:::::: MY ENCOUNTER WITH TIDJANI ARMANI ::::: By Dimeji Alara

Hmm you are about to read a very funny article. It was on a Christmas eve, year
2002, in Cotonou were I reside, I was out of money and that made everything worse. Things get really dry and bored in this country (Benin, Cotonou).
A friend came to my house, she`s a very funny girl (a Nigerian-Hausa), and no matter how down you are, when she's around, you must laugh. I use to tell her to look for a comedy to feature in. And she really likes adventures, when she's around things always seem to happen, always full of funny ideas. She was also out of money. So we were both out of money I thought. I told her "omo I dey broke o wetin we go do?" She decided we should stroll down to my ex-girlfriend's house, she was a very good friend to my ex,and had tried at many times to settle the problem between us but it wasn't possible for her, let me not go into details about this much cause its my private life. But we (I and my ex) are still very good friends. We got there (to my ex`s house), maybe we would get some dough, but still couldn't scrape anything from her, she's a very stingy girl, ahahahah, let her not read this o, and we left my ex-girlfriend's house after twenty minutes.
She then came up with a very funny idea that I found very stupid, but there was nothing I could do, I was really desperate to get something into my pocket for Christmas. "me I go begin go house o I don tire for all these insult wey peson dey receive sef".She came up with the story of one rich man according to her, who stays in her area, "Dimeji, this guy is loaded!" she exclaimed. I asked if she knows the man personally, but she didn't. Then what are you insinuating" I asked, she then reply, "lets try him". I asked again with great anticipation in my voice, "try what?" I asked, "obtain him" she replied. This is not the first time she will becoming up with such funny ideas, so it didn't surprise me much, but, what she was insinuating was very stupid. I began to think if she's gone insane. "some of my friends told me one day they were just passing in front of his house and branched to tell him to admire his house and he gave them enough money" she added. That gingered me up a little.
We then hustled for some money, to buy some fuel into my car to get to her house. The fuel in the car was so little that it could only take us to her house and not take me back home. At a point I began to think if it could even to us to her house. We then got to her house, I felt a bit better that the car didn't stop on our way to her house. We spent some minutes in her house and even within those minutes, she kept reminding me "Dimeji no forget o, we go still go that place o", she kept reminding till it was time to go to the man's house. My mind was already beating fast, I felt goose bumps on my skin, hmmm that is the sign of fear, I told myself.
I met myself in front of a gate and a beautiful house. We didn't even know the name of the man we are looking for. There were more than seven exotic cars parked outside, ranging from an SLK,BMW,just name it, the cars were parked outside maybe because there was no more space in the compound I thought, I was even ashamed of the my car with all those car parked outside, and I was there with a Volkswagen golf. We met three men at the gate, two men wearing security uniforms and the third one wasn't in uniform. We told them we wanted to see their boss, they asked for his name, but as we didn't know his name we kept telling them we want to see the owner of the house. The man in mufti went in and came out after few seconds, then ushered us into the compound, which was filled with cars, this man must really love cars I thought, my friend was already getting scared as we stood and the compound, looking at the flit of cars. Finally a tall man appeared in front of us, the man is a bit light in complexion, and was putting on a nice smile on his face, that cooled me down a bit. "Je peut vous aidez?"the man asked with a very soft voice, he was speaking French, he meant "can I help you?" but we(I and my friend)both replied in English, the man decided he will prefer to speak French cause he's not really fluent in English. My friend couldn't speak French but I could speak French, I felt like a very big load was placed on me, so I was going to do all the talking and my friend will just stand like a zombie and do nothing. I began to speak to him in French. I told him we were just passing by when we decided to pop in and say Merry christams.He smiled at us, dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out money, hmmm enough money and hmm let me not say how much he gave us. We finally left the place, happy singing in the car. I filled my tank before I went back home.
Then around September 2003 I later found out that, the man who gave us money is the man involved in the ongoing controversy with our president Olusegun Obasanjo, he is the man called TIDJANI ARMANI.
