My people my mouth is still very open almost one hour after I left her.
Let me describe what I saw and please you knw she is an Honourable Minister and as such I have to be careful with my words
Tall, gazelle like, voluble eyes, high cheek bones, prominent beauty, long never ending legs, svelte and delicate hands tapering into nubile fingers with luxurious nails at the end.
Mbok, as she spoke, my mouth remained open. Her pictures dont do her beauty well.
This woman is a god on earth. Her beauty was illuminous are voice delicately laden with the sweet notes from the fresh spring of Barbados.
Kai.
She was very upset with me. She thought, I was doing her story without her permission simply because I had sent her a draft copy of the Poster.
She said as much, as we chattted. I offered to fly in and she went silent on me
Then I called a Director in her Ministry and he said – You are aware that Hon Minister will sue you and I said yes and that is why I am coming.
I will be in abuja for the IBB book launch and hope to meet madam when I come and he said Ok, let me know when you get here
The first day, I waited for ever and they said today. Last night, they called and gave me an appointment for 5pm.
As I walked into the Ministry, my dreadlocks were not helping my matter as every security man stopped me and when I dropped madams name, they will look at me with dt eye of – wetin this one dey find with madam.
Finally, I was ushered into her waiting room and kept there for like an hour.
I walked into her expansive office and saw her further down and started shaking
I understand beauty but this confounded me.
She walked towards me and I didnt knw weather to bow down, shake or kneel.
She sat down beside me crossed her long legs and waited
The Director introduced her and introduced me and said – Your Excellency, this is the man that looked for your trouble and in which you were going to deal with…
They gave me the floor and i spoke like a Roman Senator
Madam please I dont knw what the protocol is if I can tell you just how beautiful you are
She smiled and noded her head and i continued…
Madam mbok, you are super mouth opening beautiful, ma- abasi.
I consider this a rare priviledge. Theatre has taken me to the power houses of Nigeria.. Cos of theatre, I am friends with the Azikiwe’s, Awolowo’s, Emir Sanusi, Obasanjo, Sardauna and this evening, I add the Ojukwus to my growing list
Let me first apologise my dear Honourable Minister, I would never have gone that far without your permission…
Your story is an inspiration to Nigerians. We all followed you from when you relingusihed your crown to the Ambassadorial position and now as a Minister and must tell you, that your story is very compelling
Your story is very dear to me cos when my mother said I cannot marry yoruba, I told her I will cos Bianca stood her grounds
When I finished, she said – when I saw my image on your poster, I was happy as a lawyer. I told my people not to say a word to see how far you will go and then you would have made my day…
So many people have come from all over the world to tell my story. Even Flavour came and others from America…
It is not easy to transition from beauty pageants to politics and be taken seriously by the people and as such my image is such that I am very deliberate about…
When she finsihed, I asked but madam Minsiter, if you had sued me and you finally met me with this torn jeans, wont you have felt bad?
She laughed and gave me instructions on what to do to get her full permission
I said yes ma, we will do it and stand by every agreement we will reach and then finally, I stood up to give my last speech..
My dear Honourable Minister I stand in awe of your iconic beauty , I stand in awe of your remarkable story and I say to you this evening that this story will rattle every little girl in Nigeria.
Your trajectory from an ambitious highly intelligent young lady to being appointed a Minister if the Federal Republic that I am standing in front of will bring tears to the eyes of the 6,000 people who sent me here to seek your consent…
Edgar, abeg carry yiur wahala commot for my office… Was the next thing she said and i went…
But Honourable Minister make I finish as I stand on the mandate of all men of Nigeria to seek your attendance of the play..
NEPA just take light and she responded – you see, even the gods dont support this your last request dts why they took the light…
I wasnt going to give up – Madam abeg make we take picture make i use am pose for Shomolu –
No, go do wetin i send you after that we go take pictures
We were ushered out of her office, all of us in laughter and with me wondering why God did this to only one person – real beauty and real brains.
Kai
Duke of Shomolu
