Equatorial Guinea, the tiny nation in the Central African region, has been in the news for a wrong reason. Before now, the oil-rich country with a population of less than two million, over 80 per cent of them professing the Roman Catholic faith, was hardly known except among soccer buffs on the continent. Right now, the minuscule country has qualified for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Tournament along with the Giant of Africa, Nigeria.
However, little did we know that the pocket-size country is quietly leading the continent in sex sports. If Africa is to bid for the hosting of Sex Olympics as taunted by Sweden a couple of years ago, Equatorial Guinea would have no challengers on the Dark Continent. The reason is well known to all by now. Thanks to Balthazar Ebang Elonga, the head of the country’s anti-corruption body, the carbon copy of our own Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) or Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC).
Take it or leave it, money and women are two sides of the same coin. While a couple of anti-graft czars have fallen from grace to grass on the slippery surface of money in Nigeria, the Ebang did so banging between the slippery laps of women.
The whole world was jolted awake early this month with explicit video clips of Ebang. I will prefer to stick to the middle name for the purpose of this write-up and you know why. Ebang is a good-looking man. Cool, calm and suave. He is every lady’s dream man. His travails began when he was suspected of crimes he was recruited to fight. Investigators stormed his residence in search of proofs but got more than they bargained for. They stumbled on video clips of their ‘Saint’ banging all manner of women that included the sisters of the sitting president, wives of ministers and top government functionaries, married women, including pregnant ones, sisters-in-law and, wait for it, his own cousins! The startling and unprecedented revelations have since set the internet abuzz. The man of the moment or man of actions executed the escapades in his office, hotels, toilets, on the tables, on the chairs, on the sofas and in the forest. Yes, forest as though they were bush meat!
What has caused the jaws of netizens to be on the floor literally with saliva dripping on their chests was the number of shoots he recorded before the bubble burst. There were about 400 motion pictures showing willing participants eyeing the cameras and expressing their pleasure as a skillful Ebang banged them from different angles.
Only recently, I recalled a piece here entitled, “The danger of away games”. For those who missed the write-up, an away game is a euphemism for extra-marital affairs carried out outside the matrimonial home, mostly involving adulterous married men… including those housing more than one wife.
When the news of Ebang’s exploits hit the internet showing the photographs of his pretty wife and adorable kids, many netizens shook their heads in disappointment, wondering why he should betray such a paragon of beauty. They questioned what he was looking for outside… with women who could not be compared to his spouse in beauty. But netizens’ sympathy vanished like smoke dispersed by fast moving harmattan wind when the video clips of the wife’s versions hit the net, and making her husband’s skills pater into insignificance. She was superb at it too.
I had a friend in Zaria long before I got married who told me that he would not mind if his wife careered to the south while he careered to the north or careered to the west while he careered to the east and then they could meet at home later. I told him he must be sick in the head. I asked him what manner of union would that be. That was around the mid-70s. I had to take a harder look at Ebang’s videos, trying to figure out if he was my Zaria friend practising what he swore to preach! He is not. My friend should be older.
The embattled Ebang has ruined many homes. One of his ladies has reportedly committed self-murder out of shame. The husband of another of sex partner of his has ferried the woman to her parents, lamenting his disgust over the sexercise carried out on her in the woods of all places. His wedding cost him over $35,000 and everything went down in a cheap forest where the action was videoed.
But some of the women have shown no remorse. They still relish in the cash gifts and the good times Ebang gave them which they were not getting from their spouses back home. Some women are an enigma. They want to eat their cakes and have them. Most rich men are busy chasing more wealth, with little time or energy to spare for banging. So, they stick to their rich husbands like ants on sugar but look for the Ebangs out there to service them, so to speak. These are the Robin Hoods in marriage who rob their wealthy spouses to give to their poor male service providers… in exchange for pleasure. Body no be wood, they would argue.
Expectedly, Ebang’s best viewing videos have garnered over one million viewers within a couple of days across the continent and beyond. I am not here to judge the philander endowed with an overactive testosterone in his early 50s. Elsewhere, Ebang, his wife and all the women and men that have crossed the couple’s paths would have been clamped into jail to be tried and executed in the end given the overwhelming proofs against all of them.
Most of those who are out to crucify him in the open, including women, cannot cast the first stone in the secret. Many men in high positions are guilty of Ebang’s offence even though they cannot come anywhere close to equaling or breaking his record. There are instances of ‘men’ of God (MoG) who have ruined many happy homes by preying on their gullible members under different guises… especially during night vigils. Imagine married women submitting themselves to bathing by their pastors to obtain deliverance. Such an exercise usually ends up with the deliverer being possessed by sex demons and the results are obvious. Lately, we have heard of MoG impregnating mothers and daughters they are supposed to shepherd.
There was instance of a Jos-based General Overseer of Pentecostal hue who was caught romping with a member’s wife in his church office. The lady let the cat out of the bag because she could not keep her voice down as Daddy G. O. ravaged her with pleasure. A so-called man of God who sleeps with married or single woman is worse than Ebang that preyed on 400 unmarried women in camera.
Nobody can tell over what period of time Ebang executed his banging mission. Ditto his wife who was said to have often participated in an orgy with her man. Devouring their prey without taking any protection still baffles me. Bold folks! Are the Equatorial Guineans immune to the dreaded HIV/AIDS? Or they just throw caution to wind, propelled by fleeting pleasure. We will find out in years to come.
The lesson here is that a man to be entrusted with responsibilities that command enormous influence should be immune to temptations by money and women. The twin forces are men’s primordial foes that have precipitated the downfall of many. But such men are not easy to find under the sun or moon. It could be tantamount to searching for a cock with teeth.
All told, Ebang will go down in history as a descendant of King Solomon… the (wisest) Jewish monarch that amassed 700 wives and 300 concubines. The only difference is that the Equatorial Guinea-born ‘Jew’ did not stockpile the women under one roof because they belonged to other men.
Something tells me to search the Bible. Ebang may be found in the Old Testament.
