After talking to three of Chief’s friends and getting the same response, I knew it was time to walk away with the little dignity I had left.
I still appreciate all that God used him for in my life
Na husband I dey find now (I’m searching for a husband now)”
“Let’s assume that indeed God sent Chief to help you, are you sure that’s how God wanted him to help?”
I just had to ask the question…because somehow Deola didn’t sound like anything was wrong with the relationship she had with Chief Agbabiaka.
“You are still doing this your SU thing?” she responded
I went on to talk to her some more about Christ and how God turned everything around for my family after I walked away from my previous lifestyle. I told her about my new job, I told her about Sister Grace, I even told her about Folahan…not that I wanted to, but I needed to let her know that there are times we shortchange ourselves by embracing the devils’ imitation of blessings when God actually has something better in stock for us. I also invited her to our church in Abuja since she wasn’t a member of any.
“Hmmn…I have heard o.
Actually, I have tried to mingle at a few churches in Abuja but most of the brothers are unserious, they are either too stingy or looking for whom to ‘hit and run’ and I don pass that stage (I have outgrown that). I am 28 now and need to see what’s on the table before rolling my dice.
A larger percentage of the serious ones are too busy chasing money, they are not even considering marriage. They want girls that will hang in there and wait indefinitely. The few that are ready to settle down prefer younger girls and/or are already dating someone. Wetin person go do?
God should provide me a good husband and see if I will not serve Him forever”
She added jokingly.
We exchanged numbers and Deola promised to stay in touch…she also promised to check on me before going back to Abuja. She was travelling to Lagos for a work-related meeting and would be there for about a week.
It was a boring three weeks…most of the things they taught us, I already knew. The Training School was in Captain’s neighborhood and I hated that. It was one of my major reasons for moving to Abuja and not wanting to be in Lagos. During our lunch breaks, I would stay put in class while other members of my team were exploring the area or going out to eat.
