Dear Diary: Friday 15-02-2013

I woke up early. That was a fake wake up because I drifted off and woke up late. My boss sent a text message at 8:24am that I should be very early in office. I didn't even see the text till after 9:00am when I hopped out of the bathroom. What excuse am I going to give him today. Yet again I didn't read Open Heavens Devotional this morning. I hit the road and noticed an unusual traffic, bingo! That's my excuse! Quickly I sent him a text about the bad traffic and that it might be a road accident. It actually turned out to be a road accident involving a danfo bus and a space wagon. The danfo bus drivers are as reckless as the okada (commercial motorcycles) friends. The two cars looked pretty banged up. I have no idea regarding casualties.

Finally I made it to the office. First to come, I thought my boss would already be there. Didn’t do much in the office. I downloaded this track ''Ome Nwanne'' by Kelly Handsome and I have been feeling the song die! It’s putting me deep in the igbo mood, if you know what I mean. Its a high-life song with lyrics mostly in igbo I left for Caxton-Martins office to pick up company incorporation documents for Ben. Traffic was light on my way going but it was a different a story coming back. It felt like eternity sitting in the bus for a long time under the hot sun. It was like torture. Its always like torture especially when its a commercial bus with no air-conditioner in it.

Ibe's wife Amara came back this evening. I wasn't expecting her. As I drew closer to my door I heard her voice as she chatted away. The second half of the duo chatterbox is back, now my ears should be wearing the most tech and efficient earmuffs.
