encounter with Dbanj on an Arik Air Flight from Enugu to Abuja.
Hear what the guy who identified himself as D-one said:
“At Enugu Airport yesterday, after I had checked in and went to take
a cup of coffee and water inside a restaurant. I had no choice since
Arik had delayed our Abuja flight.
As I was taken my N200 coffee majestically and as if I am the
owner of the airport, I felt the presence of someone at my back. I
looked back, it was Dbanj in Agbada with no cap but with a big
neck chain to match, in company of 2 other guys. I stood up and
greeted him, he took a selfie and I also did and then he went to take
a seat elsewhere, had a similar thing to what I took with some liitle
baked things.
Arik delayed us for one hour and eventually announced boarding
thereafter. Once again, I walked majestically to the economy class
while Dbanj had his seat at the business class. I was lucky to sit in
the next seat after Business class seats. The air hostesses were all
over Dbanj, even took him to the the pilot…….Ori mi wu but what will
I do? E no easy to be a star. I no even get good voice, my voice be
like masquerade own!!!
But I no jealous at all. Dbanj was so humble and too friendly. He
simplified it for everyone, making everybody to feel important.
However, one Igbo woman sat with me, she was complaining
and feeling uncomfortable. “Who is he, is he Michael Jackson??”
LOL.
Immediately we landed(35mins journey), the woman stood up
quickly and went to Dbanj….she asked him “are u dbanj?” “Yes
ma, good day ma..” he replied.
Then the woman went wild…shouting “Dbanj Dbanj, how could you
greet me like that, my last born is older than you if you don’t
know.”….the hostesses tried to caution her……then dbanj looked
back, saw a space, and prostrated for her, “madam I’m very sorry
ma, I don’t mean to be rude.”…..
Do you know that the woman was still raking…”are u not
Yoruba? Yorubas are very respectful and cultured, they don’t
talk to people anyhow, you don’t greet me like that, you know
who I am?” “What do you want from me ma, I said I’m
sorry”…..Dbanj said and quickly departed, the woman wanted to
go but the hostesses politely told her that it is not time for
economy class departure.
Then the woman looked for for trouble once more……she looked
at me and I looked at her, she saw anger in my face….. “and
what’s wrong with you?”, “I just dey pity you madam..” I said.
“Pity who? You don’t insult me because you will regret if you do.
Just try it.”she said. ” I will make sure you don’t sleep with your
family this weekend…If you are not locked up throughout this
weekend…..” I threatened(shakara). The woman kept quiet, a lot of
people were giving me encouraging face.
Now inside the airport bus taking us to departure lounge….. she was
just looking at me, not knowing what will happen.
Nothing happened eventually, I helplessly let go. But really, she
almost made Dbanj feel bad. May God save us from such
people.
