Must Read: se*x, Drugs And Being An Agbero 18+... Part 5

By 4:30 Bayo woke me up, and signalled for me
to keep keep
quiet. We tiptoed out of the room.

Bayo: bad guy, you are not kekere after all

Me: mehn!..that girl is sweet

Bayo: dnt worry , I will take you to sweeter girls, oh I forget say
you wan leave me go back house.

Somehow I had regrets too.

Me: so when are we going to the hospital?

Bayo: in the morning, today is sallah, we must
help Alhaji kill his rams. Its a tradition. He is like a Dad to me.

As we climbed okada, I felt remembered last
night. I wondered if
I had a girlfriend that was waiting for me, or
given up. Or
sleeping with my best friend.

Me: so why dont you have a room of your own?

Bayo: what do I need a room for? I have
Shade’s room, I have
Ezinne’s room and plenty like that. And I have
the park. If I am
alone, I sleep in my bus. You know sometimes your body needs
renewal…you have to renew it alone,
sometimes with people, or
you will die young.

Me: how old are you?

Bayo: 28. Iwo nko?

Me: I dunno.

Bayo: chai…you will be between 22 and 25.

Me: or 28…

Bayo: lol, who dash your Papa!

Me: lol.
As we rode in silence I tried focusing again . Maybe any images
will come through. Nothing. I decided I wasnt
gonna smoke
marijuana again. It makes people forget
stuff, I must have read
that somewhere..am I a doctor?..a medical student?…or just a
reader.

Alhaji’s house was a duplex. It was situated in
Satellite town. I
didnt expect such opulence. He had a gateman
dat opened the gate for us once we knocked. It was 5am
mehn.

Gateman: ehn! Omo olope!..kilon shele…give us
something na.

Bayo: kamoru oko ashewo, oya gba shandi yii!
He dipped his hand inside his pocket to bring out 50naira.

Kamoru: E ma n fu-Ckup sha!..Emi..50 naira?

Bayo: lol..kamoru 1 of gbogbo satellite
kingdom..oya gba eleyi
si.
He gave him a hundred bucks. We were lead to a smaller room downstairs
where some guys
were already gathered. Some with their gin,
others with
cigarettes.

As Bayo shook everybody I noticed he skipped a guy. Looking
atbthe guy I found out that it was the guy with
the ugly tribal
marks. I shaked everybody and decided to
shake the guy too, but
he ignored my hand, looked into my eyes with hatred. I ignored
him and sat beside Bayo.

Bayo: Akhaji nko?

A short looking skinny guy replied , telling him
Alhaji was
sleeping. Bayo turned to me and asked if I wanted a
cigarette or shepe. I
declined his offer.

Bayo: let us sleep now, when the chief butcher
wakes up then we
kill the rams.

Me: Alhaji is the chief butcher? I tot he worked
in the park?

Bayo: no o…Alhaji isnt o..

Me: is the butcher going to come from very
far?

Bayo: no o..he is here and abt to sleep

Me: show me the guy na, who is he..just point
I noticed the ode was pointing at himself.

Bayo: some call me Bayoski, others Omooba…I
am also known
as Chief butcher. But u fit call me Bayo. Cuz we
are brothers.

Me: You are sick

Bayo: lol..Dr Bayo, sick?

We both laughed and gently I slept off. Alhaji should be in his mid 50s, he had been
born black but some
heavy bleaching made him fair, except his
knuckles and
cheekbones. He walked with a slight tilt , his
stomach was potruded, he also had black lips.

As soon as Bayo saw him, he prostrated , it
felt awkward for me
to the likewise, but everyother person was
prostrating and he had
probably saved my life. So I prostrated.

Alhaji: Bayo, I see our friend is ok nw, why
hasnt he gone home?

Bayo: he cannot remember anything.
Other people looked at me at this point. Some
with pity, others
with amusement.

Alhaji: whats your name son?

Me: kekere.

Alhaji: hehehehe..kekere naa lo ma je.

Me: thanks for rescuing me

Alhaji: Alhamdulilah
His golden tooth flickered.

Alhaji: I am going to the mosque now, you
people should kill the
rams and do as you please. See you soon.

There were five rams in the compound.

We
shared ourselves into
groups. Two peeps each to kill a ram. Unsurprisingly I found
myself paired with the chief butcher.

While others proceeded to use the hot water
method for scraping
the hairs off the body of the animal, chief
butcher decided to burn the top skin of ours. As we scrapped wit
blades I asked him
questions.

Me : where are Alhaji’s Children and wives?

Bayo: him children dey for Cyprus, him get
three wives, him build house for each of them.

Me: him get bar scatter be dat o

Bayo: na chairman of park na. You know how
many people dey
die because of that position?

Me: hmmmm, anyways he looks to have reaped the reward.

Bayo: one day, I will be the chairman.

Me: oh…thats your ambition?

Bayi: naaa…thats my destiny.

He smiled as he said those words, like it was
definite issue.

Me: tell me about your parents and siblings.

Bayo: I no sabi my popsi, na me and mumsi
dey. She say him
die before dem born me. When I reach 8yrs, I
just wake up one
morning, see say mumsi don run commot leave only me. That yr
na shomolu we dey.

Na d reason y I come dey work for park. Na
Alhaji gimme that
bus wey I dey use. I dey deliver for am.
I don dey save, very soon I go buy correct bus. Maybe na
interstate we go dey ply that time.

Me: you and who?

Bayo: your body dey too hot…me and myself.

Me: when we go enter Lota hospital na, I knw
say dem go get records of me. Probably my phone go dey my
pocket as at the
point of accident.

Bayo: After we chop sallah meat, we move.

Me: thanks. So where your mumsi dey now?

Bayo: she don die, I hear say na during childbirth. Na for Agboju
here she die sef.

Me: am sorry

Bayo: olobe ni e o. Wetin concern
me?..mtchwwww.

I started counting the minutes it would take for me to find myself.
I was excited , but I sure as hell will miss him. Lota hospital was a three story building. The
lobby had the
distinct smell of drugs and disinfectant. I met
a nurse at the
reception, she was looking bad.

Nurse: Goodmorning how may I help you.

Me: I was admitted here some two months
ago..June 5th/6th. I
wanna check my records.

Nurse: your card number?

Me: I dont knw..

Nurse: are you registered? Me: I was operated on here

Nurse: hmmm, whats your name?

Me: ermmmmm….I cant remember
The look she gave me could heat up an iceberg. I
decided my
only option was to explain everything to her. I could see
understanding in her eyes.

Nurse: ok I will go thru the records and see if
any matches you.
Just give me your number and I would call you
when something comes up.

Me: I dont have a phone, lemme get my friends
own.
I dashed outside to see Bayo talking to a girl
selling bread.

Me: Bayo give me your phone. Bayo: oh brother, meet kafayat.
She smiled, exposing very brown teeth.

Bayo: so if I buy all this bread on your head, will
you follow me
home?
She started blushing. Me: Bayo, your phone na!
He gave me the phone without looking at me.

All his attention
was on the bread seller. As I left I heard him
ask her ‘is your
bread as soft as your b0s0m, can I confirm?’ After I gave her Bayo’s number and collected
hers, she assured
me that my amnesia was a matter of time,
that I would start
remembering stuffs little by little.

Bayo : howfar, so wht did you find out?

Me : nothing..I gave her your number sha, so I
could get a call
from her. What happened to the bread girl

Bayo: as I wan touch her bobi, the slap no be
here o!

Me: nice one.

Bayo: so where next?

Me: Festac, First gate. Accident place.

Bayo: wetin be the idea?

Me: just take me there…

Bayo: yes boss!

On our way to Festac, my hope arose again. I felt like I was going
to my origin. Even the pot holes and the
careless way Bayo rode
couldnt dampen my spirit.

On getting there, Bayo pointed to a corvette,
saying thats where the car was.

Bayo: dem dey catch people with okada for
here o, make we dey
go.

Me: I cant, I feel something here.

Bayo: them go seize my okada o

Me: dont worry you can go, I go sort myself.

Bayo: you are not in d right sense to be alone.

Me: Don’t worry, just go. Greet Shade and
Bimbo for me.

Bayo: ok o…

He brought out his phone and gave me . He also gave me 3k.

Me: what for?

Bayo: I go dey call you. .

Me: with which phone?

Bayo: na only me Shade dey use her phone call. I
go dey use her phone until I see u again.

Me: thanks bro.

Bayo: buy charger for the phone. Shade number
dey the contact
list. ..call me. I dey go Bose house.

As we shook, I felt this was the last time I would see him. I felt
bad. But I had to roam festac. Hopefully
someone will knw me
and who I used to be……
