Side chic wahala

I posted this on facebook

 This a them say them say story

A friend told me this about her friend, Mary (not real name) who is also her flatmate.

Mary works at a firm. Her closest colleague is Fred. Fred is married to a young graduate who is not yet employed. They have a six month old son.

Their nature of their job ensures they travel to neighbouring states. Because Mary and Fred stay in the same office at work and travel together a lot, they became good friends.

Mary is a beautiful 26 year old single lady.
The friendship with Fred is such that whenever he hangs out with his colleagues at work, Mary comes along not as his partner, but as a colleague.

Fred has never visited Mary in her apartment but on two occasions, Mary has visited Fred's family.

 He introduced her as his colleague and good friend from work. The wife was comfortable with the friendship but recently she began to express so much concern over it.

She got my friend's contact and began to plead with her to beg Mary to leave her husband alone. From what my friend knows, the relationship is platonic.

Mary has a boyfriend and they have started making plans for their marriage.

She and Fred have worked together for three years.  He met and married his wife while knowing Mary.  Mary was in a relationship already that so he couldn't ask her out.  The relationship failed and she got into another.

My friend says Mary is a very open and straightforward person. She talks about her boyfriend with Fred.  She has not as much as hugged Fred since he got married.  

What they have going on is a smooth working relationship but the wife has refused to understand.

She has resorted to threats.  She promised to report Mary to the Manager and pour acid on her if she doesn't  leave her husband alone.

From all indications,  Fred likes Mary and cites her opinions sometimes  during discussions and arguments with his wife.  Mary is a smart lady so it is not surprising  that she brings up sound opinions.  They still travel together and share the same office.

Now Fred's wife is troubled. She thinks Mary is out to destroy her marriage. She came to the neighbourhood to insult Mary few days ago.  Mary does not understand the situation.

She is traumatised. She enjoys her job.  She doesn't want to lose it. She has put four years of her life into the job.

Everyone thinks she is a husband snatcher and a home breaker.  She sees the looks they give her when she passes on her way.

Mary has been named a side chic by the world.

What can be done to salvage Mary's name and Fred's marriage?

GLOBACOM SHUTS UNEC DOWN WITH TIMAYA, MI AND RUNTOWN, DJNEPTUNE AND DJLAMBO

Last night is a night that will not be forgotten in  hurry at the  University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus as Globacom ended its week long mouth watering Campus Data Bundle campaign tagged 'Glo campus storm' with an enveloping event which brought down A list artistes such as Timaya, MI and Runtown to the white house of the prestigious institution. Yours truly was there and brings you reports! The event was slated to start by 4pm although it later started much later that night due to problems with the generator which was to be used to power the auditorium and other equipments for the event. Many students left for emergency night class in the few opened classes like Abuja auditorium and Coscharis building. Luck however was on the side of the patient students who were already murmuring that the show was a scam, when PHCN restored power supply around 11pm. Immediately the power was restored, all the students including those who left for till day break studying returned and the a...

CRUSH ISSUES

I was standing by a corner of the road awaiting any oncoming tricycle (keke) to halt. "Mummy will kill me today. How did I forget to look at my wristwatch?", I wondered aloud as I searched my head for any sugar coated excuse to give her for staying out so late. "Hello". Excuse me", a strong and smooth voice behind me said. I ignored the voice. Hello, please excuse me".The voice repeated and seemed to draw closer. I turned around. My eyes couldn't believe who I saw so I quickly looked away. "I'm sorry to bother you but I couldn't help but notice you alot in there". The voice called again. It was Kiss Danel. Yes, Kiss Daniel. The celebrity. The Woju crooner. My all time celebrity crush.He was the one seeking my attention. Wonders shall never end.  Kiss was the guest artiste at the event I had just attended at African cultural centre, Kano.Throughout the event, I noticed he kept looking at me or maybe in my direction but I wade...

The Error of 'Don't you Know you are a Girl? '

Part 1 Dear Society, When you want to correct a female going wrong, especially a child,  do not remind her that she is a girl. Do not tell her to stop because she is a girl. Tell her to stop and change because her actions are wrong. When she wears a skirt and sits with her legs wide open,  tell her to close them because it is wrong to sit with your undies exposed. When she talks arrogantly,  correct her because it is wrong to speak that way. Don't tell her to be polite because girls should be. Sensible humans are polite. Politeness is not gender specific. When she dresses indecently,  correct the wrongness of the dressing. Don't make it about her gender. Decency doesn't apply to one gender. When she is unable to cook at 18, remind her that it is only reasonable for an adult to be capable of making food for his/her survival. No gender needs the skill more. When she rides her car in a rough manner,  remind her that wrong driving has sent many to their...
