EPISODE 27 \u2013 He No Want Lose Control<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lagos was restless that evening, but I had a plan. My small catering business had grown enough to attract a customer willing to give me a small contract. I felt pride bubbling inside me \u2014 a taste of independence I hadn\u2019t felt in months.<\/p>\n

But freedom in Lagos is never simple.<\/p>\n

That night, as I returned from delivering food, I noticed a black car parked unusually close to my usual route. My stomach sank. I slowed down, pretending to check my phone, heart pounding.<\/p>\n

Before I could turn, I felt his hand on my shoulder. Calm, smooth, but heavy \u2014 the kind of presence that presses down on your chest.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere you dey go so late? You dey hide something from me?\u201d<\/em> he asked, his voice soft but sharp, a velvet blade.<\/p>\n

I tried to stay calm, hiding my terror behind a forced smile. \u201cNa just small errand, I go home now,\u201d<\/em> I lied.<\/p>\n

But he didn\u2019t let go. He followed me back to the room, eyes never leaving mine. His threats were no longer subtle.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou no fit leave me. You dey mine. Nobody go care for you like I dey care. If you try run, wahala go follow you for Lagos. You sabi am.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The words hit me like stones. I had tried to sneak independence, even a little, but he saw everything. My small victories felt fragile under his shadow.<\/p>\n

That night, as I lay in my bed, the fear settled back like a heavy blanket. But anger stirred underneath it. I realized that fear alone would not protect me. I needed strategy, patience, and more preparation. I couldn\u2019t fight him blindly.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou no go control me forever,\u201d<\/em> I whispered to myself, the words barely audible, but my heart believed them.<\/p>\n
