I try my possible best to always keep to my promises. I told you I will keep you all abreast with all the happenings despite wherever I am. I left Lagos yesterday for Abuja, it was quite a pleasant trip but not the very best, from a friend's house straight to the airport only to find out my name was not on the system but by God's grace they were able to put me on another flight without paying a dime.
We started our trip down to Abuja by 1830hours. I had my copy of A-Z life lessons with me, I had never finished the book earlier due to my laziness and waka about Lagos. I decided to read a few pages and take a nap cause it was a one hour flight but I just couldn't stop reading, every damn page was electrifying and got my eyes glued to the book and my brain at work. Everything just seemed to be going fine but you know what happens when everything is going fine...
We landed at the scheduled time, at the arrival section of the airport I ran into a classmate who I had seen in Lagos but she was panicking so I did not bother to disturb her, we chatted till my leather suitcase arrived with guess what? An animal's bottle of honey had broken and soiled up my whole suitcase. Africans need to change their ignorant attitude, asin must they carry unnecessary load can't they just buy stuffs when they get to their destination or simply do without.
As we were taught in Project Management by my project supervisor: when every thing seems to be going fine check it there has to be something wrong. As I got to the house I rushed to open my suitcase and can you imagine some of my clothes were stained especially my white towel jeez!!! Bloody Africans.
I overslept, 0630hours I was meant to be awake to follow my dad to transcorp hilton for some aerobics with some aged people, at least above 50 years of age but Reme was still operating with the Lagos style having a lazy saturday morning sleep. My dad did not even bother me again after one try of waking me up to join him, poor him he had to go alone because mummy was not even ready to go with him that early.
I must confess I love my friends, before midday they were ready to take me out. Na wa o waka don start again, as our Bishop said a lizard in Nigeria cannot change to an alligator in any other country. Both of them came up greeted my parents, had a little pep talk from daddy and mummy as usual and we were good to go. We first of all had to go and pick up another friend and our journey began. An argument started where we should go Gwagz or Silverbird, you know my own is just to follow, na dem get the town. We ended up in silverbird then ceddi plaza. We just chilled and then off to Ibiza for the football match, you know some drinking has to be involved if not you dey dull yourself. Its a pity the pretty girl couldn't chill with us because smoking was all around the centre in fact my t-shirt was already stinking, don't worry I know smoke o, ex-asthematic patient you want make I kpa. She just had to leave we the men there after a brief stay.
The night had come, it was time to run home but we had one more stop, the shawama place. After that it was hit and run home because the rules here are different, no late night hang-outs. In Lagos I leave as a bachelor I am free to do as I please but over here am treated as a baby, fed nothing less than 4times a day remaining small I will be taking breast milk...lol you wouldn't believe it I got home before my parents just 5minutes earlier, but as I mumu reach I did not take off my plims, my mind was in the stuffed up fridge when my parents walked in and mummy caught me that I had just gotten back, she gave me her famous dirty eye and went into her room,daddy didn't say anything men always understand themselves at least I am more than one year older than a teenager.
I must confess the thought of being in a town far from some people makes me miss them so much. I love you all, I am sure you know yourselves in fact I will just name them nahh just the first letter of their names:B,T,T,S and my immediate younger sister, I miss and love you all, I will soon be back. I am sure you know the truth some friends are just screen savers I don't want to go into that now. Anyway I just pray I don't leave this town without seeing my runaway love and yoyoB...lol you know yourselves sha. Time to sleep, I told you before everything in this town is different, church is by 0630hours so I have to be up early I no wan they nod for church.
