Dear Regina: Jack’s pot

Uncategorized

Dear Regina,

How is the pretty face and body of yellow chocolate coping with the fast rising fame?

You hit jackpot though. You got a money drum. But somehow this is unfair. Why must it be the girls alone?

When is my Folorunso Alakija locating me? Or what’s wrong if Ibukun Awosika makes me husband number two? Even Mo Abudu is there.

Life is hard for the guys. We need equality. It’s unfair. We need to start a masculinists campaign!

I know many women around the social media country. Many facebookers, netizens, here and there who will bite my ear if they can, because I dish advice of a particular kind to women like you in the name of InstaLetters.

Some women have man issues. They had one man in their world that didn’t treat them well and hence any man talking about the ‘trash’ of any woman must be ‘trashed’ by them.

You are married to a man 40 years older than you. Or so it seems. Nothing about this is officially announced by you. Nothing about this is also officially refuted. But somehow the people run with the news and gossips.

Every day, there’s one more gossip about you. Somehow it gets the people even distracted from what they are supposed to take more seriously (e.g we were almost concluding our investigation to know if Buhari is Jubril or not before you dropped news of your newly bought cars and mashion).

I won’t blame you for being too loud. Can’t blame you for being you. Can’t ask you to control the way you feed newsmen with something to write about. I can’t ask you to tone down the glamour and material showboating.

Why should I?

You are old enough. And have your loving mum guiding you. But…

Just ensure you don’t come crying to the public. That’s all we ask of. We were not there when the sugar mixed with liquid gold all over you in the sweetest places your loving billionaire man hosted you.

Okay, sorry, somehow, we were there. You carried us along. You gave us pictures and clues. Sometimes you gave us videos and audios. You showed us the glitz and glamour.

But all we were allowed to do is see and gossip. The gossip somehow affects your ratings and rankings. I hear you now collect N500k and above for movie roles.

Thanks to your steady hard work and your rising fame. The popularity is selling. The people did this for you. They talked about you. The same way people will talk about any scandal or heartbreak that will emerge.

So be ready, be prepared. Money is good. I can’t even start lying. But somehow it isn’t usually the real deal. People who have peace, grace and live a purpose driven life seem to find more joy.

I hope there’s joy in what you have found. Life is about times and seasons. And then we plant and harvest. You are young and still have time to make mistakes.

I made my mistakes. I learned and adjusted. We all have made mistakes. Some learned and adjusted but there are people who refused to learn or adjust.

Don’t be like them. You must understand you are a married woman now. You are the 6th wife of a very influential man. There are many who will die for that position you occupy. There are many who won’t. They rather be the number one.

The media awaits your downfall. That’s the simple truth. They have set a time ticking. Just as Etinosa had a money bet with her mother that you would get pregnant soon. Some have had bets that the wedding won’t last.

So as you live your freedom, be wise and do good to ensure your future happiness is not a gamble. I wish you everything good.

Your man is a politician. Perhaps, he has done this to start his plans and journey to Aso Rock. He had 5 quiet wives before you. You are definitely the loudest. And you will make a fine first lady (at least the duties aren’t as difficult as it use to be during the days of Patience Jonathan. Thesedays, you are only obligated to function in the federal affairs of the other room and the first kitchen).

He’s also a lawyer. And indeed quite well-read. He is entitled to what he can afford. Even his religion allows him to have many wives he can afford. His eyes found you, his pocket speaks. And the sound colors your Instagram page.

Congratulations.

Your Skin Of Sugar And Gold Spotter,
Ediale
