There is no way that version from Amachree would not go unanswered. Amachree, the retired Deputy Director of DSS, had in a very colourful narration in his book told us how the late dictator choked and passed on while on top of a pharmacist. Let me quickly digress o. That “dying” on top of a woman is real o.
Kai, most men have come near that thing o. When you are on top, especially if it’s a light-skinned, full-bodied partner and she is edging you on like a football coach. It is hard to stop even when the harbinger of death looms.
Well, from Amachree’s position, Oga did not know when to stop. The thing was too “sweet”, and from there all the things that Diya and co could not do, this pharmacist succeeded in less than three minutes. She stood up, cleaned up and calmly walked away, ending an era of madness.
Well, Abacha’s supporters have debunked that story, calling it a lie. They deny that Oga could not have gone that way, and for emphasis, have told us many colourful stories of his demise. The one that really caught my attention was the one that said it was through a handshake at the airport when he was seeing off Yasser Arafat. Another said he had liver issues and was already on heavy medication. Yet another one said he didn’t take his asthma inhaler with him and got an attack and passed.
Well, for me, what I have learnt from the whole thing is – no matter how sweet, know when to say enough. Just stand up, greet your partner and catch your breath. Thank you.
