March 21, 2013 — Sir Farouk
Sore morning.
I am pretty sure the drink I made before bed had nothing to do with it (think Jagermeister, Peach Schnapps, Captain Morgan, Smirnoff, Grenadine and some berry blast). You see I had played football the previous evening. On the pitch I do the dirty job (no not going down on guys!), I am the defensive midfielder. In my mind’s eye, I must be the Nigerian Gattusso. As I would on the football pitch, I was keen to tackle the new day head on. I had one thing I was looking forward to or two depending on the frequency. At 1:39am, I got a curious whatsapp message from a female friend of mine asking to come see me today. Now how can a gentleman refuse such an offer? It is unheard of! Bet you want to know more, Amebo! Tattle tale! *points accusing finger at reader while swallowing 10 capsules of burantashi*
My day started — as most of my days this year — without a prayer. To say I have had a crisis of faith would be a misnomer and no, there has not been any traumatic event to make me question the existence of God. On the contrary, me and my #OgaAtTheTop know that for now I am not an atheist. I have just reasoned myself out of feeling anything about religion. I am a doubter and this makes me highly unpopular when I speak my mind in Nigeria. I believe that almost everything has a logical explanation that we are yet to understand, if we do not already. I might burn for this paragraph. *shrug*, who wants to sing for eternity anyway?
I am on an 8 month training program for newly hired engineers (Yay me!), and my first task involved me being at the mechanical workshop pictured above making a piece of metal from the lathe. The rest of my day involved classes, goofing off, food, listening to Lianne Le Lavas (She’s my boo) and making one/two minute noodles with the aforementioned friend. Now I am going to study for a test I have on Saturday while I watch season 5 of fringe.
God bless Nigeria!
