Letter To Ese

Dear Ese,

Have I failed you as a brother? How do you see me now? Like a brother who don't even care about your well being? If yes, what can I do to change the thought? I have been up since I heard about what you have been through in an unknown house with a wicked old man since you were 13. Wait?! Since last year? Oh Ese, all you wanted was good education and a bright future but? But? Who should we blame for this Ese? Mother and daddy for being poor? The government? The people?

*Ese Please Answer Me* (Cries).

You should see how Nigerians are fighting for your come back Ese, we have missed you. Mother can't stop crying, siblings and friends can't stop weeping.

Ese! Ese!! Ok, please answer me. "Will you ever get over the trauma? Will you ever forgive the country and the useless old fool that did this to you? Ese! Ese! Stop crying, I have failed you but please, make our parents, friends happy again. Think of how mama tried her best to give everything despite not having.

Ese, I can't hold the tears from falling. I have to stop here, my ink is running out and I have no money to buy another. We love you Ese, you are not Aisha, you are not bride Ese, you are our own!

Dear Mama Ese,

ABUJA

ABUJA

Abuja, a place for the weak and strong beings.

Demoralizing the poor and empowering the rich.

Extravagant blood mixed with hot sweat.

Disvirgin the holy hearts.

Injustice lost but found.

Justice found but lost.

Independence at last to Abuja.

BELLA (Rape Awareness)

My name is Bella and I'm not AFRAID to say IT.

Should I be scared of talking about what people need to know? Shouldn't I talk about what happened to me while I was in the University of ******, Nigeria? I have thought about it and I want Nigerians, Africans and the world to know about this evil act.

I met Jide when I was in my 200l in the university. Jide was a tall, handsome and intelligent boy but I never knew he could be so wicked and self-centered. I was a student of Mass-Comm and he was a student of Psychology but that didn't stop our relationship from working. Everybody knew about our relationship, girls were jealous and even some gay guys were wishing Jide was theirs. Jide seemed to be the perfect guy, he had everything I wanted in a guy but? I was wrong. He always wanted us to be together, maybe to show me off to his friends? I really didn't know but he always wanted that. Oh, before I forget, I was a VIRGIN when I met Jide ( Yes, a 200l mass-comm girl was a VIRGIN). Making love with guys wasn't the problem but not seeing a guy to sex was my problem but when I met Jide, I knew it was time for me to do it.

I wasn't sure he knew about my Virginity status and I made sure I didn't tell him, all I wanted was for him to find out himself. He was caring, loveable, respectful and proud to have me as his girlfriend. Some of my friends were jealous but I never gave so much attention to whatever they had in mind because i loved Jide so much. "Will you go to club with me this night"? Jide said this to me via a phone call. I didn't know what to reply but I gave a positive answer at the end of the conversation. I looked forward already, told my friends to pick clothes for me so I could choose for the night.

Jide came to pick me up at 9pm in my hostel and we went straight to a club outside school. I wasn't sure of what I was doing, I knew it was wrong but I followed because I loved my boyfriend. "Jide? Clubbing"? Questions popped in my mind as he drove to the unknown club. I killed the thought immediately so I could enjoy myself at the club. We got to the club, been my first time ever, everything looked strange, the slopes, the bar, different people dancing and drinking. I was happy and at the same time scared about the decision I made to follow Jide but I trusted him more. "What will you drink Miss"? Jide asked and I said anything. I drank so much that night I got intoxicated and a part of me knew I was in for something.

Jide didn't bother driving back to school but to his home. We got home and I told him to take me to a room so I can sleep since I was very tired. After some hours, I heard a knock on the door
*He PUSHED ME, BEAT ME & RAPED ME*
I couldn't believe what happened that night and I shed tears all through the night. I was raped by my lover! I was raped by the one I trusted so much! I got back to my hostel and couldn't tell anybody about what happened at Jide's house. I kept shedding tears since I couldn't tell no one. I thought about the mocks that would come from friends and people, the stigma.
I didn't stop bleeding after some days, so I called Jide to inform him about the situation. "Don't ever call me again" that was the only thing Jide said to me on the phone. I couldn't stop the tears from coming down from the eyes, I was cheated on, was taken for granted from the person I loved.

My parents got to know about the bleeding since I couldn't keep it to myself anymore. I told them what happened between Jide and I but Jide denied everything that happened between us when asked by the school authorities. I missed the whole session due to the pain that came from been raped as a Virgin.

Stop RAPE! Men that rape are animals! Take them to Zoo... I had my faults and I regretted them after. Stop RAPE!

February 14

*Sighs* Maybe I shouldn't do this? Will she blame me for not doing this? Oh, I wish my Rachael was here with me. Ok! *Wipes face*.... I think I have to share my story.

"14th of February, 2012"

At about 12:01am, my phone rang, it was Rachael! Wow! I picked up without hesitation and smile written all over my face. We discussed how we were going to see during the day since it was a free day for both of us. Although, we haven't started dating but we knew what we wanted from each other. I planned to ask her to be my lady on February 14 since it was a day of nothing but love. I couldn't sleep, I was looking forward to her visitation, to see her beautiful face, distinct smile and hear her heart smelting voice. I woke up as early as 7am just to clean my house since I was staying alone ( bachelor life, as they say). Everything was set! I called Rachael to know about her movement and she told me she's left home already, wow! I couldn't sit, couldn't concentrate on anything, all I wanted was to be around Rachael and tell her how much I had fallen inlove with her and the most pivotal thing, ask her to be my woman.

After some minutes, my phone rang,it was Rachael, i rushed to the door thinking Rachael was at my door but to my surprise? I didn't see anybody not to talk of Rachael so I decided to call her back "Hello, where are you now? I really can't wait to see you dear..... "Hello, is this kunle? Sorry, the person with this line just had an accident, she's dead.

Dead was the last thing I heard.

"Before February 14"

I met Rachael during my last year in the university. I couldn't keep my eyes off this girl when I saw her in Front of my departmental building. Her beauty captured me like a weak giant, her smile could heal the sick, her body shape? A portrayal of "Perfection". Some weeks later, we became so close! She was a 300level engineering student while I was in my final year ( Masscommunication) department. Rachael possssed everything I have always wanted in a girl, her character/Personality can't be compared to any. Everybody thought we were dating, I thought also but we weren't. Although, we were so close. I was shy to tell Rachael how I felt about her, I didn't want a NO for an answer. I kept complating about her love for me or let me say, my love for her. No doubt, we had a nice time together.

"After February 14"

She died! Rachael died on Valentine's day! A day people see as "Love day". I never told her how much I loved her, how much I cherished her, how much I cared! I was about to but death took her away. A day I was meant to make her smile, make her feel more better and loved. I was shy to express how I felt, I regret I didn't tell her how she changed my life, how she made me love LOVE. "People appreciate people much more when they are gone" I think I did! I never took my chance and I regret not telling the one I loved so much how much I loved her.

Valentine is a special day of showing love to everybody regardless of who they are and what they do. People like me ( Shy to express love) are many out there and they later regret their action when they see that loved person no more. Love is a beautiful thing? No doubt but it must be said, expressed to the right person and at the right time before it becomes too late.

I waited for February 14 not knowing that was the day my Rachael was going to leave and not come back to me again. I regret my silence.

Love someone today, tell him/her how much you love him/her and grow the love. Love is a beautiful gift from God.

WHO IS DONJAZZY?

I had nothing on my mind before I slept yesterday night but surprisingly, I woke up with the question "Who's Donjazzy"? "Could this be a joke or am I just silly this morning?" I asked myself but couldn't get a cogent answer or a reason why the question kept popping up on my mind. I decided to "sleep" so I could forget the thought about Donjazzy but it failed! I couldn't close my eyes not to talk of sleeping so I stood up, picked up my phone and started "Sleep Typing"... 

Who is Donjazzy? 

To be very honest? I know who donjazzy is but I don't even know who he is. Stupid? Surprising? I don't even know! Little or nothing do I really know about Donjazzy but I know him to be very hard working, jovial, humble, kind to people, the timid one....... I think I truly know who Donjazzy is but hey?! I still don't know. ( Laughs ) and HEY! Yes! Donjazzy is a man of Virtue! Ok, to be very honest, what do I know about this man with the name "Michael Collins" but generally known as "Donjazzy". Sometimes before now, I used to wonder how he came across the name or how he formed the name himself. Ok! Imagine I was eating, drinking and I jumped up to say "YES! Call me Donjazzy"! ( Laughss) .... For Michael to form that name? He must have seen what most of us ( fans) didn't see. 

I heard he was once a guard at Mc'Donalds in UK or is it US? *Confused* anyone ( laughs) and I kept wondering at a time why a "Used to be guard" named himself "Donjazzy"... Definitely, I say again, he must have seen or experienced some things that changed his thoughts.

Who exactly is Donjazzy? 

In one word? I will say he's a "BOSS"! Like it or hate it, Michael is a BOSS a.k.a "JAGABAN". I was in jss2 or 3 when I first heard the name "Donjazzy" but I didn't hear it that way but I heard it this way "It's donjazzy again" and I got so attracted with the name and brand. I won't lie to you people, Dbanj made me love the name, brand, personality of DONJAZZY! Consistent "It's Donjazzy Again" made me love the man more and after I heard "Why Me" I became a true and die hard fan of Donjazzy and mohits but.........

Donjazzy has worked with so many talented musicians ( IkeChukwu, Dbanj, Wande coal, Kayswitch etc) and still working with some set of talented ones ( ReekadoBankz, Korede bello, Di'ja, Tiwa Savage, Dprince) and I must say or let me say, we must be honest "He's helped them all to achieve in this music industry"... No doubt, the Mo'hits breakup pained many but moving on was the best thing. Donjazzy might have his flaws but he's still a great man everybody look up to. 

Have you met this man before? ( Reality o, social media o, in your dreams oo) have you? If no then please try because it worth it. The first time I saw donjazzy was in one of my dreams and he showed how humble and kind he is to me via my dream. Donjazzy is a man of virtue! He's a gift! He's a blessing to many souls both known and unknown individuals. 

NOTE::: No matter what you do or who you are, people will definitely hate! 

I followed donjazzy on twitter some years back and ever since? He's showed me many reasons to believe "You can be great, famous, wealthy and still be humble"..... Quickly, let me give a shout out to 2face Idibia and T.W.O ( these people are of the same set #Humility). Michael Collins known as Donjazzy is dripping of Humility. I'm sure if I ask many Nigerians why they like Donjazzy, they might list many reasons but won't ever forget to add "Because he's humble noni". So many scenarios where you expect him to flare up but he won't but rather use words like "Egbon or say Give me my credit" ( Laughs )..... But forgetting those moments? Donjazzy is an humble being! 

Again, who's Donjazzy? 

Jazzy is talented! Oh my G! That big headed man is super talented! Wait! Let me count how many dope beats he's produced, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6..... 80, 81, 83.... No doubt, he's one of the best producers if not the best in Nigeria. His nose and head might be big but common, they aren't big for nothing. Big S/O to banky W too, those guys head BIG! Ok let's go back to Donjazzy. With his fingers, God has blessed so many artistes with awards, recognition, endorsements etc so why won't you give kudos to this man? Don't hate! GIVE KUDOS to him! I'm not saying all these to flatter anybody but when you see a talented one, say it! Have you listened to WandeCoal's "M2M" album? No? Please go back and listen. To me? Donjazzy made his best beats for WandeCoal but what happened after all the time he put? *Coughs* Never mind! 

Another info about Donjazzy? Oh well, he's a blessing to many! Let's talk about helping artistes. He's helped so many youngsters ( the known and unknown, the signed and unsigned). I remember when donjazzy signed Reeky, Korede and Di'ja. I saw it as a waste of time or a way to urgently pay back but the first set of songs from these youngsters didn't go well for me at all. See now? They are doing very well. Reeky bagged "Next Rated", Korede made a jam "Godwin, Romantic" and Di'ja doing fine too. Why some people hate Don is what I don't know. He might have his flaws ( we all have) but then, don't forget everything he's done for the industry and the people of the industry. NO doubt, he's a figure to look up too. "His head is big, I Concur, his nose to big I concur) ... *Laughs*...

Simplicity? You can't take that away from Don! Hear me, you don't have to wear Gold Chains before your fans or anybody knows about how wealthy you are. I have seen Donjazzy many times and I salute his simplicity in all ramifications! This feature? I won't mind stealing it from Don! 

Talk about his social media interaction with his fans? The best! Although, any celebrity can sit behind the so called handle and try to be humble or try to love his fans but common, Donjazzy is exceptional when it comes to chatting with his fans and making them happy. I'm a follower on twitter, facebook and instagram so I know almost everything he's done for people. *Even though I have won most of the things he's shared*.... I'm sure fans like him more because he's one of the few celebrities that gives his fans attention. 

Let me say this before I drop my phone because I'm sleepy... Donjazzy is a very SHY being and the shy person is the boss of one of the best record labels in Nigeria/Africa "Mavin Records" a home to ( Tiwa Savage, Reekadobanks, Korede Bello, Dr sid, Dprince)  Ok! Bye! 

I still don't know who Donjazzy is but I think I do! 

*Drops phone, jumps on bed, covers body*
