Memoirs (Travails) of a Single Girl- Emem Hanson

These write ups are basically figments of my wandering imagination......
some are going to be really silly and some could be as real as real!!!


I don't know why most mothers have refused to tell their daughters,
how they met their husbands. Cheers to the everyday stories they tell us,
as if I even believe it sef!!! I was just there in my father's house and one
man came with his people and said he wants to marry me.(chai just like that).
Your father came back some weeks later and married me and here we are today.
And I'll be wondering, so why has one man not come to knock on my Father's gate now(haba)
and do like that too!!!
One day na one day, monkey go go to market him no go come back.....
that one is gist for another day jare...

So now how do I know who wants to settle down, that was how one
Osama was coming to my house night and day, funny enough the guy man was my very correct Paddie.
Osama worked in an insurance company in another town but spent most weekends with his folks out here.
One sunday evening, Osama was in my house, we went to a Karaoke bar very close to my house,
as at 1am bros was not making any attempt to go back home.
 Bros how far no work tomorrow? Because I know you have to leave this town by 5.30 am for work.
Osama responded that he had 5 days leave.

Saturday was Valentine day, I had gone for a tarry the night before,
so basically I slept all through Saturday, stepped out for a birthday gig towards evening.
Sunday by noon Osama showed up, we were just gisting, had a couple of drinks and I saw him off.
Monday morning was trying to see my project supervisor and I ran into Osama's cousin,
Eteka and the following conversation ensued
"babe how far you no show Osama wedding?
me am like,
which person wedding?

haba Osama now, abi you dey vex? I carry eye find you tire for the wedding.
Osama marry on Saturday now, him no tell you?

Hmmmmm I flip out my phone, Osama did you get married on Saturday?
Osama: (stuttering) yes I did
Me: so why didn't you tell me or invite me now, did I wrong you?
Osama: I did not want to invite my single female friends.
Me: it is well......
