The Adventures Of Oko Ashawo - 78

Oko Ashawo has come again Oooh..........

While driving my clients to their destinations, I sometimes wish that I could be oblivious of the things they say or do, but the amebo in me won’t just let me mind my business.

I still wonder why people tell all sorts of lies especially those in relationships. Trust is so hard to find these days and it cuts across both genders. This has made me to be precautious in my search for a partner as I have seen all sorts, especially in the line of my job as a taxi driver.

Not long ago as I took a lady home, she sat at the back of the car with her boyfriend. I stole glances as they touched, smooched and kissed each other. Oh well, this is a regular occurrence in which I have literarily stopped a ‘couple’ from making out in my car at night as I drove.

Along the way, the girl received a call from a guy and suddenly, the tone of her voice changed as she told him she just got to her hostel from the hospital since morning. She said she had been on drips and also taken injections but is feeling much better. I was too shocked for words. I later figured from her conversation on the phone that the guy she was talking with is her fiancé who is abroad.

On the other hand, I met a lady who I really like so much at the beginning of this year and decided to go a step further with her recently. We started dating shortly before she went to camp for her Youth Service recently.

I hung out with 2 of my friends last weekend and showed them the picture of the girl I am dating now. My friend just told me to stop wasting my time on the girl. On probing further, he said he knows her and ‘chops’ her steady, and he knows 2 other guys that have also ‘chopped’ her. He showed me some ‘receipts’ on his phone, which confirmed to me she is a runs girl.

Truly, I like this girl and I don’t mind giving her a chance but the thought that my friend has been intimate with her leaves a sour taste in my mouth. It could be possible too that she has truly changed but it is really hard for me. This has left me heartbroken and I don’t see myself continuing the relationship with her again as I keep imagining what she could be doing with other guys in my absence.

 I think I have just dodged a bullet … in fact, a grenade.

* If i talk now they will say I am attacking you...

Look at how you jumped into conclusion and believed your friend? what if he knows her but lied about sleeping with her? it is possible to have receipts but story might be different.. why not talk things over with her before you dump her?

You too have your hands been clean? or is i because you stopped gisting us and now behaving as if you are without sin? 

Are you not the Oko Ashawo that was/is gbenshing your customers? Abeg clear!
