Tribalism (ep3) - by Leeyah Jots

Moyin was no longer the same person Ife used to know. The once jovial girl who was always nice to people had changed, and Ife couldn't understand what was happening to her. At first, Ife didn't know what to make of Moyin's behaviour. She noticed that something was wrong, but she had no idea what her boyfriend's sister was going through. When she eventually spoke to Shola about it, he explained that Moyin had lost a longtime friend and was still struggling with the loss. Ife believed him. She had no idea that the friend Moyin was mourning was Ahmad, or that Shola was the reason he was dead. But as time went on, things between the two women became increasingly difficult. Moyin started frustrating Ife, and they began fighting frequently. Ife couldn't understand why Moyin was treating her that way, especially when she hadn't known what was behind the sudden change in her behaviour. Their relationship became increasingly hostile, and the tension in the house kept growing. But Moyin was carrying a secret that was becoming harder for her to live with. She had lost Ahmad, yet she was expected to protect the brother who had taken him away from her Every day, she had to live with what happened at that picnic, while Shola continued his relationship with Ife as though nothing had happened. Eventually, Moyin could no longer keep quiet. She threatened to report Shola to the police and tell them the truth about Ahmad's death. For Shola, this was a serious problem. He knew what would happen if Moyin exposed him, so he began making promises to her, promising her the world in an attempt to keep her silent. But Moyin wasn't satisfied with his promises. She was tired of watching him carry on with his life while she was left to deal with the consequences of his actions. Then she gave him an ultimatum. It was either she left, or Ife left. Omo. Things were getting out of hand. 😭 Shola was now caught between his sister, who knew the truth about Ahmad's death, and the woman he loved. But instead of taking responsibility for what he had done, the situation took an even more disturbing turn. Shola and Ife presented Moyin with poison and a knife. They forced her into an impossible choice: she could poison Shola, or she could kill him with the knife. Their reasoning was that whichever option she chose, she would have to explain to his unborn child that the child's father had been killed by his own sister. Imagine being put in that position by your own family. Moyin had already lost Ahmad because of Shola. Now, she was being pushed towards another terrible decision, one that could leave her carrying even more guilt and pain. The situation had gone far beyond a family disagreement. A young woman who was already struggling with grief was now being forced to choose between two horrifying options involving her own brother. And the unborn child was being brought into the middle of it all ( ife and shola's kid ) How did things get this bad? Shola had wanted Moyin to keep one secret, but his attempts to control the situation had only made everything worse. And with the tension reaching its peak, nobody could tell what would happen next. But while all this was happening, another unexpected problem was about to change Shola and Ife's lives. Ife began experiencing stomach pain. Shola would have to rush her to the hospital. Neither of them knew what awaited them after that. To be continued…
