“In the night, I heard
them told, the cruelest story, ever told, someone found along the road, who lost
his soul, to a woman so heartless”, Kanye West
toney etido (Senior Staff Writer)
The above narration by Hiphop rapper, now evangelist Kanye
West, the husband of Kim Kardashian in his ‘Heartless” track, is the same, if
not, worse story of a sickly lying bitch in University of Uyo, name Favour, I stumbled
upon in this lockdown period from one among the many people that abandoned their
vocations and life pursuits to their respective homes in order to die with and among
love ones, should the ravaging Corona Virus decide to kill us all, as there isn’t
no cure yet.
I heard from these students how Favour can readily swivel a
lie in the twinkle of an eye, forming one rich kid with parents in Lag, despite
the fact that her parents “e’were bicycle”. Favour lies, borrow, lives a carefree
life, and irresponsibly lazy just to be someone she’s not until she become a laughing
stock among other humble kids, whom their parents are sacrificing a lot to keep
them in the University. FAvour keeps more than four lovers par time, seeing and
spending time with each in their allotted time. She creates and assigned them each,
jobs and positions that suit the status
of lie she want to peddle par time, whereas, the guys are struggling as 7-5
workers of shops or pharmaceutical stores. She reported once that one of her
lover, who was truly a staff in a pharmacy, but by Favour, the owner,
registered, rented and opened a saloon in her name, and just threw her the key
as a surprise to her. She told them in the hostel she was squatting that the
fellow engaged her on the altar of God, as she brandished fake plaza ring she
bought for herself to suit the lie for that time. Favour who claimed to be a
fashion designer, borrows her dress from the course mates or the owners of the
bunk she’s squatting with, she often lies, and claimed that either one imaginary
aunty or cousin sent them from Dubai, or wherever they’re holidaying, sometimes
claiming the true owners borrowed them from her. Favours tell of how her fiancée
was murdered and he died in her arms in Lagos, the reason she wouldn’t want to
be involve seriously in love tangle, but a week after excitedly announced her engagement
to a police officer she just want to manage, so that they wouldn’t feel she was
looking down on the police.
Though favour has dropped out of the Communication Art course
she was sent to come and study in the University by her parents, who hustle to
survive in far away Lagos due to unseriousness and lies, but before everyone, she
remains a student of the famous Federal University in the oil rich State of
Akwa Ibom State, University of Uyo. She is in a very hot romantic relationship
currently with one gospel musician, who just divorced his wife (Abi na him wife
devorcam?) Today, we have lot of Favours in our Universities across the
country, among our young girls, who seem to be faster than their shadows, and
not contented with what their parent can offer. They are the slay queens, who don’t
value their integrity and lack any moral principle. They are children of
parents who never put to use the scriptural admonition of “train up a child in
the way that he should go, so that when he grows, he would never depart from it”.
May God help us and all the Favours in our schools. Amen
