I will never forget

Hello, beautiful people! Welcome to my blog. It's a pleasure to have you in this space. Once again, welcome.🤗

You know that popular Nigerian saying that says them no dey put mouth for lovers matter

Well, something happened to me that made me say I will never put my mouth in anything that has to do with love issues.

Back then at the university, I had this former roommate in the hostel who was in an abusive relationship both physically and verbally. She was always complaining about her boyfriend maltreating and humiliating her and even sleeping around with other girls, and to make matters worse, his family doesn't like and approve of her as she is not from their tribe and he's the first son of the family. One day I summoned the courage to advise her to leave the relationship; that he was not worth it. That God was going to send her someone that loves and respects her, and his family will also love and accept her. After all the talks and advice, this girl was busy nodding her head while crying and thanking me for opening her eyes.

Some days later I tried her phone number; it wasn't going through, and I became so worried. I went to the room, and her roommates said she had not been around for about a week plus. I became worried and started praying and hoping she was okay, only for me to meet her by the hostel gate a few days later. I approached her and asked what happened to her. I have been worried, only for this girl to tell me her boyfriend is outside, that they were going for their introduction, that he proposed to her and promised her that he had changed.

Admission into the university
Secondly, I will never forget the day I got admission into the university. I had written Jamb four times and passed but was not getting admission. Most of my friends were already in the university; I felt like God had abandoned me. When the admissions list was released, my dad called me to check, but the network was slow. I remember crying and begging God to show mercy for my name to be on that list, and then my dad called me back again to say I was admitted but that it was not the course of my choice. I said no problem; let me just go to school.

No more borrowing money
I will never forget the day I made the decision not to borrow money I am not ready to let go. One time my friend asked me to lend her money; already she was owing me; she had borrowed money from me on different occasions and had not paid, so this time around she came to ask for money, and I told her I don't have it. She went on and on about how it's her mom that needs the money, not her, and promised to pay all the money she has been owning me within a stipulated time. After the plenty of sad stories, I gave her the money.

The time she promised to return the money had elapsed with several months, and I asked her for my money. This girl became angry with me. Me, and my own money but I was scared of asking her because she would get angry and shout at me that am disturbing her because of small money. When I noticed she didn't want to pay me back after a year plus, I gave up and promised myself never to lend what I can't let go of.

Embarrassed
I will never forget how I embarrassed myself in public transport. I was pressed and needed to use the toilet, but I told myself that I was going to hold it in till we get to our destination. Omo, before I knew it, I started sweating and shivering at the same time that the guy seated next to me noticed it and asked if I was okay. At this point I couldn't keep it to myself, so I told him with a shaky tune. The next thing I heard was, "Driver, abeg, find place park now before this fine girl shit for body."

Joy unexplainable
I will never forget how I felt in the delivery room during the birth of my first child when the doctors showed me my baby's face after being in labor for almost 24 hours with excruciating pains. Within seconds, all the pains had vanished and turned into an unexplainable joy, peace, and happiness.

THANK YOU FOR READING TO THE END 🤗
