The Wedding Party 2 - Episode 3
After the lunch with the family, her Dad and I took out sometime to talk and he laden me with a bunch of questions which I believe cant be likely even on “who wants to be a millionaire”. Above it all, we were able to finish up the question and answer session with football talks and fortunately for me, he was a Barcelona fan.
Fiyinfoluwa later joined us in the sitting room amidst the football talk with her father. Not long, her mother came in and she sat opposite me. Fiyin’s dad later left us as he has some meetings to attend.
Omo mi, (my child) welcome to our home. Fiyin’s mother broke the silence.
Thank You ma. I replied with a smile of satisfaction.
But your name is quite familiar. She said
Oh really? I asked not knowing the angle where she is coming from.
Gbenga Olowo right? She asked again
Yes ma. I replied
Did you by any means know anybody by that name Olamide Olowo?
Fiyin and I looked at ourselves at the same time then busted into laughter.
After some time, we stopped laughing
I am Ola_Olowo ma. Where did you get that name ma? I asked
You are? Wow. Interesting. She exclaimed then she walked over to her shelf and brought out a copy of my first published book, “My NYSC Diary”
Ha! Mummy, you got my book?
I was astonished.
I am a literature teacher . I ran into one of my co-teachers reading this book and she recommended me to read of it

. I must confess you are really gifted.
Thank you ma. I replied stylishly
But I still wonder why you chose to marry someone from Ibadan after all of the things you wrote in detriment of the state capital here. She said making reference to the book.
I don’t understand ma. I stammered
Are you not the one that wrote this? She said as she began to flip through the pages in the book.
“Ibadan people will have an accident, stand up, curse the driver, then fall down and die”
“A typical Ibadan man sprays all his money at a party and trecks home”
“The world cannot end tomorrow because Ibadan girls still use spoon to drink Viju milk”
“Ibadan girls know more INCANTATIONS than bible verses”
“With the current recession, an Ibadan parent will still collect tithe and offering during morning devotion”
“If an Ibadan man was the owner of blackberry, BBM smileys would have tribal marks”
“It is only in an Ibadan fast food, that you will see “Meat pie N120..Meatpie (with Gen) N1500”
“Ibadan guys are free because that girls think KFC is a football club”
“One Ibadan girls just said TFC and KFC are twin brother, Taiwo and Kehinde friend chicken”
“It is only in Ibadan that driver use hand to control traffic even when the car indicator is still intact” You will be hearing “So poo rowo mi”
Errmmm..i scratched my head.. I could not have agreed that what I have written some years ago was going to boomerang?
I remembered vividly that one of my fans once told me the write up was going to get me into trouble.
Read " The wedding party " by the same author ( OlaOlowo )
. Now it has!
I was under a tensed pressure sweating. My palms was wet. Fiyin was of bewildered countenance. I was left dumbfounded.
Mummy, that was just a story ma. It was never meant to make mockery of the people from Ibadan.
Will you shut up my friend? She barked.
I learnt you were given an award regarding this book. She asked again
Yes, yes ma. I still surprisingly couldn't help stammering over again.
So after winning an award on abusing Ibadan people, you think you can now marry one of us? Its not possible. She said
Mummy! Fiyin called her mum
Shut up there! Her mother shouted at her
Mr. Writer, see. You cant marry my daughter o. Okay? Don’t let me see you in this house again! Okay? She Shouted as I scrambled to my feet and walked out.

That was harsh of her mother,as a literature teacher she should have known better, that the story is just a fiction,a figment of the guy's imagination,why take it to heart?
