Dear Regina: Jack’s pot
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
