EPISODE 1
LA CASA DEL CONJI: SEGUN
Segun was a cassanova. He was known for his chronic womanising.
Segun had a neighbor named Hauwa.
She was his next door neighbor and only a thin wall divided their rooms.
Most nights, she had stayed awake listening to Segun and his lovers. It was torture for her.
Most mornings, she would just murmur her greetings and pass quickly. She couldnβt look Segun in the eyes.
It was their routine.
One night, Segun was at his usual bedmatics and the whole area was filled with shouts of ecstasy.
Hauwa was reading for a quiz and she heard the first gasp.
βHe just entered this one, they always gasp when he entersβ, she said to herself.
Then the shouts of, βOh Segun, show me shegeβ came on and Hauwa managed to suppress a laugh.
She stopped laughing and began to wonder as she knew the girl in the room to be an Americanna.
βWhatever Segun is doing, he knows it wellβ she thought as it was surprising to hear the Americanna speaking pidgin.
βSegun..segβ¦..ah..ah..mummy, Godβ the Americanna kept muttering gibberish with occasional grunts from Segun and a fast clapping sound.
Hauwaβs curiosity reached itβs peak.
She wanted to see.
Hauwa quietly opened her door and was surprised to see Ngozi, her neighbor, outside.
Ngozi was pretending to read a book but you could tell from her eyes that her attention was elsewhere.
Her eyes were shut and it appeared one of her hands was below her reading table. Hauwa understood and went back inside.
βThe rate of conji in this town is alarming walahaiβ she said in shock.
Images of Ngozi, eyes all shut, biting lips and βreadingβ was just too much for one night. On top of everything, Segun was going strong and the lady was louder than speakers in clubs.
Plugging in her earpods, Hauwa played music and hoped for sleep.
LA CASA DEL CONJI: SEGUN 2
βDing ding ding dingβ
Hauwaβs alarm roused her to life. The time was 7:30am. She had her quiz by 8:00am.
She hissed and cussed Segun. Dressing as quickly as she could she rushed out to the junction with hopes of boarding a Keke.
Segun was at the junction too waiting for a Keke as well. One came and Segun flagged it. He boarded and Hauwa reluctantly joined.
βHauwa good morning, your eyes are quite heavy and your face is dull, you didnβt sleep well abi?β Segun said.
βI was reading through out the night for a quizβ
βEyaa, I was also reading for a quiz as well but that was from 3amβ
Segun said and Hauwa looked at him for the first time but he was looking ahead.
She felt insulted and she wanted to blurt out her anger but kept calm.
Hauwa noticed how he looked at girls as the keke sped towards school. He had this glint in his eyes whenever he saw a girl with a big behind.
They got to school and he paid for both their fares and wished her luck and walked away.
She saw how his coursemates crowded him.
βGuy see when you dey show, I no want find you inside hall, this quiz go hard die, na you be my hopeβ
One of them said.
Hauwa was shocked because Segun didnβt strike her as someone who was intelligent.
She shrugged and found her way to class.

[3:30pm]
βNgozi, ngozi chai, itβs like you had a quiz today abi? I saw how you were reading seriously last nightβ
Hauwa said with a straight face to Ngozi who just smiled and talked about university stress and wicked lecturers.
Hauwa playfully slumped on her bed and thought of what to eat.
She had some rice but in her rush she forgot to warm it.
She just lay there as she knew the rice was far gone to even check.
βE no go better for Segunβ
She cussed her ceiling.
She remembered when Segun bought a carton of noodles some days back and she marched to his room.
She knocked on his door and a lady opened and eyed her wickedly.
