Sacked for Good Or Bad?
This is a True life story.........
Jones left His comfort zone and decided to go as far as Lagos, Nigeria from Jos, plateau state to hustle, start afresh and make it big in life. Arriving Lagos he squatted with his uncle, not having what to do he resulted to labourer work and ends 3k daily, Jones needed money and so he cuts grasses too so the money will pile up to a reasonable amount.
Jones does not frequently get even the labourer work or grass cutting, and gradually starts becoming a liability to his uncle who never foresaw him staying that long and without earning. Jones resulted to looking for a security job that has an accommodation just so he will leave his uncles house and the troubles it brings. The harder he tries the harder it gets in finding a job.
Jones stayed for good 6months without a job, even the security job he has so hunted, finally he got someone who was traveling home for Holidays in December to stand for till the person returns. Jones gladly went with the hope he might get his before the person is back or immediately the person is back.
Just as Jones thought, he got his own security job immediately the person returned to take back his job, Jones was lucky because he got the kind of security job he wanted, which gives him weekends free, and so he planned to gather money from the security job and start a driving school to take up Uber instead of being a security, as it is not for people with vision and lots of responsibilities.
But Gradually Jones becomes comfortable with his security job because he was treated well and taken good care of by the Law Firm he worked for, so he neglected saving and enrollment in driving school, little did he know his boss was planning for him.
On a faithful day, mid of the 4th month of the year, Jones was called to the office where he was told to leave the work. Jones broke down and asked if there was something he did wrong, but his boss replied " You have not done anything wrong to me nor other staffs, but my conscience pricks me everytime I see you by the gate, opening the gate for me. You are meant to be bigger than this, you have a bright future and what is a Great passion, follow your dreams and passion, this particular job is demeaning to you that is why I have releaved you of it."
"But I was not complaining, I really need this job sir" Jones said, but his boss replied again.
"I know you are not complaining, and that is because you have become too comfortable here that you have become lazy, keeping you here will only make you more comfortable and you will not be able to realize your purpose or pursue it, Go and discover yourself and become the great man you are destined to become." And so Jones was completely stranded without where to go, as his uncle has been recruited in the Nigerian police force outside Lagos state.
This Became The Beginning Of Jones Misery In Lagos.
QUESTION: Was Jones Boss right to relieve Jones of his work that way, without atleast a month's notice? And was his reason justified?
Why Does Your Towel Get Dirty?
Let us presume you had a good bath. Everything is clean on your body. Yet the towel gets the dirty, soiled look after a few days .
Most people might say, it's because the water used in bathing is dirty or lack of scrubbing the body well. But this few notes I have down might help as to why your towel gets dirty after a thorough bath.
Now, you’d think you’d be pretty clean after showering and soaking for an hour, right.
Then you go to a completely tiled room where there are some gurneys with waterproof mattresses. you lie down and the lady starts scrubbing with a couple of textured mittens and some kind of liquid. she scrubs and she scrubs. not hard or painfully, but she is thorough. then, when she’s done, you can get up and look at what’s all around the gurney before she washes everything. SKIN! PILES AND PILES OF GRAY DEAD SKIN. really, an unbelievable amount of dead skin in little piles all around and it all came off YOU when you thought you were clean.
It is because of the remains of dead cells which are not removed by soap. Most towels are slightly rough or are called turkey towels and these remove the dead cells by soft scraping. Towels are different in weaving from regular cloth. They have raised threads or raised lines criss crossing for giving that slight rough feel.
Sometimes we sweat immediately after a bath when bathing in hot water. This sweat and oil adds on to the towel.
wetness of the towel helps bacteria to flourish on them, unless the towel is dried in an airy or sunny place. This is the smell of rotting wet cotton as cotton is a natural fibre or organic matter.
Besides these some people leave dead cells with their sweat smell or their deo brand or perfume. That's why we can smell and tell who used our towel!
So all these add and creates an awful smell forcing us to send the towel for washing. No wonder hotels change towels everyday.
Even when we shower or bathe and scrub ourselves, we can’t do a really thorough job because we normally don’t soak in water for an hour before we start actively washing. So where does all of the dead skin that we DO loosen go? onto our bath towels, of course, when we dry ourselves. and skin cells are animal matter and animal matter decays, which is why if you never wash your bath towel, it will start to stink.
you can use a towel more than once, especially if you can dry it completely after each use. but every once in a while, please wash the towel in laundry soap and make sure all of the soap is completely rinsed out before you dry the towel.
Let Me also hear Your Opinion on Why Towels get dirty even after bath, as we all might have a contrary view.

Will Smith Vs Chris Rock.
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences in a statement issued on Monday condemned the actions of best actor winner Will Smith after the "King Richard" star stormed the stage and slapped presenter Chris Rock in the face during Sunday's Oscars ceremony.
"The Academy condemns the actions of Mr. Smith at last night's show," the statement said. "We have officially started a formal review around the incident and will explore further action and consequences in accordance with our Bylaws, Standards of Conduct and California law."
Earlier on Monday, The Academy Leadership "strongly considered" removing Smith from the Oscars telecast after the incident, according to a source close to the situation.
"Academy leadership strongly considered removing Will Smith from last night's broadcast following the incident. There were immediate discussions but the Academy decision makers were seated in various spots in the Dolby Theater and couldn't mobilize to make a decision before he won best actor,"
Smith apologized to the Academy and his fellow nominees during his best actor acceptance speech.
Following the ceremony, the Academy Awards tweeted a short statement about the on-stage incident that read: "The Academy does not condone violence of any form. Tonight we are delighted to celebrate our 94th Academy Awards winners, who deserve this moment of recognition from their peers and movie lovers around the world."
At least a dozen members of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, the organization behind the Oscars, met virtually on Monday morning to discuss a response to Smith slapping Rock, according to two sources with knowledge of the meeting.
The meeting was described as "heated" and "divided." There was no agreement on further action, according to the sources.
The dozen members who met on their own volition and are being described as influential and recognizable members of the Academy, including actors and directors. The group does not have any disciplinary power, but they are considered high profile enough that the Board of Governor's for the Academy could be influenced in any response they may have.
Some people on the call said the Academy mishandled the incident with its initial tweet. Others feel that the situation was handled properly and no further steps should be taken, according to the sources who spoke.
It's unclear if the Academy leadership is planning on meeting to discuss the matter.
***Was Will Smith Right To Slap Chris Rock On Stage Knowing Fully Well It Was A Joke??***
The Frustrations Of Adulthood.
It's so unfortunate how we all cried, prayed and wish to be adults sooner than usual just to escape the restrictions and monitoring that comes with childhood.
Right now I wish I was a child where all my needs be taken care of, every little thing done for me, I wouldn't have to go through this frustrations and lack of contentment, I would accept the monitoring and restrictions so long I'm free off this Adulthood pain.
The country alone has gathered and prepared frustrations for every incoming adult, I have to struggle with everything I have to get a job even after studying and obtaining the right to a job in my country. I also have to condone my boss's rants and complains and inhuman treatment just for a chicken change at the end of the month.
Month end I will still beg my boss to pay me after working and earning the right to my salary, after being paid, I find out the salary is not enough for me alone talk more of my family and every other person looking up to me for assistance. Will I eat or starve to feed the rest? My Pastor reminds me I have to put my tithe after every salary and I'm looking at my empty hands, everything is gone.
I pray hard to get a bigger job and bigger pay, but the bigger the job, the bigger the problem. I am still dealing with trying to wake early without my mom waking me after she must have made everything I'll need set. Or am I done with spending half of my salary on transportation? Or at risk of being scammed of the little I have.
Having a girlfriend becomes a heavy burden too, as you have married her before getting married to her. Yes. Your girlfriend thinks it has become your total responsibility to cater for her needs and even pay her school fees, that automatically has made you her father or husband.
I will definitely get married someday and responsibilities will keep increasing, I will start feeding my wife, then my children, then their school fess, uniforms and extra expenses... Mhennnnnn. I wish I was a child, but even childhood has its frustrations as adulthood. Every child wants to grow up and be an adult to escape childhood, every adult wants to grow young and escape adulthood, old age and subsequently death.
It is not clear which is really fair, but we must accept and embrace nature, and know just as the Bible says "there is time for everything under the sun" we can only try to do our best and live right when each time comes. Living each time to the fullest knowing it will not be there the next minute we turn and it can not be rewind.
Let us enjoy our adulthood, while they enjoy their childhood. No complains. Lol.
**Please feel free to drop other challenges of adulthood in the comment session, I'm sure I didn't mention them all.**

Finally Lost My Virginity.
I still remember vividly those days I was struggling and striving to break my virginity, those corrupt days my friends in school will be brought before the whole school and punished for having s**, and they will still not stop. So I wondered how it felt to do it, I was very innocent, at least in that aspect, that my friends kept making a mockery of me. Not that I don't want to do it, but how I was going to tell the girl I want to do it with was the problem.
I wondered what my friends discuss with their girlfriends that they stay together after school hours gisting for hours, and they wouldn't even want to go. For me I felt there must be something else they were discussing, it wouldn't just be their love matters, even if it was don't they run out of words or things to say or talk about? It kept me being curious as to how much of a talkative they were. I had to ask them, but the more I asked the more they laughed and made fun of me.
Not that I wasn't handsome, infact, girls at that time were madly tripping for me, girls asked me out, I was that dark handsome guy in our class, but I was so innocent and not socialized because of how I was brought up by my parents. Girls did all they could so I would go down with them, some told me they wanted to see if I was handsome inside just as I am outside, it really got to me and I wanted to show them the man in me and that I was really handsome inside too, but how will I start? How will I do it? They will still laugh at me because I wouldn't know how it's done. My virginity became that thing that taunted me, I wasn't prideful in it no more, I just wanted do do away with it so I would feel among.
It even reached a point my friends had to arrange a girl for me and said "*you don't have to say or do anything, just leave it to the girl, she knows what to do and how to do it. All you need to do is go and meet her" but I was still innocently scared.*
And so in my Ss3 I had planned to disvirgin myself at our extension classes for senior waec. I had plan with all zeal and confidence, that my elder brother was my tutor. Lol. I had a perfect plan to get disvirgined by one of my numerous crushes, but it still didn't work out.
Finally I gathered some courage after my secondary school days 17th October 2010, I will never forget. Went to one of the pharmacies, got myself a pack of protection, as if I was gonna last that long. Lol. It will also interest you to know I waited till everywhere was dark, walked to one of my female friend and crush, called her out as if it was a very important discussion, lol. And told her I would love to have s** with her, for the very first time in my life I was trembling and stammering but I just had to do it, wether she turns me down or not, I had to belong. And to my greatest surprise she agreed and we scheduled a place to meet. Under a big tree close to her house, she will see how to escape her parents while I wait for her under the tree.
And so I waited, it was just as if she wasn't gonna come as seconds became hours for me, but she finally came and I got disvirgined that night on the 17th of October 2010, 8:45pm.
I can never forget that night, and that girl that disvirgined me.
*Disclaimer: This story is not fictional but my true life story.*
Miss Koi Koi The Ghost.
This is a true Life story of my encounter with Miss koi koi back in boarding school.
I believe most of us might have heard the story of this woman (Miss Koi Koi) who was murdered and buried without a leg of shoe, so she comes out every night of the murder to look for her other leg of shoes. I had thought this was some scary stories told to scare us until my encounter with her on this dreaded night.
It was bed time after prep and every student in my hostel had gone to sleep including me, I was sleeping on the lower bunk while my best friend was on the top bunk. I can not tell the exact time but it was around midnight or more.
My sleep that night was so sweet that half of my body left the bunk and was almost falling, but I never mind because I didn't want to disrupt my sweet sleep and I was feeling lazy to adjust. Our room was properly locked by Two of our seniors who were our room prefects.
I had started feeling my head swell big from normal, as I immediately here footsteps coming from the door, just as you walk without shoe on the other leg and only the leg with shoe makes a sound, you know that sound that high heels make when a slay queen walks in to a quiet church. The only difference is this one gives a gap for the empty leg to land then the leg with the shoe picks up. I hope you understand?
I could feel her presence and smell but I can not move from my uncomfortable sleep at that moment, I dare not open my eyes, I struggled to remain hanged one sided and there she was seated by the edge of my bed. I began sweating instantly, I could feel her looking at me. She knew I wasn't asleep but she needed just a tiny proof to jump on me and make me her meal for the night. All I needed was just shift a little or breath hard and she has her proof, but I kept still.
It was as if God has come down from heaven to wage my other side of the body falling. My head had swollen bigger than I can explain at this point, then I began serious prayers in my mind, speaking in different tongues I don't even know. I had never prayed in my life the way I prayed that night.
And just like God heard my prayers, she stood up and started moving towards the door, I felt some relief as I was going to adjust with a thank you Jesus, just then she returned. It was as if she sensed me wanting to move, and this time she stood right above my head. I already gave up that moment because I felt she had noticed my silent movements. She stood there monitoring me till she felt like going, and God helped me I stayed like that till morning. I can not categorically tell you how God pulled me through but I know he did.
Everybody gave his side of the story of what happened that night, and people sleeping close to me attested she came straight to my bunk, I was asked by the school management to write a complete story of what happened that night which I did.
God really came through for me that night and since then I never played with the role of prayer in my life. Never!!.
Thank You For Reading My Experience Back In Boarding School, My Secondary School Days.

Life Of An Actor And Filmmaker.
Everybody has this mentality that an actor doesn't stress himself out, it is the most easiest profession and many of you will even insult any actor you think is not doing Well on screen, there is a saying that says you won't know what the other person feels until you are in his or her shoes. well, here are few things you should know about Actors and Filmmakers like us.
ACTORS ARE INTERPRETERS
To be a good Actor you must be able to interpret a character given to you, you are expected to bring a dead character to life, and you can only do that when you leave yourself completely and put on that particular character. For example, "you are a normal human being in real life but the script says you should act like a mad man, you can not act like a mad man looking normal, you must make anyone watching you believe you are truly mad without any suspicious traces. Anything little trace in your act that shows you are not a mad man renders you unprofessional completely.
You can attest that most times you watch "Patience Ozokwor" or "Kanayo O. Kanayo" you completely believe Patience Ozokwor is a wicked person or Kanayo is a real ritualist and you even tend to hate them forgetting it is a movie and it's not their real self's out there. Now that happens because Patience Ozokwor and Kanayo have played their role perfectly by bringing a dead character to life, so that gives you that real feeling without any traces of doubt.
You can also attest that most atimes you watch a movie and you see someone who doesn't interpret his character well, you get bored and even insult the person or change your channel, in most cases that person is either an upcomer or hasn't undergone lethal training. So you tend to see his or her mistakes and you even say " what is he even doing? I will do better than him self" but the truth remains, if you were given that role you would flop harder than him.
Most people refer to actors as spiritual people, well me in particular believes "Acting Is Highly Spiritual" because just like a ghost invades you and make you do what it wants, Acting invades you and make you do what the script says.
We also have 2categories of Actors.
A STEREOTYPE ACTOR
A stereotype Actor is an actor that is one legged, by that I mean, an actor who doesn't act outside a particular character, he or she remains confined to a particular Character, when you put her or him outside that character you completely see what a mess he is and you would completely hate him or her.
That is why it is perfect to watch Mr Ibu (John Okafor) in comedy movies than in serious movies, you would completely hate him. Most of this actors have understood their area of specialization and professionalism that they don't force Thier self out of there, they remain where they fit better and receive accolades. It's same thing with comedians, we have comedians who are actors and stand up comedians, when an actor comedian does stand up comedy for you, you hate him but when he acts it he becomes the best comedian for you.
VERSATILE ACTORS
Unlike stereotype actors, versatile actors can fit in any role, when I say any role I mean any role. They are good at what they do, You can completely without fear call Mercy Johnson, Genevieve Nnaji, Kate Henshaw, Ramsey Noah e.t.c versatile actors, because since they started and even now they can interpret any role given to them perfectly, without unprofessional traces and many upcomers look to them as role models.
Their versatility is what has kept them in the game till now, and Nollywood can not do without their likes, it still needs them to refer those upcomers to. Most directors and producers don't like to stress themselves with their money so they go for the best, which are the versatile ones because they will give them what they want without stress.
Now you should also know professionalism, Unprofessionalism and versatility are 3 different things.
A PROFESSIONAL ACTOR
An actor can be a professional and not versatile. Looking at the first example I gave about Mr Ibu, Mr Ibu is a born comedian, when he acts comedy you can NEVER leave a trace, But he can not act a serious movie. Because he is not versatile does not mean he is not a professional, remember I said, a professional actor never leaves trace, Mr Ibu is a professional Comedy Actor but he is not versatile. While and unprofessional actor is neither versatile nor professional. He is just on the fence. an actor can be versatile and professional, an actor can be professional but not versatile.
Watch out this space for Part2, we will be talking about the crew members and their relationship with the actors.
I hope you have learned a new thing about Actors today though.

Love Of A Mother.!
Mama was 20 when she got raped, I am the product of that rape. With pressures here and there, mama went through hell to raise me, advice was given that she should abort me and erase my existence but mama stood firm and strong with an undying hope I grow to become great.
Shouldering the responsibilities of a father and mother, mama proved all who were against my existence wrong. Mama believed everyone has a right to life as long as God has breath life in the person. But I was innocent, why the hatred? Why did they ever want me dead?
Apart from being a son of a rapist mama gave birth to me at 7months, I was premature to grace this sinful world, I was very tiny than a usual baby and so the community ganged up against mama.
You will not endanger our lives and bring this great calamity upon us because of your stubbornness. And so the chased mama away from the community.
Mama is only not an orphan but homeless now. I could be that bad omen everyone accused me of, I would cause her untimely death and cause her to not prosper. Mama never allowed such thoughts cross her mind, she loved and cared for me more than anything or anyone.
Mama's love is a pure example of God's love for us, though we are sinful He still loves us and treats us better than we deserve.
I still wonder how mama kept strong all those years till now, she always say to me, I am her strength and she would die if anything happens to me, though I am of a rapist, but I am not a rapist and so I deserve greatness and happiness just like everyone else. I still can not believe it was this charcoals mama sold that trained me to this age, mama has gone through more worst events and days that I can not share.
But here I am, all grown now, and mama is old now. Leaving mama all alone was a decision I fought several years to overcome, but I have to care for mama and I can not do that by just sitting and looking at her face, life out here is tougher than I expect, I can not fail mama cause she has gone through alot for me and it is only human and divine she reaps and enjoy the fruits of her labour.
Out here is just like everyone hates me, God resents me, I wasn't yielding as I thought and I need to care for mama. Mama will keep telling me to be hopeful and God will do it, I do not doubt mama but I need God to make it fast, as soon as possible, but mama keeps saying Gods time is the best.
I keep hearing how great a man I will become but it hasn't manifested. It's early Friday morning and I received a call that mama is no more...... I am broken yet confused because I had just been appointed in one of the biggest oil refineries. Just when mama should enjoy, she died.
I can not forgive God for being so cruel to me, He had planned this all along. But then I remembered mama's words and it was just as if she was right here talking to me.
"Do not ever blame God in any situation, ask for mercy and guidance, God never fails. He knows better what we deserve and will grant it according to His riches in Glory and His proper time.
THE END.

Mama Told Me
***"You are a different specie of human, your future is bright and your destiny has been greatly designed by God before you were even conceived. You are set to rule over kings and dine with honourables"***
I was so little that I could barely understand what mama meant, so I would just smile and giggle each time mama tells me of my worth.
Her words sounding like sweet melody to my ears, and gives me an unusual sweet feeling I couldn't tell. For a fact I couldn't understand what mama said didn't stop her from telling me and making me feel more like royalty, like for that reason she could keep telling me.
Till I grew a little older, mama's words never changed, not a single word from her sentence.
At that age I should partially understand what mama meant all along, I was her only child, it's only normal she wish me the best. I had friends in my school who had rich parents, so every break time I get intimidated by their big rich lunch boxes and even expenses after school hours.
Mama tells me how great a man I will be but she is not great, mama keeps ringing to my ears how rich I will become but she was not rich herself. Only if mama was this things she wish me, I will never lack like this rich kids in school.
And now plenty thoughts are running through my round shaped head.
One day, my rich classmate left his bag open in class and went to ease himself, just the right opportunity to take that 50naira that is almost fallen off his bag.
The next morning I was called before the rest of the students at the assembly and given several strokes of the cane because I had taken what was not mine, I hated myself after that disgrace and blamed my mother for everything.
"**Why are you not rich and great like my friend's parents? Instead you only wish me with words that might not come true, what if I end up like you? Without money and worth!! If only you were rich and great I wouldn't be disgraced for stealing in school".**
Now, that was the very first time In my whole life I saw mama cry uncontrollably, when I was a kid, she would cry in secret and lie to me smoke went in her eyes. She will never allow me see her tears.
*"I love you son, you are my only source of joy and happiness, your smile and laughter keeps me alive, I wish you well because when you are well I am well. I want you to have everything that I never had the opportunity to have..... I am sorry I failed you, but...... (She burst into uncontrollable tears again, and she never continued that sentence, I also never asked) I am trying hard to give you a better life according to my capacity, at least one you shouldn't forget in a hurry but the burden is too much on me, I know it shouldn't be an excuse because it is my responsibility. I am so sorry son" (she knelt down before me)*
I was so shocked, to see mama kneel for me, and not scold or insult me for stealing at school. She apologized when I should be apologizing.
Are we not in Africa anymore? Where parents rather take pride in beating their children and insulting the life out of them when they smell a little error.
Well, I will tell you a little about my mama before we continue with what later happened between us both......
TO BE CONTINUED..............

The Beautiful Imagination.
God has taken all the time, resources and energy to create one person more beautiful than the others.
*She has the smile of the sun, beauty of the stars, glow of a diamond and worth of a Gold. Her voice as sweet and enticing as that of the early morning breeze, her dance surpasses the leaves dancing to the sweet rhythm of the breezing breeze. She is soooo perfect for perfect, and yet God has Graced me with such beauty I don't deserve.*
I can not wait to make her mine on the alter, share the vows of life long bond and a kiss to seal them. I can not wait to play all the romance on the couch, the bed, the floor, the kitchen and most romantically the soothing flow of the shower. I will protect her with my life that no one could come near.
She will then ask me, "How many children would you want for us"?, 4beautiful Angels just like you, plus you 5. So that when I walk on the streets I will be called father of 5Angels" she will then nod in disagreement, "I prefer equal gender, but the boys will come first, we need men in the house not only to extend your lineage but to protect their sisters and us when we are old"
Then we will both start arguing and I will pretend to be vexed, and she will become emotional and say "Fine, 4 beautiful Angels it is" then I will sheepishly smile, and she will put her jaw on my shoulder looking straight into my eyes, then I will tell her how beautiful she is and how undeserving I was of her. But she will then put a finger to my lips and shoosh me.
***We'll both move closer looking into each others eyes as we fall prey to our magnetic and calling lips, and we'll both have the fun of married couples***.
It's 10years now and we both have achieved our dreams by the mercy and Grace of God, and we will both live happily ever after. Nothing and no one can separate us now!
Even in after life our love will wasp stronger, we'll have a better and heavenly marriage in front of all the Angels with God as our father. Even, a certificate of "best couples" will be given to us by God.
Now, I am disturbed by my best friend who has also come to invite me to his wedding, he has made me his best man as we both promised each other from childhood, but he could have waited a little longer before coming. "why have you chosen to disturb my beautiful imagination of a beautiful marriage and a happy life ever after" he then handed me his card, I had matched him with the lady he is about to wed. then I smiled and said to him "You have me to thank for this beautiful event" "ofcourse I have you to thank for eternity" he said smiling back.
The greatest shock struck me as I opened to see that my best friend is getting married to my Angel, he had broken up with his initial girlfriend.
*"I told you of my interest to woo this Angel, I was only waiting for the right moment. Why have you betrayed me?" I said to him,*
**"It's been 5years you declared your intentions to me of this Angel, and ever since you have been more silent than a grave yard, so I said to myself, we can not both lose on this divine gift from heaven, while you keep imagining a happy ever after life with her, let me make your imagination come through, I just had to shift you out of the story and place myself. I promise you apart from that every other thing you imagined will come to reality. With you by my side as my best man, at least you can have a glimpse of her and smell of her wedding perfume. That memory will not be easy to forget."**
*While I was having this imaginations, my best friend was already at the top of his game with the girl of my imagination, and I am the best man at this wedding*

A Dream In A Dream.
And so, I kept asking God questions, why He had to unleash the calamities of this world on me alone, someone should have gone through this while I take corrections from his predicament. Yes! I know it's me being selfish, but I am going through hell and I never signed up for this, Never! I wish I was rather dead than alive. Then I thought,
**"Who would actually agree to be an example for others"?**
Jesus left His Glory and beauty, came down to be disgraced, rejected and killed so we all might live in abundance, though He was without sin and blameless He became the first example.
"*Could it be God wants me to be the second Jesus"? Though I am sin "full" and blame "full". But He should have asked me first if I wanted to or not.*
It immediately struck me that I was full of complains and not apologies or regrets . No hands to clap, no eyes to see, no mouth to speak, but I have a mind to think and a knee to kneel, that is enough for the moment. So I would just ask for forgiveness in my mind kneeling and hopes He hearkens. I then moved my legs to kneel, again, my legs were numb, it was as if they were tied together. Then I gave up on everything.
"God has chosen to punish me with a shameful and agonizing death" I said to Him;
"*Finish what you have started, no use of tormenting me like this, make it quicker than quick for death is even better than me and hell even pities me and pleads on my behalf" I have heard and read that even my sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as snow, though they be red like crimson they shall be as wool.*
You said I should ask anything in Your name and You shall do it. I have been asking since morning and you have refused to answer me, or could it be that You have mercy on whom You Chose? Am I that bad a sinner that you chose to not have mercy on??
Then I received a hard slap that moved me from where I was, and my eyes were open. But I could barely see as everywhere was blurry, then I heard a voice say to me;
"You mumble too much, I will dispose of you and have my peace"
Then my eyes gradually became clear, behold hefty men with guns before me, they had kidnapped me,
**"i was kidnapped"??**
Then it dawned on me, my eyes were dark because it was covered, my mouth heavy because it was covered too, my hands and legs numb because they were tactically tied together. Everything that happened from the beginning were just crazy imaginations in my head or probably a dream, those talks with God was me mumbling, trying to say something with a covered mouth. The reality became very clear that I was kidnapped and became unconscious in the process.
"He has been mumbling and trying to speak since you left him with me, thank God you had to come back and put an end to it." said one of the kidnapper to his boss. Their leader then asked them to raise me up, then brought out his pistol pointing it right to the middle of my forehead..
**"After going through hell in my head, I am back to reality to face even worst, should I just go back to those crazy imaginations in my head? At least I wasn't dead, I was just handicapped, for what is about to happen is even worst, at least he should give me a chance to say my final prayers. I don't want to go to hell"**
Immediately I felt his bullet through my forehead and as I fall dead to the ground I woke up screaming, "Nooooooo"!!..... Then I checked my time panting with fear, behold it was 12midnight, then I said to myself;
**"This Is A Night That Should Never Come", thank God it was all a dream. A dream in a dream.**
*I am faced with the real reality now, lessons have been thought, voices have spoken, events have happened, it is now left for me to learn, so that when a night like that should come I will be ready without fear and questions.*
**THE END**

A Night That Should Never Come.
It's early Wednesday morning and I could hear noises of people getting ready for the day, I woke up to join in the busyness of getting set for work and other activities, "**but it was still dark in my room"** it was as if an eclipse has happened only in my room for it was as darker as anything dark. Then I asked myself "****should every morning not come with this overwhelming happiness and brightness that makes you feel alive to behold God's greatness and beautiful creations"?****
I then immediately felt to yawn, that early morning yawn that makes you lift your two hands in thanks to God for another beautiful morning, that yawn that makes you sing songs of Thanksgiving without words, just rhythm. That yawn that makes you feel strongly alive.... **But my mouth again was heavy**, I could still hear noises of a busy morning, so why is only my room dark and only my mouth heavy?? Has the time come that I pay for my unrepentant sins? Am I the only sinner? Why has God chosen to punish me with blindness and dumbness??
*God please give me a second chance to be a better person for I have sinned and fallen short of your Glory. Please 🙏 do not say it is too late for You are God by Yourself.*
At this point I remembered the power of prayer and the existence of God, I have been so occupied and busy myself with things that never mattered. I had replaced my prayer with unnecessary gist and gossips, I had forgotten the sound of praises and worship to God. I also remembered His generosity and love gave me the life I live, and even the life I live is temporal, and will one day be taken away.
Then I concluded, God has taken away my sight because it does not see what glorifies him and my voice because i instead gossip and say ill things rather than worship and praise him, and proclaim positivity.
At least I still have my hands, I could just sing in my mind, imagine God on His throne and just clap to praise Him. I then moved my hands to clean my sweaty face as a result of diverse thoughts, "but my hands again were numb. It was as if they were joined together, at this point I could also hear my neighbors singing and clapping in Thanksgiving to God Almighty, which was their tradition every morning. I had always picked a fight and warn them because it distorts my sweet early morning sleep, and their voices were as if they were right inside my head.
This time, I had wanted to join them not stop them, but I can't see, and I can't speak, and my hands again are numb. Then I began to cry bitterly, I could feel the ocean of tears in my eyes but not a single dropped.
Then I said within me, "**God, is my pastor your servant and prophet a liar? Because he always asked us to say, God is good, all the time, and His mercy endureth forever"**
TO BE CONTINUED........
Thank you all for reading, please feel free to drop a comment. I am new and willing to learn.
