Before going to bed, i had to eat something. I
opened d fridge nd yes, all d
things in my fridge had turned to block; d light
had been on for 8 years
without going off. I finished eating nd went to bed.
Oh I ve to reduce d speed of this fan, d voltage is
so
high. I woke up
very early in d morning to
d sound of classical music. I casually strolled into
the bathroom. Oh! The coldcold
is too much this morning, i turned on d hot-water
tap. While towelling myself dry, i turned on the
radio
and heard the
presenter speaking of
how Nigeria is now one of the most developed
countries in the world and
how d Nigerian president yesterday declared his
asset and all he had to boast of was N20 million
naira
and a duplex in his
village. I finished dressing
up and took my time to eat. I had no reason to
rush, afterall the road is
always free and there are nopotholes. On d way,
i saw a few policemen patrolling and I greeted
them. I
stopped to chat wit
dem 4 a few minutes
after which i drove off laughing. In my workplace,
i saw some people
loitering in d waiting room nd discovered dey
were here to be interviewed.I saw d son of the
permanent
secretary. I also saw a young
man with tattered shoes nd patched-up trouser;
he graduated recently
from one of d government universities, but
everyone could testify to the fact that he's brilliant.
While going home that
day, i saw the man with d
tattered shoes smiling and i asked him why. "Sir,
i've been given d job."
"What! What of the Permanent secretary's son,
didn't his father call beforehand? No " man said,
"He
didn't" That
evening, i went out 2 play in D
neighborhood, i saw Adamu and Obinna
discussing d recent trend in the
country, of hw Mallam Danjuma is now D
governor of Rivers state, Senator Abifarin
Oluwafemi is
now d governor
in Borno state, Mr
Chijioke Godffrey is nw the governor of Oyo
stat.
Den I had a Mosquito
bite on my nose, as I slppd my face.I woke up
realized that I took large
dose of cough syrup...
