Its Sunday afternoon for a change i decide to go to Church, It was strange going to church because the Paster asked members of the congregration to give a testimony , low and behold a member of the congregation stood up and spoke about his bad experience In Nigeria  , he was about to be mugged, he was asked for his credit cards and so on . He said that one of his muggers asked if he was a Pastor or Reverend ,he said he was just  a church goer as soon as he mentioned church , one of his muggers stood back and said he was a christian , they still went on with the business of mugging, he was lucky enough to find someone to take him  back to his hotel. As soon as he arrived at his hotel he knew the good lord was watching over him and that the good lord had saved his life.

I was fuming when this man gave his testimony i felt ashamed and embarassed on two fronts , firstly i was the only naija man in the congregation and secondly i had enough about hearing negative stories about my beloved Nigeria.  I don't doubt the fact that this man had a bad experience in Nigeria, I had not been to church for four months why was it today that he had to mention about Nigeria. Its not by accident ooooooooooooo that I decided to attend church yesterday, he could have held back and not say anything, i thought wearing  my african attire , would stop him from saying anything or at least have some sensitivity. We have spoken together before so he knows am a Nigerian , anyway something got hold of me in Church , the pastor asked if anyone else had a testimony before i knew what was happening I was on the stage and i wanted to crack a few jokes to ease the tension of what i had heard , i was upset and i started by stating "my dear christian brother am sorry that you had to go through what you had to go through in Nigeria and that in every country there is always the good and bad bits" before i knew it everyone in church just stood up and kept clapping thEy gave me an applause. I THOUGHT IN MY MIND BUT I HAVE NOT CRACKED ANY JOKES YET LET ME FINISH. I was so moved I did not want to say anything else and left. Anyway after the service everyone wanted to say a few things to me I thught they were going to ask me about the speech hell no , it was more about my african attire, oh you look so nice , you look so good like a president.

lol, man you are silly

That does not make him silly. Funny yes, but silly no.
