I woke up a bit confused about what day it was just
because of the worker-in-training class of yesterday. I read my open heaven.
Read all the days I missed. I prayed and stayed glued to the bed. Oh yeah
today's Saturday and I’m supposed to run. I read a couple of emails about
rising cases of kidnapping in Lagos even in Lekki area and it kinda freaked me
out. One lady was nearly kidnapped during her early morning run right inside
Lekki phase 1!
I stayed on the bed and watched another Japanese anime called
Inuyasha. It was during this time that Ibe came in. He started playing a music
track of his. Then I just figured, he probably slept in the studio recording
that song. He was testing his handiwork. I have strictly minding my business in
the house, not really talking to anyone unless I absolutely have to. But I
always respond when they talk to me.
There was no food in the house. I know he
is hungry. I don’t hungry like that. I went to Igbo Efon, by the time I came
back he has an empty pot in the middle of the room and asleep. I guess he ate
chiki-chiki noodles. I went to Shoprite, bought food and food stuff. I went to
the office, ate the food and slept a little. I came back home and prepared
eliché with fish and corned beef. That was we ate that evening and in the night.

Today is Good Friday for those of us who are Christians.
Today is the day Jesus Christ was crucified over 2000 years ago. It’s also a
public holiday in Nigeria. I love public holidays and bosses hate public
holidays. Our worker-in-training class was moved Easter Sunday to Good Friday
cuz there will be no regular church service at our parish this Easter Sunday. I
prepared early today. I got there early. The session was refreshing. After the
class I talked to pastor's wife regarding how I was dealing the untimely demise
of dear and near friend a year ago. It was hard for me to forget cuz I felt like I abandoned her. And she sought to hear my voice even to the point of death. My pastor's wife counseled me. What
she said was what I expected actually I just needed to talk to someone
spiritual about it.
I felt easy share it with her cuz she reminded me alot
about my literature teacher Mrs. Oyo back in secondary school. I enjoy the way
she teaches. Mrs. Oyo made me fall in love with literature. She has legendary
killer hips like Mrs. Oyo. She is fair complexioned like her. I went straight
to eat at Onye Mama's place. It’s like my kitchen and the utensils are
gathering dust and cobwebs, not much cooking activity goes on in there. That’s
why I resort to eating outside. I went back to the house and had a good sleep.
I was just like today is Sunday because of the worker-in-training class. Don’t
know how long I slept but when I woke up, I went to the only cyber cafe in the
area.
Their service is second to none in reverse. As expected, I couldn’t do
anything useful as their connection went offline. I stayed a while waiting for
them to fix it but in reality, I was just charging my phone. I went back home
and slept some more. I didn’t go out again. All this time Ibe and his wife were
out. Don’t know where they went to. Ibe came back dressed up and vamoosed. A
little later the wife came back changed into another dress and vamoosed. I
slept alone in the house.

I woke up really worried. I don’t even know how I slept.
I got a call late evening yesterday that today is deadline for registration at
Unilag. I don’t have the money. I had already written an appeal letter as advised
by my course coordinator. It’s a freaking dicey situation. If I don’t register
now and my appeal goes unapproved, I’m doomed. If I register and my appeal is
approved, then I will lose the fees I paid. Fees I will borrow to pay. I told
Hero earlier and he said he will give me N30000. I told Hero yesterday to
transfer the money for the time has come.
I called Charles and he said he is
broke but he wants to run around and raise N20000 for me. I went to work hoping
for a miracle. Charles came through shortly as he said. My boss came in and
paid me with a few thousands missing based on his promised increase. I told him
of the shortage and his answer was like this is the amount now. His reply to my
text sounded like he was going to give me N70000. He told me to ask Ifeanyi and
Chris for the balance. Now I’m waiting for Hero. I called Alo he said the
deposit has been made but it’s yet to reflect. Immediately I got the alert I
set out to Unilag. My heart bleeds for this money that I’m going to sacrifice.
I borrowed most of it, all because man's inhumanity to man. Im paying N106,000 because of one point/mark. Only God will judge Mr Ojikutu.
The bus stop was
full and no buses, the two variables I don’t wanna deal with now. I waited for
seemed like ages before I got a bus. Next was traffic, there's no escaping it.
I went Gtbank to withdraw the money and I almost fainted. They’ve been having
issue with their atm service for about 2 days now so they banking hall was
crowded! Not today now! Time check 2:39pm, time is fast ticking away slowly. I
had no choice. I had to join the queue and pray it moves fast. I mean the bank
was crowded wall to wall, in and out. The queue is like game of snake on Nokia
phone. The line crawled slowly till i cashed the N70,000.
As I was leaving I
saw a course mate who had issue with the same course as me. But has different,
a section of her answer script was not marked and she already scored 36. So
once they mark it, she is through. We had a little chat which reopened my
wounds regarding this MBA 804 issue. The school operated on a double standard.
They waved up to two courses for some people who wrote the appeal earlier. It
should set in black and white what they waive and do not waive. Some people who
have just one course will be denied waiver because they appeal or didn’t appeal
on time. What crap is that? The appeal itself takes awful lot of time. I don’t
understand why it will take more a month to process an appeal. I am boxed up in
my situation, its so unfair.
I went to Unilag and paid. I was misinformed on
the late registration fee. I went to the wrong office, and the right office had
already closed cuz it was past four o'clock. I saw Chris cruising down the
boulevard of Unilag. Obviously he is after them chics. I called him, he gave me
a ride to where I boarded a bus, we were heading different direction. I found
my way to Obalende and once again the bus stop has no room to swing a cat. What
is going on today? Buses are for some reason scarce. Once again I waited for
ever to get a bus. I think I waited longer than ever. My leg aches from too
much standing waiting for a bus.
While waiting on the centipede line for bus, I
bought a bottle of la casera cream soda. My body waited for finishing before it
started reacting funny. I decided not to drink it again. I don’t even know I
drank it. Finally the bus came. All of a sudden more buses arrived. Where the
hell have they all been? I got a space in the bus. As usual we went through the
torture of time killing traffic.
I went straight home. I stopped at Doc's shop
though he traveled to east. I gave Austin a glo internet modem I promised him.
I went straight to Onye Mama's joint to mark dinner register. After the deeply
filling and satisfying meal, I waltzed home. I showered and stayed outside for
a while for the sea breeze. I just love the sea breeze.

I woke early just lazed on the bed. My mind busy with thoughts
like a grand prix race. I need to start doing things differently to arrive at a
different desirable destination with regards to my present level of achievement.
As for my all months visitors, I’m just letting sleeping dogs lie. Is it a good
or bad decision, I don’t know. Sometimes I ask God, is this a test? Am I wrong
for doing right? Is it a curse that Im blessed with gentle personality? I read
my devotional.
I showered and left for work. I stumbled onto one chic I know
from way back. Way back when she was wayward, really wayward. She looked
different. She looked responsible. She is married. Has a child. Drives a car.
Owns a shop in the plaza I went to by something. This world is a funny place. It’s
amazing how someone's fortune can change immensely. We greeted and I left for
work. On my way to the office, my boss sent me a text, asking why I come late
to work these days. I didn’t reply. I got to the office and he was in one of
his office-rearrangement mode. We haven’t rearranged our office in a long time.
First we went out to buy a big white board did a few changes here and there.
When I came back I left with a carpenter to Akoka and the Tejuosho market. He
is refurbishing the cushions in the office. What a pain for me. I cut a key for
Chris so he wont have to wait for any of us. I had my doubt when I saw the key.
Well I have been cutting keys before and they look exact but none has ever
failed me. I headed back to the office via public bus. We were a
couple of feets above the lagoon on third mainland bridge when the tire back
tire exploded. I have not experienced this in a long time. One chic at the back
screamed 'Jesus'. Probably the only
'Jesus' and only exclamation. She went on to yell at the driver not to match
the brake! The driver wasn’t on top speed neither were there much traffic on
the bridge.
Her screaming started getting annoying, one passenger had to ask
her to calm down the driver is not stepping the brakes. The driver just
coasting to a safe stop. The lady was so scared, she couldn’t admire the beauty
of the lagoon like everyone else did. We switched buses. I branched at Shoprite
to get lunch even though a text from my boss said they have lunch for me. You can’t
be too careful you know. There was lunch for me alright, nothing wrong with
having extra. I tasted the key and jackpot! It didn’t work. That's a first. I
tried it several times, it was no use. I threw the damned thing away.

I’m up early. Maybe I will go to work early too. I’m
still waiting for Aero, Interswitch and Gtbank to reverse the transaction that
failed deliver service but succeeded in taking money. I want to write them
again. Aero staff has been on strike now, could it be the cause of the delay?
This couple has started piling candle wax on the speaker
shelf again. What is it with these people and their despicable tendencies to
mess the aesthetics of their environment. It’s so annoyingly amazing how they
are comfortable with the eyesore. It gets under my skin. And they say they are
not comfortable enough, I can agree to an extent. But I also can’t help but
wonder how dirty, messy, filthy, aesthetically tarnished the place will be if
they were ‘‘comfortable’’ enough.
I went to work. Again nothing much to do. I
went to Access Bank to rectify a transaction issue. We believed we left N189000
with the cashier to deposit in a new account that was being opened. Since the
account number was not yet assigned and my boss was in a mad rush as usual, he
was just hurrying the process by leaving the money with the bank to deposit
once the account is active. The cashier even filled out the teller for him. So
when the deposit alert came it was N181000. Howcome? We left N189000, what
happened to N8000? A tough situation I might add. They was no proof of giving
the bank that amount. The bank did its investigation and trust the staff
involved for meticulous work ethics. We on other hand was certain of the
amount. Obviously there's a mistake somewhere but where is it? My boss they
must give him his N8000.
On my way back to the office I bought spicy porridge
yam and fried sweet potato from Shoprite plus a bottle of fanta. I need it.
Earlier in the morning I went out with the driver to pick a few items for the
office, Ify came in with domino pizza. They devoured it without remembering me.
When I was eating my lunch my boss complained about I bought lunch for just
myself not giving about the rest. In my mind I was like, do you really wanna go
there?
Finally the staff involved paid
the money. My boss later asked her to take back her money. He just wanted them
to take responsibility, that a customer's money disappear without the person/s
involved not paying for it

Sometimes, inventions are dull and sometimes, inventions are complete head-scratchers. The seat-belt t-shirt is, quite simply, a white t-shirt that features a black strap running diagonally across the chest. It's meant to fool police and road safety officers into thinking that the driver is wearing a seat-belt.
This is so convincingly looking like the driver put on his seat-belt. Seat-belts are meant to save ones life while will go to great lengths to avoid putting it on?
