Humans of Lagos Episode 59

Humans of Lagos " Last week, I insulted a girl for refusing my proposal. She's fond of using "am" instead of "I'm".  I abused her like a wife of a drunken stupor abusing her husband when cleaning him. But yesterday, Facebook brought to remembrance my posts of last year...I saw myself or spirit writing; "am happy...", "am not against..." We grow at our own pace. Now I believe, there's judgement day." © FERT, 2015

AHMED: Hey, where do you think that you're coming to? PAUL: Mosque of course.  AHMED: why are you coming with your phones with their chargers and personal computer? Is the mosque safe? PAUL: Sure the mosque is safe. I will be charging my devices with the mosque's electricity generator while worshipping. After all, I saw Bridget, the church usher, your side chic charging your phone at the altar last sunday. AHMED: Wow! Don't loud that, Halimat must not know about Bridget. Come inside and worship your maker while I give Halimat your devices to charge for you. PAUL: Thanks but don't bother, just get me Khadijat, she'll help with the charging. AHMED: Oops, is she your side-chic? Be careful, Abubakar, her main guy is in the mosque presently. PAUL: Of course, I will be. See, my new Koran. AHMED: Wow, it is beautiful.

The Display Picture is the image of a young comely, naturally beautiful lady; and it's her Birthdate. Such a sweet girl. I composed a wonderful birthday message I'd never done in my life. I loved the poem; solely developed for her. At the juncture of posting my poem with flowers, Facebook wrote; "Greet him on his birthday." "Him?" I wondered. I went straight to the about section of the account, and truly,  he is a he. He is only using the picture of his wife. I was angry, so I sent; "HBD WYLLP" Short for, "Happy Birthday, Wishing You Long Life and Prosperity", on his timeline.  Minutes later, the jobless celebrant liked the post, "Thank you." He then commented almost immediately.  So I blocked him. I don't like it when people will not use their real and recent pictures on social media. What are they hiding? © FERT, 2015

Humans of Lagos  "For 7 months, my beautiful wife was hospitalized at one of the leading private health care giving centre in the city. She was diagnosed with colon cancer. I pitied her so much, because she underwent a severe excruciating pain during this period.  I consulted a local herbalist with the hope of providing alternative healing process for her. The herbalist instructed me to be sacrificing nutritious cooked food at a T-junction every week to appease the gods that they may heal may wife. I did this religious for 4 months. However, my wife gave up the ghost. Though her demise was a painful lost lost, but we acknowledged that she need the rest. One year on after her death, I changed my location, and started my life all over again.  Last week on my way to the bus station a man ran up to me, he dressed casually. He asked me why I quit putting food at the T-junction. I was surprised how he knew about my weekly rituals back then.  He to...

Humans of Lagos  "My boss at work won't employ married women, he's of the habit of recruiting young beautiful ladies. He doesn't promote his staff based on merit, but according to his discretion.  He is fond of promoting female staff ahead of any hardworking male staff. He's a confirmed womanizer. Last week, his wife accused him of having more female staff strength,  but he told her that he is a strong supporter of feminism © FERT, 2015

Humans of Lagos  "My father called me and said unto me; "Now that you are of age, and searching for the beautiful lady to marry, you must go and learn about how to swim." I asked him why. "You shouldn't be deceived by the beautiful girl you see at the party, don't be swayed by the stunning appearance of the girl at the dinner. You can't just trust any fine looking God fearing girl at the church on Sundays. On your first date, entice the lady to swim at the pool along with you. Then all things about her beauty will be revealed unto you." He's right, very right." © FERT, 2015

Humans of Lagos "My mother, a Fulani married my father an Igbo man. After his death, my father's family seized all his property then sent my mother away. She remarried a Yoruba man as a second wife and the union produced a male child. Rumour had it that my mother was poisoned by the senior wife who could not give birth to any male child.  My stepbrother was sent out but I took him in. He initially practiced Islam while he stayed with me, but joined me in attending Catholic mass. Now he's a proud unbeliever but that's not my problem. We are all connected, we ought to be one, but we allowed ethnic to divide us, and religion to separate us. Though from a single mother, I'm an Igbo man and my stepbrother is a Yoruba man. We were raised to adopt the religion of our fathers.  I love him, we are of the same blood, humanity is supreme. © FERT, 2015

Be Brave

For the brave... * Do NOT panic. * Be calculating enough to make the snake fall of the tree. Attack the snake because you need to survive. Actually the snake venom bite shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to kill it's victim - compared to crocs bite which can be painful and lion tearing of flesh very disastrous. *If you are successful in sending the snake down into the river...you're left with lion and crocs. However, if the snake fall onto the ground, it will be a case of the Lion against the Snake...the Snake may kill the Lion and get killed too from the Lions claws. But if the snake fall into the water...it will become food for the crocs.  You'll be left with lion to deal with - so rest and take a deep breath on the half cut tree. Plan ahead, if the tree will fall off...you can use the tree branch to attack the lion...who knows it may run. If you don't attack these animals to safe yourself...you be killed.  * Ultimately, don't die like a coward...

End time sign is when you entered the confession box room and lied so much that the Reverend Father wept because he was deceived by the gravity of your deceit. .................................................................................... That moment when you attend Osun Osogbo Festival, and one of the priests was praying for you and you said; "Amen in Jesus." You can't make heaven neither hell. .................................................................................... You kiss and have sex with your Muslim partner on a regular basis, but rejected the sallah meat quoting bible verse about meat offered to idols. Verily I say unto you, I have removed your name from the book of life. You cannot come and destroy heaven with your hypocrisy. ~ Uztas Ajisafe Ibn Oluwafemi Abdul-Michael.
