A Done Deal.
It was no secret that Shurrah and I were together. There was no point trying to hide anything in that place when the Alhaj's men were everywhere at all times. I really did not care anyway, I was in love for the first time and it was beautiful. Shurrah connected with me in ways I would later in my life miss so much. It was like she knew what I thought in my mind, and for someone with a noisy mind, it made me happy, happier than I had ever been since my mother passed away.
For two months we lived in the Alhaj's mansion. Eating, and relishing like kings, but like the saying goes "good things don't last long."
When Zaheer came to get me, it was exactly two months after the day we left Harmony City. He walked into the room smiling from ear to ear that early morning.
"You've been summoned, Mr. Badur. You and your brother," he said as he opened the large windows of the room.
"Summoned by whom, Zaheer?" I murmured. We never saw the Alhaj again after the fir

On the way back to the mansion the Alhaj explained how he had been trying to expand his cocaine business into Harmony City because of the seaport which would make his business easier and more profitable."The council continues to block my expansion even though I had toasted them for years. Your brother was going to open the gate for me but he cannot do that right now, and I am out of patience," he explained."An expansion now would put me and my brother in more trouble, Alhaj. The council would see it as another betrayal. I don't think I understand what you're asking me to do here.""I am asking you to wake up, kid. Your brother saw your bosses for what they really are, and he was ready to finally do something for himself. You have two choices in this life, kid. You can either be the grunt or be the fucking general!"You can continue to serve a man that does not give a fuck about you and maybe if you're lucky you'll make it to your early twenties
Street Diaries Uneasy Lies the Head
The representative of the Cartel that attended the meeting was a guy named Osiel Blanco. He came to represent the matriarch of the Blanco family, who was his mother. The cartel was seeking new routes to Europe, and the corrupt nature of the country made it the perfect place to do business. This resulted in the expansion of two distinct trade routes, both of which went through West Africa. One route exported domestically produced cannabis from West Africa to South Africa, Europe, and Asia. The other trade route moved cocaine from Latin America and heroin from the Middle East and Southeast Asia to Europe and the United States. I sat with the Alhaj, Osiel and we were later joined by the Chinese. All this was moving way too fast for me to keep up. I never knew how Alhaj was able to convince these seasoned criminals to trust me, a kid... I was just a secondary school kid without any experience of the world I was being introduced into. These were world-level, very dangerous people. They c
Street Diaries Unions and Reunions.
Harmony City, my home. I could hear the noise half an hour before we entered the city. The sound of people screaming and singing, and laughing. The sound of vehicles honking, motorbikes speeding and people angrily cursing one another's forebears. The sounds of babies crying, mothers screaming at their children to be careful, and fathers scolding their stubborn children. Sirens of police cars and ambulances rose in the air, those never stop for a well-known reason, a city with its total violent crime rate at 479.7. The police and the ambulances work round the clock, with the latter so corrupt it does not make any real difference. The loud sounds of men arguing, women gossiping, all mixed up to create the chaotic atmosphere of this dirty metropolis.Unlike the smell of fresh air that I enjoyed during my stay in Zarratown, the smell in Harmony City was different too. I was greeted by the familiar smell of sweat mixed with maquillage and all sorts of body lotions and creams
Street Diaries Amongst Family, Friends and Enemies.
Uncle Kasali's men returned fire, but the enemy had the numbers. It wasn't long before we started to get casualties. They retreated into the farmhouse and we were all trapped. Before the situation got worse, I picked up my cell phone and made a call, something I should have done before trouble found us, but in this business, you never know who the hell to trust. People would switch up on you at any time, especially when you're in the way of their ambitionns. Honor among thieves is an illusion that would get you killed quickly, betrayal was so common it would be stupid not to expect it from everyone you deal with... I learned that the hard way. "Bandey and Morgan are down, Kasali! We didn't sign up for this much heat," one of the men shouted. He appeared to be the leader. "Well, isn't that the way this shit work, Mickey? Quit sounding like you're doing this for free, I am paying you to be here, Kasali screeched back at him. Both men appeared demoralized, the fight was
Street Diaries Let The War Begin!
Baraka's words before he left the farmhouse that night were more of a prophecy, what came after then was termed the Reshuffling wars. The family leaders found out what we had planned for them before I and my brothers even returned to Harmony City. Nothing stayed secret for long in these streets, all the talk about loyalty and brotherhood was just bullshit. I recognized that fact in the early days. Betrayal is a part of the game, you should expect it, even from the ones closest to you. Being too trusting would get you killed quickly.Baraka reached out to everybody that was at the meeting in the desert, but only Maleek Kose showed up with him to the meeting. Kaz chose Giwa's grove as the meeting place. We had a family fishing cabin there, nobody would come looking."Where the hell is the rest of the team?" I asked, disappointedly."Look, kid..."Maleek started to talk but I interrupted him halfway."You will not call me that, Maleek," I said in a low tone.
Street Diaries Rot
Rot, rust, decay, decomposition, corruption. These words mean a lot, in a society where nothing works for the common man, but everything works for the men at the top. A society where the men who make the laws are the first to break them, a society where honesty is so scarce, men tend to rot in their core which in turn leads to the whole society and everything in it rotting, crumbling, decaying, withering, worsening, deteriorating, and descending back to their basic and cruel nature, survival of the fittest. The futile race to get to the top where things work would be so important that they would not mind who gets hurt in the process.The car halted but I sat quietly in the back seat. I was back in downtown right where Chuks brought me to get the suits we wore to Mr. Sarumky's party. It was just some months ago and a lot had happened after that day. I found myself in a position I never thought I would be in years to come, I had not been to school since that day, and I missed m
Street Diaries Brothers for Life.
I needed to see Mikey, so I told Chuks to drive over to my school at Taiwo Avenue. The cabin was starting to kill me, it was empty and Kaz and his guys did not return. I kept thinking about how to do what I had to do throughout the night, rolling in my not-so-comfortable bed. The man was a corrupt politician, he was responsible for the misery of a lot of people. I said all these things in my mind to justify what I was about to do, it never really got old, trying to rationalize taking a person's life, no matter how much they deserved it. For someone who committed a lot of murders in his life, I really could not get past the guilt, it's a sort of punishment I placed upon myself. After a while, I started to lose count of numbers and names although their faces never really escaped my memory. I decided to start writing down names in a diary, yes it was stupid but the other thing I would have done was tattoo the names on my body as Chuks did. I'm sure you agree that the latter was better.
Street Diaries Making Soup
Humans... We leave a lot behind, even when we are long gone and forgotten. Graves, dried skin and flesh, bones, teeth and hair, all these would be evidence of our existence and they would tell a story of how we met our tragic ends. Taking of body temperature to determine time of death, checking for fingerprints and shit to determine killer's identity, even as ill equipped and trained the police was, they really become a real problem when they decide to work. I was not even going to give them the chance to do all that, so the body had to go. I had to make sure the news of her death be about unknown gunmen attacking her and she vanishing without a trace. It was a common thing, nobody would even be surprised, given the line of work that the madame was into.We had just murdered a well known person in society and questions would be asked. Luckily for us, I paid attention in chemistry classes and did some extra researches on my own. The answer to our problem was a mixture of sodiu
