Black Sunday

I am taking the courage to express in writing what happened and how it felt. That Sunday was dark..

Words eludes me to express the pain I felt when I was told that my dad was 'gone', he slept and never woke again on the May 3rd (a day before my birthday) in 2020.

How do I forget such ache and pain, a day that was suppose to be for celebration for me became a day of mourning because he requested to be buried without delay whenever death called. Unfortunately, death decided to come for him on the 3rd and he was buried on the 4th May, 2020(my birthday).

Instead of making merry. I was calling to know if burial arrangement was properly done as, we the children could not travel due to the total lockdown as a result of the serious condition of COVID-19 last year

Waoh! it was really a dark day, Sunday evening it was- 3rd May, 2020.

We shall meet again at the feet of the Lord

Rest on dad!

The aftermath of not pursuing your passion can lead to a lifetime regrets.

In a country where we were once called “The happiest people on earth”, now it cannot be said of Nigeria to be the most happiest as the situation is no longer the same. So much killing and shedding of innocent blood, deleting the future in order to have no one to take over the affair of the nation; so much political unrest and corruption. Kidnapping is now a normal thing to some people who do not want to labour for legitimate wealth. Some do it all because off spite and hatred for peace and tranquility or is it because they want to force some form of religion on everyone? The abduction of more than two hundred (200) secondary girls in the Northern part of the country is so overwhelming, I wonder how their parents are faring without their daughters by their side, to some parents-the girl taken could be an only child, to some; all they have is what the abductors have taken.  *Where are we going in this land? This is really something that is hard to be silent about…* What is the r
