Previously…“Better, because that girl seems very brilliant. The world needs people like her actively working to make it better. Her being a business analyst is also very good for her. Treat her well because if I hear any form of ruckus, o yoo ri awọn miiran apa ti mi (ruckus, you will see the other side of me)” my mom said in a stern manner.I didn’t remember the last time she warned me like this. She was quite taken with Ama and was now protective of her.“I won’t, I promise. Seems like Ama is the new favorite around here?” I said jokingly. My mother smiled.“Well, iwọ ni o mu bọọlu ti oorun wa nibi (you’re the one that brought that ball of sunshine here) how did you expect me not to fall in love. I’m sure your dad is fighting it but he will fall too.” She said. I grinned. I was glad this was really going well. “I’m glad you like her. I knew this would happen anyways.” I said.“Let’s go and see what’s going on inside shall we?” My mom said.“Okay mom.” I stood up and went in with h

Previously…Ama."Okay that sounds good. Why did your company not give you a new role to manage the project you pitched as its project manager? It would have helped you a whole lot." He said."Yes but I was fired before any of that could happen." I said."Fired? Why?" He asked.I didn't know what to tell him.————Ama.I decided to tell the truth. Even if the truth was quite truly embarrassing. “Sir, to be honest with you, I was set up by my ex boyfriend. The same person that plan my kidnap. He took pictures of me and Femi on the beach how, I do not know. He took them and sent it to the HR department in my place of work. There’s a rule that says that no staff should frolick with a client or another staff. Anyone who is caught would be immediately fired. At that point, Femi and I weren’t even together yet. I only accepted to be his girlfriend after I was fired. My boss couldn’t do anything and compensated me with an advance salary. So that’s it.” I told him.“Wow, that’s tough. Who is

Previously…Ama.“Hello Mr Fapson. Good day.” Shawn spoke with his business voice. I fought the urge to laugh.“Shawn how are you?” He asked.“I’m fine and Dandy, and you sir?” He asked.“I am fine. Recovered fully by God’s grace. Shawn what is this I’m hearing about you firing Amarachi because of picture abi Kini wọn sọ pe paapaa jẹ? (what did they say it even was?)” he said.“Sir, I’m really sorry. I know she’s your daughter in law now and you’re probably super pissed but I want you to know that it was not my doing at all.” He said with panic in his voice. I wondered what hold that Femi’s nfather had on him because I always thought he was just someone that worked with Tuwomi. He was not someone that spoke like this no matter who it was, except with Radike. He was a pool of goo with her but even then, he still carried his charisma and confidence.“Okay, so now here is what I want you to do. You’re bringing her on as the project manager for that Lays project, do you understand me? Ho

Previously…Femi.“It’s to get the license for our company to start predicting Lays in Nigeria for Nigerians in order to reduce the cost and make money in the process.” Ama said.“Oh I’ll give that to you. It is really brilliant. How did you get this idea?” Kola asked.“I was watching Big Brother US and …” Ama started but Kola cut her off.“Oh Taylor with the Lays? I loved her. I watched it. Anyways that’s a fantastic idea. Sometimes some of my friends that love it but it in a pack of forty for fifteen dollars just so they can have it until their next travel. That and the fact that them using that same fifteen dollars to buy Lays here wouldn’t be up to that forty packs.” Kola said.“Wow you might just be my ordained gay best friend.” Ama said in a joke and Kola sat up speedily.“I reject it in the mighty name of Jesus! Which yeye gay. Because I watched that darned show.” Kola almost screamed.“Sorry sorry sorry sir.” Ama said unenthusiastically and then giggled. She was such a menace.

"Let him be playing now. Anyway Ama l, welcome back. Tell me when you can resume. I know you're recovering and all." Shawn said."In a weeks time. I need to prepare myself first before coming back." Ama said. It made sense. She had to arrange herself well and get new clothes that fit the standard of her new position. I was going to let her go crazy on my debit card for that."That's perfectly fine. I'll see you then." Shawn told her."Ehen Shawn oya answer me because there was absolutely no way I was going to let this slide without asking you. So what is going on between you and my good sis Radike?" I asked him."You're not serious brother. Why are you asking me that? You know what's going on. We are getting to know each other and that's that." I said."Are you sure because what I saw isn't just getting to know each other. It has graduated more, far more than that." I said. I know I was being a gossip and a mosey person but I wanted to know what was really going on."See I'll talk to

Previously…Ama."So yeah their relationship was great and went on for years with no one the wiser until recently when he started telling her about marriage. She was super excited that he was talking to marriage to her but then she found out through the blogs that he was getting married to some politician's daughter and you know he is really popular and she is as well. So basically he didn't even think to tell her or talk to her about it and when she saw the news, she confronted him about it and all he had to say was, my mum made me do it, they sid it was to strengthen the company and bla bla bla. sounding like a broken record." I saod. i was getting pissed all over again."He is such a pussy. He is legit a grown man who should be married with kids by now. Why are his parents still controlling him and using that tired excuse to blackmail him. They don't need no politician to help the business. Gone are those days. If the politician isn't willing to partner with you by all fucking mean

Previously…Ama.It seemed as though Femi was thoroughly pissed about this and was going on and on about it. I got it. I too was very angry and pissed about it when i heard it the first time."Anyway Radike has Shawn now, I hope it is going well." I said."Me too babe. Radike is such a nice person. Shebi you know she was trying to give you her kidney that period. She didnt even think twice about it. If not that she failed the serum test. It would have been her and not me." Femi said.This was news to me. I had never been told that Radike tried to give me a kidney. I did not even know that she tried."wow that piece of information seems to have been withheld from me. I feel so blessed to have met her." I said. I was so glad that Radike was my friend because i was sure that she loved me and i loved her too.At this point we had gotten back to the house and were in the parking lot.Femi looked at me after turning off the ignition."How was the night for you?" he said smiling sweetly at m

Previously...Now they were bringing colorism into it. Typical Twitter users. I had dated not just dark skinned women but light skins as well. It was just that I had never dated someone who was mixed race before. Ama even, was not exactly mixed. Her grandmother from her father's side was Indian so her father was the mixed one. She was quarter Indian but the genes were very prominent in her, not so much in her brother. That was why she looked mixed. But I had never been colorist or wanted dark skinned women to feel pain. My mother was dark skinned. I was dark skinned as well. I didn't derive joy in doing that to dark skinned women. Most of the light skins I dated however didn't come out to bash me or recount the experience. They just took whatever I gave them and moved on. But the dark skinned ones knew that they would get Internet sympathy and decided to put it online. Dark skinned black women got the most sympathy online and managed to attach anything they went through to the way the
