see her true colours making me feel a stranger in my own house.
It was annoyance and anger that took me to the doctor. My consultation visits are filled with joy and laughter in a relaxed atmosphere.
Rayuwa! Na Ibrahim Malumfashi
My high blood pressure and migraine get cured on such visits even after discovering she wasn’t a physician but a nurse; exactly what I need, to be nursed since my educated bride discovered BB, spends the whole day on Whatsapp and Facebook, nights she use for Instagram and Twitter, by day break she is ready 2Go with Badoo. At the end of my tether, a nurse was my final destination; for injuries of the body and soul, how would they ever understand? Blood, royalty and knowledge all desire tender care without laziness or deceit that will usher an understanding of my needs.
Just imagine!
