Growing up, we just knew dad was a Muslim and mum a Christian. Sometimes, they would argue about it, but we really didn't know if they were quarreling or just dissing each other while throwing subtle jabs. Dad later went Mecca and became an Alhaji while mummy grew stronger in Christianity to become a church minister.
There was one evening mummy went to Pastor Obadare's crusade and came back very late.
Dad had already arrived and was served his food by my older cousin, who lived with us.
He went outside to lock the gate despite we telling him mummy was yet to come back from church. He didn't say anything but locked the gate and kept the key.
When mummy got back, we went to tell him, but he didn't bulge. He kept the key with him.
We all went outside to tell mummy that daddy refused to give us the key.
Next thing, mummy climbed the fence and jumped into the compound. She went through the backyard and entered the house, going straight to her room (they had separate rooms). We all disappeared into our rooms.
Daddy later went outside and didn't find anyone. He went to open her door and found her inside the room. Then we all heard him exclaim, "Awusubillahi mini shetani rajim! My wife has become a hooligan. You jumped the fence? Is this what they taught you in the church? La illa il allahu."
Then mummy replied, "ka fo fence kii se ese." (Jumping one's fence is not a sin)
We thought they would argue and quarrel, but we just heard the door close and they both started laughing hysterically.
We all woke up next morning, and it was like nothing happened.
Such was my hybrid family.
RIP Alhaji B.N.A. Adeola
Bella, please let that money go and move on. โค๏ธ Sometimes in a relationship, one person has to lose something for both people to gain peace. If Shegz is owing you and the relationship is already over, donโt let the debt become the reason you remain emotionally stuck. Take the loss, learn the lesson, protect your peace, and move forward. Not every money lost is worth the peace you lose chasing it.๐
Bella lost her bag a few year ago while traveling and oga abuser contacted airline to collect compensation. You know how she found out, the airline called Bella to confirm. He is also a thief. Onyeoshi. Ole.
