thankfully, I’m not writing this from my cell block cos I was found not guilty and all charges have been dropped. But to think that things could have gone south.

like:

what if I didn’t have these people to thank for convincing the judge I’ve been a good boy? (https://jollofwrite.substack.com/p/coming-soon) you’ll probably never hear from me again and think I broke up with you without saying a word.

except I luckily have an inmate who sneaked in a phone I could borrow to write to you every week.

you’ll eat this Jollof-Write every week without the slightest idea I’m cooking from jail.

back to reality, no one is going to jail.this isn’t the first time I’ll get falsely accused. The other day it was Okiki telling the world how I sneaked into her room, without her permission (https://jollofwrite.substack.com/p/1-minute-please-you-were-in-my-room)

this time around Ella (the 16-year-old) accused me of killing something so precious to her.

If you listened (the audio) to her statement here’s what got her triggered:

“Today’s Jollof-Write is a bit bitter, but sometimes life throws us lemons and the best thing to do is to just (forget about making lemonades) suck all the meaning that’s left.”

but who would think a statement I made in what i wrote about my late uncle (https://jollofwrite.substack.com/p/hes-gne-so-what-now ) would be used by Ella (now ex-friend)—to haunt me? Like, really?

anyway, I’m good and without waking up to iron bars in front of me. We’d talk soon.

cheers to the weekend. have fun, avoid friends like Ella, and do imaginable things. okay?
