Like mother, like daughter!!!

'Die die in the name of Jesus
Give me broom, give me...
Hurry up..
You can't escape me
This is your end....'

That definitely was my mum chasing mosquitoes
We grew accustomed to her wails and screaming
Her prayer power, second to none
All the window nets in our house attested to how deadly her punches were as they all had holes to show for it
If you missed her punch you surely wouldn't be missing the gallons of the blood of Jesus littered everywhere.

My super Mama has been waging war since time immemorial against all insects or pests
Whatever made anyone find their way into our house was quite a pity because coming across her was tantamount to untimely death.

I just couldn't understand it
Woman of God had broken glasses, windows, nets, chairs, destroyed our brooms, torn too many books, all in a bid to probably catch one mosquito.
Why not just spray insecticide Mummy?
Really couldn't understand it

I was drifting away, 
A hair's breath from heaven's gate when it sounded in my ears
Whhhhheeeeeeeeee whhhhhheeeeee
Oh noooooo it couldn't be
I had tossed for hours unend last night and when the hands of sleep decided to finally claim me this mosquito showed up?
I sprang up from my bed with holy indignation

Tonight, it's kill or be killed

The battle line was drawn

All of a sudden it began to make sense
The passion and singleness of purpose with which my mum chased those mosquitoes
I could feel the rush in my veins
As I squinted my eyes in focus

Kpam!
Killed it!
I had officially become a mosquito hunter.

People love bad news People love to hear bad news about others And yes, people love to spread bad news about others! Nigerian Actress Angela Okorie has been online ranting, from one person to the other. This person is bad, The other person is a killer Today it's Mercy Johnson and her mother who are witches and turn people into goat. Someone you claim to have been close to? Everybody around you is bad and you're the only good one? Sometimes people try to trash talk another because they either feel intimidated, are envious, or feel they're in some form of competition.

Bingo on the lose

Image
My people, I was taking my daughter to school when I heard sounds of feet behind me and a man making a call signal. I turned to see what was going on, only to find a correct dog right behind me. Hmmmmmm my mouth opened on its own accord, next thing I knew, doors were flying open because the way my screaming pierced the air, ahhhhhhhhhhhh! The man started apologizing profusely, saying the dog just took off the minute he opened his door. And everyone went into their rooms as per, normal occurrence. Since I set foot in the Dublin, I think dogs are dragging numbers with humans. Everywhere you turn, someone has a dog and you need to see how protective they are about it. They smile and tell you 'Don't worry, he/she is friendly and loves to play' Then they pause with their dog and wait for you to rub the dog. It's considered impolite and somewhat rude when you don't. I opened the lift today to find one gigantic dog and the owner staring it me. Semi human and sh...
