Well I think it's the economy that is bad that's why people who are well over 30 still depend on their parent.

How I spent my holidays and my goals for 2020

Holidays are meant for fun and being productive, and my holiday began with me and my chicken. If I could, I would title the essay "chicken chase" or "window escapee".

Of all the animals in the world, I am of the opinion chickens are the most notorious birds. Lousy birds that are quick to eat our poultry feed but quick to shout and call the villagers attention whenever their laps are needed as food.

Oh! dear chicken, very foolish chicken! Squawk all you want. You are soup and "soup is you". Chickens! Greedy thieves quick to lunch their throat like a shuttle over my unfinished meal if I mistakenly rush into the house to pick my mobile phone.

If God helps you and you intend to pull your trickery into kidnapping them, they will eat your corn and still call the neighbors on you, make a big fool of your gimmicks and never bid you bye in a polite manner. Bunch of sorry feathers.

On the 20th of December 2019, I was saddled with the responsibility of buying two healthy strong chicken. One of the two chicken is meant to be a gift to my grandmother. I was asked how much it would cost and I inflated the price.

I was given 8000 to buy two.

When I got to the market, I went to the major section where chickens were sold. After walking the length and breadth of the market, bargaining with the old women and getting scorched by the sun, I decided to sit and drink pure water.

You see, I had budgeted buying a soccer boot from the 8000 so I need to see if I could get Chickens cheaper than the planned cost. Alas! There was this chicken, bright red feathered and breathing with all its strength because of thirst. I felt pity for it and asked how much. We bargained for a while then I paid 1,800 each for the red cock and another cock too.

I was happy with my bargaining skills, little did I know I must have bought a cock probably stolen form a herbalist's confinement or possibly a red chicken meant for sacrifice. You are wondering how I got to know?

On my way home, I bought corn and millet mixed together, held it in a separate nylon and the birds too in a separate nylon only for the red cock trying to beat the other chicken to death. It kept stabbing it's comb with his beak more precisely than normal.

When I got home, the red feathered cock flew out of the nylon with full force. It's voice was very deep and loud. It was as if it was interacting with the wall and the ceiling in the parlor. By the time it finally decided to land, the foolish chicken landed on our dining table and broke two glass cup and a flask. The flask was bought even before I was born and we always treated it like a relic.

It took me like a minute before I could snap out of the momentary loss of consciousness. I ran to the kitchen, brought out my mother's pestle I used it on the chicken. It became very gentle and sober. I didn't care if it died or if it survived any longer. If it died, I was sure it will rest in the abys of hell fire judging by the havok it had recked.

I was lost as to how to explain what had happened to my parent. I swept the broken object and kept it in a corner. Even through my over two decades in life, I have never broken anything with such impunity and reckless abandon.

After that traumatizing episode and much preparedness, me, my parent and siblings journey from kwara state to saki on the 23rd of December. Saki located in Oyo state and also doubles as my dad's hometown. When we got to my father's house we exchanged pleasantries and I had to kneel and close my eyes, while grandpa placed his hand on my head to pray. The chicken kept shouting all through as if it wanted to join in prayers or could it be it wanted to distort the prayers?

I offload the vehicle, I made sure the chicken was the last thing I carried inside. I kept it in one of the uncompleted bathroom and tied it to the shower. I asked my neighbors if there was a football pitch in the surrounding and they showed me.

The next morning, the eve of Christmas, I took my soccer boot and joined them to play football. It was all interesting and in fact I scored two goals. I was feeling like Wolverhampton Wanderers striker, Adama Traoré. I wished Nuno Espírito Santo was watching so he could sign me too on his team.

Anyways, towards the end of the football game, I got a sprain when a guy hit my leg from the back. I felt a sharp pull at the calf region and I knew it was time to call it a day. I went home limping wit no-one to carry me. Another day another lesson, I guess we are all on our own in life!

When I got home I was tired, exhausted and limping but dad didn't bother. He had tried convincing me to stay at home. He said I should prepare the violent chicken so we could use it to serve our guests.

Deep down in me, I saw that as an avenue to avenge our jug the chicken spoilt, coupled with the stress and embarrassments it had put me the through.

Gallantly, I walked to the bathroom where I had tied the local cock only to discover the place was empty. Shocked and perplexed, I shouted "haa! ". I saw the rope I had used to tie the cock dangling from the window panes. There was no net on the window to have stopped the "escapee chicken ".

Our local cock had jumped out the window and I had to start chasing it all over the village. From one bush to another 'mechanica shop', from one provision store to another. It was more like the game Temple Run. Imagine! A whole big boy like me, town personality, now chasing a stupid cock all over the village, what manner of rubbish is that?

It kept running and screeching and when it got tired, it was looking at me from a distance, I was looking at it too. It was waiting for me to take a step so it could run even though it was tired just like me.

Dear chicken, can we please quite this dangerous play and go back home together in peace?

One thing I learnt on the part of the bird, determination is everything we need to keep struggling no matter how tough and challenging life maybe. We just need to keep moving. The bird was determined, I was determined too and along the way the cock got so tired it went and buried it's head where an abandoned car engine was piled. A part of me felt sorry for the chicken but I immediately shrugged it off, "I mean not a vegetarian today".

During this same period in 2018, I wrote down my 2019 goals and I can't say I didn't try my best to achieve half of it. 2020 is already here and I am praying it will be a better year.

My very first goal this year that I want to achieve is to stop hesitating, postponing or delaying any decision. So far it's positive, it deserves every effort from me.

I am done with lackluster attitude, being slow to decide and contemplating too much than necessary. When you procrastinate too much life becomes more hilly and tedious to climb to glory.

Secondly, I am determined to expand my friendship and acquaintance. I need to "up" my networking. I want to make more virtual friends and real time friends, meeting new people that can be beneficial to both my career prospects, information and mental well-being. Meeting new intelligent gentlemen and influential people is top of my priority list this year.

Third on my 2020 goals list is to read a lot of books. Since that's one of the best ways to stay informed mostly about history and human development and society.

In 2019 I read a very low volume of books. There must be a change this year since I intend to start writing my own books too and enlightening others while making sales on Amazon among other platforms. Reading is an important way to gain knowledge and I am not going to slack.

This year, I want to realign my habits of being shy with boldness! I must improve my conversations with the opposite sex. I also need to start something meaningful if government employment isn't forthcoming or promising.
