Adebimpe the Facebook Girl (complete Season 5)

EPISODE 16.

The next day which was sunday, I was so anxious to see my new apartment that I didn’t go to church that morning. I trekked to fadeyi and took BRT to maryland. From the bustop, I crossed to the side where bikes used to stay. I gave them the description given to me by bimpe and I board a bike and was dropped infront of the building. it was a storey building with a fence surrounding it. I knocked at the gate and a young man came to open the gate for me to come in. He enquired about who I am and I told him my sister got an apartment here on my behalf. I showed him the receipt bimpe gave me and he smiled and said “your sister or your wife?”. I was like, what do you mean sir?. He replied, “I’m the caretaker of this house, and when our agent brought this lady to me, I told him I’m not giving out the apartment to a single lady or a single guy because I needed someone who would take care of the compound, then she told me its her boyfriend that would be staying here and that she would be coming around often. So why are you denying her?”. I just laughed and was just speechless. “You guys of these days sef, I don’t just know why you like to deny your spouses and call them your sisters” he further said. I just laughed and joked over it as the man took me to the apartment. I entered and saw that it was a room and parlour selfcontain with an inbuilt bathroom, kitchen and toilet. “Chaiiii!!!! I don upgrade”, I checked the room and found a new mattress, rug and some other items, I was just so overwhelmed and my joy knew no bounds.
I returned to mushin that evening and I informed my cousin that I got an apartment in maryland. He was so surprised because he knew how much I earn but I lied to him that it was sublet to me by a friend who relocated to another state and still has 6 months rent left. I moved in the following week and was going there every evening after work. Bimpe suddenly became someone I can’t do without chatting and talking with. We were so close and intimate again as if she wasn’t the same bimpe who was once my greatest nightmare.
We would always talk in the morning when she get to work. We would chat sometimes on break when she Is less busy, and we must chat in the evening. I found myself getting more attracted to her but I keep trying to resist any feelings towards her. I also talked with betty and she told me she won’t be coming back to lagos that weekend, I felt disturbed at first but bimpe’s company reduced the pain of not been able to see my love on weekend.
Up till thursday, segun’s number wasn’t going through and mails weren’t delivering. I became so worried and I called one of his girlfriends whom I have her contacts, she told me “segun!!!!, don’t even ask of him from me again onihaxy, I don’t have anything to do with him again, its been long we broke up”.
*****hmmm sege bad guy!!, e don chop this babe and run be that******.
I became more worried that I became uncomfortable and don’t know what else to do again. At about 5:30pm that evening, i was at work when I got a call from someone.

ME: hello

CALLER: hello, good evening,

ME: good evening.

CALLER: am I speaking with onihaxy?

ME: yes, who is this?

CALLER: ok good. I’m calling you to inform you about your friend segun

Episode 17.

ME: yes yes!!!, I’m onihaxy, what happened to him please?

CALLER: I’m Tunde, a legal practioner.

ME: so what happened to segun please?

CALLER: He purchased a stolen phone from someone,

ME: a stolen phone?

CAlLER: yes, that’s not all, the phone was inside a SUV and both the car and the phone was stolen at the same time. So the phone was traced to him. So he has been charged for armed robbery.

ME: huuh, when did it happen?

CALLER: since last week.

ME: where is him now?

CALLER: he is in the police custody and may be charged to court any moment from now unless we find the person who sold the phone to him or we settle the police so as to prevent the case from getting to court, but I’m not sure the second option will be possible because the owner of the phone and car wanted the matter to get to court,

ME: heeeeeee.

CALLER: since I’m the lawyer working on his case, he gave me your number to call you and inform you about what happened to him.

ME: eyah, I have been trying his line since last week and it wasn’t going through. I have been so worried.

CALLER: yes, the phone is with the police. let’s just keep praying we find the seller of the phone because he eloped immediately he heard segun was arrested.

ME: ok sir, thank you sir, is this your number?

CALLER: yes

ME: ok thanks, I will save it and give you a call.

CALLER: no problem. Bye

I became so weak and restless.
“He must have been badly beaten by now”
” Na crime to buy phone from someone now oo”
“I just wish I can see him right way”.
” He must have been seriously injured by now”.
“And I know segun too well, he doesn’t do crime except for some minor “yahoo yahoo” he did in the past”.
“But why must he purchase phone from someone?”
“What if he will be eventually sentenced to jail?”
“Who would be his replacement in my life?”.
I was so lost in thoughts until one of my team members came to my desk and banged the table, that was when I came back to reality. I just managed to finish my daily target at work that day because I wasn’t happy and I wasn’t myself, my only best friend is in police custody and might go to jail. Funmi noticed my mood that day and enquired about what was happening to me but I told her I was fine. I closed for the day at 6pm and I went home. I was still worried and unhappy, I thought about everything that had happened between us, how we have both went through the thick and thin together, everything we shared and I was shedding tears as my best friend was on his way to jail. I prepared noodles that night and I couldn’t eat it.
At around 8:30pm, I picked my phone and wanted to talk with the lawyer and I discovered my phone was off, I then remembered I switched it off immediately after receiving his call when I just didn’t feel like talking to anyone. I switched on the phone and I got a message from the lawyer saying “hi, I have been trying to call you but your number is unreachable, please call back when you get this message”.
I got scared again and was thinking what could be happening, I checked my airtime balance and found just 4naira credit on my phone, I flashed the guy and he called back.

ME: hello, I just saw your message, my phone has been off since.

TUNDE: yes, I called you but your number wasn’t reachable. I wanted to give you updates after leaving the police station this evening.

ME: ok, what is the update?, any good news?, has my friend been released?,

TuNDE: the police said if we are able to raise 100k before friday evening which is tomorrow, he will be released and the police will forget and scrap the case.

ME: haaa, that’s too much money oo.

TUNDE: you just have to act fast, because after tomorrow and the money is not available, he will be taken to court on monday morning, and from the look of things, its likely for him to get atleast 6years jail.

ME: ok, have you made any contact with his relatives?

TUNDE: no, none of his relative is aware, he said he doesn’t want them to know about it so as not to put them in tension.

ME: haa,

TUNDE: please, don’t inform his family please, only his few selected friends are aware of it.

ME: so what do we do now?

TUNDE: just try and arrange for the money and send to me tomorrow morning so as to work on it faster. The earlier the better.

ME: I don’t have that much at hand at the moment sir, what do I do now?

TUNDE: just try and send the money to the account number I will send to you as a text after this call, its very important if you don’t want your friend to go to jail.

ME: ok sir, let me see what I can do

TUNDE: just do something fast about it. And please, don’t inform any of his family please.

ME: ok sir

TUNDE: ok, I will call back tomorrow morning. Pls try and get something before then.

ME: ok sir

TUNDE: bye.
A text came in after the call and I checked, it was an account number from the lawyer. I sat down on my bed and I started thinking of where to get money before the next day to send to this lawyer. The only person that came to my mind was bimpe. “But how do I tell her that I needed that huge amount?, and the worst thing was that how do I tell her I needed it for segun?. On the other hand, I began to think this could be a scam. How can someone be locked up and his family would not be aware of his arrest?.

EPisode 18.

I couldn’t sleep that night and I was seriously bothered, one part of me was telling me to call bimpe and beg her for money to send to the lawyer, the other part of me was telling me to ignore it that it was a scam. I became confused and don’t know what to do next. I picked my phone and check my contacts to see if I could talk to one of his relatives, I found his sister’s number who stays in the north, I went out to buy 400naira worth of airtime and called her to enquire about segun.

ME: hello ma

SEGUN’s SISTER: hello good evening onihaxy, long time ooooo. This one that you called me today after so many years, I hope you have goodies for me?

ME: ***smiled****

SEGUN’s SISTER: abi now. So how are you? And how is work? I heard you have been out of akure.

ME: yes ma, work is fine and everything is fine ma. How is segun?, are you hearing from him?

SEGUN’s SISTER: segun?, its been long I heard from him. Its been over a month now. He doesn’t call unless I call him.

ME: eeyah. I have been trying to reach him since last weekend and his number has not been reachable.

SEGUN’s SISTER: eeyah. Maybe I will try calling him tonight before I sleep.

ME: **felt like breaking the crime news to her but I kept mute on it*** ok ma, pls help me tell him to call me when you get through to him.

SEGUN’s SISTER: ok dear, goodnight.

Still curious and restless, I called my mum in to ask if she saw segun recently and she told me the last time she saw segun was 3-weeks ago.
Haa!!!, “what do I do now?”, segun’s sister does not know his whereabouts, mumsy said its been long she saw segun, he had relocated from the address he used to reside to another area 5 months ago and neither my mum nor I knew the address because I was in ado ekiti when he changed apartment. I called his sister back to ask if she eventually reached segun and she told me segun’s line was unreachable. My heart began to beat heavily and faster and I don’t know what to do next.
“Should I beg bimpe for money to pay this guy?”
“Should I ignore?”
“What if segun is eventually in police net?”
“Won’t I look like a bad friend for not helping?”
“I trust segun, he would go any length for me to be free if I were to be in his situation”.
” Segun will go any length to free me if I were to be the one arrested”.
After thinking for a long time, I made up my mind and concluded to travel to home the next day. “Tomorrow is friday and I’m supposed to be at work, what do I do?”. I picked my phone and called my teamlead to inform him that I wasn’t feeling fine and would be going to the hospital for a treatment on friday morning, he told me “no problem, but when you are coming here on monday morning, don’t forget to bring your doctor’s report because that will be the only evidence to show that you actually visited an hospital and it will be filed in your folder”.
Mtcheeew, doctor’s report?, that one na small thing!!!, I picked my phone and called bimpe.

ME: hi bimpe,

BIMPE: hello uncle onihaxy

ME: uncle onihaxy kee? can I speak with you for a moment please

BIMPE: ****background conversation: its uncle onihaxy*** ok, I’m with you.

ME: who are you talking with there?

BIMPE: its henry, he asked me who is concubine talking with me and I said its you.

ME: laughed let me speak with him

BIMPE: ok. gave the phone to henry

HENRY: hi mr onihaxy

ME: hi sir, good evening sir, its been a long time sir. I’m sorry for not calling you all this while.

HENRY: no problem na. But you can talk to mummy daniella abi?

ME: haaa, not like that sir. I just wanted to make some enquires from her concerning some medical issues.

HENRY: no wahala, just kidding, you are free. Hope you are hearing from betty

ME: yes sir, we spoke everyday, I’m seriously missing her.

HENRY: hmmmmm, she is enjoying herself with her father in abuja oooo.

ME: yes, she told me, when will she be back to lagos.

HENRY: I can’t say ooo. It depends on her and when her father decided to release her. But she should be back before the end of the month sha.

ME: ok sir

HENRY: you are welcome, let me hand you over to mummy daniella.

ME: ok sir

BIMPE: uncle onihaxy, you said you wanted to speak with me.

ME: yes, please I need a doctor’s report on malaria/typhoid please.

BIMPE: what for?, what happened?

ME: I wanted to travel home tomorrow and I lied at work that I’m sick and would be going to clinic for check up.

BIMPE: hmmmmm, so how will you get the report?

ME: hmmmmmmm, can it be scanned and sent to my mail?

BIMPE: no problem sir, send your email to me.

ME: no problem, thank you very much ma. And secondly, I wanted to borrow small money from you till month end when I will be paid at work.

BIMPE: ehn ehn?

ME: yes, like 50k

BIMPE: ok, no problem

ME: thank you so much

BIMPE: you are welcome sir. Do have a good night rest.

ME: sweetdreams . Bye.

I picked my small cross bag, stocked it with 3 shirts and some other things while I planned on how to travel home very early the next day.

Episode 19.

I woke up very early on Friday morning, I had my bath and went straight to the park and got there around 5:30am and the bus took off at around 6am. My mind was seriously troubled with mixed thoughts of either meeting my friend chilling at home or chilling inside police cell. I lost appetite to eat anything that morning, all I just wanted is to see segun. At few minutes past 7am, bimpe called me to request for my account number which I sent to her immediately. While I was still in the bus reminiscing and thinking, my phone rang again at 7:25am, I looked at the screen and found out it was the lawyer calling and I picked.

ME: hello good morning

LAWYER: good morning. I just want to inform you that I’m on my way to the station. The DPO said I should be there to meet him latest by 9am. And anything beyond that, your friend is going to court.

ME: haa, I don’t have that huge amount at the moment and there is no way I can raise it today.

LAWYER: haaa, how do you want us to do it now? I don’t want this case to go to court, or else, more money will be spent on the case, and he might be eventually jailed.

ME: that is true, but what can we do now?

LAWYER: ok, can you get like 50k?, I will try and arrange for the rest, he is a very good friend of mine also.

ME: ok, I will try. But can I speak with him please?

LAWYER: no, you won’t be able to speak with him until he is been released. He had been restricted from communications.

ME: ok, can I bring the money to the station myself?.

LAWYER: bring money by yourself?, but I was told you are far away in lagos. How will you make it down here before 9am?.

ME: ***this should be real oo. How come he knew I was in lag?**** I should be able to make it sir.

LAWYER: this is 7:30am, its impossible for you to be here before 9am.

ME: ok please, can you help me to negotiate a little time with the police to wait for my arrival?.

LAWYER: there is no time for that. After 9 o’clock, there would be no remedy again and it will be late to save him. Well, if you insisted that you can’t rescue your friend, then no problem. Let me call the police and tell them to forget about settling the case out of court then.

ME: haaaaa!!!!!!

LAWYER: meet your friend in court on tuesday Mr onihaxy. I’m done with this case. And if you still need my assistance in court, call me when you are around and let’s discuss the service charge.

ME: ok ok ok, I will send the money.

LAWYER: its late already mr onihaxy, I have another person’s case to attend to, employ another lawyer to bail your friend. Bye.

ME: hello

LAWYER: ****hanged up****

I was totally confused and began to sweat instantly. I checked my contacts again and I couldn’t find anyone to call who could help me to confirm segun’s whereabouts. I had no choice than to call the lawyer again myself. I dialled his number and he didn’t pick up. He eventually picked up after the 6th call.

ME: hello sir, please I’m ready to send the money sir.

LAWYER: get another lawyer sir, I’m no longer interested.

ME: I’m sorry sir, I don’t have anyone else to call. I don’t want my friend to step his feet into court let alone going to jail please.

LAWYER: ok, I’m expecting the transfer so that I can withdraw it before 9am.

ME: ok sir. I’m in a bus going to work, I will transfer it latest 8:30am sir.

LAWYER: ok, no problem. Later ***hanged up*******

This time, I became totally confused. The time was 8am and I was still at ijebu ode. I began to contemplate on whether to send the money or not. Even if I was going to send anything, I needed to get down from the bus or I use my bank application on my phone.
At 8:20am, I got a credit alert of 50k in my account and I got a little bit relieved that solution was near. At 8:35, the lawyer called me again to tell me he was on his way to the police station and he needed to get the money before getting there. I begged him and told him to wait for me that I was caught up in a traffic. I guess he heard the sound of a moving vehicle and got convinced. He said to me ,”Anyways, I’m with my ATM card, you have to be fast as 9am is the deadline please”. I replied and said thank you sir.

Fews minutes to 9am. I was still in the bus as the bus had already reached ore and was getting closer to ondo town. The battery of my phone was already at 11% and I was praying hard for it not to go off. My phone rang again and I looked at the screen. It was the same lawyer calling. Before I could pick the call, my battery meter showed the red colour and immediately, “battery is too low for radio to use” was displayed on the screen as the network changed from “EDGE” to “OFF”. I just made up my mind and I was like ” too late to play game and pull stunts, the hard way……the only way!!!!!!”

Episode 20

I remained inside the bus with a mixed feelings. I thought of the lawyer who could have been trying my line, I thought of my friend who was in the police cell, I thought of how jail was going to look like on him and I started to rebuke it as I was thinking out loud that even the co-passengers sitting closer to me began to look at my face with this kind of “hope this boy isn’t mad” look but I ignored them and focus more on how to see my friend and rescue him. I got to akure at few minutes to 11am, I didn’t even call or visit my family, I stopped a bike and went straight to segun’s former residence. It took me like 25minutes to get there and I alighted from the bike and went straight inside the compound. I saw a woman walking out from the passage whose face was not familiar to me, “she must be a new tenant there” I thought. I greeted her and asked of segun who was a former tenant of the house, she said she didn’t know anyone who bears that name. I left her and went to “mama sofiyat” door and knocked. She opened and screamed my name “heeee onihaxy, is this your face?, you just stopped visiting us since your friend packed out of here, koda oooooo”. I replied, “its wasn’t like that ma. I wasn’t in akure for a long time now, even before segun moved out of here, na lag I dey”. “Its true sha, Boda segun said it when I asked of you from him. So how is work and how is lagos?, what did you bring for me?”. I replied ” so many things ma. But that will be later, I’m still around till next weekend. How is my friend? Please do you know his new residence?”. Mama sofia replied that she didn’t know it as she wasn’t around when segun packed out of the house. She directed me to the barber who has a shop outside the house. I left mama sofiat and went to meet the barber. He greeted me and we exchanged pleasantries. After a long conversation, he gave me segun’s new address and I thanked him.
I stopped another bike and gave the bike-man the address, he charged me N200 and took to the place. I dropped at the front of the compound and went to the house, it has a black gate and appeared more decent compared to his former house. “This must be a self-contain”, I thought to myself as I knocked on the gate several times. A woman came out, opened the gate and asked me who I was seeking for.

” Good afternoon ma, my name is onihaxy, I’m looking for a friend called segun, he stays in this compound”. She replied “oh bother segun?, its been long we saw him ooooo,he just went out of the house one day and no one knew his whereabout. Maybe he travelled, maybe he is still in town?, no one knows, his door is locked and his number had not been reachable”.

“Haaaaa, excuse me ma, was he involved in any crime or was he arrested?”.

” I can’t say oooo, I went to work that day and returned home only to find his absence.”

“Haaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, heeeeeee!!!”

“Why screaming youngman?, hope all his well?”

” Yes ma, just wondering where he would be at the moment”

” Ok, come inside and talk to the landlord, who knows?, he might be aware of his whereabouts”

I followed her inside the compound and she pointed at the landlord’s door and she told me to knock and ask from him.
