I was brushing in front of the face-me-and-face-you apartment my family and I were living at that time, when Iya Timo rushed out unclad. She was sweating all over. With some drops of sperm on her thigh and pussy hair. She said she was in problem, the man she brought home...

...had contracted "Magun".

Her shout and cry woke everyone in the neighbourhood. The passerby joined in too. They were mostly those traders going to Olode market. And before I could spat out the foamy paste formed in my mouth, the whole compound had filled with legs.

Some guys at this point had rushed inside Iya Timo's room to bring out the man in question. It was with great struggle as he kept on saying "Mo fe mu mi",which literally means "I want to drink water"

Some people were saying he should be given the water, perhaps he's only thirsty

Others, esp the elders, were saying no one should—he must have contracted "Magun Olomi",("Water thunderbolt"), and the more he took the water the more he asked for more. And the more he asked for more, the more he'd be filled. And the more he's filled, the closer he got to dying.

I, for one, was lost. I didn't understand the whole concept. What's "Magun"? And how the hell did that relate to a man sincerely asking for water? But I was young to ask. And even if I was going to ask, I was not sure that moment was the right time, because everyone is obviously

busy.

Some friends of Iya Timo were trying to cover her with a wrapper, but she was just rolling on the floor, and frustrating all their efforts.

I could see Akin at the other end. He was obviously enjoying his time. He was beaten last week by his dad when Iya Timo...

....came to report him to his dad that he was peeping at her nakedness while she was having her bath in the bathroom the whole compound shared. The bathroom was built with some sets of roofing sheets, and only enclosed with one wrapper that had become torn over the time.

Iya Timo had said Akin saw her pussy, but Akin in his defense said it was only the breasts he saw and it was an accident. It was Iya Timo who opened up the bathroom enclosing cloth on him while he was passing by innocently.

That was just last week.

And it's funny Iya Timo was giving him the chance to see the same pussy he said he didn't get to see now. And not just even the pussy alone, but the clit, the pussy lips, the hole, and all, as Iya Timo would not stop opening up her legs at regular interval for her spectators.

The man in question was a man I knew. He was here three weeks ago. I had gone to buy a bottle of palm oil for my mum that afternoon from Iya Timo when I opened up on them. They were having sex, and it took them 5mins for them to realise I was in the room.

I never saw people had sex before, so when I saw the man on top of Iya Timo with his hands on Iya Timo's neck, I thought he wanted to strangle her. It was only when I saw how his dick was entering Iya Timo's pussy back and forth that I realised it was something else.

Iya Timo had warned me that day never to tell anyone what I saw, and her threatening eyes had made me shut up my mouth till now.

Now here was the man. Shouting on top of his voice that he needed water. And when no one was answering him, he kept struggling with the boys that

Were holding him down like a mad man fighting to get loose.

He was naked too. His dick looked so thick and fat. The scrotum were like old sacks. And his balls were obviously revealing inside them. They were big also. It was like the ones Ladi, the mad man on the street, had.

His eyes were becoming more reddish, and his muscles had come out due to too much struggle with the boys.

Someone was suggesting that they gave him water, cus he might soon be biting those that held him down. So they did. They gave him 5 litre keg of water, but he kept asking

...for more.

Another person asked that Iya Timo's husband be called. He must know about it. He was the one who planted the Magun on his wife, so he should come and give the dying man its antidote. After all, it's open now to everyone that his wife was an adulteress.

Someone observed he saw him at Mama Yale's shop a while before. He must still be there, so they should go there instead.

Before time, Baba Timo was already at the scene. He came on bike, but the crowd would not even allow him to pay the bike man before they started begging..

...him to have mercy on his wife and the dying man.

He was offered a chair which he sat on amidst the circling crowd, watching his wife and the man. He kept mute for sometime but kept shaking his head repeatedly. When he finally opened his mouth it was "You!" that came out,

pointing to his wife.

"You! Ah! O gah o." He said amidst "E sha ma binu" (Pls don't be angry), that rent the air from the crowd.

All the women in the neighbourhood had knelt before him by this time, each giving him the reason he had to have mercy on the dying man.

One said it's not the man that was to be blamed but his wife. She was the one with covetous eyes. The one who could not close her legs. The ashawo! The one with big dog clit!

An elderly woman gave Iya Timo a resounding slap, and asked that she moved close to her husband..

....and beg him.

She did. She crawled towards Baba Timo and held him by the leg to beg him, but that one only kicked her violently with the leg. Her back fell on the ground, and the wrapper she was just given got loose.Some guys seized the opportunity to feast their eyes again.

Baba Timo was now behaving like a king. Everyone was busy begging him and he was really enjoying the attention.

But when Iya Yale came in to beg him, he succumbed and entered his room to bring out the antidote.

Iya Yale was the street local gin seller.

She also offered extra service too. Rumour had it that she usually provided single mothers the opportunity to make money through her business. They were the "extra services". Once a man bought a local gin from Iya Yale, he could test the potency of the gin on any of the women,

if he had the money, by fucking them. Everyone hated her ways in the neighbourhood, but today she was the angel.

Baba Timo finally came out with the antidote. It was a blackish medicine inside one small bottle. He sat on the chair again and asked that they brought the man to him

But just before they could drag the man to where he was, Baba Timo stood up from the chair and asked that people create him some space, he would like to do some stunts. We all did. Then he carried out a summersault and people cheered. He staggered and said he would go again.

Everyone was confused as to what was going on, but they asked him to go ahead, and he did, amidst cheering crowd. But when he said he wanted to summersault the third time, Iya Yele held him, and asked everyone to help her stop him from carrying out the stunt.

We were all surprised, and was asking one another what was going on. An Igbo corps member told Mama Yale he didn't care whatever Mama Yale had going on, he was enjoying the show, and she should give the man the chance to show his skills. But Mama Yale held him still.

By this time it was a big struggle between Baba Timo and Mama Yale, as he was vehemently asking that he summersaulted the last time. Everyone pleaded with Mama Yale to leave the young man alone. But she would not have it. Somebody asked that Mama Yale explained us then what was

going on. It was tears that she started shedding instead. She said she's not sure Baba Yale had not contracted Magun through her—he had come to her shop to take erection gin that morning, and asked that she gave her one of her girls to test it on. None of them was around yet.

So she had slept with him instead. But with the way things were going she was not sure Baba Yale had not carried out his usual threat that he was going to lace her with Magun. Perhaps that was the reason Baba Timo was carrying out the stunt. People should pls come to her aid.

He must not carry out the last stunt.

A general echo of "Ahhh!! What is this now" rent the air from the crowd. Everyone rushed down to stop Baba Timo from carrying out the summersault. But they couldn't stop him. The magun he contracted was Ako Magun (a very potent one).

He overpowered them all and died immediately. It was a great scene with rancorous tears.

A man from the crowd later took the antidote that had fallen on the floor and gave it to the former man that was still being held by some boys. He calmed down immediately after taking it.

That was in 2009 in a street called Sagan in Modakeke.

Rumour has it that Iya Timo and the man that contracted Water Magun have run off together to a far away town, and have got married there with two kids.

After script:

Magun is a Yoruba charm usually placed by men on their promiscuous wife to inflict some pains on their wife's concubine. These pains vary. It could be to instantly kill the man, or make his dick glue to the woman's pussy. If it was the former, it comes in various

forms as well. It could be water magun, or summersaulting magun, or cockcrow magun, etc.

Once it is placed on a woman, she must see a man to lay with her before seven days else she dies. It is a very barbaric act and it should never be a thing to propagate in this era.

The story above happened in 2009. But did not really happen like that. I only twisted it a bit to bring about an obvious point. I hope you get the point, and I hope you enjoy the story. One love
