Arab Prince
At The Salon One Day ...
Betty:(flipping through the pages of a magazine) chai, chai, chai! Which kain tin be dis? As I sit here ehn, I can smell this man's money!
Dorcas: Which man? Which money?
Betty: This Arab man Janet Jackson got married to oh! See as the man get money ehn?
Dorcas: Arab man ke? No be muslims dose people be? He's a muslim now?
Betty: Ehen? And so what?
Dorcas: Janet Jackson na Christian na!
Betty: And your point is?
Dorcas: My point is a Christian must never marry a non-Christian.
Betty: Dorcas, so if I decide to marry an Arab prince, you will preach this nonsense to me?
Dorcas: If you decide to marry an Arab prince that would mean you would be unequally yoked with an unbeliever.
Betty: And that's bad because ...?
Dorcas: Because you will go to hell. That's what the Bible says.
Betty: Hmmm. Okay. And we're supposed to live by the Bible, right?
Dorcas: Yes...
Betty: Well, the Bible says that if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise their children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.
It also says that wives should submit themselves to their own husbands so that, if any of them (husbands) do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of their (wives') lives.
Also the Bible says there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. So what are you saying, Dorcas?
Dorcas: see how you are quoting Bible all of a sudden! Hmmm, I still don't agree sha. You should not willingly enter into such a marriage.
Betty: Dey there dey yarn nansense. By the time I marry my Arab prince finish, I go invite you to come visit us. When you see private jet land for your papa doormouth, I go see if you no go enter.
Dorcas: But he will have wives before na.
Betty: And so what? I am ready to be the seventh wife sef.
Dorcas: Betty!
Betty: Oh yes oh! You don't know anything. You see these Arab people ehn, their houses are like palaces, gold everywhere. You don see rose-coloured gold for your life before? Na their hand dem dey see am. I no go dey use hand touch anything, no cooking, no cleaning. Just to dey enjoy my life. I will have my own apartment and it will be a castle on its own. Also, I will have a lot of free time, especially if my prince has many wives. We no go dey do everyday na! I go dey rest well well.
Dorcas: And you will go to church on Sunday oh, Betty. Think about what you are saying very well oh. By the way, where will you do your wedding? Which Pastor will marry you and a Muslim? Where will the wedding hold?
Betty: See matter oh! Is God not everywhere again? We go do the wedding anywhere jare.

Betty: And you know say these Arab men dey fine die! Their skin dey pure like baby bum bum. Their eyebrows are full and naturally arched. Their lips dey red and soft, no be that your boyfriend wey him lips thick like kpomo and black like charcoal, like who dey smoke weed.
