However, I couldn’t stay angry because the guy could talk his way out of anything. He just knew how to diffuse people’s anger…he was the go to guy, when we had irate customers at the branch.
The funny thing for me was how Tokunbo always talked about the closeness between herself and Folahan but she had no idea we worked at the same place. “Folahan this…Folahan that…Folahan is so funny…Folahan is so deep spiritually”. I would just smile and face whatever I was doing.
Tokunbo found out which church Folahan would be attending and decided that’s her church as well…although it was almost 45 minutes from where we lived Folahan invited me severally to his church but I couldn’t attend…if you met Tokunbo, you wouldn’t attend either. There was a time the church had a program that I really wanted to attend…the guest minister was the author of a book Bro Charles gave me when I became a believer and it would have been nice to sit under the man’s ministration. I even showed interest when Folahan gave me the flyer but it quickly changed to reluctance…he wanted to know the reason but I couldn’t tell him it was because of his ‘secret lover’.
In Tokunbo’s mind, she was already married to Folahan and would fight any known female that tried to be close to him.I was riding with our manager one day and he said
“What’s your deal with Folahan?He’s a good guy and a child of God
He’s good looking and has a bright future
He’s so crazy about you that everyone can see it
Or are you betrothed to someone else?
I don’t see a ring on your finger and I’ve never heard you talk to anyone else on your phone except your mum.
I just want you to know that there are times God orchestrates things to execute His plan but we still need to align ourselves with it”
I was surprised because I wasn’t expecting him to get that involved in my personal life. I smiled but didn’t give an answer.
My birthday came and Folahan insisted on taking me out for lunch, our Oga gave us one extra hour for lunch…I had no excuse so I went. I could see the exciting look on the manager’s face as we walked through the back door.
It was not a regular lunch outing. Folahan handled it like the chance of a lifetime…he went right for the jugular and didn’t mince words.
