#sth with his sinus

[irastayshome]

2am

Idris rarely gets much medical attention, among the 4 of us. Though obviously I get the least.. case in point an infected wisdom tooth thats been delayed and dangerously close to infecting my sinus and brain. But in the last 3 months, with all the whirlwind of things deteriorating, hospitalisation, slipping into palliative care, then losing you, our child has been coughing and coughing through it all without his mother attending to him properly. And now i’m finally seeing the full effects of it. Its been awhile since hes had the energy to race with his abang to the lift, or even to want to go to the playground. I thought planning a trip to Australia some day might be a good way for us to spend as a family, in light of all we’ve been through, and to remember you and your hopes for us travelling together again someday. But it was sobering to hear Idris say that he did not think he could go anywhere, because he did not have the energy to walk around in Australia. What do I do sayang.. at this point, any sane parent would have just demanded for a chest x ray done at KKH. But after everything u’ve gone through, I cannot somehow bring myself to put him through an x-ray. What if it increases his risk of getting cancer even more? But then again, what is the coughing IS a symptom of cancer and i’m delaying diagnosis and treatment? I wish you were by my side. I was always the hyperchondriac between the two of us, and at times it helped that you’d ask me to reign in my anxieties. I just wish you were here to tell me “its nothing lah yang. I had that too when I was young.” or something thats vaguely reassuring. But mostly, I just wish I am not alone holding him to sleep at night, wondering “am I doing this wrong am I doing this wrong what should i do what should i do” and recording numerous videos in the dark so I could capture how the cough sounded like & bring it to the dr to listen and confirm SOMETHING for the millionth time. I wish you could just show me a sign, like in a dream, telling me yang bring our son to get an xray right now he’s in trouble, or sth definitive. I’ve never been good at making serious decisions, though thats hard to believe after the last 6 months. I have serious fatigue from making hard decisions and i just dont want to deal anymore. I miss u yang.

Kamil Stoch is sick, so he isn't going to jump today :(

[monstrousfemale]

I'm cooking sth angsty and fluffy up again... Looking forward to making everyone suffer with me 😌

Here's a snippet:

Eddie smokes through sore throats. He smokes through bad colds, the flu, high fevers. He smokes like there's balm in that white cloud of stink, like it helps, somehow. His voice grows hoarse and broken and yet, Eddie smokes.

Steve is always watching from the sidelines, taking in the frustrating sight of a man who's already on the verge of hacking his lungs out, already bedridden because of a sinus infection with a side of the flu. Steve is seething, he's angry. He's tired of Eddie's bullshit. Eddie's immunity is in the gutter and the cigarettes and the weed cannot be helping.

I'm open to suggestions for cutesy or flirty scenes btw...

Brother Samson and Sister Debbie’s Story Continues

Sister Debbie says, "maybe you CAN CONVINCE him sire"...(July 26, 2013)

As interesting as d course work is, dure to its applications to d economy of d Island but yet, one shall need 2 study hard 2 grasp d teknikal terms, so dat those terminologies be @ one's finger tips in case of adhoc tests... Several assignments dat shall be typed, binded and submitted too call for master's students possession of laptop (lapy as students call it) and printer these days... I have a laptop bc of d kind of work dat i do in d office, but I do not have a printer, I have been borrowing a friend's but I have come to realize dat there is nothing like what one has, a personal possession and I have contacted my love of d need to get a new model printer dat can as well photocopy documents...

My love wanted to send money to me so dat I get a new one where I am, bc d university environment is situated in a place dat is more populous and big than our Island...I howeva contered his suggestion based on d fact dat

..fact dat I may not know d original and it is beta one buys sth that is authentic, original, even if costlier than buying fake. The worrisome situation is our land is dat some of those marketers/retailers will tell u dat sth is original n collect d exact money dat one purchases original 4m some1 but they shall yet give one fake. When one complains and or take d products back 2 dem, dey shall start giving excuses, dey would neither change d product nor refund d money back, bc dey shal say goods once bought and paid for canNOT be returned... I remember a horrible experience dat a course mate had recently, when he bought his lapy, he paid 4 original substance, but when d retailer gave him a sealed carton, he discovered dat it was fake...d battery can not last an hour...and d packages installed on d system are not d latest windows... When he returned it, d man didnt change it 4 him, he took d law enforcement agencies dia, but instead of d matter being resolved it got aggravated...

It became a bottlenecked situation...the situation was time demanding, with my coursemate wasting his precious time @ d agencies offices, when he couldnt withstand d situation any longer due to his academic work, he let go d issue, handing d case ova to God... Yes God fights, God vindicates, God judges, but b4 dat happens, d naive would have suffered, as d adage of our parents say, "ki ilẹ to pa òsìkà, ohun rere pupọ yo ti bajẹ"... So my coursem8 abandoned d pursuit of d case, and had to borrow anoda one 4m one of his friend's, pending the time he raises money 2 get anoda one.,. Since I am ignorant in d field, and we have a brother in our church in d island who is knowledgeable in such products, I tell "mai" lord dat he shd give him money to assist us in getting a good, radiant, durable and original one even if some token shall be added, it is beta dan getting something dat one wont use 4 a mth b4 it packed up...

My love had a contrary opinion, he thinks dat may be d luck of my course m8 n dat I may not be a victim as he was, moreso, according 2 him, some of dose brethren n close pp, dey sometym also misbehave, getting wrong things 4 some1, particularly wen dey see dat u r a believer, dey know one wont do anytin, 1 wont be able 2 harass dem...He said he remembered dat broda Johnny asked anoda broda in d church who was in2 handsets 2 help him get new n latest Iphone brand, but d broda got 4 broda Johnny a substandard product @ d rate dey r selling standard product and he even collected extra-changes, which broda Johnny readily paid...but when broda Johnny started using d Iphone he discovered how substandard d so called standard product was...It really pained him...he confronted d broda, but filmsy excuses were presented to broda Johnny....The written disappointments all over broda Johnny made "mai" lord 2 ask from broda Johnny what d matter was, and he narrated everything to "mai" love n how

...n how disappointed he was in d so called brethren, bc accordin 2 broda Johnny, dis is d 2nd of d so called christian broda that shall disappoint him in getting authentic thing. As he said, he, bro Johnny did not even believe dat dia is any Christian broda @ all again, and wouldnt venture to introduce any Christian member to any outsider lest his reputation be dented, damaged b4 such people. "Mai" lord said, he had to sit broda Johnny down and tell him dat we r in d last days, d perilious times and dat such shd be expected in d christian gatherings. My love said he also shared one out of d many experiences he had with broda Johnny. The experience he shared with broda Johnny was d one dat he said comforted bRoda Johnny...The experience he shared was dis...

"Mai" lord has a friend in 1 of d developed countries, d man was a citizen of dat developed country by birth and afta graduation 4m university, bc he and my love attended d same university 2geda and dey lived in d same room 2geda while in d schl it was den dey started their friendship...Having studied each oda closely...d man knew "mai" lord 2 be a True Christian and noticed dat my love had not changed 4m his once profession as many were even despite all problems...So, "mai" love's friend intimated him dat he wanted 2 have a building in d Island n he shd help him out...Mai love said he connected a christian broda who is an engineer with his friend so dat he helped d man, but dis christian engineer duped d man, did shoddy job 4 him it took God's intervention 4 d man in developed country 2 trust my love again, bc he thought dey connived 2geda 2 dupe him. The structure built by d engineer had 2 be pulled down when d man came home 2 inspect d building n he asked "mai" love to make sure he

...sure he gets local pp, unbelievers if dat shal be d case and be supervising d project himself...dis was afta he was convinced dat "mai" lord had no premonition of all dat d so called christian engineer did 2 him. The house dat local pp built was as if it was removed/plucked 4m developed country n became situated/placed in our Island. This was when my love's friend became happy. With dis shared experience, d man, broda Johnny became happy n my love was able 2 tell him dat dia are real believers but it is only dat dey are extremely few now, thence, he shdnt just conclude like dat..."Mai" love said he told him dat dat is wat is happening in female-male relationships vizaviz proposals 4 courtships or datings which make many brothers and many sisters become afraid of starting relationship with a felowship member despite d fact dat she has known d person for months or years because dey feared d unknown, dey feared dat d person may afterall become and anoda wolf in sheep's clothing..

Thence, d so called sisters many atimes prefer outsiders, those who are not sound in faith to start dating than d so called believer bc according to sister Bum-bum, "if he wants to act funny, I shall also act funny calling him 2 his senses"...But d truth is dat dia r genuine believers out there, "mai" lord concluded with broda Johnny... When "mai" lord inboxed me dis msg because I was yet on campus wen I told him 2 get d thing ready 4 me, so dat wen I come home I shal take it along bc I was already "sick of his love"...despite saying dis he stil wanted me 2 get d thing where I am,...I also had 2 reply him, using his words, dat since he believes dia r genuine believers around, though fewer, then let us give d broda an element of doubt until he proves odawise, 4 afta all, retail prices are close irrespective of cities or villages.

"Mai" lord said "no problems, but that if d man happened to fai, u shal bear d liabilities, financial one of getting a new one or repairing d one he bought as d case may be". I replied dat "I agreed, but dat if he happened 2 get me d correct one, you shall add to my weekly wages..." "Owo l'obinrin mọ", lets wait and see" he said. So, he helped me contact d broda and d broda got me a printer...From my love's message, I assume he is satisfied with d product bc he is saying dat he may assist him 2 get some things, bc he said he wanted 2 computerize his office n coupled with d fact dat he is a "micro" writer, he may want to start storing his write ups and messages on d d system... When he informed me dat he wants him 2 get sth 4 him, I asked him 2 brief me of d devpt, d sudden change in interest in d broda, he refused, saying until I arrive "gan-ni a fi ji" he said in anoda tribe's language. "Ẹyin lẹmọ, ẹ o mã fi enia sinu "suspense" bi ẹnipe "island" ni mo wa pẹlu yin", I replied.

"Ẹ ma binu iya grammar", he said. "Boya ẹ o tillẹ fẹ ki n ka iwe mọ ni" I said. "why?" he replied. "Se ẹ o mọ wipe ti enia ba ti wa ni "suspense" ọKan enia ko ni papọ̀ ni iwaju awọn professors wọnyẹn ni?" I said. "Ẹ ma binu. Se ẹ mọ wipe emi o lọ suku ri, mi o mỌ bi o se nse enia", he replied. "Dont mis-interpret and or mis-quote me o, I did not say u did not go to school oh...am on my knees oh", I said. "Not in anyway annoyed...Just playing now..." he said. "hmn. Heave a sigh of relief. Alright. Back on my couch", i replied. "God bless u", he said. "Amen" I replied. "Do u know what?" He asked "Watz dat dearie love?" I asked. "Ẹyin ti "personality" yin ba ti jẹ "phleg" bayi, nkan ni" he replied "To ò, ẹ n lẹ o baba "personality" ki la se o?" I replied. "You are those Yorubas called "Rutu abọ́kọkú"" he said. "I think Yorubas erred in dat," I said "Why?" he replied. "Because "Rutu ko ba ọkọ ku, Rutu fi ìfẹ́ rẹ si ọkọ rẹ han ni" and is dia a law against dat?" I said.

"Not that I can think of at d moment" he replied. ""Mai" lord sire. I know u r wiser n more grounded in bible than I, but u can neva think of any, either now or in d future", I replied. "Yes madam grammar, I even forgot dat u have an award in bible teaching @ d felowship lately" he said. "Ẹyin na lẹ fun wa", I said. "I want u 2 know dat even Yoruba does not approve flirting. Yoruba wants some1 who shal sustain d geneology of d dead, and dat was what Ruth did, dat was what she exemplified". "Am all ears bible teacher", he said. "Thats what I want 2 chip in on dat "Rutu a bọkọ ku" slogan by our people", I said. "O.K" He said. "So, wat do u say of my personality class?" I asked. "What I am trying 2 say is d Phleg personality individual trusts pp so much and dey demonstrate such trusts to d extent dat if dey r grieved, "Ọlọrun nikan lo le gba ẹniyẹn"", "mai" lord's response. "To ò, e emi ni sẹyin ni bayi tabi ẹyin lẹ sẹ mi?", I asked. "O ò sẹ̀ mi. Mi o sẹ̀ ẹ́. But I am saying ko dara ki enia ma sẹ iru yin" he said

"Either phleg or sanguine or whatever, "ko dara ki a ma sẹ ara wa, a ò si le ma ma sẹ ara wa nigbati a ba ti jìjọ n ni ajọsepọ, nitori ẹniti enia ba n ba ni ajumọjọsepọ na ni enia ma nsẹ..." "Hun-hun", he said "Nitorina bi ẹniti enia ba mba ni ajumọjọsepọ ba sẹ ẹnikeji, nse ni ka ya pari rẹ lẹ́yẹ-o-sọka, ki a si tun bẹrẹ sini gbe ni" harmony", i said. "There is nothing like living in harmony, in unity...he said, "o ti dara o si ti dun to fun awọn ara lati ma jumọ gbé ni irẹpọ", "mai lord said. "Where is dat in d bible gan...isnt it in Orin Dafidi?" "Yep. 133, precisely". He replied. "Living in unity brings progress, it brings joy, it solidifies d more relationship", I said. "And What one thinks one may not be able 2 achieve in decades, with love, unity, one shall achieve it...dat's wat d apostles demonstrated while dey 1st received Holy Ghost, datz wat d book of Psalms 133 is teaching us", he added. "Huh, "mai" pastor sire", i said. "So my advice having understand what u mean when u said "your mind will be there", is dat u shd just take your heart off d printer until u arrive, "sefini"", he replied.

"I will try 2, I need 2 inform u dat during dis time dat I shal be coming home, there are duties outlined 4 me @ d office dat wil make me busy, bc my boss has been informing me of many pending files to treat", I said. "Alrit. Idi isẹ ẹni lati n mọ ẹni lọlẹ. May d Lord help u so dat u finish all in time", my love said.... It was as if we have parted for years, despite d fact dat we talk daily, despite d fact dat we chat daily, despite d fact dat we upload our pictures of interests daily, despite...but seeing is different...God is wonderful. I got 2 d Island earlier so dat I will have a taste of office work, do some works and take d rest home if possible so dat I finish up my part on schedule bc according 2 my boss, d headquarter wants d branch's report upd8 asap. I did not let him know of my take off time 4m d city so dat he wont calculatively arrive @ my arrival hour...when I dropped @ d garage, I phoned him dat our bus is about to take off, he wished me a safe journey...Then I asked of where he is and he told me in his office.

I board a taxi 2 his office...on getting 2 his office he told me dat he received an open trance abt 2 minutes before I called, seeing me alighting 4m a yellow bus n d environment was d Island's garage... "Ẹh-hẹn" was wat I said. "So, as I was thinking on d vision dat could it be dat u have arrived, dat was when u called saying u r about to take off...so i conclude dat u r yet 2 be here but dat u shal get home safely...dat was wat I later interpreted d trance 2 mean" he concluded. "God is great". I said. "This is bc d bus dat conveyed me here was yellow and dat was d exact tym dat I alighted 4m d bus, u are monitoring me spiritually "niyẹn" o. "Where d carcass is, d eagles gathered..." "So d scriptures say", I said interjectingly. "So whereever sons/daughters of genuine prophet of God are, his spiritual eye shall be with dem" he said. "Praise God 4 d office of prophets", I said. "Alleluiah to God", "mai" lord said. "So what do u bring 4 me?" He added. "Plenty of assignments 4m prof Josh-Josh", I replied laughing.

"Alright. We shal do justice 2 dat later, but, wat I mean is, wia r d edible things u brought 4 me", my love said. "I bought some fried chips, but I have given those @ sales department..." Interjecting, "I do now wanna know wat u give those @ d sales dept, I am talkin abt my own" he said. "Agbalagba. Ki lenia fe ra fun eyin agbalagba?" I asked. "Bring ur handbag n let me see", he said. I handed it ova 2 him, "e le ri nkankan nibe", I said. "I only come so dat I drop my bag in d office n go 2 my work place 2 get started wit my piled up office works", I enthused. "Okay o", he said as he collected my handbag n started opening it..."may God not let blade cut ur hands in my bag as u r removing its contents", I said, as I squeezed mysef tru d narrow path btw him n d wall, pressing my breasts on him, because I didnot want 2 excuse him off d road...walking 2 wia he used 2 keep his foods...he replied as I was squeezing mysef 2ru his back, "if blade cuts my hand, u will be misses nurse 2da, n treat me, awa o mọ wipe abẹfẹlẹ lotun ku ti ẹ n mu rin kiri bayi o"

I did not answer him as I move 2wads d place, he grasped my wrist n pulled me back 2 him...face 2 face with him, he said, "ẹniti ko mu nkan bọ fun ara ile, oun na ko ni ri nkan ti ara ile seto kale gbà"...I was struggling 2 free mysef, but he held me tight, then I said, "Ha-ha-ha? Tomode ba nse bi omode, sebi won ni agba a si ma se bi agba". "I wont "se ise agba" today" he said still holding my hand. "O dara. Wont u let me go to office again? Leave me I want 2 get going 2 my work place, "ti ẹ ba ni ẹ o ni nkankan fun wa", I said. "Okay. Walk back 2 wia u were b4", he said. "Leave my hand now", I said lookin @ his eyeballs lovingly n laughing..."bc if u dont leave my hand how wld i move back 2 d place"...i know he wil leave my hand...He left my hand, I walked 2 wia his food warmers are kept...I saw two food warmers..."mai" lord has prepared my own food, I think...I opened it...I found my favorite food, powdered yam flour, "amala dudu" with "abula"...This man sha, ...he likes disturbing himsef, why cant he prepare simple food...I thought 2 mysef...He didnt talk...i took out d food...placed it on table...cleared d books n cassettees of d table n arrange it properly...washed my hands, settled down to eat it, just then he spoke, "se ẹyin o tile le bere lowo eleti ki e to gba nitiyin ni? Ounjẹ yen ore mi to mbo lati ilẹ okere ni mo se fun o

...mo se fun o nitoripe o ni ó pẹ ti oun ti je amala pelu abula gbehin". "I am also your friend, your..." swallowing a bolus of "amala",...I mean d chief of all your friends "gan" sef...when your 2nd, 3rd etc friends arrive, take him and or them to the eateries or beta still go n prepare new foods 4 dem", I conclusively said as anoda bolus goes into my mouth. "Ki agbalagba o ma dana de ọmọde, arifin niyẹn o...", am I your mate? He said. "Nope "mai" lord sire"...putting succulent cow-leg, "bọkọtọ" into my mouth...sorry "mai"...um...lord sire. "Alright. Nibiti ounje ka yin lara de, e o tile le duro kajo jeun papo mọ, ...", he dips his hand into d washing bowl, washing his hand... "Ẹn-hẹn-hẹn! Kile nse?" I asked interuptingly. "Kilo jọ? Boya lẹ tilẹ rọju gbadura si ounjẹ yẹn ki ẹ to ma jẹ" he replied. "Ni ounje ti ngo gbadura si? Ẹ fẹ jẹ poison". I said. "I have been longing to eat your poison of love" he said.

 "Eh-he, "mai" lord has changed o, i think u dont like 2 eat love's poison b4 now?" I said. "Tabi ẹ o ma wo ogboju aya?" he said..."i may not like eating oda women's foods but obviously not yours...dat poison will effectively work". "But i think u said d food is 4 a visitor 4m d advanced country", I said, as i put anoda bolus into my mouth, d food is fairly hot, soft...well prepared... "Food rules n ethics say, "it is not good 2 speak while eating"" he said. "Ẹyin na lẹ n disturb mi, jẹjẹ mi ni mo n jẹun mi", I said. "So nothing dey shame you, eating a man's prepared food", he said. "What wil shame me 4 eating "mai" love's food", I said, he has also dipped his hand into d food n we r eating 2geda now... "Ki ẹ ma tile le gbawẹ iseju kan", he said. "Eyin ni woli. It is prophets who fasts regularly, but 4 church members as I am, the Lord is not hard on us", I said. "Is the Lord hard on us?" He asked eating. "Nope "mai" lord sire, but... Interjecting, "but what?" He said.

"But it is u who sees, hears, n gets many things 4m God coupled with d fact dat u wil want 2 prepare 4 d congregation...but 4 us, "ọmọ ijọ" we are enjoined 2 live faithfully, be loyal 2 God n our leaders...em, datz all", I said. "E n le o, omo ijo rere", he said. "O o baba woli", I said...we finished eating...packed d warmers n oda things 4m d table...went outside, bring out wat i brought 4 him...I handed dem ova 2 him "I know u can not but bring something 4 your love now...something dat is gr8, gud" he said. "And I know u cannot do without preparing a delicious meal 4 me", I said...while resting, we started examining d printer which was bought 4 us by d broda, d printa was gud...superb according 2 "mai" lord, d brand dat i loved...n d broda did not take extra-charge, he got it @ d exact price one of my friends said she got hers,...he told "mai" lord dat when he approached him dat he needed d substance, dat it coincided wit d time he was travelling 2 wia he used 2 buy dem in bulk price, which is usually cheaper...

Although he had it in mind 2 buy some that he would sell, but when "mai" lord got 2 him, he had 2 add ours, including it in his order at d company, so dat our wont in anyway tamper or alter d quantity he originally had in mind buying 4 sales @ d island... Wat he did surprised "mai" lord and he decided 2 use him 2 get some desktop computers dat he wanted 2 use in his office...He eulogized his faithfulness...a rare one among his contemporaries in d fellowship he said... @ 13:00 hours, i got up to get going 2 my office so dat I see if I can lay my hands on one/two things in d office b4 d closing hour... @ 13:20 hours, I got 2 my office...exchanged greetings with co-workers...give dem plaintain chips...den I was told dat my boss is around... "wia did he parked his car?" I asked. "Mechanic has taken it away 4 servicing", a staff replied... "Oh no wonder, I thought he wasnt around when I didnt see his vehicle around," I said...as I head towards his office, knocked @ his office's door.

"Yes? Who is there?" he asked. "Good afternoon sir, it's Debbie sir", I replied. "Oh, my Debbie, pls come right in", he said. "Yes sire," I said, opening d door and entered, genuflecting, "afternoon sire," I said again. "How has it been? How was d trip? When did you arrive? Today?" he bombarded me with questions. "Evrythin is fine sire. The journey was wonderful...I "Can you please take a sit?" he interjected, stretching his left hand to the seats opposite him.. "Oh. Thank you sire", I said, pulling out a chair to sit directly opposite him. "What do I offer you? Coffee?" He inquired. "This afternoon oga? Nope sire thanks. I am alright", i replied. "Oh, maybe cold water or soft drink will do?" He asked. "I am pretty fine sire," I said. "Thank you sire". "Okay o, if you said so", he said. "I arrived early 2da 2 see dose piled up works @ my desktop and see how I can attend to one or two b4 d day runs out..." "Oh", interjecting, "I think what u shall need attend to now may not be too many

Again, bc your junior staff said u have once taken him thru some of the steps in handling some of the works and he has been able to treat some of it, using d data plan u left behind...and what was initialy proving difficult, i think he was able to retrieve d package necessary for its handling 4m d system...so I think, we have made remarkable progress on your departments documentation dis week", he enthused. "Oh. That is lovely. Wonderful sire. A good news." I said. "Yes. It is. That is why it is gud dat a leader carries along his/her subjects in d execution of his/her duties so dat @ d appropriate time, such persons can assist him/her." he said. "I have shown him virtually all except some few things and it was bc of d limited tym n also dat we have not win a project involving such of late", I said. "Maybe dat is wat is left...or maybe he just didnt know how 2 go about it", my boss said. "I shall immediately attend to dat sire", i said. "So, how is broda Samson?" My boss asked

"He is pretty fine sir", I replied. "How is his work?" My boss asked. "All praise to God sire", I replied. "Lest I forget, I was @ his shop last week 2 get some cassettees and he was marvelous, he gave me special attention...pls extend my special appreciation 2 him 4 wat he did 4 me last week" my boss said. "I shal do dat sire", I said. "I want 2 ask u a question about him", my boss said. "Pls go ahead sire", I said, as I adjust myself on d seat 2 listen 2 wat he wanted 2 say. "Excuse me, which political party does he belong to?" my boss asked. "A political party or what sir?" I asked him again. "Yes. I mean is he a politician? Is he in any political party?" My boss asked. "Sorry sire", I said. "Yes, Debbie", Boss said. "You mean to ask whether or not my fiancé is a politician sire?" I asked. "Yes, sister Debbie, I want to know if he is a politician", my boss said. "He is not a politician sire, and from all I know about him, he does not belong to any political party or group", I replied

"Hen-hen? Is that so?" Boss said. "Yes sire", I replied. "And dont you know if he has an intention of joining a political party in d nearest future?" Boss asked. "Nope sire, I do not know, and I do not even think so sire", i replied...."but why do you ask such question sire". I added. "Well, 4 quite a while now, I have been reading some of his articles on social media, his comments, his posts, his responses to some of the Island's nagging issues of interest and I feel, well such a man we need in Politics to help in talking to some of d island's leaders who r not forthright in their dealings with d people, leaders bereft of ideas, a head without cerebrum, a head without thinking centers, a head without co-ordinations, leaders devoid of commoners pains, leaders who know how 2 use d poor people 2 get 2 d throne, but after getting there, they become demi-god, dey forget d commoners, dey drop dem, dey add 2 their sufferings belabouring dem, addin 2 their sorrows, trading d poor men's progress 4 setbacks n servitudes...So having been ffg him, I feel he has something to offer our island's people", Boss said.

"Hum!" I mustered. "Oh, sorry. But havent u noticed that?" Boss asked. "I have noticed it sire...I have even talked to him about it..." "Is dat so?" Boss interjectingly asked. "Yes sire", I replied. "Pls go on, what was his response when u discussed suc with him? You are the person who can pull him out of his political coccoon", boss said. "Oh! Do you think so?" I asked. "Yes. Positive about it Debbie", boss said "Well, I do not so think sire", I said. "Why? He loved you pretty well. He loved you closely. He loved you so much..." "Hum", interjectingly said. "Or do you have reservations about his love for you?" boss asked. "Nope sire. Not at all. I know he loved me dearly, and I loved him to pulp too...but convincing him on political matters? I do not think i can do that sire", i said. "But why do you think you cannot pull him out of his political coccoon 2 partake and participate in politics of d island?" boss asked. "When we discussed d issue, his reply was, "for now, he has no feelings and directives for such..."

Boss interupted, "no directives as how?" "Directives on his part means that God has not spoken to him on such for now, he said maybe in the future but obviously for now God hasnot said anything as per that, as such he added nothing like that is in my view" I replied. "When did you discussed dis with him?" Boss asked. "About 18 months ago" I replied. "That is quite a while, maybe he would have been visited by God now" Boss said. "Maybe sire. Maybe...He said "all his write-ups is aimed at helping one or two people in governance, so that they see the commoners view of what is going on in the Island" I said. "Well. Well. Well. It is true. One or two people in governance may stumble on such writeups, but, I think as good and true as dat is, I still think if he joins a political party, he will offer more than this and he will also know those in authority who can listen 2 him, for who knows, he may also become elected into an office later", boss conclusively said.

"As far as my interactions with him, when we actually come together closely, because, we have been together as church members before we started courtship, so when we actually started sharing our minds, views, objectives, visions, dreams of d future together, I have studies him closely and discovered dat his mind is absolutely not in politics, but maybe it is because he hasnt seen some1 to convince him, to enlighten him, to make him see reasons why he needs to take such step, joining political terrain, maybe God can use you to talk to him on dis issue, but as for me...Uhm? I do not so think". I said. "Alright Debbie...I will think about it", boss said. "The little I know about my lovely love, "mai" lord is that he does love to wait on God b4 taking a step, he doesnt just jump into any issue anyhow, he doesnt like being pressurized 2 do anything, and he hardly hides his feelings, he opens his minds on many issues, but on this politics, he hasnt talked to me about picking interests in it of late..." "Uhm", Boss interjected.

"I also assume his stance on d issue is particularly religious based...he has passed thru some teachings 4m his mentor...his mentor, d person he makes mention of his name regularly has admonished him not to dabble into politics for any reasons, he said, the man told him to ensure that he brings many people into Jesus' home with all he has...so my love is strictly pursuing that goal with all his might, vigour, strength, intelligence, knowledge...however, as I said afore, he may have reasons to change his stance if someone talks to him", I concluded. "The assignments b4 us now do not leave room 4 such @ d moment, but when we finish dis task b4 us, I shall try n see him one on one on dis crucial matter, showing him some examples of ministers of God who r into politics now", Boss said. "That shall be scintilating of you sire, and may God speak to you thru him", I said. "Amen" Boss replied. "Thank you for the care sire", I said. "What are we together for? We r together to share our burdens and ofcourse lift ourselves up", boss said "Yes sire", I replied. "I have just recieved anoda memo 4m headquarters that we need to work on something, please go and take the the printout from the printer's outlet over there and work on it together with other few things yet to be addressed..."ẹ ku irin na"..."Boss said. I stant up to get the print out 4m d printer and said ""ẹ se sire" I will work on all with speed and accuracy sire"... I left my boss' office...what a nice man...I thought to myself, as I walked to my section in d office...
