Bovi's Scary Experience In Port Harcourt And The Kind Prostitute Who Saved Him

Star comedian Bovi shared this slice of his memoirs on Instagram this morning. He visited Port Harcourt on a ill-planned surprise to his sister only to become stranded. Enjoy...

 I had just resumed school for second semester 300 level. This was February 2000. My mission was to storm port-harcourt from abraka and surprise my older sister who had just moved to another apartment. All I had was the address to the new apartment. I've always loved to pull surprises and this was my biggest one at the time. I arrived PH in the evening via public transport and traced her new place.

Me wey plan to surprise my sister con surprise myself. She had not moved in. Her present address, I didn't have. GSM; non-existent at the time, her office? Closed. I was practically stranded in the garden city. After recovering from my rude shock, I took the first 2 foolish decisions. I hailed a cab and told the can to take me to a happening joint. The type that runs all night. He told me it was a Tuesday, the happening joints really don't happen on Tuesday. I insisted there had to be one.
