2021-12-18 02:47:14Everything was in order and the table was strong, business was booming and money was being made. We began dealing the drugs locally and our suppliers were more than willing to expand their business in our country. Cocaine and heroin for the rich who wanted to party and enjoy their ill-gotten wealth, rich boys and girls with their corrupt parents in the government. They were the ones who could afford the white and the brown and I felt no remorse about destroying those who destroyed us. But there was also meth and weed for the poor who wanted to forget their sorrows. Yes, I was no street Messiah or savior of any kind, I was just a business man, a man trying to rise above obstacles set for me and people like me. I was a criminal.
A few months after Sarumky's death, I had Chuks and Akeem hunt down every last member of the old table, everyone and anyone who had anything to do with the Sarumky family and his organization, everyone who had any relations with the old bosses who was n

Street Diaries Falling Deeper.
After the attack I initiated the search for the perpetrators but came up with nothing. The helplessness, the reminder that I still could get hurt and not be able to do anything about it. Uncle Kasali offered to help in the hunt but even he came up with nothing. So, after a couple of months I went to the Kabal. Yeah, I was that desperate to get Shurrah's killers. I had searched the streets and the killers were definitely not from any gang in the city, something felt off and the Kabal was the only ones I could turn to, I knew that I would probably regret the day I made that decision but I was hurting... Hell, I still do.I sought for their help and kept asking for about two months before they even gave me an audience. I was so paranoid that I decided to initiate a meeting with the Kabal without Mr. A's knowledge. I had made new friends in the political circles, among them was senator Abama Fredrick. He was the youngest senator in the state.The most dangerous thing about

Everything ends eventually, even our lives. It makes you wonder what it is all for, all the struggles and hustles...all the suffering and falling and rising. All the achievements and successes. What sense does it all make if one day whether we like it or not we meet our ends and slowly get relegated to meer stories. Marx was meant to be untouchable, yes, the DSS was given that much power, even the old bosses dreaded having problems with them, the probably would not have done what I did. After finding out how Marx caused Shurrah's death I was furious and I went to see Kaz in prison, the last time I saw him he told me to "find all the motherfuckers who were involved and kill them all." But after telling him who was actually the cause of her death, he became skeptical about his stance on how to move forward from there. Even worse when I told him how I got the information, he flared up. "What the hell have you done!"he shouted. "I had no choice, brother! I

London was cold as fuck, I missed everything about home, and the feeling that I had abandoned my brother was killing me. In London I was immediately met by Amin and his crew, they were contacted by Kunle and they were to take care of us Mike, and I while we stayed in London. The DSS and other agencies vowed to leave no stone unturned until they find the killers of their agent Marx and bring them to justice, but that promise was just as empty as many that came before them. I killed that motherfucker and they never caught me, what they did when they could not catch real perpetrators of a crime was to catch the next persons they could get and pin the crime on them. It was not even a surprise when the killers of agent Marx were paraded on national television. They would have been some street thugs or some innocent travelers or someone sitting in front of his house, or someone or people the agents or the agency had problems with. It also could have been political rivals and any

Fences... In London I discovered that there were unseen fences, unseen by the ordinary people who went about their lives without knowing of these constant shifting fences as they expand and abrogate. The territories of the gangs were referred to as fences and the worst thing you could do was to get caught on the wrong side of it.Leaving the restaurant, I told Mickey to take me to Amin. He drove for a while, and that was one thing I never got tired of, a drive around in London. It was the only time that I could listen to myself think, the house was always too quiet when Micheal was not home, and that was basically all the time. Micheal wasted no time before getting involved with a white girl and he was always with her. Amin's spot was a laundry house, the place was beside a car wash which he also owned. Half the people walking around the neighborhood were either his soldier or informants. "This guy is doing well out here," I thought to myself as Mickey pulled the car ov

I spent the next two months in a hospital bed, Mickey was my next be neighbor too. He sustained some injuries, but it was nothing major. Those days were boring as hell until I started relating with one of the nurses, her name was Sharon, she was a really beautiful girl and understood sign language, the conversations we had was just magnificent. Finally, I had something to look forward to when I woke up in the morning, like that, the days rolled into one another as I awaited my revenge.Mickey's mother came to see him once, I could not really get most of what they discussed in their thick British accent but I could understand her anger, she was particularly angry with me for getting her son into trouble. I could not blame her, she actually reminded me of my own mother, fierce and compassionate. I thought about my mother in the evenings as I watched the sunset with Sharon after Mickey's mom visited, I told her about how she had to fight for our survival all on her own when our
Last Updated : 2022-04-21Street Diaries We found Love in these Trenches.
I guess there is a woman for every man...even the worst of men, ones as lost as me. Sharon showed the kind of interest in me that no woman except my mother had ever shown me before... She cared and carefully watched me as I signed to her, she always had this genuine smile when we were together. I could really have deep, meaningful conversations with her, and at first, I thought she was just doing her job but before long, I started expecting her visits with a kind of eagerness and a smile on my face too. I spent the time of the days before she walked through the door thinking about her and even that was fulfilling enough. I struggled with this feeling...it was so strange to me and no matter how much I tried to suppress it, I just could not. "Is this what they call love?" I thought. I was for the first time seeing a whole side of life I never thought I could even reach, a side of life I never had an interest in reaching. For me, life was all about survival, it was at this moment that I

Death is the very final destination of every human, yet we struggle just to see the next second, draw the next breath, and just survive... The futility of it all makes me wonder what it's all for. The very thing we run from catches up with us by the second, with every breath taken we get closer to the last.I went back to Amin's place that night, and we all did... It was a nice place too, a kind of a palace, to be honest, filled with girls, booze, and everything else. They were throwing a welcome back party for me even though I didn't know most of the people there. As I walked through the screaming crowd, the lights occasionally blinded me, the alcohol mixed with the disturbances and I was beginning to get irritated by it all. I suddenly felt a hand grab me from the back, "Hello there, boss," he said in his squeaky voice. My face met his, and I unconsciously let out a smile. Micky...he looked better than the last time I saw him, he was having fun too, and that filled me with a kind o

I was with Sharon that night. Peace, calmness, everything was perfect. She offered me tea and for the first time in a very long time I accepted a drink that didn't have alcohol in it. I drank the tea and smiled even though it tasted like horse piss in my mouth. "You don't like it, do you?" she asked as she stared at me, giggling childishly from ear to ear. I shook my head in agreement that I didn't like the tea. Then she stood up and disappeared into one of the rooms, she returned with a bottle of wine and two glasses in her hand. "I hope you don't hate this though," she whispered as she passed me one of the glasses and proceeded to fill it with the wine. I never really liked wine either but it tasted better than tea. We chatted throughout the cold night, well...she chatted and I signed. But it never could make it less interesting, her presence enough filled me with happiness, a feeling that was so strange to me. We drank the first bottle of wine and then she brought the second. By

Street Diaries The Last Sitdown
After taking the rest of the crime bosses off the board, I decided it was time to use the help of our newfound allies, I offered Dele, the new DSS district director another career-changing opportunity when he finally helped me to get the information I needed, the identity of the men who had been gunning for me and mine. He finally gave me the files after a long look and I was surprised when I opened them, this helped when I made my plans, the final stage was the sit down with the man who led the assault against my family. I had to look him in the eyes, I just had to. So, three weeks after taking out the other bosses, I called him, he was a captain in the army, named Captain Abubakar Lawan. I asked him to meet at a restaurant downtown named Dodo and he agreed. As I sat at the table in the dimly lit restaurant, I could feel the tension in the air. I knew that Captain Abubakar Lawan would not come alone, and I was proven right as he arrived with a group of armed members of his unit. T
Street Diaries The Last Supper
I knew we would have to leave town for a while at least, but I wasn't going to leave without putting the house in order. I knew I was betrayed by some of the bosses, and I wasn't going to let the betrayal slide. It would have been a nail in my coffin. I had two problems, the first one was how to punish my betrayers and the second was how to make sure that others never even try to betray me again. What came next was a sort of cleansing, both spiritual and physical... the sort of shit I needed Chuks and Akeem for. Betrayal in this game comes with a heavy price - for those who cross the line, there's a one-way ticket to the Colosseum. Just ask any ancient Roman emperor how they dealt with disloyalty - heads roll and blood spills. Loyalty is rewarded, but betrayal? That's a one-way ticket to a brutal end. After the election, when the parties and the candidates argued and battled in courts about the results, and tried to prove all sorts of rigging and criminalities perpetrated during the
Street Diaries El Padrino
They say politics is a dirty game, but I say it's just like being a gangster. You have to be cunning, fearless, and willing to do whatever it takes to come out on top. The only difference is that in politics, the weapons are usually words and the battlegrounds are mostly hidden from the public's eyes.... Well that is just until the guns are drawn and bullets fly, in these parts, the difference is not that much, elections are always full of murders and blood. As I sit in my dimly lit office, surrounded by smoke and the whispers of power, I can't help but draw parallels between the two worlds I had just started to inhabit. In both, you have to be able to manipulate, lie, cheat, and murder your way to the top. It's all about who has the most leverage, who can cut the best deals, and who can eliminate the competition with finesse.My father used to say, "In politics, you either eat at the table or you're on the menu." And let me tell you, I've never forgotten those words. They ring true
Street Diaries More Money more Problem
The attacks against us were not only physical, but most of our businesses had stopped, Basheeru, the leader of the bikers, my loyal friend was betrayed and killed, and the other bosses were already in hiding. Most of them were also betrayed by men close to them and they barely escaped assassination. Everything was crumbling around me, but that was not the worst of it. A blogger started publishing stories about us... He used different names of course, but the details were so accurate that all it needed was for anybody to pay attention and they would know who the publications were about. One of these publications goes... The scorching sun hung high in the sky, sending waves of intense heat across the vast lands of West Africa. The dunes stretched endlessly, mirroring the desolation that was cloaked beneath the surface. This harsh environment had become the playground of drug cartels, where illicit trade thrived under the watchful eyes of corrupt officials and desperate souls seeking fo

After hiding out in Hells' Gaze and perfecting my plans, I decided to share it with the family. "We are going to leave town for a while," I declared. They all stared at me as if I was going crazy. "Where would we go," Kaz asked. "The question is, where can't we go?" I said. "I have already gotten all of our passports ready." "But the business, everything you have built, we can't just run... This can't be it. " Akeem stood up from his chair and I could see the sadness in his eyes. "Oh, the business is going to be fine. We are going to leave the running to people we trust," I smiled. "But we are at war, and we're getting beaten, let me get the men together... We can still take this fight to them.""Oh, we are going to win this fight, but we're not going to go win it in the streets, we need to bring in the big guns, " I began to explain my well-thought-out plans. "We are going to meet with Ahmar Thubr and the DSS district officer tomorrow when they come here for their campaign, a
Street Diaries A Walk down Memorys' Lane
Sulaiman had become an enigmatic figure in the neighborhood, revered as a modern-day godfather, he commanded his men with an air of authority, as we ventured into the heart of Hell's Gaze, our infamous home. The warlords' gang, had become a tightly-knit brotherhood bound by loyalty, trailing behind him, a cacophony of voices raised in infectious chants and haunting melodies. As the people spilled onto the streets, their faces alive with fervor, it became apparent that this was more than a mere escape, it was indeed a homecoming.It was on the morrow of this triumphant return that I felt a yearning to inspect the underbelly of the neighborhood that had birthed and nurtured us and our empire. Eesha, my tempestuous flame, was by my side, her eyes aflame with a thirst for adventure. She was no stranger to the ghettos so, everything we saw didn't surprise her much.
