Doggy Ordeal

” Should I go to Damian’s lodge or Chris’s lodge”

I kept debating as I was returning from the Maths class, heading to my hostel. Everything being taught today was complete rubbish.The only thing i would have understood then is the formular to derive food. The more i tried to concentrate the more it gets confusing. Miraculously our Maths professor changed to fried chicken spiced to the teeth displayed in a show glass.
My lower jaw couldnt help but drop, watery already not until i got a tap from my neighbour that she needs my attention..

Bleep ! ******************* **Phone rings ** hmm this one Charlie is calling me. Hope it is not about food oo. . That guy sha.. Although he lives with his parents, he sure knows how to arrive at the exact time when spoons are needed. I picked up the call.

Me: Charlie, guy food don finish oo,in fact we noo cook today nah Danmian side i wan go chop self..

Charlie: Hehehe guy you dey mad bah.. Which one come be this one nah?

Me: Noo , i just de talk oo, i know say you dey infront of my door now. That food wey dey scent there no be me cook ooo,nah the pastor wife for the next compound dey cook soo..

Charlie: Heheh , guy you no well, abeg come my house now i dey do birthday.. I de wait for Damian them make they come back from lecture..

Me: ehh guy i dey come nah nah nah..

** I dropped the phone **

I dont need anyone to direct me to Charlie’s house.. With the concentration of hunger in me my instinct were active as i located his house within a minute.. From distance i could hear music sound coming from the direction of Chalie’s house.. I barged in taking bold steps towards the entrance door flooded with foorwears.. i would have succeeded not until i heard a sound that attracted my 5 sense organs..

Whhoooaa whoooa its barked again.. I couldnt help but freeze as i slowly turn to see the creature.. . Just the size of the head like our church loud speaker caused gooose pimples sprinkle all around my body..as it crawls out from its kernel.. Slowly i retired towards the main gate..not only for another creature gladly wating for me to fall into its trap.. Then verily verily i fould out that the devil is currently using my picture as handfan. I slowly went down on my kneels and raised my right hand up. I didnt even knew when I started singing..

” Be my com…forter….Holy spirit As i am now in the dens of dogs.. My hope is soooooo Narrow” I opened one of my eyes to see whats happening in my surrounding..lo and behold the dogs now walking around me in circular motion.. Am very sure this time they are saying the prayer before meal.. I had wanted to say it is Finished !!!.. But something told me not to loose hope, i stretched my two hands further upwards and faced heaven…. Father!! You that saveth Daniel in the lions den..Daddy Even when his lions havent being fed for some days.. Daddy Father!! Even as the lions said their prayer before meal as they surround Daniel.. Daddy.

I did look down at the dogs once more to see if there is any effect only to see them smacking their lips patiently to see if i have finished saying my last prayer.. Father!! I screamed this time with tears in my eyes If you save Daniel in the lions den, Daddy, dog nah biscuit bone for you.. Father as you sent your Angel come silence the lion.. Daddy i no need write names of Noise makers before this dogs shut up.. Daddy, as..

Charlie : Heeyy Jack,billy get inside.. : ohh Fab am sorry , you should have knocked nah am sorry please dont be angry..

If only he knows that what he is telling me now is story for the gods.. I turned back immediately and went for the door.. Rubbish if to say i die now, nah dog dem go talk say kill me nonsense..as i soliloquized home.
