Checked On Me.

Hello dear friends, it's been a more than three days something, right? Please, pardon me; many chips came down at almost the same time, however, I specifically thank God for the grace He's blessed me with, and the people builders He deliberately placed around me for such a time as this!

So, let's go into the gist of tonight: In the year 2017, I became friends with Tolu Josh(real name) during a youth national convention. We grew into being good friends from the casual level things. He probably would have liked that we went past the platonic stage, but I didn't take too much notice.

Some months into our friendship, my phone was stolen and I had to use a makeshift phone. During the time I used the makeshift, Tolu called to check on me having not heard from me for a while. I picked the call, did like I knew it was him and appreciated him. I did that because I'd eventually know the person las las πŸ˜‚. Afterwards, I went further and saved his name on the makeshift as β€œChecked On Me.”

Later the next year, I synced my contacts online. Before you knew it, my phone was stolen again. By the time I got another phone to restore my contacts, Tolu's name was still saved as it was; β€œChecked On Me.” Then, I went ahead to change his name to his professional name on my phone. The mistake I made was leaving the β€œChecked On Me” on my phone. This implied that whenever Tolu Josh called, the name to appear would be β€œChecked On Me,” instead of β€œTolu Imagery.”

Then the unexpected happened during the RCCG National Convention this month. Tolu and I had course to work from the same studio. He was probably looking for his phone that day, and boom, he requested to use my phone. He dialled his number on my phone, saw β€œchecked on me” and took it personal. I tried all my best to explain and sort things out, but he just agreed with his lips and still has me in his heart. Biko, help me apologize to Tolu to move on o; I've deleted the β€œChecked On Me” and saved his name properly on my phone.

Morals, right? I learnt to always introduce myself whenever I call anyone, anyone! Also, I learnt to give allowances to people and also hear them out when stuff happens.

Okay friends, let's hear what you have to say.

Never ever forget that Jesus loves you endlessly. He's got you!

    Lovely write up!
    This also applies to relationships and marriages too. The name used in storing one's partner contact also shows how special that person is to him or her, and how dedicated he or she is to him or her.

    For instance, you have wives who save their husbands contact with Mr so and so or simply his first name. Definitely that tells you there is no depth in their relationship.

    1. I'm wondering why your example is solely on women. Lolz.

      The truth is this: you're right.

      Thank you for the encouragement bro, God be praised.

HONESTLY, HE SAW IT.

Hello guys!!! I have missed jisting you all about my daily activities. The reason is not far-fetched---- work schedules have been so tasking. You know, we have been given a target to make which means all hands are on deck to make this work. So, if you have anyone who is interested in doing ICT courses, please send my number (07080256903) to them, and I will be glad to attend to them. I am an IT Career Consultant, and I'll do my best to let them know what's best for them as regards the IT world. So to the gist of today, I found myself thinking about an incident that happened some months back. Sit back, relax and read. LOL! I had to see a friend in my neighborhood one cool evening, so I dressed up and got set to leave. Suddenly, I felt the urge to use the loo- I wanted to do the minor( to pee). Normally, I was supposed to go straight to the loo to do the minor in time and get on my way but I felt I could do it right there in the compound. So I took a bold but foolish step...

Inside Life.

Hullo everyone, it's been some days, right? Happy new month! πŸ’ƒ πŸ’ƒ Please, pardon me; your gist partner has been involved in some profitable somethings. πŸ˜‚ Let's dive straight to the gist of today. Anyone really close to me knows that after choosing a plate of beans accompanied with soaked gari(cassava flakes), one of the best gifts you can give me is a journal and a pen. Whoosh! I will pray for the person from my heart, tell everyone about that person and scream in pure delight. It so happened that a very dear friend of mine, let's call him Dee, has a very fine orange coloured journal that I fell in love with. I have a general love for journals, but this particular one caught my eye. I did all I could for Dee to gift me that journal o, but no, he didn't buy any of it. So, I gave up and continued to use my diary for everything I needed to write. Mind you, Dee is a poet, a scribbler and a many other something person. In the course of the past week, I was gisting ...
