Jeg har på kort tid blitt en del av den nigerianske sosieteten. Stadig vekk får jeg mailer fra høytstående forretningsfolk og andre styrtrike personer derfra. For noen dager siden fikk jeg mail fra den Nigerianske landbruksministeren, og i dag fikk jeg sannelig brev fra prinsessen:

I am Princess Ifoma Okoye, daughter of HRH King Solomon Okoye, the king of Ogoni Kingdom. I am 30 years old and a graduate of Mass Communication.
My father was the king of Ogoni Kingdom the highest oil producing area in Nigeria. He was in charge of reviving royalties from the multi-national oil companies and government on behalf of the oil producing communities in Nigeria. After the hanging of the Ogoni Nine(9) including Ken Saro Wiwa by the late dictator General Sani Abacha, my father suffered stroke and died in August 27th this year. But before his death, he called me and told me he has Fifty Million Dollars (USD 50.000.000.00) cash in his possession, specially deposited in a Security vault company here.

He advised me not to tell anybody except my mother who is the last wife of the (8) eight wives that he married. My mother did not bear any male child for him. Which implies that all my father's properties,companies etc., we have no share in them because my mother has no male child according to African Tradition. My father therefore secretly gave me all the relevant documents of the said money, and told me that I should use this money with my mother and my younger sisters because he knows that traditionally, if he dies we cannot get anything, as inheritance.

osv...osv...

Det føles jo litt stas å være i et slikt selebert miljø. Prinsesse Ifoma høres jo ut som ei veldig ålreit jente, og masse penger har hun jo også. Hadde det ikke vært for at jeg har nok av forpliktelser her, kunne jeg jo ha blitt litt fristet til å besøke henne. Dersom noen av dere er interessert i å bli kjent med henne, kan jeg sikkert koble dere.
