Who Stole My Money?

Hey Guys!!!


How have you been in the last few days and how has Nigeria been to you? Rather, lol, how have you been to Nigeria? And yes, happy children's day, everyone; y’all are children of God, right?


Before I delve into the gist for today o, I need your advise; and I'm very serious about it. Since this week commenced, my morning hunger pangs have really increased 😔. Honestly, when I'm yet to eat in the morning, I feel lightheaded and somewhat weak. It hasn't been like this for a long while. What's happening na? Is it a weather thing? If you have answers, please, drop it in the comment session. E da Kun (please)🙈


To today's gist, due to one of the hunger sessions I had yesterday, I had to calm my nerves with Ewa Agoyin (beans and sauce made by the Agoyins. To know a little about the Agoyins, please, click here) and yam.

Fast forward till afternoon when I was hungry again, I settled after so many back and forth to eat Fufu (made from cassava and is very filling) with gbegiri (beans soup) and ewedu (spinach) without beef. To make this happen, I headed to the canteen where they sell the food for the very first time. I went in the company of a colleague.


You see, anyone close to me knows that I prefer egg to beef when eating out at canteens. The beef they sell is usually so small and almost irrelevant (to me); so, why not go for egg instead? Since they probably don't sell egg there, I bought just the swallow and soup.


Mind you, when I bought the Ewa Agoyin, I gave the Lady #500 and collected my change. After I bought the Fufu at the canteen, I proceeded to make payment. I paid #200, but while I made the payment, I was so sure that the money in my lunch bag wasn't complete. There was to be a #100 balance (2 #50 notes) which was now #50, (So, even if I wanted beef, money at hand wasn't sufficient).


Immediately, my FBI instincts (don't ask me where I got it from, I have it; lol) told me that I probably gave the lady #250 mistakenly and she took it and didn't say anything. Another thought said the balance of #50 dropped on the floor and due to the busyness of the canteen, a sharp guy had bent to pick it up. 


I had this thought for a while before I shrugged it off to concentrate on other things at work. The thought still returned o. That was when my best friend, the Holy Ghost spoke. It was He who reminded me that I gave the Ewa Agoyin seller #500 and bought beans and yam for #250. That meant my change was complete and nobody took or stole the balance.


Chai, and I had suspected almost everyone because of #50. Have you been in my shoes? That you had to suspect everyone because of something you didn't have a full grasp of? And then, you discovered that it wasn't what you were wrong? Not to worry, it's not too late to apologise to God and also to them. You hear?

Lolz, on a flip ehn, thank God I didn't attempt to impress my colleague by buying beef; I won't have had enough to pay, would have suspected everyone and thus, the matter would have been worse.


This is what I have to say, “the Holy Ghost is indispensable; we can't do without Him!”


To have the Holy Ghost help you solve your puzzles as He did with mine, all you need to do is accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. My friend, wherever Jesus is, the Holy Ghost will be there. Tell Him to forgive you your sins, invite Him to help you, start to study your Bible and live a holy and prayerful life. Lastly, join a bible believing Church around you. God bless you!

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 😂. Afterwards, I went further and saved his name on the makeshift as ...

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...

MOUTH ACCIDENT.

Hello everyone, trust you had a great night. I thank God for keeping us all through the night, He is worthy to be praised. Clears throat! So I went for a carol service in my mum's church yesterday, and trust me, I had a good time(lol). I felt at the time I joined the service that God planned it for me as a gift specially from Him to me,don't be jealous; ask for yours too. Earlier yesterday, my mum had sent me two songs to listen to and know word for word(musically, we call that scoring a song). Honestly guys, I didn't score the songs as I was supposed to. Reason was I had my hands full at my desk, what I did was just to listen to one of the songs so as to be able to sing along. I wasn't self aware that my mum was serious when she told me that I'd be a guest in her own church, and would be leading the two songs(oops!). Seconds turned into minutes, minutes into hours and finally, the awaited time came. We got to the Church about 30 minutes into the programme a...
