May Day, Tiwa Savage, Her Husband And Nigeria by Reuben Abati

"Ol'boy, man don see something oh."
"Wetin you see?"
"My eyes don see something. My ears don hear, and my mouth sef, I for talk something join."
"Talk make I hear"
"No be dis Tiwa Savage and him husband matter? The husband wey say him wife offend am, he no gi am food, him wife dey form for house but him dey open leg for other men, and na another woman they give am edible catering, and the man come vex he wan jump inside river for Lekki-Ikoyi bridge"
"Who the hell are you talking about?"
"Tiwa Savage and her husband"
"And who are those?"
"Tiwa, now. Marvin First Lady.  She is one of Nigeria's topmost female artistes. And her husband.  They are quarrelling. The husband tried to commit suicide. She says her husband prefers to follow other women, take cocaine and ignore his responsibilities as a man and a husband. Social media is agog with the news. Mainstream media is feeding on it too. The man even tried to jump into the Lagoon."
"And has he done so?"
"No. He was restrained by Banky W and Peter Okoye."
"And who are those? Red Cross Officials?"
"You are in this country and you don't know Banky W and Peter Okoye?"
"There is no way anyone can possibly know all the members of the Red Cross? "
"They are musicians, not Red Cross, not NEMA"
"Oh, I see"
