Chapter 2: Chief Olumide—The Man Wey Dey Shake Lagos

When the system bring me enter, the villain—whose existence dey shake the whole world line—already reach 34 years, and e get one pikin about ten years old.

You know say for Naija, once person get money, everywhere go dey buzz with gist about am. Even your mama for market go sabi the man gist.

When I wake up, I no remember anything. My head just blank like say na juju work.

I fit swear say na jazz, but the system just dey talk say e normal.

All I sabi na say my name be Ifunanya, and I dey 23 years old.

The system just drop am like Bible verse—no joy inside.

Na so system tell me.

Apart from that, the system warn me tire say the villain dangerous, beg me make I no end like the last strategists—dem wey land and kpai sharp sharp.

Omo, even Okada for Ajegunle no dey disappear like that. Dead on arrival, na the system style be that?

The system say the villain name na Chief Olumide Ajayi, man wey get both money and power for this world.

Omo, "Chief" no be for play. Any party wey he enter, everybody dey salute. Na real ogbonge chief.

E wicked, e get mind, na real beast wey just dey control himself small. The only thing wey still make am human, maybe na the small boy wey be him son.

For Yoruba land, dem dey talk say, "Ọmọ ló ń jẹ k'àgbà má bínú."—na pikin dey calm papa heart sometimes.

I look myself for mirror well, then whisper, “I no see anything special for my body wey go make that villain look me twice.”

My face nor even get that 'yellow sisi' charm wey dey scatter man eye, na so my mind dey reason am.

The system quiet small, then e talk with serious voice, “You be the last hope. If even you no fit—”

E just stop there, then say, “No worry, you go fit.”

E come be like say system dey use church mind dey ginger me, but my spirit no dey gree at all.
