MR CORDELIA AND ZEDICUS PIRO
I heard a knock on my door at about 6:30am ,the sound of it tells me it was from someone with respect and in need. I sigh heavily who could be disturbing my Saturdays sleep. I hesitated to open with the second strongly thought that it may be Jehovah Witnesses looking for who to feed half done words of God. The knock continued and i shouted who is there? "Its me Sir, sorry to disturbing ", the male voice replied in the typical tone of an Effik Individual.
I said a little prayer thanking God for the gift of life and pleaded for his forgiveness upon my sinful ways before i stepped to open the door. "Good morning and amecerende Oga Zedicus Piro". i said Young man which one should i answer,? He replied "any ones of likings". His English almost pushed me to the ground but my right senses pardon him,its not his first language. The man spoke on "Oga Zedicus Piro abeg nbok,kuyasek i wantod asking you for a Favourite", You mean Favour?, "Yes,see the ways you call ham sweeting, Words No Be Problem you be bad individuals". What Favour, don't ask me what i can't do this early morning, i replied. He said " I came there findinings in if your suck away don full. I then remembered the man "na you been empty our septic pit so that year? He excitedly said No o, na me o, i came to find out if the suck away never full." You needed extreme caution when dealing with This very particular man who bares Mr Cordelia, his name will introduce who you are facing. I said Mr Cordelia the septic tank is not yet filled. He ecstatically responded "No am not talking about the tank,i said suck suck away,that one wae una there shit prupru put". I said "Mr Cordelia you can speak fair English Language like this eh." "Oga Zedicus Piro Na so my English there always become each time wae person want deny me work." Mr Cordelia am not denying you work, our septic pit or suck away is not yet filled. Mr Cordelia said he doesn't believe because its been 3years since he emptied it. He went to check it,got back lamenting "Na waoh,its true true you talk Oga Zedicus Piro but e be like say the recession capital there Una compound , Buhari it shall not be well with you, during Goodluck Jonathan Na every Six Months una there come call me to come pack these una compound shit but now na me there even come meet una,Oga abi no be true?" I said its true my dear Cordelia, "am Mr Cordelia not dear Cordelia but its alright, am going ,I will check back next year again or better be when Buhari leaves office but Oga Zedicus Piro find me workmanship money Na in advance, I said who does that ? He laugh and left resiting who does that=GoodLuck Jonathan! Who doesn't that=Buhari !!. Who does that=A generous Man, Who doesn't that = Doesn't know for long life sake.
I went back in to continue my Saturday sleep but the sleep was sleeping on it own and refuse to answer me. I took my phone to publish some blog posts, before i could write three sentences i heard my name Zedicus Piro. I Raise my head up but didn't hear any sound again. I continued writing after three additional sentences i heard my name again Zedicus Piro, i walked out of the room to the apartment of Chally my neighbor. Hi sexy neighborhood you called me but she said No, I went back to my room. I wrote three sentences and heard my name again ,this time it was so loud and echoed in my ear. I went and knocked Chally again sweet beautiful neighborliness you called me but she said no Zedicus Piro, its not me but if you hear the voice again say speak lord your servant is all ears.
I went back immediately into my room ,removed cotton board and clean my ears properly then continued writing after three more sentence i didn't head my name,I was relieve but at the six sentence, i heard my name Zedicus Piro, I quickly spoke, speak loud your servant has clean his ears. The voice said "Words No Be Problem bring your plate, my Afan Soup is ready." I asked where are you ? ,the voice replied "Can't you perceive ,bring the plate fast before i changed my mind". I followed the aroma behold it was from Chally's Kitchen. I knocked she came out with a rugged countenance and said "Zedicus Piro do you have a dictionary in your room, I said yes, go and check another word that is greater than greed, that's what best describe you". I said "i checked it before coming out of my room, the word is Wisdom." She collected the plate and put small Afan soup for me. I asked her do you have a dictionary in this house,she said No, i entered my room and brought Oxford Dictionary and gave to her, oya open it and check another word that is greater than Stingy that's what best describe you.
I went back to my room, as i was about eating someone knock on my door, i ran with the food for safety. Behold it was Mr Cordelia again
Mr Cordelia: Oga Zedicus Piro you called me",
Zedicus Piro: it's that a question or statement,
Mr Cordelia: Both
Zedicus Piro:well i didn't call you.
Mr Cordelia: Sorry for disturbance you,
Zedicus Piro: You really have to be.
I brought out the food to eat again, i heard a knock but didn't move the food away, who is that? its me Mr Cordelia,
Zedicus Piro: What is it again
Mr Cordelia: Oga you called me again.
I got angry, take this dictionary and check another word for Greed and disturbance, Mr Cordelia said no need for the dictionary, its call hunger and persistence , when you are hungry, you become greedy and persistence but when you refuse giving to those hungry you become stingy and wicked. How do i know those who are hungry? He replied every human is hungry and every human can give. give and keep the chain on.
LESSON: Be generous without any conditions, some may have the audacity to ask and be persistence while others won't but if you have ever been in need you will understand what it means to give. Giving keeps life providing. GOD BLESS YOU
ME IS ZEDICUS PIRO AND YOU KNOW SAY WORDS NO BE PROBLEM
