 Chapter Six

On the day of the exam, Salma approaches the examination with confidence, under the impression that it will be an easy one, echoing the sentiments of other students who perceive it as easily manageable, akin to what preachers have told them in places of worship. Unbeknownst to her, the exam has changed, requiring students to study a specific section of the books assigned to them. Meanwhile, Kolawole Abdul, renowned for his academic prowess, and his peers are focused, writing on their answer sheets.

Salma’s attire attracts the invigilator’s attention and causes the invigilator, Dr. Amina, to feel uneasy and harbor negative feelings towards her. Amidst the exam, Kolawole discreetly passes coded answers to Salma, unnoticed by the teacher. Upon her return, Salma was caught by the invigilator and issued an Examination Malpractice (EMAL) form, resulting in a meeting with the Head of Department (HOD), described as benevolent and compassionate. The HOD is the same person with whom she engaged her in a conversation after she claimed she could buy lecturers with money. The case is to be taken to the Exams and Ethics Committee (EMEC)

During the ensuing disciplinary proceedings, Salma, resorting to prayer tinged with frustration, inadvertently implicates Abdul, leading to his expulsion. This action is viewed unfavorably by Omar, while Ummi maintains that adherence to rules is paramount to avoid repercussions. Bint confides in Omar, puzzled by the apparent disconnect between Salma’s relationships and her academic plight.

Chapter Seven

In Chapter Seven, Salma confides in Tomiwa about her predicament, receiving genuine empathy from her. Tomiwa suggests she seeks assistance from Habib Lawal, the Speaker of the House of Assembly, who tells her to seek the face of Dr. Dabo, her once admirer whom she turned down. However, discomfort prompts her to suggest consulting a different authority figure, such as the chairman of the Exams and Ethics Committee, a distinguished professor of biological sciences. In a troubling turn, Habib offers Salma ₦300,000 in exchange for sexual favors.

Salma later meets with an EMEC committee member who introduces her to the chairman, Dr. Kabir Mohammed, at a local hotel. She refuses his advances and opts to negotiate a financial settlement instead, and she ends up paying him ₦100,000 instead of ₦200,000 they had agreed on . However, her realization of the chairman’s fraudulent intentions leaves her distraught, as she grapples with the consequences of her actions.

In the aftermath, Salma recognizes her error in implicating Abdul and reflected on her disillusionment with men, except for her father, whom she regards as an exception amidst a landscape of exploitation.

Chapter Eight

Kabir Mohammed is not a Medical Doctor, rather an LT, a Laboratory Technologist. Described as friendly and approachable, he garners affection from those around him. However, it is noted that he has a particular susceptibility to financial enticements. Despite his amiable demeanor, Kabir is frequently observed to be in a state of moodiness, which presents a paradoxical aspect of his character.

Labaran discloses Kabir’s actions to Habib, who suggests involving Zaki in addressing the situation. However, Habib expresses discomfort with this decision due to Zaki’s previous errors. Zaki is the man who lured Talle into kidnapping.

It is highlighted that Talle deceives villagers between Nigeria and Niger, portraying himself as a prosperous farmer when he is involved in smuggling.

Zaki tracks Kabir to a habitual gambling establishment. Notably, Kabir departed from the venue with ₦300,000, whereas, he came to the venue with less than ₦50,000. The leader of the gambling group, Kartagi, signals a thug named Gumuzu to intervene, leading to a confrontation with Kabir. Zaki intervenes to defuse the situation. Gumuzu is mad at Kartagi for sending another thug against him without knowing Zaki works for Kabir.

Zaki retrieves the money and delivers it to Labaran, who compensates him with ₦50,000 and opts not to inform Habib, presuming the transaction was not an act of benevolence but rather a form of compensation, potentially of a sexual nature.

Omar laments the lack of justice in the world, reflecting on the events unfolding.

Salma reappears eight days following her father’s funeral, eliciting sympathy from those around her. Ngozi questions the haste of their burial practices, to which Salma responds by distinguishing between burying corpses and people, advocating for a swifter resolution to grief.

Salma experiences a behavior change and develops romantic feelings for Salim.

Chapter 9

In this chapter, Ummi tells her children about Salim’s encounter with an odd girl he connected with on a social media platform, amidst his engagement to Salma. Salim bought a phone, the Note Series, and his girlfriend, Salma, encouraged him to enjoy his bachelorhood before marriage caged him.

The chapter unfolds with Salim confiding in Lawal about his interaction with Natasha, an enigmatic figure he met online. Lawal was stunned to learn his friend had gotten another girlfriend despite his plan to marry Salma, but Salim rebuked him with, “Salma is my wife.”

Following their exchanges of contact information, photographs, and affectionate messages, Salim arranges to meet Natasha, adhering to her preference for late-night encounters.

Venturing out around 9:00 PM, Salim heads to meet Natasha, mindful of her stated inability to meet during daylight hours. However, his evening takes a dangerous turn when, on his way back, he finds Natasha waiting near his SUV. Despite being captivated by her beauty, Salim’s encounter is marred by a sudden attack from robbers, narrowly escaping their clutches. It becomes evident that Natasha was complicit in a scheme orchestrated by these criminals to trap and rob him.

Undeterred by this harrowing experience, Salim seeks solace in connecting with another girl through social media, drawn to her perceived beauty. Despite expressing his concerns to Lawal and requesting his company for added security, Salim forges ahead with his plans alone.

Upon meeting the new girl, Salim is met with disappointment as her appearance starkly contrasts with the captivating images he had seen online. Disillusioned by the stark disparity between expectation and reality, Salim returns home disheartened, realizing that the allure of online connections can often mask harsh truths.
