It is not an easy thing to manage other people’s money. If you are not careful, you can get to trouble. And financial ruin.
Aunty had prided herself on being prudent. A thing of pride for her. Dutiful and meticulous. She used to say “no one can get to me” I am above temptation. Many tried but failed. Then she met Farida. High flying Farida. Party goer and gorgeous mama. They became friends and rolled together. Soon Farida introduced her to the better life. Aunty enjoyed parties and co.
Farida introduced her to investments in Dubai. Homes and properties. The new destination she told Aunty. Aunty was very cautious. She put in some. She got returns. She played with the rules.
She had considerable cash in her custody. One day she went to meet her boss. That she would be retiring soon. She was leaving the firm. Priced a high rental. Money was coming in. She was going places. She had even started fighting Japan.
She bought a new car. She attended a party and met Sekoni. A hunk. Sekoni soon won her heart. Sekoni was a liger… he made her purr and moan… soon they were doing business together. She introduced him to offshore investors in Dubai. She introduced him to Farida. They were a trio hanging out together.
Then a mega deal came. I don’t need to tell you that story. A predictable end. She could not resign anymore she was stuck with the job and had to pay debts. They did her badly. She later found out that Sekoni and Farida were siblings. One took her heart, the other took her funds.
What worried her most was that Sekoni also packed her underwear. Why? she did not know. But he left her a note …
When she discovered she wailed…”Oko mi lowo.. otun ko pata”
The note he left read …”Olubadan ki se eni a ri fin”
