My house is a simple one, It is a three-room self-contain. The biggest of the rooms is the bedroom/sitting room, one is the kitchen and the last room is the bathroom (without no tub) :} I haven’t even got the money to geta W.C. for the toilet. Well, anytime I am ready the bathroom will accommodate the W.C. to become the toilet/bath room, automatically.

Also, I have told my ‘Contractor’ – my landlady’s son who was a specialized bricklayer, I used to call him Contractor – to come and check the side window area of the sitting room, I want him to help estimate how many blocks and cements we will need so that he will help me erect and join another room to the building. This way I will have a standalone bedroom and sitting room.

I have been determined to start living under my own roof from an earlier age. 28 years old now. I leftservice 6 six years ago when I was 22 and I immediately parked into my first and only rented apartment at Ajilosun. It didn’t take a long time before I got a teaching job in a private school not far from where I lived then. I don’t have to spend money for any transport since I can trek it.

Despite the fact that I’ve found a place to manage at, my parents still kept sending some money and food stuff to me. I didn’t because I have found a petty job back-out in finding a reasonable job. I used to try all means to havea little savings so that I would have enough money to start up a business, but I couldn’t save much because my monthly salary was relatively too small for me to manage.

I was in class with my students one day when I received a call from my uncle. He’s not my uncle really but that’s what I used to callhim – he is my mum’s youthful boyfriend, my mum told me that they loved each other so much. I don’t know why they didn’t marry,anytime I ask my mum she would always close the topic.
And till now they never lost contact. He have promised to help me in finding a government job as soon as I am out of school.

He’s a senior staff of PHCN. I didn’teven study anything related to electricity but He’s an influential person and he said to help me tell his friends that he have a child looking for a job. The only one that told him to check back said he may help check out if the vacancy for post of NYSC porter.

I went to submit my credentials for processing.
Uncle clement is now calling to tellme that the job has been confirmed. I jumped for joy and I quickly released the stubborn students I asked to kneel down. Two weeks after the appointment, I resumed for work. My first week at work wasn’t easy as I have to do a lot of introduction to do. I begin to feel the joy of being a government worker.

I quickly got myself adapted to my new work place environment. My salary was not as huge as I have expected but it was really enough for me then. And I was able to easily make a savings that I was satisfied of.
Besides our salary, we used to have various seminars and for each seminar we were to go, we get paid reasonably.

With the helpof this I was able erect a pillar of abuilding. If not…
After my first two and half years in the Omolewa’s house as a tenant I already completed the little house I reside now. At least this building is a start point for me because I don’t have a car yet. By September or so, I will get a small car. After that I would be able to concentrate on laying the foundation of “My main building” house

In my church
everyman always come with his family on Sundays,
Usually in “Like Attires”
but Our Pastor is different
He had no wife, no children, nothing
Not because he didn’t want to
But because he have not yet found his “bone of my bone”

The wisdom filled elders used to meet frequently
to discuss various issues to help the church grow
Now, the latest topic is that of our unmarried pastor
It has been their conclusion to go and ask Why from our pastor
They've went to him two times now
but our pastor will always give them that one reply
“It’s not my joy to stay single,
but I have not yet seen the “bone of my bone”

The elders would hiss to him behind his back
Hating him
Calling him names like ‘adulterer’, ‘fornicator’..
Planning to leave the church for him, all at a time

Infact, like he had been frightened by this last threat
Our pastor one day announced
That his “God given bone of his bone” has been revealed to him
The elders mumbled in satisfaction
Expecting our pastor to announce who the lucky woman is
But he kept the situation a suspense
our pastor didn’t reveal it so soon

But after a lot of protests and disturbances
Our pastor decided to announce it
All eyes and ears are on him
Ready to be a witness of the great declaration
“My God has shown me in my dream who the “bone of my bone” is…
The woman God shows me is (breaks) Sister Kate”

In Our church that day
Our pastor couldn’t even check the daze
The whole lot of people
Who have been waiting for a pin to come
closer to their balloon, quickly burst themselves

“Sister Kate? That wore?” Mr. Ibrus asked
“Sister Kate? That prostitute?” Mrs. Jalingo commented
“Sister Kate? That useless girl?” Madam Jami added
“Is it not that same sister kate I used to meet at Royal Joint hotel?” Mr. Kabru bursted

In our church that day
No one was ready to listen to what our pleading and confused pastor wants to explain.
But, If only they were attentive,
They would have noticed it
They would have noticed that our Pastor didn’t even mention Sister Kate
It was Sister Faith he mentioned
But then, if they have heard it was Sister Faith he mentioned
The whole church would have wished the whole lot of Heaven
Could descend on him and destroy him – the sinner pastor

It is better they didn’t here him mention Sister Faith – ‘the beautiful devil’
Every member of the church know of her demonic characters
No man dare comes close to her
Or he would be lured to dine with her on the table of sin
And sleep with her on the bed of fornication

Why will God choose any of this kind of people for our pastor?
Sister Kate? Sister Faith?
the two bad figures in our church
Or did our pastor already have a feeling for them
And thus wanted to lie to us that he's doing as the spirit leads?
