Brother Seun (A Bankole Banjo Flash fiction)


She was on her knees, tears welled up in her eyes.

“I am tired, Daddy. I want out.”

“No no my daughter. It is against the Word.”

“Daddy, which Word? Ehn, which Word? Seun wan kill me.”

“Kill bawo? Ki lo se?”

“Daddy GO, o se bebe. Seun wants it every day. Na food?”

“Ah. Every day? Ehn but you have to oblige him. You are his lawfully wedded wife and must deliver at will!”

“Ah Daddy. Not this one. I used to like it every day too. Until he started asking for more.”

“More? I don’t understand. He wants to do more?”

“Yes Daddy. More. Not more in the normal place o. More in that second place.”

“What second place?”

“What more, my daughter?”

She looked up and sized her pastor up. He never heard of the new fad amongst Lagos married men?

“Daddy, you don’t know?”

“Please tell me so we know how to tackle this.”

“Daddy, er, er, Seun wants it in my other hole.”

“Blood of Jesus!”

“Oh oh!”

“But that’s so dirty. Why would Brother Seun want that? Where did he learn that from? Surely not from the Songs of Solomon.”

“Daddy, I just want out. I’m not doing again.”

“Ah. Eleyi lagbara o. Brother Seun?”

“Sir!” He answered from the doorway where he had been listening all the while.

She staggered onto her feet and wiped her face.

“Yes sir, you called me.”

“Ah. So you are here.”

“Uhh. So what do you want to do Daddy?”

“Are you saying it is true?”

“Very true Sir.”

“Jesus Christ of Nazareth.”

“She wants out abi? Please let her go. I release her.”

“Because of anal sex?”

“Abi? Is it your sex?”

“Ah! The devil is a liar.”
