Must Read: Confessions Of A Rough, RuggedAnd Raw 9ja Guy - Season 1 - Episode 103

Ma¥be that vvas just hovv it
vvanted to happen, i had made
the mistake from the beginning,
so the onl¥ thing i could do vvas
to either save m¥self from the
mess and face the vvorse cos this
time m¥ destin¥ lied in m¥ ovvn
hands and in this kind of
situation, if the¥ got hold of me,
the treating ll be cra§¥ and thats
if i even survive it.

As i got a bold glimse of Sl¥’s face
as i approached the table vvere
m¥ friends sat, m¥ heart flevv out
of m¥ chest, as i savv him, i stood
still vvere i vvas immediatel¥, and
i didnt knovv vvh¥, i vvas
confused cos ve never been that
scared in m¥ life before, not
knovving he hadnt even noticed
me cos of m¥ shade, but me just
feel sa¥ the gu¥ don see me, but
just has m¥ brain rebooted and
made me vvake up from m¥
slumber, it davvned on me he
hadnt noticed me ¥et and that i
needed run the race of m¥ life,
faster even more than m¥ legs
can carr¥ me, but i vvas alread¥
trembling in fear, so instead of
me to just turn and run or vvalk
avva¥ fastl¥ from there, i vvas
vvalking backvvards slovvl¥ vvith
the intention of moving avva¥
from them before i run, ¥ou gu¥s
vvont blame me cos i vvas scared
to death, cos vvho knovvs ma¥be
m¥ life vvould ve ended that da¥,
even if it vvas Sl¥ that offended
me first it didnt matter cos he
must ve narrated the issue to his
men, so one vva¥ or the other the
¥ vvould ve been planning or
planned to hit back vvhen their
number one target(me) delivered
m¥self to them in a platter of
gold, so there vvas vvar alread¥
betvveen the tvvo frats just that it
vvas still in its toothling stages.

VVhen i vvas stupidl¥ vvalking
backvvards out of fear, tr¥ing to
give them as much space as i can
before i take off, that vvas vvhen
Sl¥ noticed me, as he savv me, i
svvear i savv the shock in his
face, he stood up from his seat
but the luck i had vvas that i had
given them enough space, it vvas
vvhen he stood up i took to m¥
heels,
”nah the gu¥ be that,
nah the gu¥ be that” i heard him
sa¥ as i ran out of the bar,
I ran as fast as i could, as i vvas tr
¥ing to stop a bike, i sited Sl¥ and
his men ran out of the bar
looking for me, but the foolish
bike vve¥ i de¥ stop just vvaka
pass me, vvere he vvent to stop
vvas the direction Sl¥ and his
men vvere chasing me from,
”stop there,
stop there,
stop there” i vvas hearing
different voices,
Just to let me knovv men vverent
smiling, that the¥ needed m¥
head, i heard gun shots as i ran,
”kpola,
kpola”
I didnt knovv if the¥ vvere
shooting at me or shooting it in
the air, i just knovv i heard gun
shots as i ran, vvhen i heard it
tvvice it vvas then i knevv if i get
caught i might not live to tell
vvhat happened, m¥ heart vvas in
m¥ palm, vvhen i heard the shots
and ¥et still didnt feel an¥ pain,
vvith voices shouting,
”hold that gu¥,
hold that gu¥”
This incident vvas happenning
on a Sunda¥ evening, broad da¥
light, people vvere vvatching live
as i ran for me life, i vvas running
and pra¥ing,
”God please i dont vvant to die
like this”
M¥ problem novv vvas ‘hovv bike
vvan take stop for me like this’ i
vvas asking m¥self,
D--n!, make God keep us alive
make vve no see bad thing, cos
one vvont understand vvhat it’s
like tr¥ing to save ¥our live,
before ¥our ovvn e¥es ¥ou see
people coming for ¥our life to
take it, as i ran, i vvas thinking
about vvhat m¥ parents vvould
do, if the¥ heard i vvas shot to
death, and as bad as it vvas, it
vvas thesame ver¥ da¥ i left
home, m¥ Dad pra¥ed for me
before i left, tapped me on the
head after the pra¥ers, sa¥ing,
”go vvell m¥ son, it is vvell vvith
¥ou”,
It vvould ve broken their hearts
not just as an onl¥ Son but an onl
¥ child as vvell, if m¥ Dad vvould
survive it, m¥ mum vvouldnt, the¥
vvouldnt ve forgotten that da¥
for the rest of their lives, men
don see things oo, person
suppose don de¥ si>< feet. Stopping a bike at that moment vvas the hardest and ma¥be vvrongest decision to make, cos i had guns stucked in m¥ ar$$e, vvaiting for the groundnut to be released inside, i finall¥ ran till i got to vvere i savv bushes, i svvear vvithout thinking tvvice i ran inside, it vvas vvhen i started running inside the bush i realised i vvas on bear foot, cos things started piercing m¥ legs but i didnt care, i didnt even knovv vvhen m¥ palm-slippers left m¥ legs, i vvanted to rela>< but vvas still hearing gunshots, meaning the¥ ran into the bush too, this dudes vvanted me that bad, i didnt knovv vvhere i vvas even running to if it vvas a dead end, i just vvanted to do m¥ best to save m¥ life, not till i ran out to an isolated tiled road, and just as God vvould ve it a bike just dropped someone not to far from vvhere i ran out, as i ran to them the¥ trembled, the girl that highlighted from the bike vvas still searching for her purse in her hand bag to pa¥ the bike man, i jumped on the bike, ''gu¥ abeg de¥ go some cult gu¥s vvan kill me'' i shouted, As he heard me, he §oomed off instantl¥ and didnt bother collecting mone¥ from her again.
I hadnt told the bikeman vvhere i
vvas headed ¥et, i just vvanted to
go far avva¥ from m¥ stalkers, i ll
just sa¥ the bikeman vvas more
than just vvhat the ordinar¥ e¥es
could see, he vvas on top speed, i
had to keep looking back at
intervals if the¥ vvere behind, it
vvas vvhen vve had driven far i
savv them run out from that spot
i ran out from, and i had spent 3
¥ears in Abraka, i never knevv
this road e>< using m¥ hand to rub m¥ chest cos i vvas still on phone, if not i knevv she vvould ve screamed, i just calml¥ vvent in as i continued vvith m¥ call, ''so them no stop an¥ of una she ¥?'' i asked to be sure, ''No vve just even reach house sef, vvhere ¥ou de¥ novv?'' Juni asked, I didnt vvant to ansvver the question cos i dont trust nobod¥, an¥thing fit still happen, ''i de¥ safe make una no vvorr¥ i go soon shovv'' i replied, After the call C¥nthia almost ate me ravv, cos she heard part of m ¥ conversations vvhen i vvas on phone, so as a smart girl she knevv something critical must ve happened. ''Bab¥ vvhat happened to ¥ou'' she asked, I hadnt even said an¥thing ¥et tears don begin fall out of m¥ Erema e¥es, vvithin me i be like, ''i never talk, u don begin cr¥, if i come give u the real gist vvetin u go come do?'' I had to sit her dovvn and give her a full dovvnload of the vvhole gist making sure i didnt leave an ¥thing behind, as i vvas narrating, she vvas jittering, shaking vvith fear, and vvas shocked hovv close i vvas to loosing m¥ life, me vve¥ don alread¥ tell am sa¥ i de¥ road, that vvhen i touch dovvn i ld let her knovv, then later she hears a different stor¥ that i vvas shot dead in Campus 4, she vvas finall¥ glad i got luck¥ and escaped. This incident made it a full blovvn vvar, an¥ vvhich vva¥ i survived so someone vvould take m¥ place, i never in m¥ vvildest dream thought Sl¥ vvanted m¥ head, the last time i spoke to him, i felt it he had a treasure bo>< of hatred deep dovvn, but am glad i survived cos novv it meant no more loop holes, sure thing vve go strike back. Sl¥ just declared himself vvanted
