Last Story from my good friend; RIP Sylvester Bane Barzini
THE ACTIVIST’S RAT
Yesterday, I overheard my house rat complaining to my neighbours’ rat, of the unfortunate wretchedness and poverty that has befallen him by virtue of his co-habitation with an activist. In other words, me.
“Just look at me?’ It moaned. “My tail has lost all its flesh. I now look lean and pitiful”
“I mean, who removes the battery from the clock after he wakes up?” He asked in total despair and concern. “I used to laugh at Moses, that church rat, but I heard he now flies with his bishop in a private jet, gone are the days when church rats were used as reference points of poverty. It is rats as unfortunate as I am to be holed up in this wretched activist’s apartment”
I was certain I was not dreaming, I snapped my finger to be sure I had a grasp on reality. This useless rat just called me ‘wretched’. Of course I knew the rat, I had decided to leave it as company in case I got too lonely and bored.
“Just last week” It continued, “The idiot wrote a scathing article criticising Reuben Abati. He used pencil because he could not even afford a ball pen to write the article. Can you imagine? Is compromise and corruption not far better than this devilish poverty he has become comfortable with?”
“Why don’t you just move out of the house instead of complaining?” My neighbor’s rat asked my rat. A question I would have gladly asked the ingrate myself.
“Oh I am leaving. I already made arrangement to move to Chief Okpobrisi’s house two streets away. This pauper’s rent would expire in two weeks; I know he does not have the money to pay. I just want to watch the landlord throw him out. It would satisfy me”
“Bloody traitor” I muttered under my breath
“While all his colleagues and friends moved on to the other side of the field where the grasses are ever-green he has become a permanent ‘occupy poverty’ activist.”
“The other day I heard him complaining over the phone of the inability of the government to provide efficient health care facility in the country, hence the frequent departure to foreign country by our politician whenever they catch a cold. If it is not bad-belle healthily mixed with pauperism that is worrying him why should he be complaining? The shoe he is wearing is enough to make anyone sick for life?”
I conjured up the worst curse ever possible, and in my mind, laid it firmly on the soul of this treacherous rat.
“It is this same unfortunate man that was complaining that a telecommunications company was out of their wits with their airplane promotion”
Gesturing with his feeble forelimbs, it attempted to mimic my voice. “This is preposterous and a mockery of the sanity of the Nigerian advertising space”
Close I would say, but not quite me. “How will he not be blowing grammar when he cannot afford to load N200 card inside his phone?”
But I loaded N200 last month in my phone? This rat was lying against me. This was ludicrous slander!
“He even had the guts to complain of the ‘Cabal’ last week, ranting in hunger about how the cabal had quietly suppressed the subsidy probe report, and how certain he was that no good was ever to come out from the probe. He even mooted the idea of organizing yet another rally to protest the failure of government to act appropriately on the subsidy scam”
My rat laughed bitterly.
“He has not yet probed his life as to why poverty has adopted him as heir-apparent he is there complaining of things only rich corrupt men can understand.
The neighbor’s rat smiled. I was being made the subject of their mirthless jest.
“Was he not slaving himself everyday in January, trekking for five hours every day because of the ant-subsidy rally, where did that get anyone? His foolishness has not upper limit.”
This was going too far! How could this rat be so mean?
“Just last week when his friend came around, he was talking so confidently about how the new N5000 note the CBN plans to introduce in 2013 would exacerbate the inflation in the country. You should have heard how articulate and eloquent he sounded; one could have mistaken him for an intelligent fellow.”
The neighbor’s rat stopped smiling.
“But he sounds intelligent to me, and from what you say he seems to speak intelligently too” My neighbor’s rat said
“In this country only bank accounts are intelligent.”
My rat asserted with an air of reprimand, as though he wished to save my neighbor’s rat from making a grave life-threatening mistake.
“If you see a man who knows everything but yet has been hand-picked by poverty as a running-mate, run! It is false-intelligence. True intelligence comes with a healthy bank account and a cosy living room.” He said watching his listener nod his head as though he had been conferred with some supreme understanding.
“You cannot compare the intelligence of Patience Jonathan with that of the Late Gani Fawenhinmi. That woman is filled with intelligence” He said with awesome reverence written all over his face.
“And I heard the rat that stayed in Gani’s house ran out in madness after hearing ‘masses’ too many times for one rat. And this unfortunate one that I erroneously pitched my tent with has decided to be the Tai Solarin of his time….forgetting that Honesty, truth, and sincerity has been taken to the slab and slaughtered in this country”
“Was he not the one complaining of the credibility of the individuals conferred with National honors? Those NYSC members that died serving the country during the last general elections as well as the driver that returned N18million did not even get a side wink from the presidency and yet he wants to continue in his foolery. This man is surely poverty’s biggest fan”
I had heard enough insults from a creature I provided shelter for, this ungrateful rodent that fed off the $scraps that barely filled my stomach. I jumped off my mattress and reached for the scattered broom I kept at the under the table.

Implicit Me
Give it to me baby,
yeh, work it, yeh I love that a**
His rants annoy me the more. I yawn and wonder when
this will end as ‘He’ cripped into my imagination and I smile
Yeah baby, I'm hitting a cord yeh? I love making you smile
What is wrong with this idiot? I said to myself as my smile turned to a frown. I push him off
Emm I am tired, can’t
you cum already haba, I’m I a machine?
But baby you use to love going on for hours
Yes before, now I’m
old and you are getting regular, doing the same thing and you need to lose that
belle fat
I said as I ran the shower. Playing with myself, I imagines ‘his’
arms caressing my body. Deep breath. My hands glide down south
Fifi what do you mean I’m
now regular? Are you calling me boring?
I scream in anger as his voice distorted my day dreaming.
Can you just let me be?
Deep breath,
I look straight at him and say ‘guy, you
have always been boring I just loved you for who you are and thought I could unleash
your wild but I can’t. Now
will you shoo off’!
He looked at me with that puppy look that always melts my
heart
Emy, I’m sorry ok?,
just tensed. The lounge opening is putting a tone on me
Fifi, you called me
boring, I remember before we started dating you called me slow. Can I ever
please you?
That is the problem Emy,
stop trying to please me ok. Sigh
Ok I will, but you
know I’m crazy about you, I lov..sorry
Emy, you need a sweet girl like you not a wild
heartless babe like me na
But you are sweet and
nice and not a bit heartless you just protect your heart from good men and it’s
not nice
Stepping out of the shower naked, I went straight for my
dress. Sat on the dressing table seat and start to type on my Ipad ‘can you come over in like
30minutes? I need you to fuck me silly, no words just fuck’
A smile creep on my face as I get the response- ‘Make it 20minutes n get him out of the house NOW’.
I walked to Emy, all dressed up and planted a kiss on his lips.
Emm, I need to be alone now ok, when you have
something interesting for the lounge, give me a buzz
He kiss back and steps out the door. I watch him go and blow
a kiss at him as he closes the door behind him.
Door shut.
I quickly run to my
closet pulling out a red doll lingerie.
Hose dragging up my leg as the door bell rings. I smile,
waiting for the second.
Quickly, I put on my red heels as the door bell rings a
second time.
I smile again, run to the dressing table seat, legs wide
open with nothing covering it, I tear the lollipop from its cover and suck on
it.
The door slams open.
He stands at the door; 6feet 6inches tall, broad chest with
a 6 pack bulging from underneath a tight deep v-neck tee.
I could see his erect lollipop fighting for freedom from
under the tight jeans.
He slams the door shut and quickly gets out of his clothes.
I sit still, sucking.
Aggressively, he walks towards me and goes down on me as I let
out a loud moan…
This is the life, this is how it is meant to be always!
He loved to suck my insides especially after a man had been there. Not him, another and that was the freaky side of him that I loved.
He hardly spoke when in this mood.
Gets up, drags me by my hair to a stand and turns me over. He
bites on my neck then aggressively, he pushes me down as I bend over, breast on
the chair.
Without a word, he plunges into me
I scream out in pain and pleasure
This is what good sex is all about, not love making, this is
what good sex should be like
