Updates about my Journey

Good morning my dear friends all over the world. It is a good day today and I just don't know how I slept off last night and moreover, I was so tired to do anything online. I didn't even write my article to be posted this morning but here I am trying to make one.

I am sorry if I didn't visit your posts. I tried visiting some and perhaps, I didn't get to yours before the tiredness came into the picture. I hope to do my best today and I also hope light grant our wishes today.

Before I continue, these are my wonderful sponsors and I do hope you wanna check them out? Trust me, their articles are worth reading.

I have been planning my journey for a month because of the Redeemed Christian Church of God convention on August 1-8 and it's been long I visited the camp after relocating from our area to gaining admission and so on. And because I have a strong petition with my God, I decided to attend this convention with a strong heart and pure mind.

The day I have been waiting for to travel came and I woke up early in the morning and got dressed up. I boarded the bus going to Lagos and it was so expensive compared to what we pay before. Anyways, the transport fare was $5 (4 hours journey).

Even though the driver was acting sluggishly on the road, and thereafter, it was handed to someone to drive. Thank God for the safe trip.

I arrived at my friend's place and she was so happy to see me. We both gisted as she was waiting for me to talk. The first thing she asked was "Miss Busayo, who is the guy now? Anyone in the picture?"

I smiled and told her, no one but I am trusting God for the best. I immediately changed the topic because I don't want to keep on with the issue. Though it hurts but I don't want to be desperate searching for one when I believe God is working out something good for me.

My friend likes Beans so much and she already prepared something for us when she heard I was coming. She entertained me with this meal, Rice and Beans. I ate to my satisfaction and I thanked her for the meal.

After taking my rest, I decided to go visit our former landlord where we lived with my parents. They are so nice people, him and his wife. Anytime I visit this area, they would be the first People I visit.

I met the husband grinding pepper for a customer and I was given a chair to sit on. He was so happy to see me. After he was through, he came to me. Asked of everybody including my Dad. We both gisted and I got to know his children too are in school while the eldest just finished serving his country. I am so glad because his children were still in Secondary School when we were staying there. I asked for his wife and he said she went to the market.

I couldn't wait much longer, so I told him I will come back to greet his wife. He gave me a cold mineral to welcome me and I thanked him.

I returned to my friend's house and she told me to follow her to make her hair. Her hairdresser is also my friend and we met when I was working as a teacher. She is the cleaner of the school and we were family then. I enjoyed our friendship during that moment.

This is our friend, the cleaner. She is older than us and we do give her the respect. She is a Muslim and has two children who also attend the school where I teach. She told me her first son has graduated from Primary School and going to Junior School. I was so happy because I taught his son when he was in Primary one.

My friend would be getting married this month and she came to make her hair before travelling to Abuja for the occasion. They begged me to come along but I told them I wouldn't be able to go but I promised to come for the registry in Lagos.

This our friend (cleaner) decided to matchmake me with her friend. Lol

When she heard same thing about me, she was surprised and told me one of her friends is looking for a wife. I laughed when I heard it and was like "has my condition gotten to that extent of matchmaking me?"

I had to tell them the truth about me. I said, God isn't fed up about my situation. Besides, the man God has for me may be somewhere too praying for his wife. Perhaps it isn't time for God to bring us together.

My friend (peace) the one I am staying with started advising me. "What if this guy is the one?" "What if you can bring this guy to your taste?" "Miss Busayo, he might be the one" etc

I laughed and they saw in me that I wasn't interested. Along the way, I didn't know this friend (cleaner) is already chatting with her so called friend and the guy called her and told her to give me the call.

I wasn't in the mood to talk to any guy but they kept telling me to atleast talk to him. I had to collect the phone and we both talked. We greeted ourselves and told me to collect his number and flash me. He would call later in the night as he was still at work.

I dropped the call and asked for his picture. At least I need to see who I want to go into relationship with. Lol

Truth be told, I am someone who selects and wouldn't go for something that isn't my taste. 😅

When I saw his picture, I found out some things about him.

Number one, his hair was kind of a tout or this area boy

Number two, he has a tribal mark on his face. Does that means my children would have those marks? No no no😅😅

Number three, he isn't someone of my taste. He looks like one who would always drink alcohol and moreover, he is a Muslim. That is one thing I can't go for.

Though, I understand religion doesn't matter in relationship or marriage, love isn't enough also. What if he is a man that would always beat the hell out of me when he comes home drunk? What if we don't understand ourselves? What if he ends up marrying a second wife? I don't want such thing for myself.

I jokingly asked my friend if the guy would be patient to cope with me? My time is always on my phone and I don't want someone who wouldn't be able to understand my passion and goal especially as a writer. They both laughed.

I didn't collect his number and he was already disturbing my matchmaker. My friends noticed I wasn't interested and so we closed the chapter.

We got back home and I helped my friend with her traditional wedding's outfit. She was trying to add stones to her native clothes

We spent over an hour doing that stuff. It wasn't easy though but I just had to help her so as to relieve her. We finished everything and it was already getting late. She prepared dinner and we ate.

We both went to sleep as I was so tired to do anything online. In fact, I woke up the next day again to do some other stuffs till in the afternoon and it really took much of my time online.

This was why I couldn't meet up with so many articles. Please bear with me. I still have some days to spend here and I hope to do my best.

Thanks for reading.
