You can't run away from..... Guess what?

What a special title I have bestowed upon this comedy. You know, many of us do run away from work at home because of laziness. For example, I could remember the day, emm, during my primary school days, when I was in primary 5, early in the morning, Dad told me that am not going to school that very day because I need to follow my mother to our farm and it's one of those things I dislikes. Heyy, what will I do? That was the question I asked myself. As a smart Nigerian babe I am, i know that if I should frown my face, Dad will add punishment to it. So, gently, I walked to him, and told him that our teacher said we're going to write text that very day. And that she warned us never to miss school that very day.

So, Dad, automatically changed his mind and ordered me to go to school. Thank God, he didn't inquire from my teacher. Meanwhile, you see, development and civilization are all good and bad. If it's nowadays that phone is rampant, Dad would have call my teacher to know. Awwwch, I was happy that Dad granted my wish not knowing that what I was running from would be far more better than what am going to experience.

As I reach school, I met my classmates outside the class with our class teacher. Hehehe, chei, smartness don put me for trouble oo. My dear reader, do you know that our teacher took us to her school farm to harvest cassava for her. And to worsen the whole issue, she said that it might serve as text for us (pure lie. Just to put fear in us and to make sure we do it). At that point, I said to myself, Marajah, sorry for yourself. Kai, I ran away from work at home and now, what have I gotten myself into? And at that point, no leave, no transfer. Harvesting of cassava is not an easy task and when compared to ordinary farm work, like weeding or cultivating, you'll find out that harvesting of cassava is one of the worst stages of farming lolz. And at this point, it's a must. As I reach home that day ehh, hmmm, the way Dad flogged me ehh, as he saw how dirty I was as a result of the farmwork. Ohh, I came to realize that I can't run away from my destiny. lolz. Mind you, farmwork is not my destiny oo.

Anyway, as the topic implies, let me tell you another story that took place in our family last year. Open your ears wide to hear the story.

There is this chicken we have been nurturing for good 2 years. So, last year December, my Dad wanted us to kill it. My younger brother, out of his familiarity and affection for the chicken, insisted that we should leave the chicken or, sell it out and then buy another full grown chicken with the money because, he don't want the chicken to die. Seeing how mean my Dad was, he started crying and when Dad saw tears in his eyes, he directed us to sell it out.

The funny aspect is this:

Am the one that took the cock to market, sold it out to a stranger. later in the day, I and that my brother visited a friend, after spending hours with him, he received a call from his friend and urge us to go with him. What I saw landed me into laughter while my brother learnt his lesson that very day. Hahaha, As we were entering the house, we saw their house help holding that our cock and a knife. Next, he cut off the chicken head and started preparing it as meat.

At that, my brother said to me......

Sister, is it not that our chicken? Chei, had I know, we for eat the chicken. Now, after nurturing the chicken for good 2 years, other people are the ones to enjoy it.

At that I said..

Guy, are you not the one that insisted on selling the chicken out because you don't want it to die?

He replied...

Sister, I thought they'll keep the chicken not knowing they too will kill it. Ohhhm, I wish I can anticlockwise the whole thing. Next time, we will not sell it out.

My last response to him is this..

Guy, look, whether we kill the chicken by ourself or we sell it out, one thing for sure is this: The chicken must end up inside pot of stew, pepper soup or soup.

Hahahahah, my brother learnt a huge lesson from the incident. And below is the lesson...

Lesson

If God have prepared a special package for you, no matter the obstacles you'll face in life, as long as there is life, you'll still end up achieving that special package. Though, it may be delayed but, it must surely come as long as there is life.
