AsaroPhobia --- The fear of Asari...

Haba! You too like food. Ehn Ehn? I know you understand what phobia means but why are you trying to link the “Asaro” prefix with Asaro (Yoruba word for Yam Porridge).   Asaro ko, Pounded-yam ni. Abeg hear me out first. It’s one of my most shocking experiences in this week. Thank God I am alive to share the story.

Did I tell you that the man you have always watched in videos and read about in papers came to my masjid to pray Jummah yesterday? He is that guy that spits fire and the one-man battalion whom many are afraid of. He is a fine boy with no pimples, I'm not making this up..Like, seriously. I never noticed he was around as I just decided to mind my business.

When we finished the prayer, I proceeded to salute the Imam for a fantastic Jummah presentation. The Imam is an outstanding orator who has a good grasp of Yoruba, Arabic and English. I’m always lifted high with his sermons. As I reached the door, a huge man was the one just coming out. The man humbly stretched his hand and said "Assalamu alaykum!". I responded as necessary, "Walaykum Salam!". I almost got carried away with the softness of his palm.

I swear, this guy's hand is sooooo soft that I thought I was holding a freshly-baked Agege Bread. I looked up and I saw his huge chocolate body, looking fresh. Lo and behold, I was holding hands with Alhaji Mujahid Asari Dokubo, formerly Melford Dokubo Goodhead Jr. Omo, I was glued to the spot! I no go lie, fear catch me small. He added, as if he knew me before, "How is work and family?". I said, "We thank God"...(*Let me cut out the rest of the conversation*).

I don’t really know what actually got him interested about me. Probably it was my native Yoruba dressing. I actually “wasted” the woven cap. It’s one of the caps I inherited from my mentor, Chris Uwaje of Africa. I am still feeling thrilled with the humility of this man, I compared those videos with the Asari I just met and I can't understand why he isn't for‪#‎ANewNigeria. Abi na camouflage? I am posting this so you know about it before you see it on TV. NOW, don't call me a MEND guy ooo! I don't know anything about ‪#‎MEND ooo! Na beg I dey beg ooo!

Although I was caught by little AsaroPhobia (Fear of Asari), I am 100% for ‪#‎Change. I never decamp ooo. My brother no dey inside this ‪#‎FeBUHARI ‪#‎ValentineElection ooo. It's our Nigeria, let's take it back...
