There are two known truths in this life. One, tomorrow is not promised; and two, my best friend Naza knows everything about everything.
And by everything, I mean every damn thing. What does she not know? It was from her I heard that Fatima, that thick-waisted celebrity who influences a weight loss product, with a flawless, yellow-paw-paw, no-scar-no-scratch skin that glows like a smooth-textured flesh, an alabaster of gleaming goodness, actually went under the knife for her magnificent figure. Weight loss product in the mudβ¦. I also heard from her that Fr. Mike, our charismatic Parish Priest who just returned from Prague, has two kids from different women.
If you want to hear the real gist behind Big Brother Naija auditions, then you know whom to meet. Is it amala you want to buy? Naza has ten plugs scattered in ten different markets for that. How about gold? She will connect you to the most influential jewelers in town.
Her agility for sourcing information is unmatched and more than half the time, her stories are genuine. And as her friend, I get to enjoy the exclusive of any gist, before blogs even think of carrying them.
I chuckle. I pinch her toe and as she lets out a yelp, and at the same time, power is restored. But can the power holders ever restore it as quietly as they took it without causing trouble? If they had burned my home theatre what will I tell daddy?
