The sitting formation was 2-3 . The driver and my in-law sat in front, myself, the baby, and my cousin sat at the back. The car was ready or so we thought, we zoomed off. My in-law recalled that he wanted to change the tires of the vehicle, so the driver drove to “ladipo” were he had a reliable tyre dealer there. The tyre seller got down to the business of changing the four tyres, then we noticed that the battery was weak, cause the vehicle couldn’t start. I took a bike back home to get another battery. Well, finally the tyres were changed the vehicle was reloaded with our belongings and then we started the journey….. Sorry, we then went to the car alignment center where we had to align the tyres, after waiting behind a queue of vehicles we did ours and then started the journey. |
We packed all the loads into the boot of the car including the programs that were to be used for the burial ceremony, and before I knew it the car was literally almost touching the ground. Adding my weight and my cousin’s (because we are on the high side…. you get!), the car was under a lot of stress. Well, our duty was to sit and enjoy the ride, wasn’t it? ![]() |
To meet up with time, I arrived at their house on Tuesday evening with my belongings, looking forward to a good trip (……I was so wrong!). The driver that was supposed to be our “pilot” arrived on Tuesday with a not so smiley face, in mind I was like who face help, as far he is able to deliver… ‘to your tent o Israel’. We retired to our beds after my in-law had a back and forth with the mechanics which lingered into the night. By 4am the driver had woken up and was set for the journey, I woke by 4:30am after battling with sleep and coming out victorious…, my cousin (aunt’s step-daughter) didn’t sleep at all, she was packing and unpacking both hers and her brother’s clothes……to cut the story short, we were ready by 7am. I will continue if I get favourable reviews and comments ![]() |
The wake-keep ceremony was held in Lagos, those who could attend attended, the program went smoothly with the pastor lighting up the mood with some witty remarks added here and there. The date for the burial was slated for 28th of December in Abia state. We prepared ourselves for onward movement to the village. ……. she was survived by her husband, two sons (one in the university, the other a toddler), her step-daughter. I made arrangement to travel with the husband, the step-daughter and the toddler (of a year old). The car in which we were to travel in was undergoing repairs at the mechanic’s workshop. A date of the 23rd of December (Wednesday) was slated for departure. |
What do you mean!!!...? Don’t say that!!!!…. No!!!, I heard my mum shout from her room, she was speaking over the phone with her sister’s husband, who just broke the news of her death. The bad news was a rude shock to everyone, I was shaken by it. The mood for everyone both home and away was one of a sad…, really sad one. I wouldn’t want to dwell on much preambles, but this incident heralded the worst journey I ever embarked on. ![]() |
Nice and well detailed write up, apart from what you learnt on google is there anything you were taught? |
Call it fate or coincidence, I will call it a MIRACLE, Prof esimone and the wife, after a long wait for a child, was visited with a son two or three years ago, but he said he was assured that he was to have "children" ......in short no need for long story..... I am so excited to announce the arrival of two boys and two girls to the family of the esimones!!!!

the young shall grow |
they are not qualified to lead the protest my thought though |
wicked say no to polygamy all i see is boiled face |

i have noticed not once but more than twice how women insult,ride and belittle men with low income especially between married couple, this calls for all men to double their hustle to avoid them losing their home because it seems the women of nowadays are only interested in the money. well i stand to be corrected |
this is nice thumbs up to u |
wow so much colour she dare not enter under the rain |
Oga u must not disagree with him because he is a pastor |
most people are enduring Christianity,some are just wearing the tag "christian" but truth be told we are suppose not only to enjoy it but have the power also. and the only answer I repeat the only solution is to get baptised in the holyghost we need him ,once we have him then are we ready to reach out for Christ |
note when Jesus spoke to Paul nobody told the Christians in the bible days that he had an encounter but ours seem to be different .....if truly he met with the Lord there must be a change in his life if not I doubt |
all said and done I love the way in which the man described "dragging of bread with rats" |
