Yesterday, I was walking around Tekan and I landed on a beautiful woman seating in some corridor

with headsets covering both her ears singing a love with a very melodious voice.

As she sang, her lips moved like Beyonce. "What a beautiful woman with a sweet voice? If I could

hear this voice singing in my ears every morning, then my days could be a heaven on earth." I said to

myself.

Her eyes were closed as she sang as if there are no problems in this country. The girl's voice

triggered my soul with no gun. I guess the reason for her closing eyes, was to avoid distractions but I

needed to get her attention and talk to her. I quickly remembered some motivational speaker's quote,

"you are what you imagine."

So, I just imagined I am a music icon.... that is hard because I know nothing in music.

I started walking her direction and coughed. She opened her eyes noticing my presence. I approached

and applauded that she has beautiful voice just like herself. Before she could respond I jokingly

said , "you need to clear your voice with Doh, Reh, Mi, Fah, Soh, Lah, Ti, Doh then you go

backwards Doh, Ti, La, Soh, Fa, Mi, Reh, Doh."

She was excited and a asked me, "do you do music?" I answered, “yes, I am a music coach.” She

was seemingly happy from her smile.

“I have already won her heart. I am the ‘baddest’ guy in town.” I said to myself.

She told me that she is an Artiste, she does blues genre of music. She was just doing voice training

for her stage performance at Silver Springs Hotel later in the night.

I said “wow! That’s nice. I am also a multi-instrumentalist. I play guitar and keyboard.” She was

impressed. I just lied to get her attention little did I know that my village people are ready to finish

me.

She invited me for the party she was to perform live and I as the bad guy, followed her praying

myself that my tactics don't fail as I did not only win her heart, but also got invited for a party.
We got to the party and it was her time to perform. She got to the stage, introduced herself and said,

"today I will be performing with my friend. He is a very talented singer and a multi-instrumentalist. I

will be doing the singing while he plays the guitar."

We had not rehearsed together before coming, please put your hands together as my friend Brian

joins me on the stage. I was clapping hard like others thinking there is another friend of hers called

Brian not knowing I was the Brian that is a very ‘talented’ singer and a multi-instrumentalist that was

going to be on guitar. We clapped for about five minutes and we didn't see any Brian on the stage

joining her. So, she came down the stage and told me that I am the Brian and I should follow her on

the stage and play the guitar.

"Me? Are you for real?" That is when the lies I told her earlier that I am a music coach and a multi-

instrumentalist dawned me down like Enaga. My God! What kind of embarrassment am I in for

today? I have never played any guitar in my life and it's already late for me to tell her that I lied and I

am just a Comedian and I know nothing in music.

On stage, she told me to go for the guitar, that we shall be performing Suzanna by Sauti Sol.

I stood staring at the guitar wondering why some strings were bigger than others. I could sense from

the audience that they were expecting much from us. The girl told me to start, she and that I should

solo the song. Did I even know what "solo" means? How I wished this girl knew that I was lying and

save me from the embarrassment but my village people had sworn to embarrass me that day.

The crowd waited for about 15 minutes and nothing happened. The girl was like, "Brian start! My

voice is on C major." I looked for where C major was written on the strings but I didn't see. I

summoned courage and touched the last string and it sounded "ting". God I am finished. How can

this ting be transformed to Sauti Sol's Suzanna? I touched another string and it sounded "puuuu" like

a car horn and the lady seemed worried shouted, " Brian be serious." and I touched the first string on

top and it sounded "meeeeoooow" like a cat. The girl got angry and left the stage for me. I was
sweating and shaking thinking of the next string to touch when four strong men with abs, pounced

chests and arms came and carried me out with uncountable number of slaps.

I immediately jumped out of the bed only to realize that I was asleep. Thank God it was just a dream.

What were you thinking before? Personally, don’t have time, I won't try such a thing in real life.
