Chapter 14: Hope and Fury
“You suppose die bad death!”
“Na so una dey do for this country, nothing go ever better for you!”
“You be beast, monster wey dey waka for night.”
People dey draw my face with horn for meme, dey share for WhatsApp group. E pain me reach bone.
“How you fit touch three-year-old pikin, you no get conscience!”
Nobody dey believe say e fit be lie. Everybody don judge me before truth show.
Within few days, I collect hundreds of thousands of abuse messages.
My phone dey hot, every notification na insult. People dey threaten me, dey wish me bad things. Some dey promise to beat me if dem catch me for street.
People put funeral wreaths for my shop front, even throw shit for there.
Every morning I clean nonsense, people still dey drop another. Neighbour dey avoid my shop, some dey cross road when dem see me. Shame dey kill me.
My papa and wife info leak, dem dey insult and disturb them too.
My papa phone no rest. My wife dey cry every night. People send death threat, insult, even to my small pikin. I no know which side to face.
