But at the thought of fifty million, her eyes lit up. “I will do it,” she said out loud. She did not think about the consequences. She only wanted the money. Amiwa was very excited. She accepted the challenge. “I’m going to become the richest slay queen,” she thought. The next day, she told her friends about the bet.
“He said that if I don’t bathe for a whole year, he will give me 50 million naira.” “Wait, what?” said Lola, staring at her. “You’re joking?” “Not at all,” Amiwa replied. “I’m doing it.” “At least you’ll use perfume, right?” asked Ronty. “I’ll manage. I need that money,” she replied. Lola shook her head. “Amiwa, this is not healthy.”
Ront added, “This sounds dangerous. What if it’s a trap?” “Girls, everything will be fine. You’ll see.” The challenge began. Amiwa stopped bathing. At first, she used perfume to cover the smell. But soon, it became hard to hide. Her skin started itching. What she did not know was that the chief had secretly installed a camera in her home to watch her, to make sure she was not bathing.
Her friends helped her at first by using deodorant and buying air fresheners, but after a few months, it became unbearable. One evening, Lola packed her bag. “I’m sorry, Amiwa, I like you, but I can’t live like this.” Ront stayed. She brought food, cleaned, and checked on Amiwa to make sure she was okay.
But after 7 months, even Ront could not take it anymore. “I don’t want to leave you, but it’s too hard for me. You need help,” she said while packing her things. “I’m fine,” Amiwa replied. “I’m almost there.” Ront cried, then she left too. “Please take care,” she said before stepping out the door. “I will continue.
Ah, 50 million naira is waiting for me,” Amiwa told herself as she removed her wig. She felt sad, but she did not want to give up. She was still determined to win that money. “I can handle this,” she thought while looking at herself in the mirror. “I don’t need them. I will do it alone,” she whispered.
Meanwhile, her parents were still sad. Their daughter missed them, and they worried a lot about her. But after several weeks without bathing, Amiwa’s body began to react. Her skin itched, her hair broke off, and the smell became unbearable. Even online, people began to notice.
“What is wrong with this girl? She used to be pretty. Now look at her,” some said. Mockery spread. “She smells really bad,” people whispered. Amiwa’s Instagram followers began to leave. They no longer found her as beautiful as before. Some left cruel comments.
“She is disgusting now.” Another even wrote, “She is not perfect anymore.” Denny, her so-called best friend, began spreading rumors about her. One day, Denny visited Amiwa. She pretended to be kind, smiled, and even brought snacks. But deep down, she was very jealous. Amiwa’s name was everywhere.
Even without bathing for months, everyone was talking about her. While they were talking, Denny saw Amiwa standing near a wall, scratching her butt violently. Amiwa did not know that Denny was watching her. Secretly, Denny took a picture with her phone. Later that night, Denny posted the image online with the caption:
“Here is your Instagram queen scratching herself like a generator.” People burst out laughing in the comments. “This one has really become a comedy.” When Amiwa saw it, her heart broke. “She came to see me just to mock me,” she whispered, hurt. “Why would Denny do that?” Amiwa was in pain.
