I borrowed a friend the first car i ever bought, he was going to Mowe to visit his mum. I remember dropping the car for him at 7up bus stop on that Thursday morning while i took a bus straight to the office on the island. He promised to be back in the evening but I didn’t see.. https://twitter.com/saleem_papi/status/1246215063125532674

...him. I had earlier called his number around 5pm and he said he’s just leaving his mum side but till 9pm, I didn’t see him. I kept calling his number but it’s switched off now.
By Friday, his number still didn’t go through only to get a call from his dad on Saturday...

...afternoon that I should come to Surulere. I rushed to Surulere in short and slippers as my car was on my mind only to be taken to the hospital where i saw my friend getting intensive treatment. It was a gory scene, I know my car is bad already but i want my friend normal...

...he turned his head, looked at me and tears started streaming from his disfigured face already, he gestured for me to come closer and i did. He couldn’t talk. I was crying, he was crying, his dad was crying.
They took me to a compound where i saw my car, it was folded...

...like akara.
The car I bought 4 months ago in same 2019...eeya.

I told his dad to sell the scrap and add it to his medical bills. We had a small prayer at the hospital before i went home only to be called on Sunday that Seyi died.

I cried bitterly, my dear friend.

...his dad eventually sold the scrap and instead of spending it on anything, he sent it to me.

It would have been a year in March that I bought the car but we thank God for life.

Seyi RIP
