Flashback Memories pt 2

Gemini

Two Faced

Split thoughts

Confliction

Indecisions

Greed

Hungry

Ambitious

Some words are best left unsaid

Some race are best raced alone

Some space are best lived with no company

Some wars are best fought alone

Let me take you on a journey to somewhere in the south western part of Nigeria. i am a proud daughter of the soil, living and improving on self each and everyday. I was fortunate to meet this elderly man one blessed day like that oo. Something attracted me, and that was his appellation 

BABA GBO TI E ( Father face your business)

BABA GBO TI E ( Father face your business)

BABA GBO TI E ( Father face your business)

At first, I was perplexed, it was all written on my face. then i asked, why on earth will both young and old people call him this insulting name, of all the appellation in this world? like hello???

so I called him Baba! (father) this man refused to answer oo, then i called him his appellation Baba Gbo Tie! ( Father face your business)and he responded in Ekiti dialect Tere nikan shaaaaaaaaa (your Business Onlyyyy)

i was at the verge of bursting into laughter but that would have been rude. i greeted him and sat beside him. Then, i asked, baba, why do people call you this name?

He said, this world is just too brutal, for your creator to regret creating you, do you know what that means little girl? 

Face your Business only and be gracious while at it

that was his advice to me

that was his advice to everybody

when you greet him, be sure to get same advice as his response to your greetings

hardly will you hear any other word from this man(lol)

 "Gbo tie nikan shaaaaa"

Dear Reader,

We are back from our journey, hope you enjoyed it.

Gbo tie nikan shaaaaaaaaa 

Face your business only and at all times.

Ciao Ciao

Flashback Memories

 

I had no time for my eyebrow's drama, so I left without contouring and turned out cool, after series of stares at the mirror, i almost questioned my existence, i finally took a stroll out to get a hot peppered assorted soup from my all time favorite seller with the last 3k on me.... the feeling of not being there yet, watching people under me soar so high but i still flapping wings, not because i am lazy and weak but i have come to a realization that it is just life happening to me. as much as i try to show the whole world how strong I am, I still feel dejected somehow anytime I'm alone.

so i strolled out to get my soup, and sleep thereafter, Aik came to my rescue, he parked beside me and I thought it was one of those internet fraudsters that feel they have arrived (lol) i was so ready to transfer my well garnished aggressions but whoop! whoop!, it was a crush that graduated to a friend and later upgraded to a brother.

now, let me tell you about Aik, the very first day I saw him, I tripped, I could not help but stare at him and it took my some couple of seconds to regain my consciousness. he was looking so handsome and clean. he approached me and asked me some questions, i responded with all smile on my face. but when he raised up his left hand i noticed he was married and that sucked up all my feelings and affections for him. i was so  disappointed because i am the good girl that does not run after married men.

I guessed he knew I tripped for him so he collected my number and we got along, we chat once in a while about lifestyle, business, real estate, banking, etc. trust me, he is a good man and his wife is one lucky woman although I am yet to meet her.

I hopped in his car and he warned me about strolling at night, i had to pour out my mind and told him about the cravings then he took me to his friend's newly opened bar, gosh! the place is one unique  avenue for relaxation. the whole concept and interior design was so unique and the memory still lives in my small head.

I did not only get a well sauced pepper soup bowl, I had the chance to gist and giggle, not only that, he said one thing :"Yewande, live in the moment"

My dear reader, value the people around you. take your time to leave a sweet memory with them so that when you are not around, your good work can speak for you. Everyone is unique and has different level of sensitivity.

Flashback Memories, all in its glory. some memories will keep you off balance and you will wish you had not come into this world while some give goosebumps. Either way, live in the moment darling.
