FATIMA ZARRA SALE – IT IS WELL MY SISTER

-

Fatima used to be Fatima Anderson and she was my secondary school crush. Extremely beautiful o, tall and fair in complexion. She was a prefect and a very firm prefect. From that time, you knew not to mess with her especially those of us who had a crush on her. She will deal with you; she was a stickler for rules and everybody knew her for that. Those of us who were in the undergroun­d knew better than to go against her when she was the prefect on duty. We usually took a day off on her days. So when she threw in her hat to vie for a House of Representa­tives seat in Borno on the platform of the PDP, I immediatel­y threw in my support. I gave her moral support as the things happening in that Borno axis could not let me physically go there, because the day I show face in that place, these Boko Haram people will hear it. Just be looking at them since, time never reach. Anyways I wished Fatima well and prayed that she emerged because Nigeria will have nothing to lose with someone like Fatima in the House. Weeks after the elections when I no hear anything from her, I suspected that the worse had happened. Anyways, I reached out during the week, mbok she had overcome her bitterness and could only wish us well. She sent me a YouTube video where the rigging and barefaced robbery was manifest. I also saw her press briefing where she categorica­lly told the world what went on in that part of the world. I tell you things I saw in that video just tell us that we are in a Hobbesian state. But my sister don’t give up just yet, help is coming from Cameroun. Mbok don’t let me laugh this na serious matter. Mbok leave Nigeria matter and come and face the more critical issue of getting this our alumni people to lift the indefinite suspension they have placed on me o. This na the kind thing we dey talk for national politics. How will they just suspend me like that and even if na me kill Jesus its over one year and the suspension is still in force o. I will vex o. Fatima do something.
