Baltasar Engonga

By Nehru Odeh

Baltasar Engonga must be over the moon now, seeing that his country’s Supreme Court recently acquitted him of the charges in the case involving the women in the  over 400 sex tapes.

His recent photo in the public space shows him jetting out to France with his beautiful wife, who was also alleged to have been involved in trysts with other men. They are expected to spend one month in France on vacation.

Other videos show him chilling with his family after the scandal, his detention and acquittal.

What does that tell about the couple? It shows that they have reconciled and moved on despite the heartrending scandals both were involved in which set the Internet on fire. It also shows the seductive power of Baltasar, the man in the eye of the storm whose sex tapes took the globe by storm.

How was Baltasar able to seduce the more than 400 women he had intimacy with within his office, his bedroom, on the table and even in his restroom? Many ascribe it to his social status, wealth, power and fame.

The truth is, those variables are very important. But they are not enough. There are many men who have those variables but cannot boast of the kind of Baltasar’s exploits in the other room.

However, those variables can’t be overemphasized. He has enough money to throw around to seduce women. But as far as s Baltasar is concerned, it is more than meets the eye.

First, aside from the fact that Baltasar is from a well-heeled family, with surplus money to throw around, one of the most important tools he used in seducing those more than 400 women is his enchanting looks.

Baltasar is known everywhere he goes as a very handsome man. The fact that he is popularly known as ‘Bello’, his alias, which means ‘the handsome one’ gives him a sure ticket to women’s hearts. Who won’t want to have it with someone who everybody agrees with and society confirms that he is handsome?

Baltasar is not just handsome, he has the power of seduction, the gift of the garb. With that gift, he was able to convince the women, whether married or not to have it with him, even when they knew he was married.

It is a given that women are moved by what they hear and men by what they see. That gift of the garb was a ready tool in the hands of Baltasar and he made use of it very well to convince them.

For instance, Christel Nchama, one of the many women in Baltasar’s tape said she was in a relationship with him for four years, adding that he deceived her. “I dated Baltasar Engonga for over four years, he betrayed me,” Nchama alleged.

Fair-skinned and beautiful Nchama’s experience is just a case study. It shows Baltasar must have meted the same treatment to other women, both married and spinsters, the highs and the lows with his power of deception.

Nchama, who felt betrayed that that video was kept and made public claimed that Baltasar “misled” her into trusting him and that she had initially resisted being filmed, under the impression that any recordings would be deleted.

Another reason Baltasar was able to seduce the women was the attention he gave them. A careful look at the video tells one the kind of attention, he gives those women. And that is what many women lack in their relationships. Baltasar was able to cash in on that lack and prey on those women.

Still, one cannot underestimate the power of his enormous manhood, which many fondly describe as a weapon of mass destruction.

That Baltasar is endowed with that machine can never be overemphasized. And word must have gone around in social circles, offices and even churches that he is endowed. Perhaps that was the reason every woman wanted to have a taste of that weapon.

Even the social media frenzy and the excitement it generated in women who spoke so beautifully about Baltasar’s manhood, about how they are willing to try it with him, speak volumes about its enormous power.

Once a woman experiences it and reveals it to her friend, that friend will, no doubt, reveal it to another friend and want to have a taste of the pudding. Little wonder, the women he had intimate affairs with were those in his inner circles – his brother’s wife, his pastor’s wife, his house help, his secretary etc, minister’s wives, the president’s – his grand uncle – younger sister as well as his cousin, to mention only a few.

That Baltasar was blessed with the power of seduction showed in the way he and his wife quickly resolved their differences and jetted out to France on- a month’s vacation. What happened to the couple was enough to destroy. That marital relationship.

If what happened to them had happened to other couples, their relationship would have crashed. But not so for the Engongas. Baltasar was able to convince his wife and made use of the weapons in his arsenal to convince her to stay.

So, rather than Engonga’s marriage crashing, it has solidified the more. Thanks to Baltasar’s seductive power and his ability to convince his beautiful wife about why the marriage should remain.

It was the same technique that that man from Equatorial Guinea used that was able to have intimacy with over 400 women, even though they knew of the existence of other women in his life and the fact that he was a married man. Those women no send, as a Pidgin  English lingo goes.
