There is a woman I know who lives at Oshodi axis of Lagos state where
my friend lives. My friend actually lives in a one room apartment
(face me and face you) and you'd always see me there when I am bored
or sad.
Come and see my friend's compound, Chineke! The compound is very big,
I don't even know how many people live there, but I know of a woman
called, "Mama Favour" who her husband always beats blue-black, leaving
her with either a black eye or a broken ankle to nurse.
Mama Favour, sincerely turns out to be, an educated woman, very
beautiful, she possesses a great command of English and very
knowledgable....but what I just can't come to terms with is, why she
would allow her husband, "Papa Favour" to beat her anytime he wishes.
This man would abuse and disrespect her without caution. He will
proudly use his belt on her, even in front of other neigbhours, he
will slap her silly, and mama Favour would be on the floor crying,
using her hands to protect her face. Sometimes the neigbhours help her
out, other times they can't help cos papa Favour would lock her up in
his room and beat her.
Why was he always beating her? Its either she cooked late, she didnt
wash his clothes, she went to complain to his family members or she
came back late from church etc. ( I don't know if its true o, thats
what I heard lol)
Even though Mama Favour is my friend, as in we talk once in a while,
but I have never for once asked her why she would still remain in her
husband's house with all the beating, abuse and disrespect....cos i
sabi say, its really non of my business..... even though I was somehow
genuinely concerned, I just felt like since I am not her relative or
her neigbhour I have no say.
The only thing mama Favour and I discuss are experiences, educational
topics e.t.c but I made sure I don't spend much time with her cos
she's a married woman and I don't want her husband accusing her of
anything lol..... she's a very intelligent woman and thats one of the
reasons I have her as a friend.
Last month I went to visit my friend and I asked after mama Favour and
I was told she's in the hospital.. Why? What happened? Her husband did
the usual thing, this time she fainted and was rushed to the
hospital..... I was like, ''shey this woman wan die for this man house
ni?'' But i lock up, cos na family issue.
Ok, to cut the story short.... last 2 sundays I went to Oshodi to
visit my friend on my way back from a friend's birthday party and
booommm.....
" You this stupid man you must kill me today o. Useless man. you no
dey see your mate?'' I saw mama Favour rush out of her one room
apartment crying and at the same time talking back at her husband in a
disrespectful way.... ''Ode, oloshi. Na ebola go kill you. Useless
man. you dey here dey ask for food. You give me money? the food wen
you chop for night you know where e come from.. '' as she was
insulting him she was moving away from him to avoid him beating her.
''You must kill me o'' she kept on shouting.. ''kill me o useless
man''..... Papa Favour stood outside their apartment angirly, '' shebi
na this house you go enter today'' He asked.
''Oloshi, house rent wen you never pay? If not because of Favour you
think say I go still dey here?'' Mama Favour replied...... lol
Soon the argument died down then I went into my friend's room. But in
another 10minutes I heard a loud scream, ''Yeeee, my belle o''..... my
friend and I rushed out and it was mama favour and her husband again.
''Papa Favour, you no dey tire to dey beat this woman?'' my friend
asked from a distance. But Papa Favour didnt answer him.
Mama Favour was holding on to his cloth shouting, ''you must kill me o''...
Favour, their son saw that his father was beating his mother and ran
to help.. ''daddy daddy, leave mummy alone'' he said crying.... Papa
Favour looked at him and used his left hand to push him away. Favour
fell down crying.
When mama Favour saw this, she was provoked, got up from the ground
and gave her husband a very loud slap. Pushed him away and gave him a
heavy beating.. Lol, the beating no be for here o.
As in , mama Favour beat papa Favour ehn that everyone in the compound
were surprised..
To be sincere I was happy watching how mama Favour beat her husband.
Lmaoooo.....He needs to taste his own medicine. I know its wrong but
she has been disrespected too much lol...
So I got home that day with a smile on my face. I called my friend
yesterday to ask him ''how far'' as the amebo was really itching me
and he told me, ''Guy, come and see respect, abi na fear... Papa
Favour never touch em wife since o. infact them don arrange family
meeting to settle to matter''
LOL......
Now I can understand why a chicken would chase you like no man's
business, when you go near their chicks but wouldn't do nothing if
they have no chick. lol...
I just pray Mama favour and Papa Favour settle their matter and Papa
Favour won't beat his wife again (even though say the man don dey
fear, as in e no want another embarassment) and I also pray Mama
Favour wouldn't disrespect her husband by beating and insulting
him.... LOL
This is why I love face me and face you apartment. You'll see me there
when I am bored. As in, enough amebo...
