SQUADI: The Originals

IMG-20160612-WA0001

Hey guys, so I thought to have a small discussion, you know, some sorta open conversation thing since I don’t have money to host y’all to drinks somewhere fancy yet.

I wanted us to talk about my Ebook SQUADI: The Originals.

You see, because SQUADI is a series (SQUADI: The Fall Of Ajerun is probably next in the SQUADI series and EYIN ESE, currently running, has characters that are related to the SQUADI series. Yeah I know it is historical, so wouldn’t it be fun to see how xters from old times mix up with modern day xters?) it matters what you think and I love conversations of course.

So here I am, throwing it open.

All my constant commenters and ghost readers (here’s looking at you lara Ayanbanjo nee Hammed) have to comment.

So Modus, Jay, Hibukkun, Queen Jiddah, Birdy, Dotun,Datoks,  Modupsneb, Pelumi Hadassah, you cannot escape this!!! And yeah Gorgeous too (oh yeah, after we had that argument, you’re still not allowed to go. Sorry. Lol).

And because I didn’t mention your name, don’t think you can skip this o.

Ehen, where was I… okay, yeah, so tell me, what were your best moments in SQUADI? Your least favorite moments and, your favorite xter.

And of course, what you hope to see in SQUADI: The Fall Of Ajerun. You know, moments you loved so much in SQUADI: The Originals and that you hope you’d see again.

Please be honest.

Oya sound off in the comment section guys!

  2. Favourite moment was when Ekanem and Hakeem were falling for each other. Ekanem is my favourite character. My least favourite moment was when Ekanem and Hakeem were having issues over Ekanem’s role in their plan. Will like to see them fall inlove and screw each other against all odds.

  3. Ahhh the faster we comment the faster we see part 2 of Squadi? LOL!! I really didn’t like how quickly Hakeem’s Dad forgave them all, it seemed too sudden. Like the story was in a hurry to end 🙂 My favorite moment when Hakeem is there for Ekanem during her Mother’s death; it shows that really deep down Hakeem is not self-centered.

    1. 😂😂 For where? Well, I wouldn’t mind if someone can help me write fast. That way you can get it fast fast. Lol. As for how quickly Hakeem’s dad forgave them, babe you missed it o. I think you have to go back and read the end 😉 . He forgave them but scattered the crew i.e separating Ekanem from Hakeem, AJ’s school issues, telling Yellow’s wife etc. Read the end again. BTW thanks for the comment.xx sweetie.

  6. My best moment was when akeem helped yellow with the hospital bills, that really introduced the compassionate side of hakeem’s character…. My sad moment was when ekanem was forced to stay away from Hakeem by Hakeem’s father, would really love to see more of those two….. My favorite character is definitely AJAY…. I feel like there is so much more to him than what we av seen and would love to see you explore that…..

    1. Oh trust me Jisola, AJ is coming back for real in SQUADI: The Fall Of Ajerun. Actually, cos you like AJ, I will tell you this, he is the one we would be following in the next SQUADI series. The way we followed Hakeem’s story in the first is the way we would follow his in the second. As for the compassionate side of Hakeem being revealed at the Hospital, I know right? Everyone has a good side it seems. Thanks Jisola 💖

  8. hi tomi, i like almost every moment in this series, a little sad ending though but it is very necessary they all get punished. but my most interesting episode has to be when AJ went home, as in the whole coming home thingy, the “because you are the only child…..” part reminds me of my folks, and it was just too funny all the way..i’m not the only child oo but sounded way too much like my mum. favorite characters would have been both AJAY and Lerato but as lerato has been burnt like a forgotten roasted boli on the grill. it all comes down to AJ! and to be honest i actually always visualize “dorcas shola fapson” as the one playing the ekanem role in this series. oh! i also enjoyed the yellow and his wife episode! big ups to you coco… cheerio!

    2. The short but intense chemistry between Ajay and that south African chick. When they made love for the first time

    I want to see Ajay revenge her death and the squadi crew helping in this .

    1. Ehn? Sorry for what comment? I think you don’t know how much I wanted to read from you people. Please if you have more, add. Lol. Alhaji messed with them. He’s responsible for all the bad things that happened to the crew; AJ’s expulsion, Ekanem’s stay in Ghana (which might be a good thing, depends on how you see it) and Yellow’s wife eventually finding out what he’d been up to. Thanks dear.💋💋

  13. So my name was called here.

    For me, the best part was the ending, when chief had to let Ekanem choose her life, me i have always been an advocate of “love shouldnt want to kill you, if you have to choose between love and your life, please pick your life, another love will find you” and i am glad Ekanem choose what was sensible, i also believe love should be sensible,

    Then my best character was chief, okay i have a thing for sensible old men, did i sound bad, but its the truth, the man knew what was happening all along and he was watching, and playing along….and he still watched out for his son….awesome man.

    I love to see Aj again, i love to see his revenge for King, yes, and i love ekanem younger sister, i like how tomi described her beautiful smille and soul…

    My best moments are two: 1. Alabi yellow being robbed of the money he hussle from Hakeem. 2. When Hakeem was vomiting anyhow anyhow because he chop Mama Chinese puff puff for junction. Omo ajebuti. Mtchweew. #smiles.

    Worst moment? When Ekanem’s mother died. You finish emotions for that episode. Hakeem hugging Pearl, Phillip doing skoun skoun because he is insecured. So touching.

    Best character? Hakeem. He portals the power of love, and of good company in transforming a nonsense guy to a correct guy.

    Worst Charater? Phillip. The guy na olodo abeg.
