Lanre and Ify are roommates and students of the prestigious University of Nigeria Nsukka, Enugu state. While Lanre is a beautiful light skin girl from the city of Ibadan, Ify whose full name is Ifeoma is dark skinned from the coal city, Enugu and both are undergraduates studying Mass communication and are in their final year. 
Unlike Ify, Lanre is the wild type who has her eyes for extremely flashy things, so when a guy approached her and asked her to marry her, she thought he wanted to hinder her from leaving life to the fullest until she realised he was the governor's son and wanted him for herself. But he was already engaged to Ify. What price is Lanre willing to pay to marry the "Governor's Son"?

The Governor's Son Is Mine

“Chibuzor you slapped me? You will hear from me soon. Change my name if I don’t call the police on you;” Ify said going into the house.

Chibuzor laughed at Ify calling her a spoilt brat. Then he said: “How you no go de behave like witch when you don go de follow Yoruba demoness”. He said referring to Lanre as a demoness and a bad influence on Ify.

Meanwhile Lanre had just finished taking her bath and was just heading out of the bathroom when she saw Ify changing her clothes. She noticed that her friend was crying. She asked Ify why she was crying and if someone broke her heart. “Babe, kilode? Na why you de cry? Dem don serve you breakfast?” Lanre asked.

Ify flared up telling Lanre what happened after she left. “Ekpele o!” Lanre said telling Ify sorry. Then she went on to scold Ify. “So, that is why you are crying and you want to even turn it into a police case”. Lanre said. Then she took off her towel without shame. She was already used to Ify’s presence. They are just like sisters. She applied lotion on her body. But with each lotion, she adds kernel oil to it because of the harsh harmattan weather in Nsukka.

“So what am I supposed to do? He slapped me. That’s an assault. He should be arrested and sued”. Ify said with her arms folded against right below her breasts as if it was what supports the breast to keep it standing. She stamped her foot against the floor continuously.

“Babe guy slap you, you slap am back! If him rough handle you, you give am back. If e reach better fight, I de your back!” Lanre said to Ify. She has just encouraged Ify that if she gets slapped by a guy, she should react by slapping him in return. If he ill-treats her, then she should do the same. And if it comes to fight, she was ready to support her”. Ify looks at Lanre. She knew Lanre was stubborn and sometimes love to help fight away people who oppress others. But she has never been in a physical fight. Lanre would always say she doesn’t want any scratch on her beautiful flawless skin, especially her face.

“Lanre, hope you know that Chibuzor will beat me and beat you together if I should react in such way. This your fair skin go get plenty colour (Your skin will have different colours from the bruises). Lanre, violence is not always the solution!” Ify said. Lanre laughed clapping her hands. She wore a leggings and a hoodie because of the cold.

“So what is the solution? Na liquid abi na solid abi na solute? Or na wetin?” Lanre asked using chemistry terminologies as well. “Call the police and you will be wasting money. Is he not from this side of the town? Babe forget about calling the police. If you do not want to slap him back, if you don’t want fight, then do not look for trouble!” Lanre said.

Do Not Look For Trouble
