Bayo Yussuf is a powerful Insurance, Pension and Acutural scientist.
His imprints are all over the asset management, Insurance, PFA and other allied spaces where he remains a highly sought-after expert.
We worked together at Nal Asset Management Limited and he was the first to prewarn me – Edgar this missing bag of rice, they will tie it to u
True, true, they tied it to me and attempted to sack me – story for another day
Well, Bayo sent me an invite. He was now a grandfather and this threw me into an elevated excitement
Oh my God, our generation has started welcoming grandchildren, I screamed.
Don’t get me wrong, the females of our generation have been grooming grandchildren for decades because you know that women knack earlier than men
So Bayos invite really excited me as a few days earlier, I had welcomed a bundle into my family – you know I am the head of the Edgar Clan – local and International and have grown the family from the seven my father handed over to me to over 30 through sex, Marriage, forceful adoption and annexing whole families like the Umo – Etuks less Nelson .
I will make an official announcement on the latest additions as soon as we finish registration formalities and move them through the process of being an Edgar including a robust induction excercise.
So Bayos announcement got me thinking – which of my five children would make me a grandfather first
The way I am seeing these children, I can’t even tell. Etekamba is so focused on his career that I am thinking maybe the man is not even doing sef
Chantal is about to commence her master’s and is very intense. Annette is in her third year and keeps saying – I don’t have a boyfriend. Alvin and Zara cannot feature in this conversation; otherwise, na slap they will get.
But the idea of grandchildren is enamouring me right now
They will be so cute, what with a fine grandfather, they will be sharp and I will give them tattoos and grow their hair into little dreds
I’ll name all the males after me – the first will be Joseph III, remember Etekamba is Joseph II and the others will be named Ini my other name and so forth and so on
The females will be named after my mother – Inyang Ibok, Eka eso – which is my mother in our language, Etok Eka – little mother etc
I’m just such a despot abi, well it’s not easy to be head of a family, it is ordained by God
It’s such a wonderful position as you cannot be impeached, suspended or dethroned, so I use my power anyhow and arbitrarily.
Ohhh, my grandkids will call me Joe. We can’t break tradition as my kids already call me Joe, except Annette and Alvin, who are rebelling – I never get their time.
I would love my first grandchild to come from Chantal cos she is crazy and would most likely give me crazy grandkids
Kai, I can’t even wait. This Bayo is a lucky son of a bitch.
Imagine laying the boy on my chest, and he sleeps off, and I pat him on the back as I watch…… You know what
Then I feed him and then take him for a walk, and then discuss issues with him, making sure he doesn’t go anywhere near APC and he rests.
I would have been fully retired and would be taking him to school, helping him cheat on his homework and showing him how to toast the girls
Kai, I can’t even wait. Being grandparents is the next level for our generation – we have passed getting married, having children, seeing them pass through their education, watching them start their careers, and now evolving into watching them start their families.
Mad abi, cant wait. Nobody should cone snd beat me again abeg.
