| I hear that chicks like to be lied to. Men must always pretend to be what they are not and women secretly treat men as walking wallets, or walking ATMs. That suits me fine. I have tended to be quite picky with the other tribe.
The moment you exchange eyes with a chick you start getting all those visions of HIV, herpes and other scary sexual transmitted diseases. I am sure they feel the same. Hardly helpful to one's libido. But one day I got caught. She was extra something. Different. Not someone just x-raying my pockets. She was a real woman!
So I started presenting my credentials which were non-starters. But then one never knows if women will bite the bait or not. "Hi baby. How are you doing?" "I am not your baby. My name is not baby. I am Moreen and you may sit down." She said. I sat down wondering whether she was a member of TAMWA or something.
"Thanks, Moreen" I said and introduced myself; "My name is Jones and my father...''
''Jones who?" "Okay my real name is Fisadi Jones." I glared at her to see if anything registers in her mind. It did. "Have you anything to do with..."
"Exactly. But I don't have anything to do with EPA. I am small pie. I just took 4 billion only and that did not warrant any attentions from Saidi Mwema, Johnson Mwanyika and others. So what I want to do is lie very low until the noises from the press die down. Then I am looking for a partner to live a quiet life." I lied.
Suddenly Moreen was being interested "So you stole from..." "I did not steal from anybody. Just that my uncle sent me to the BoT and suddenly, like a miracle, there was 4 billion in my account. I believe in miracles, you know." I said. "Who's your uncle?" she asked. I gave her the name of a personage of high consequence in government and the ruling party.
"But Moreen, you have to swear not to reveal this to anybody. Don't tell anybody that I have 4 billion in my bank accounts." She nodded and now she was looking at me like a prize bull. "But what are you going to do with all that money? You could get arrested, you know." She was a bit worried now.
"C'mon Mo. They arrest the poor guys. My 'vijisenti' will draw the eye of anybody. Why do you think nobody has been arrested? It is simply because everybody called anything in government is neck deep in the take. I am small fish." I said confidently. "Oh you are so funny, Jones." She cooed. "You want a brand new Rav4?" I asked her. "Darling!....." she gushed. See? It pays to steal in Tanzania!
