Akanbi's Poisonous Lily.





"Marry Ajike" everyone said,
"She'd make a better wife and give you Ibeji" They drummed in Akanbi's ears each passing day.

Akanbi simply shrugged their advice aside, his eyes on a more valuable gem.
A gem that glittered in the dark, with a body as smooth as 'osun'. Her aroma smells of coconut, of rosemary flower, and apple cider.

"See how perfect Ajike looks. You both would make a perfect fit" they'd say when Ajike passes, a gourd of water balanced on her head, her buxom ass swaying as she walked by.

The other boys would whistle and hold their groins at Ajike's receding backside that held no interest for Akanbi.

Only one woman made his blood boil in pleasure, only one made his groin ache with longing. That one that makes him want to faint with her "roboto" backside and tiny waistbeads that calls out to him when she walks down the stream.

Aduke is the name of the woman he loves, the one who makes one thousand and one Ajike look like they were nothing.

The one whose voice was sweeter than honey to his ears, the one whose  legs makes him imagine wondrous things he wants to do inbetween those long legs.

Aduke's beauty rivals the dazzling beauty of the stars, even the lilies and roses that grows in the garden can't compete with her fairness.

 Aduke is a masterpiece that the gods took time to mould on "Aiku" day. The day reserved for gods to rest.

Her eyes shone like the sun, windows that showed how amazing she is.
And when she smiles sweetly, the butterflies in Akanbi's stomach starts to collide with one another.

"I don't want Ajike. Aduke is who my heart yearns for" Akanbi summoned courage to tell him parents one day.

His mother let out a loud cry and flung herself on the mud floor, removing her head tie from her head and tying it around her waist.

His father's palm filled with "taba'' stopped in mid-air in its transit to his nose, as he stared at Akanbi as if he were the devil himself.

"How can you decide to marry a woman who has been married to five men and they had all died in marriage to her? " his mother wailed like a child rebuked for wetting the bed.

"But they are hearsays and stories without evidences " Akanbi persisted.  His father shook his head in pity and stood up to leave the room.

"If that is what you want, let's have a wedding on the next "eti" day.  I hope you know that is your funeral too. " his father's hoarse voice spat out before he stormed off to his "iyewu".

If they rode a horse in Akanbi's stomach, the horse won't miss a step. His joy knew no bounds as he went about preparing for his wedding to Aduke, oblivious to the long faces worn around by his family members.

Aduke's people were contacted and the marriage rites conducted on the 'eti' day, with the people from Akanbi's household showing up in black outfits and somber mood.

The newly weds got to their new home that night and proceeded to do what newly weds did, with Akanbi touching Aduke in all the places he had dreamt of and making her wet for him.

He quickly straddled her and brought  his "ogede agbagba" to the entrance of her "snail like" mould.

One thrust and he became enveloped in her moist wetness, shutting his eyes as he enjoyed the body of his new wife, oblivious to the transformation happening before him.

Appearing from Aduke's form came forth a wrinkled old creature, bearing a sharp dagger with glee as it licked  its toothless gum with its long spear like tongue.

The pain of the dagger piercing his heart brought Akanbi back from the land of pleasure, as he coughed up blood and slumped in death.

The creature knelt beside Akanbi's dead body, drinking every ounce of blood gushing from his body.

When it was satisfied, it repossessed Aduke's body, bringing her back to her human form.

By morning the story of how Akanbi was murdered by thieves went round the village. Some of the villagers gathered in front of her house to mourn her husband and console her, while others were present to wet their appetite for gossip.

Only people from Akanbi's  household didn't visit Aduke, for them they claimed their son died the night he decided he wanted to marry Aduke.

The Clumsy Wife

When you were asked about your swollen right eye, you said you sleepwalked and hit your face against the wall. We all said sorry and asked you to get well soon. A few days after, it was your chin that was shifted to the side. In response, you blamed it again in your clumsiness and that you feel off the bed. You are a grown woman in her late 30's. This time, we had questions that we couldn't dare to ask you. Weeks later, you were limping and you assured us that it was your clumsiness that made you fall down the stairs. At this point, we faced our business and wished you all the best. 2 months later, you're lying in a golden casket, 6 feet under the ground.  The autopsy read that you died from a deep gash on your forehead, probably a hit from the bloody plank of wood that was found beside your corpse. At this point, you want to talk. You wanted to say it all. But it's too late. Your husband claimed you hit your head on the plank, and we all believed him because you told u

She Must Be Obeyed Movie Review

  I don't understand Funke Akindele's obsession with the music industry Sha. She is always trying to project the industry one way or the other - we have Industreet already. On this new one Sha, I don't know how to feel about it.  This storyline is great. The life of a Celebrity musician behind the camera and in front of the camera. But the directing get as e be. The movie just dey anyhow. But the acting from some cast made up for the 'anyhowness'. Bishop (Okon) was amazing. Lateef was great. Gayness doesn't fit Akah. He shouldn't try it again. Vee tried small. I don't understand what Ali Nuhu was acting. Lizzy Jay sef dey vex person. The entire Rachael Okonkwo family weren't it at all. Mama Gee no try at all. Don't give her a drunk role again. Nancy Isime was Nancy Isime, Just there. Shaffy Bello was great as always. In all, I will give it a 4/10.

Big Love Movie Review

  While this movie tried not to be your regular Nollywood Romantic movie, I still got annoyed at some small small mistakes that I saw. Inkblot is too big for some mistakes that were present in this movie. Overall, Big Love is nice. It's a movie that would take you through a rollercoaster of emotions. The beginning was quite not it.  Most of the dialogues got me rolling my eyes, like warahell. Casting was great. Storyline was amazing Directing wasn't coordinated. There were scenes that looked rushed and scattered. PS - VJ Adams should just leave Bimbo for Timini. Their chemistry is mind-blowing. Timini had grown as an actor. And it's great to see. Aunty Shaffy is great, as always. Overall, I'd give it an 8/10.
