Sunday June 02 2013: Truth be told, I really like the peace and quiet of my room now. I did my morning rituals. Today’s church service holds at TBS Lagos. The Apapa Family holds is holding the annual service EXCEL Service. I attended VIM – Victory Inheritance Ministry instead. It rained the started drizzling, it’ll take a lot more than this drizzle to stop me from going to church today. I called Caesar to find out when to meet him at home and gave me 9:00am as usual. We made it in time before the end of praise and worship. Pastor Nelson Osewengie preached on a topic “I Have An Identity” It was a high octane session of undiluted insightful sharing of the knowledge of the good Lord and the world! By the way my identity is not subject to identity theft! If you don't know your identity it will be subject to abuse and misuse.
I ENJOYED THE SERVICE! I’m so glad I came here today. It was very refreshing. No offence to my pastor but I wish he can preach like this. I learnt a lot. He infused so many practical realistic examples to buttress his point which made the sermon very easy to digest. From start to finish it was worth it. it’s not good enough to know your identity but also make use of it. For those of you who don’t know, I Have An Identity Of Greatness! The church held different meetings after the service I had to wait. Ruth, Ese, Folake and Blessing are ushers here. Ruth didn’t come today, blame it on her ICAN exam. Ese and Folake had a little fall out which tried to resolve. It was a buyer-seller squabble over face powder.
From church we went to Spar. Caesar drove, Tony in the front seat, me in the middle flanked by Folake on my left and Blessing on my right at the back seat. We made fun of each other. Folake is a nice girl, she doesn’t talk too much but always speaks her mind. People that will talk my head off are not really my type. Blessing and Folake picked what they wanted they want and we left. If only I had my atm card I would’ve picked something as well. I didn’t have enough money on me. We dropped off Folake, I got dropped off too. First of, I donated my body to sleep. I stayed indoors throughout.
Amara came in the evening. She cooked jollof rice. I asked her about Ibe, she said he is fine. That’s good to hear. Caveat! I’m not asking so he can come back! I’m not asking cuz I miss him! Just wanna know if he is doing okay. Trust Ibe he will definitely understand it differently fortunately for me I don’t care. I’m only responsible for what I say and not responsible for he understands. I drifted off on my laptop.

It rained last night. And I slept so well. I almost
overslept. Today is Time Out with the pastor. I went to church on time. I
didn't put on a tire. Me and one other guy, Idara, was sent out of the class to
get a tire from anyone. I just went straight home for a tire. I don't like
throwing a tire into the mix, when I wear different coloured trouser and
jacket. I did it for the first time. Pastor admonished us. It was meant to
strengthen our resolve in this path we have chosen. He hit the ‘head on the
nail’ like I always say.
The service somewhat started on a dull note for me. For
some strange reason I didn't quite feel the service today. I just don’t know
what happened. We had workers meeting after service to conclude on logistics
regarding our graduation on 29 May. There was also men's meeting after service
but I didn't wait to join the meeting. I went to Caesar's immediately I got
home, we are going swimming today, it's like a culture now. Tony and KY are
friends of Caesar and now my friends came around. We ate boiled maize, it was
very good. Next Blessing served us sweet potato chips. After, she brought
boiled groundnut. It’s all good. That's about what I have eaten for the day.
We left the house eventually to pick up Ruth and Ese.
Folake won't be joining us today, she's busy at work with Jumia. Now Caesar has
been trying to match-make Ruth and Tony but no luck. Ruth has never seen
anything good about Tony, she doesn't like him. Tony and KY were in another car
Caesar's plan was to ambush Ruth with Tony's sudden presence at the pool. I
figured Ruth won't find it funny. I sent Caesar Whatsapp message about my
concerns but dude didn’t do anything about it.
KY and Tony were in separate car and parked in the front
waiting for us. By the time we came out and for some reason Caesar had to
communicate with KY and Tony and then Ruth saw Tony. She flipped on Caesar big
time. Caesar tried to deny but there was no plausible deniability for him. He
has a long history of trying to literally marry Ruth and Tony together. Ruth
sees his matchmaking attempt as an act that borders on criminality. The brawl
raged for a while till she calmed down and accepted the fact that Tony was
going to see her sexy laps lol.
We got to the pool in really high spirits. We had our own
drinks alcohol and cranberry juice. I changed immediately and jumped into the
pool with excitement cuz I wanted to try out a new floating technique I read
about on the internet. It was the act of floating on water without moving a
muscle. Water got into my nose a couple times. I tried some more still same
result. But I have this feeling like if I really practice hard I can do it. At
my age, one is not so adventurous in some quarters. If it were kid me, I know I
will never stop trying to master this floating technique. A little later the
rest joined me. The rest were Ruth, Blessing, Ese and Austin. KY and Tony
weren’t going to swim.
The pool was relatively had a lot of people, even kids
were showing their skills making the grown-ups who can’t swim like Ruth and Ese
green with envy lol. To add salt to injury, the smallest of the kids, a very
small girl started teaching Ese how to swim. It was a funny sight. The little
girl was commanding boldly with a serious-business attitude like her swimming
instructor and Ese would just try her best to obey her trainer to the later.
She might’ve punished Ese for failing woefully if care wasn’t taken lol. It was
some memorable spectacle that should’ve been recorded for future reference lol.
Kids are such thing of joy! Caesar’s attention was divided between being in the
pool swimming and being out of the pool chatting with KY and Tony. The gist
centered mostly on the chicks in the pool.
Then I saw a nasty mucus floating on the water, oh God.
That really messed up rhythm. I stayed out of the pool for a long even after
the management has taken care of it. I didn’t swim much again. Ruth was really
busy learning from the trainer in the pool. We went home earlier than the last
time.

Today is the D-day. It’s the day of workers-in-training
exam. I’m not satisfied with my preparation cuz a few things keep disappearing
from my memory. I haven't shown Amara the text her husband sent me. When I told
her about
his call, she just said she don't know what's wrong with him. Ibe
called again in the morning just before I went to shower. I picked the call
said hello a few times and he didn't say anything. I let it read up to fourteen
seconds of silence before I cut the call.
I wondered why he didn't say anything. Was he thinking I
wouldn't pick his call? Foolish if that's the reason. That’s his business. I
wore my jacket for the first time in ages. I then showed the text to Amara. In
my exact words I said;
Amara lekwa texti oma Ibe sendiri.
Meaning look at the wonderful text Ibe sent. She didn’t say anything after she
read it. I didn’t say anything either. I have a workers-in-training exam today
I don’t want any foolishness to mess it up. I got to church on time. Bro
Johnson took Open Heavens after which the workers in training exam commenced.
The workers-in-training exam was okay. It had a short
answer section, a memory verse section and essay section of 5 questions to
answer 3. I only answered one from the memory verse, three from the essay a
couple from the short answer part. Assessing my performance, I passed. The
result will be announced next class.
There was a guest minister, Pastor Ayo. He's also a
musician, producer, multi-instrumentalist, etc. He plays sax mostly. Today was
one of those days when the equipment decided to malfunction and the technical crew
was helpless to salvage it on time. This pastor took the stage to 'saxify' us
but the mics didn't want any part of it. Nevertheless the show must go on. He
continued like that till the end. I felt him a little bit, I knew I would've
felt it more had the mics worked. I love sax and violin very much. The youth
were in charge of today's service. It was awesome.
The guy that led choir today was something else. I haven’t
seen him before. The guy is a talented born entertainer. Toward the end of the
service our pastor introduced the CD of the guest pastor and saxophonist, then
I understood why the microphones rebelled. The CD goes for N2000! Are you
kidding me? Said they produced it in South Africa. In my mind I was like no way
I’m gonna get 100 feet near that CD lol. If I’m lying I’m dying. I prayed a
prayer of faith believing God for ultimate solution to my current accommodation
palaver. I‘m so convinced in my spirit He
has answered my prayer. When I got home nobody was home. I don’t know where
they were. I washed few items and went to Caesar's place, we are heading to the
pool.
The pool today was something that marvels the
imagination. Me and Caesar went with Ruth and Folake and we met one of their church
member Ese. Ese was a wild one. She isn’t the shy type and doesn’t hold back. It
was fun galore from start to finish. As a matter fact we didn't want to finish.
I've never soaked myself this long in a pool before! Oh well my eyes are
bearing the brunt now. I was supposed to attend house fellowship but.....
Beloveth I haven’t eaten today but the massive
jollification has exiled the hunger from my system. I don't even know what food
is with my level of overflowing testosterone. Every end was once a beginning so
our pool leisure came to an end. We went home. I stayed at Caesar's a little as
I fell asleep in a flash. I went home when I woke up. The house was still a
ghost of itself. Ibe and Amara were still gone. I don't mind if they sleep
wherever they went. A peace of mind and privacy is all I ask. Is that too much
mate? I took my clothes from the line. I bought a drink and a snack. Already I
ate one small corn at Caesar's. That was all I tasted today. Now that my
testosterone high has come down, I finally realized how hungry I was. I can’t
cook anything now. My eyes are hurting, I just want to sleep.

Thank God for life today. This is the day that Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it. I went to the Lords house to worship him. He blessed me abundantly. I have never missed church service this year. That's a record for me. Lord I want to even deepen my christian life in truth and spirit. After service I had a good sleep. Went over to Caesar's.
I had a haircut later in the evening. Yeah I look fresh outta barber's shop
now. Got home sprayed insecticide in the kitchen which is now being run by
roaches. If only I can spray the insecticide continuously for at least two
weeks they will be completely gone. After dropping the bombs on the roaches I
went to shower. I was in the shower when Ibe and his wife came in. They stayed
outside cuz of the fume of the insecticide. I felt fresher after the shower. I
left the room too to get some fresh air.
I went and sat by our security post at
the gate. That was how I unintentionally invited the young man pour out his
complaint to me. He had a nagging issue with the self-imposed care taker of our
compound which is my own landlord, Mr. Tony. Mr. Tony refused to pay him last
month reason being he lost an old car battery for starting his generator. The
security guy Peter is not finding it funny at all. I really felt for him.. Amidst his predicament is my
own predicament of the asphyxiating stench reeking from his mouth, dude is
drunk!
Though he is in control of his system to an extent but the inhibition to
guard his mouth is gone. He has never talked to me about issues like this
before. I saw a neighbour giving him some words of advice and encouragement
earlier when I came back from the barbers. Now I know what it was about. I don’t
blame him for being upset.
Frankly I strongly hate withholding someone's pay
after the person has done the work, it’s an abominable, inexcusable and
unforgivable crime in my books. A labourer deserves his pay for sake of equity. My cousin's nanny who quit under questionable circumstance has complained to me about her unpaid salary too. I don't care if he is my cousin or not he has to pay her salary arrears.
Somebody has already laboured and you are withholding her rightful bona fide reward for her effort, no I don't side with or condole such. Don't ever deny a worker his salary after he or she has done the work for you. It's a serious crime against humanity.

The night sleep was highly refreshing, I almost over did it. Having a full eight hours sleep has its mental health benefits. I woke up around ten minutes to seven. Man how sleepy I
still feel. I need more sleep lol. I hurried lazily out of bed. As I was about
to shower I felt a bit pressed to take a dump. What?! At this time?! For me
taking a dump is like yoga. If you know the benefits of yoga, that is benefits of me taking a dump. I take my sweet time to do the service. I don’t
have time for this now. Let’s keep it safety deposit box, more like fixed
deposit account till I get back from church! I prepared for church. Long story
short, I went late by a minute I believe.
We had the class. I enjoyed the Open
Heavens as was taken by a fellow trainee worker though she has been long in that
sorta service. After that service commenced as usual. Praise and worship took
place.
As the choir was ministering through one lovely song, my neighbour came
in accompanied with his girlfriend and settled beside me. I never expected what
happened. This guy and his girlfriend were total nuisance in the church
especially to me. They kept talking and talking like they were lounging by the
bar. It was a non-stop session of talking, snickering, laughing and they didn't
bother to keep their voice down. When we stand up to pray, they'll be sitting
down completely devoted to their disturbance and nuisance in church.
I always ask myself why do people
like this who cause nothing but nuisance in church bother to come to church anyway. What do they come to accomplish since they are not
interested in the service? Is it to show there face and fashion? It is so
annoying. They were agents of the devil period. They came just to distract
people but it won’t work on me. Father forgive them for they know not what they do. I''m sure they do know this time. After service I went home. This guy has really made a horrible impression, his new reputation that of an unapologetic nuisance in church.
Bored. Hungry.
Alone. I drank garri. Back in church I had this yearning urge to drink garri
with salt that possessed me. I haven’t drank garri in ages but that was my
expensive staple back in secondary school days. The benefits of having garri back then was immeasurable but students always abused drinking of garri. I drank the garri and felt so
deeply satisfied. I simply obeyed my urge. I don't know how nourishing it was,
my innards can explain that better. I holed myself indoors. I used that
opportunity to wash my bathroom, left to Ibe, the place can look like a sewer
and he will be perfectly comfortable with it. Not that I expect him to wash it,
that’s like a pig to neaten up like a cat. His has his strength in some other
department.
One of my neighbours Egana called me, she is very cheerful always
smiling good-looking girl. Her smile is contagious, too contagious for a single Nigerian man like me lol. She came to spend some time
with me. I’m glad she came. Again thats a nice temptation for a single Nigerian man like me. I was pleasantly surprised too. We spent quite some
time, talked at length, we learnt so much about each other. She left sometime
in the evening. As she left I got on autopilot went to Igbo Efon to see Caesar.
A few minutes after I arrived at his place, his babe served us a delicious healthy meal. You'll
think I timed it but it was just my luck. UC a mutual friend of ours came over
too.
We talked and talked, no actually Caesar talked and talked and....but not like the nuisance in church fellow. Mehn
this guy never gets tired of talking. I admire him cuz he reads wide so he
makes incredible sense when he talks but I don't always agree with everything he says. My
eyes started going numb slightly. I had to leave. I went home and hit the sack
head on. I don't know when Ibe came in the night.

people but it won’t work on me. Father forgive them for they know not what they do. I''m sure they do know this time. After service I went home. This guy has really made a horrible impression, his new reputation that of an unapologetic nuisance in church.
Bored. Hungry.
Alone. I drank garri. Back in church I had this yearning urge to drink garri
with salt that possessed me. I haven’t drank garri in ages but that was my
expensive staple back in secondary school days. The benefits of having garri back then was immeasurable but students always abused drinking of garri. I drank the garri and felt so
deeply satisfied. I simply obeyed my urge. I don't know how nourishing it was,
my innards can explain that better. I holed myself indoors. I used that
opportunity to wash my bathroom, left to Ibe, the place can look like a sewer
and he will be perfectly comfortable with it. Not that I expect him to wash it,
that’s like a pig to neaten up like a cat. His has his strength in some other
department.
One of my neighbours Egana called me, she is very cheerful always
smiling good-looking girl. Her smile is contagious, too contagious for a single Nigerian man like me lol. She came to spend some time
with me. I’m glad she came. Again thats a nice temptation for a single Nigerian man like me. I was pleasantly surprised too. We spent quite some
time, talked at length, we learnt so much about each other. She left sometime
in the evening. As she left I got on autopilot went to Igbo Efon to see Caesar.
A few minutes after I arrived at his place, his babe served us a delicious healthy meal. You'll
think I timed it but it was just my luck. UC a mutual friend of ours came over
too.
We talked and talked, no actually Caesar talked and talked and....but not like the nuisance in church fellow. Mehn
this guy never gets tired of talking. I admire him cuz he reads wide so he
makes incredible sense when he talks but I don't always agree with everything he says. My
eyes started going numb slightly. I had to leave. I went home and hit the sack
head on. I don't know when Ibe came in the night.

I got up early but almost went to church late. I wanted
to quickly do a few things on the internet and before you know it I got carried
away. Im sure you know and understand how easily one can get lost on the vast
infinite ''Webland'' called internet.
I just rushed everything on the double
and went to church glad I made it on time. I volunteered to teach from the Open
Heavens in the next worker-in-training class. The Sunday began seamlessly. The
choir did a number that shook the entire exceptionally. We sang the song over
and over again. Service was wonderful. There was a youth meeting after service
but boy I didn't wait for that. Im pressed and hungry. Not like Im going to eat
when I get home cuz my fast ends by 3:00pm today, a full 7 days fast. I went
home.
I stayed indoors and worked on my lappie. There was this idea I had of a
unique kind of social network site, I started working on what it will look like
yesterday. I’ve not decided on the name yet but I have something in mind. I
want to create something that will boast of more users than Facebook. Im not a
web designer I was doing a PowerPoint to make the idea more picturesque,
understandable and sellable to a potential investor or a web designer.
How time
flies when you are having fun or busy at work. It was way past 3:00pm when I
only ate a piece of chicken from the stew. I ate proper meal around 4:00pm.
Before that I did a little clean up in the kitchen. The filth-friendly lifestyle of Ibe and his wife has brought a terrible cockroach infestation. I’m
still unable to eradicate the menace. I remained indoors for the rest of the
day. I looked at the Open Heavens for next week, yes its me going to take the Open Heavens.

The good Lord woke me early. I put together things I
needed for service today. Caesar invited me to their church today for a special
cultural Sunday. It’s a once in a year service. They serve buffet of magnificent
array of mouth-watering finger-licking Nigerian dishes after the service. I
have a workers-in-training class in my church. I didn't want to miss my class and I didnt want to just go for the food without attending the service itself. Otherwise I would've gone to Caesar's church immediately after my workers-in-training class.
The class went well. So did the service. As I was heading home from church I called Caesar to touch bass with him. He said if I can make it to their church in ten minutes then I can meet the buffet. Of course thats beside the point, I have no interest to start rushing to VIM at that point. I sent him a text after the call to bring me some takeaway.
We planned to go swimming today at Orchid Hotel, I asked him to let me know once he gets home so I can come join them. He called me suddenly to hurry up to a rendezvous so we can go swimming. That wasnt the plan na!! He didnt call me when he was on his way back, neither did he call me when he got home. He probably forgot. I changed hurriedly and grabbed my swimming kit. He was already getting impatient waiting for me. If only he had told me on time.
Today's swimming hang out was out of the ordinary, we were more than seven in number. Tony went with us in company of one other guy. Austin, and Caesar's girlfriend Blessing also came. Another guy their church member came as well. They all came from the church and made fun of me not showing up for the much publicized traditional church service. Caesar wasnt really disappointed and unhappy that I didnt come. I tried to explain to him, thats the best I could do.
The pool was relative empty at first, but gradually it started filling up. He paid for my swimming. We had fun. There were cute chics in the pool today. there was this particular one with killer figure but not with a killer face. She and her sister turned out to be very friendly. Austin was just all over her. Well its all part of the fun. They were Nigerians but grew up in France, sorta like tourist to Nigeria.
Finally the fun had to come to an end. Did i forget to mention we came with our own drinks, but we got a word from the management that its not really allowed especially if the hotel sells the drink we came with.
The idea of opening a joint business click and venturing first into the food industry was mooted by Caesar. Tony bought the idea, so did myself and one other guy that came (I have forgotten his name).
We went home afterwards. I showered, ate. Eventually I kissed my pillow and bid the night farewell.

I woke up around 3:30am, trying to figure out what to
wear. I don’t have any ironed shirt nor trouser, there was no power. I need to
be in church before 7:00am. I employed the age long technique of spraying a
little water on the rumpled shirt and hang it to dry. Then I got a fairly neat
looking trouser. I read a little and fell asleep again knowing fully well it
will affect my wake up time.
I set my alarm for 6:00am and almost tied it to my
head. It rang and I did what every alarm disobeying person will do.
Unfortunately/fortunately for me I didn’t turn it off the first time I heard
it, it may not be the first time it rang. I remember clearly pressing something
to stop the alarm but I didn’t remember why I set the alarm. The last rang that
woke at about 6:39am I just have 21 minutes before its 7:00 and Im supposed to
be there at least 5 minutes before 7:00am. Goddamn it! On top of that Im
supposed to be on tie but Im not.
By the time I reached they had already
started as expected. I joined. Topic was Baptism of Holy Ghost. After the class
was a session serious Pentecost prayer for the holy ghost to fall those/us that
are yet to receive it and thus speak in tongue. Im usually skeptical about the
speaking tongue thingy. I don’t doubt there are genuine speakers, but Im also
100% certain some fake it. Yeah that Im even 1000% sure. Im well armed with
that knowledge right from my Scripture Union days secondary school. I didn’t
fake it then we know those who did and those who made fun of it. I prayed that
the spirit of doubt be removed from me and they prayed for me to speak in
tongue.
My mind went blank, I couldn’t even remember the common ones I hear,
not that I wanted to say them. I mumbled something like a child's first word.
At a point my limbs felt so heavy, as if I was going to fall. My sub-conscience
acted on its own feebly carrying my weight. It took a while before the
heaviness gradually subsided. After the prayer ended I was still feeling a bit
so-not-myself. Also I gradually became myself. I know something transpired, no
denying it. I would like to have a fullness of it. The service was great. When
I got home my mind still wandered about the experience. Then it drifted back to
my studies.
Ibe was at home. I lay down to relax a little before reading. He
fell asleep. I lost track of time lying there. Then PHCN brought light, less
than five afterwards Ibe woke up. Like a timed-automated machine response, he
turned on the television immediately his eyes opened. The way it happened its
safe to say he actually sleepwalked to the television and finally woke up when
the blaring volume hit him. My study room just transformed into a full HD 3D
cinema.
I rested some more and just packed my books and went to the office to
read. First I grabbed lunch from Shoprite. It was really comfortable reading in
the office, if only it was very near to my house. I read until it was dark. I
left a few minutes after 7:00pm. I got home to the echo of myself. I watched
Inuyasha a little, you know the saying about all work and no play. The came in
much later. I went to bed a little later.

I had planned to attend House on the Rock Church today since
today's at my church will hold at the Surulere Stadium. I didn’t wake up on
time. Oh mehn not today. I got ready to go to House on the Rock Church. I went
to bus stop at the same time the Catholic Church at the bus stop just finished
one mass. They just flooded the bus stop, great! Now getting a bus will be
difficult. I waited for a while, it was no use. I checked two nearby churches,
I wasn’t impressed. I went back to waiting for a bus. Prior to going to the bus
stop, I had already called Caesar to find out if he was still at home so I can
go to his church with him. He didn’t pick the call. But God had a way of doing
his thing.
While I was slowly leaving the bus stop to check out a third church,
I had somebody shouting my name. He called several times before I heard it. He
wanted to withdraw some cash from the ATM and head to church. That was how I
went to his church with him. They had a guest preacher from Ghana named Koffi
Ampiah. He was something else. The service was full of resurrection. After
consuming such soul/spiritual buffet, they church served yet another buffé. The
meal was good. We went home with a plan to go swimming.
I had already planned
to visit my friend Uche Nwañu but I cancelled at the mention of swimming. I
have been craving to jealously treat myself to an all fun swimming session but
the stars won’t just align for it to happen. This is a perfect chance. The sun
is unbelievably hot at that. He invited one girl Ruth. We went to Orchid Hotel.
I had a helluva great time soaking my skin in that pool. I met one cute looking
Abigail, she is one helluva swimmer. We didn’t exchange numbers though, I just didn’t
take it that far.
The girl we went with, Ruth, she can’t swim. Surprisingly she
learnt so much on her first day of swimming. She's got admirable courage,
that's why she was able to overcome her fears and learn so much. She came to
the deepest part of the pool by holding unto the edge of the pool. I mean she
is brave. When we've had our splash to fullest, we went home very satisfied. I
hung out with a little more before heading home for the night.

I woke up early for church cuz I got workers-in-progress
class at 7:00am. Today is palm Sunday by the way. Went to church early and was
on time for the class. It was very interactive. Part of the lesson was
restitution. There was something bothering that I wanted to ask but couldn’t.
It was too personal to share in the class I guess. Or maybe it’s not really
restitution related. I said I will as the assistant pastor privately. I hope I’m
not populating the list of things I let lie fallow in the limbo things I wanna
discuss with a true pastor. Service was also uplifting. There was youth and
singles meeting after service, I couldn’t wait cuz I was expecting a visitor.
After service I went straight to restaurant to eat. I met Obi the wine dealer
on my way and we had a chit chat. It kinda delayed me a little. The cloud
starting turning so I had to cut the chit chat short. I found my way to the
restaurant eventually. Immediately I started eating heaven lifted restraining
order on rain and it just fell in its fullness. Instantly everywhere was
flooded, trust Lagos and its flood issue. I took my time with the food. The kid
I met at the restaurant really served me a large portion, I’m sure his madam
would served something smaller that will make me wanna buy extra lol. Hey kid,
I thank you specially, it’s like you know the feelings of my tommy. I finished
my food which was deeply filling. I can’t say much about the taste. Sometimes
you get so hungry that your taste buds malfunctions and starts hallucinating.
I
played Asphalt 6 on my phone to pass the time while I sit out the rain.
Wondering, will this stop my visitor from coming? The sky finally finished
bathing this portion of earth's surface. I walked home. I had a good sleep
before my guest arrived. We played catch up and also talked about good old
days. Ibe and his wife were around. They didn’t seem to have gone out today at all.
I saw my guest off around four o'clock. I couldn’t make call on my phone. MTN
must be having some technical issues. I had like N490 call credit and the thing
kept telling me 'your account is too low for this call...'.

Today is my second workers-in-training class. I woke up
and prepared for service. The starts by 7:00am prompt. I was late by a two
minutes, different watch times I guess. I got punished for it by staying at the
back of the class for some time. We read open heaven in the class. Service was
good but I was feeling sleepy again. What is the problem? It ended well after
all.
Only Amara was at home when I got back from church. She
was trying to clean the room. I decided to not touch anything in the name of
cleaning for several days now just to see how filthy they make the room and
still be comfortable with. Call it
observational research if you will.The bathroom has packed dirt like ''text-coat
paint'', everyday new cotton swab populate the room, also white toothpicks has
joined the queue, empty insecticide canister at one corner, clumps or clods of
attachment hair punctuate several corner, trash in the kitchen competing for
height with Dubai Burj tower, repulsive smell harshly greets you as step inside
the room (you might need a gas mask), etc. I was like, and God remembered me, in
other words and this room was remembered for cleaning today. I had to move one
or two times for her to do her cleaning.
After cleaning she left. I was alone.
I tried to sleep. But sleep wasn’t coming. In between my waiting for sleep to
knock me out, Ibe waltzed in. A few more minutes and I gave up the quest to
sleep and went over to Caesar's. They were home. His babe was in the kitchen.
We exchanged pleasantries and all. Caesar as usual invited me to play drought
with him and the unusual happened. I beat him two straight games and he
struggled to win the third. This is my first time of winning him at that game.
He won some more. We played ludo and he won a few times more than me. As we
whiled away time on different game boards, Blessing finished her assignment in
the kitchen. She served a delicious Edikan Ikong (Edikaikong) soup with semo. The soup was
very rich.
After we finished our meal I went home to change for the evening
football game. Normally I drive Caesar's car to the venue while he rides
bicycle but today I decided to ride bicycle instead. That was a good exercise
too. My side demolished Caesar's side 11-2! It was hilarious lol. On my way
back to from the game, I took an alternative route meant to avoid the toll
gate. It was my first time on that road. The scenery was awe-freaking-some! The
road was long and soo good and very free. It made my ride the most enjoyable
experience that evening. I returned the bike much later cuz of my little
detour. It was worth the while. I got home showered and had a very nice sleep.

Woke up early feeling good. Feeling pumped up. In the
meantime I had a whatsapp chat with Enque. She wants to visit her elder sister
at Ikotun who gave birth a week ago. I asked if I can join her, she didnt mind
but I knew I wasnt going anywhere. Ikotun is freaking far and the traffic is
murderous. I did my devotional. I wanted to attend Sunday school today in
church so I prepared for church early. I had promised to give or should I say
lend Chioma some money today, she asked yesterday. We agreed to meet at my bus
stop anytime after 6:30am since she'll be attending 6:30am mass at the Catholic
Church at my bus stop.
She changed her mind and thinks its terrorism to let me
know. I sent whatsapp messages, no reply. I called countless times before she
picked telling me is still on her way at around 8:39am. Im so pissed off. Now
I've missed sunday school. She came at exactly 8:55am. She knew I was
hyper-pissed off. She apologised and
apologised and apologised but I wasnt really smiling. I went to church
afterwards. It went well. Seriously I need to tame my mind from wandering to
naughty things atimes in church. I answered an altar call for workers. I have
always wanted to work in the church in some way. Today I took a bold step
towards achieving this spiritual goal. We had a workers-in-training class after
service. I kinda feel good. I dropped a sizeable tithe so I feel good about
that too. I took the workers form and went home.
I prayed for alot of things, alot of people, alot
situations, etc. Before I got home I told Enque I cant make it to Ikotun, few
minutes had already passed 2:00pm. And she has been there since 1:00pm. Oh it
wasnt meant to be right from when I made
the plan. I knew the outcome, talk of seeing the future. I rested a bit a home
then my feet found there way to Ceaser's place. Noone was home there. I went
back home rested a little while then hit the road for Spa Supermarket. My
mission was simple. First grab a pizza from Debonnaire's Pizza, next head to
the office to pick up something. I went for sweet and sour chicken pizza,
standard size. That I did. I attacked the pizza like a fresh outta jail guy
whose has been sex tarved for years will attack a woman. Mission accomplished. It
was already late when I got home.

I woke up with a start, feeling good. Read my devotional
and prayed. I have feelings of immense and overwhelming success, peace and
bliss. I went to Victory Inheritance Ministry, Ceaser's church. There was one
wonderful testimony I heard that really moved me. The testimony in summary was
how an ordinary commission staff whose boss is very difficult and has spent the
last six months whining, complaining and trying to quit a job which she has
done since 2010, now got rewarded with manager training course in USA. The
embassy gave her instant 2 year multiple visas with working permit. Someone put
her name and she got chosen. She wasn’t qualified in any way. She wasn’t a full
staff nor a manager. That’s the power of God's awesomeness. After service they
held eagle's (they call the youths eagles) meeting.
We went to Tony's place at Isolo. They reception was
grand. His mum prepared wonderful delicious meals for us. She wasnt around when
we went there. Some of the dishes were already laid out nicely on the table. We
helped ourselves to some nice food. I have not eaten like that in a long time.
I thanked him from the depths of my heart for his hospitality. We all did. His mum
came in much later, she had to rest so we didn’t spent time with her. We left
Tony's house around 4:30pm. We dropped him at Dolphin Estate and headed home.
Soon as we got home we changed immediately into our sports gear and went to
Ikota school to play football. It was late we dint have much time to play but
we did anyway. To my surprise I got tired very quickly though I played till the
end. I sweated so much. What could be the cause? Ceaser usually rides his
bicycle to the field while I drive. The car refused to start at first, it later
started at its convenient time.
By the time we got home Ceaser was home as usual and
Doctor was in the house definitely because of Aver. This guy is married with
four kids but still pursues girls heavily. I find it very disgusting when men
cheat on their wife with multiple partners. I can endure cheating with one
person. Though the bottom-line, cheat is cheat. None is a lesser crime. I can’t
imagine myself doing that when I get married. I wasn’t really feeling myself.
This drummer called headache was pounding the left side of my head with 20 ton
sledge hammer. I just disinvolved myself from all the raunchy chats and plays.
Aver came so alive and overcharged with all the raunchiness going on. I just
tuned them all out like a station with nuisance program. Few minutes later
after I had a cup of wine, I begged for my leave and went home. I showered and
zzzzzz instantly.

Woke up. I lazed about in the house before going to church.
Everybody went to church today. I went to Redeem my church, Ibe went to The
Dome in Lekki and his wife Amara went to a different one. We all went to
worship God almighty, same destination different paths. For some reason I was
so sleepy in church unlike me. Does it mean my body is yet to make a full
recovery from the sleep I denied it yesterday after the Saturday run in the
morning? Ok body I will make it up to you somehow, just don’t embarrass me
going to sleep without my authorization. We had a church youth meeting after
service. We were only able to fix a date for youth fellowship meetings where we
can now tackle matters at hand like electing new exco, financing the viewing
center, etc.

Why Do Some People Go To Church To Disturb?
I got home and went catatonic in land of the awake as
soon as my back touched the bed. The only thing I was able to remove was my
palm slippers plus my watch. I wore one hausa attire, dont know the name but
its one of those annoyingly overflowing attire, lol. Yep I wore it. I slept
still wearing it. I had a real good sleep.

My Beauty Sleep Cruelly Denied Me Wednesday May 15 2013
Don’t know if it was a text from Suggy asking for the
address to my place that woke me. Is it telepathy or premonition because my phone
was on silent mode. I checked the time, it was about 45 seconds earlier. I
replied immediately. Later she arrived. I went out to buy her some refreshments
and she came with me. By the time we came back, Ibe and his wife were preparing
to leave to give us some space. By the way Suggy is just name pet I call her
and she calls me the same thing. We worked together at my former company Vectis
before the company shut down. That was when we developed a close friendship. We
had a good time catching up.

She came with extra luggage. She came with her laptop for
a PowerPoint lesson. Gladly, I taught her a few things about PowerPoint. We
talked about alota stuff. She left around 6:00pm. We strolled from my place to
the bus stop. I was wary of the dust cuz of my catarrh but I just left it in
the hands of the universe to keep me safe. We kept in touch via text messages
until she was home safely.

Woke up. Went to service. Felt so supercharged at service today. It was explosive. I'm glad that I went. I haven't missed service this year. I want to keep it up. I even want to increase my church activities. One of my new year resolution is to be more spiritual in christian sense.

The Spirit Releases Potentials
Went to Caesar's place after service. Caesar is a good friend of mine. He is a voracious reader. He reads more of thought provoking books, controversies, etc and less of novels. In short there is so much to this guy. Stayed a while then went back home. I haven't eaten yet. I'm very hungry. I took a nap got woken by a call.
Oh yeah its 3:00 pm, first meal of the day just got served, white rice and peppery stew. I'm thankful for the meal. Actually that's why I went home from Czr's place though they are preparing food there too.
Went back to Czr's place 4:30 pm so we can go play football. Don't get it pleasantly mixed, we weren't on the team of Super Eagles that was billed to play Burkina Faso in the ongoing AFCON 2013.
I'm very health conscious this year. One of my new year resolution is to stay fit and I achieve via Saturday running and Sunday football. Healthy lifestyle is a combination of a healthy diet and a healthy living in terms of exercises. Health benefits of these two is lasting.

The super eagles later went on to beat Burkina Faso and win the championship. Bummer I dint even watch the match. The shout of celebration on the streets when we won was indeed deafening. PHCN that is known for being effective in not supplying power was ineffective today, as they supplied power before during and after the match. I've always been proud of my green white green despite all the shortcomings.
