It more clear to me now that things happen for a reason, It was weekend and my roommate decided to leave to her boyfriend house and it was boring for me staying in a two bedroom apartment so I decided to travel to the village to see my mother who is a government primary school teacher.
The only pronounce dignitaries in the village are the people that work directly with the state and the federal government and as at that very period of time, my country was facing money scarcity because the government wanted to make sure that the 2023 presidential election will be free and fare, so this was the idea and everyone in my place where facing hard time, and we believe it was for the good.
As a matter of fact money scarcity was affecting transportation, businesses, agriculture, education and other wise, so travelling from the city to my village was difficult and I could still remember how hard it was for me to get a vehicle to my community and even as that! the time waisted, believe me it was so stressful.
so because of the placing challenges, I got to my family house at night and I could remembered, i got there by 8:30pm, however I was very happy because my mother made Eba and melon soup which is my favorite meal, so I was very happy that very night, because she prepared my favorite meal.
like they say mother's food is the best, there is how my mother fly her melon soup with vegetable leaf that will make the aroma of the meal tumble the neighborhood, so she did all this because of my visiting, i do not know that hunger was very active in the village, so the people leaving in the neighborhood started asking her if she's celebrating birthday and there was group of hoodlum boys that stays in our neighborhood.
Then after a little while, I went to my room to refreshing up and immediately I enter my restroom, the light went off and the whole house was dark, and suddenly I heard a voice from the living room calling my name, Victory! Victory...oh, so I had to untie the towel I was rapping on my body and put on my short jean and before I could step out of the door my mum was already outside the house so I went to meet with her.
I asked "mama whatever up?" she answered nothing much, my dear, it's just the generator that doesn't want to start, so I ask her handover the generator handle to me so she could get inside and set the table for dinner.
so luckily I was able to start the generator and before I could get back to the house, I heard a sounds of motorcycles (bike) packing at the front of the house.
And each of the motorcycle was carrying two guys, they where all shouting "bam there" so I got scared and hit my leg and fall down on the process, when i try to run inside the house.
so while I was on the floor I was calling on my mother to come and lock the door for her safety.
I didn't know my mother was already on the floor and started speaking in tongue, so they got me and took me to the house.
I was asked to sit down and relax that they're not here for money, I was still shivering trying not to look at their faces, so one of them came to me and instructed me to raise my face up, so that i will hear him clearly.
so I lift up my face and look his direction, he ask me to stand up majestically and go to the kitchen and bring out all the food, including the ones in the fridge out, that they are very hungry, so at that moment, i was feeling relax and do as he instructed.
I ask my mum to give me the kitchen keys, so I can receive our guest by providing cola for them, she directed me where I would get the keys to the kitchen while our hungry guess where in the dining waiting for me, so they succeeded by eating everything eatable in the house, including the meal my mom prepared for me.
The most annoying part was that, the leader of hoodlum took my mother's keys away, we have to vut it and gets access to the kitchen, he did this so he can come and est as he likes, he doesn't knows that when next he comes here, we will keep a very big dog at the gate and he would not be able to lass through to the kitchen.
They thank my mum and ask her to prepare a meal as delicious as the type the just ate the following day, so when they come, there will be something for them to eat.
I have to slept hungry that very night and I will never forget it because it was so frustrating throughout the night, i was changing sleeping styles so many times before the day break.
