AM AFRAID – DAD!
Lagbaja: Good Morning Child
Child: Morning Dad
Lagbaja: Just want to inform you of my trip to Kwara State, to sit for a written test…..
Child: I thought you are through with school dad?
Lagbaja: Yeah, not school this time around, just trying to get a job so I can feed and take care of you when you are around here
Child: Oh! Thank you, dad
lagbaja: We are about a million young people trying to fill about 100,000 positions nationwide
Child: Dad! And you want me to come to such a place. Don’t you have leaders who care?
Lagbaja: Nope, we got rulers who care about their pockets only. But we are working to ensure they are all gone before your arrival.
Child: Has the power supply, health, and education system improved? I remember you told me about a man with no shoe……
Lagbaja: No improvement child, the man without shoe is a LIAR, after all, he deceived us all. he got lots of shoes now, but he is using it to trample upon us, leaving the thieves in his government to walk the land a free people.
Child: Am I sure I want to come…..? may be next time you have a man without shoe, you should contribute some money, buy him a pair and tell him to walk away without an option of calling a friend or using fifty-fifty (Child smiling)
Lagbaja: Please don’t do that. Come and in good time to child. We shall get rid of him and his likes before your arrival, please sss SSE! You know I love you…
Child: I need to sleep dad, its peaceful in here, no Boko Haram nor crime here, everything is working well. Goodluck in your test Lagbaja…. Ah! Sorry, I mean dad
Lagbaja: it’s okay dear; I’d prefer Best of Luck. Goodluck seems not to work, at least not here in Naija. Speak to you soon.
