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!

PLEASE ADVICE ME

Hello, Good afternoon to you. Trust you are fine. I'm sounding formal, right? Lol, don't mind me. Something happened in my office today. I've been out of mobile data for some days. A senior colleague here in the office volunteered to get lunch for us on his pocket. My Best Friend suggested that I declared that I was going monetize mine, but I was shy! By the time the Office Assistant returned with the meal and balance for everyone, it is the exact amount I need to buy my data. Now I'm thinking if anyone would buy the meal from me. It pays to listen and obey when the Holy Spirit talks mehn! Sighs. I wish I obeyed my Best Friend, He is the Holy Ghost. You know, there is this friend of mine, I'll call him Dez. I met Dez last year March. We started on a good note and became really close as a result. Honestly, from the start of the friendship, Dez made his intentions known to me. He pointed out that he wants a relationship that will lead to marriage. Of cou...

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...

Why I Stopped Writing For So Long!

Many a times, I want to express myself via writing. By God’s grace, I know I’m an articulate writer. I express myself better when writing than speaking. However, as soon as I set my mind to write, the enthusiasm drops and I’m wondering why I wanted to write. Some other times, I’m also thinking that what I want to write might be private.  You see, I’m privileged to have certain private and dynamic relationships with different kind of people. As such, I’m being careful of writing what will make these people think I’m writing about them. At the same time, I love being private - I also wouldn’t want to write and the smart Peeps in my corner add one plus one to make eleven. Lol.  Many reasons, right? Is it just me? Am I thinking too much? Am I caring too much? Am I too concerned? Am I am I? 🙈 Let’s go into what we have for us today. You see, sometime in the year 2021, my phone was stolen. That was like the third phone that got missing within the space of three years. Unfortunately...
