School has resumed
I still cannot believe we are back to our normal saga lives after the holiday, but the break is short, why can´t it be long like giving us two months break? Everyone came home for the celebration but they have started leaving one by one. My school resumes today but I am still in the village. I already planned leaving today but I changed my mind because I am enjoying village life especially the electricity. Light doesn´t go off here and if the light just go, there is generator and someone is at alert to put it on but we feel we are stressing the person because before he gets back inside, we would shout, "light has come o" Mama is already missing those who already left. Well, I just might take my leave soon because tests would be coming up this month and getting ready for my final exam in February. I already told my cousins I might come back to the village when I graduate and finish my project, they were happy too because they won´t have anyone to talk to except my Dad and Grandma and of course, what will they be talking together with oldies?
I was pairing the room with my immediate younger sister but she already left yesterday which makes me feel lonely and perhaps, it made me kind of sick too coupled with the stress I had. I have been working and not give myself rest since my sister brought me the laptop. I never allowed the poor system to rest, as I just keep using it. I am just enjoying the electricity because when I go back to school, I still cannot guess how many times I would use it because there won´t be enough light to charge it, and I am already becoming used to it engaging online.
Seriously speaking, it is better used than phone as I can do many things at once on it by opening different browsers too. Though the phones also worked but not as using a laptop. I only use my phone to chat on Whatsapp and Discord. I still can´t believe I would be active that way on Discord as I did since last month December. The Lappy has been helping me multitask too. So, it might be funny if I won´t engage much without my system because I just need to let my phone rest too. Besides, the phone has really tried so let it rest and chill. Lol
I was in my room last night when my brother came to gist me that they have kidnapped a family yesterday and they are known by my Dad. My dad said the father used to come and repair Grandma´s car every time and he is also famous, perhaps that was why he was kidnapped with his family, and to make matter worse, they demanded the ransom of 20 million naira for their release. Can you imagine? 😂 I can´t stop laughing when I heard such amount of money. Where do they expect them to see it? The man is just a famous mechanic who knows how to do things and nothing more. I told my brother, they will be released if they didn´t see the money if they do not kill them. That amount is insane! I just hope they don´t kill them.
This made me remember how one of my uncles from another relative lied of being kidnapped when he wanted money from the family. His attitude to us has been so bad and he doesn´t have any good record except that he carried and took care of I and my siblings when we were very little. Ask me what he did? 😂 Carrying us to the toilet, washing our bumbum and feeding us 🤣 When we grew up and would be talking to us especially asking me to wash things for me which I know he is so lazy and dirty, if I do not do it, he will refer back to the past which I will snub him immediately. When my family heard of his cunning way of being kidnapped, they had to tell him, "the family has no money." After few days, he was released and till today, he never called any of them. Lol
Okay, enough of my random talk. I was actually out of ideas and I needed to write something which I woke up at 4am trying to find some things to combine together to form an article. Isn´t this an idea too? If you actually read to the last part, thank you so much. I am so grateful.
