noon. I got a PING! From my sister in school at Osun
state reminding me of the bucks needed to be sent to
her unfailingly that Monday as Tuesday would be too
late.
Gamzook! I zoomed off to board a bus journeying to
GTB Bank at Pako , Ipaja which was actually the
nearest to my work place. The bus sets out.
Mid way to the bank, I caught a glimpse of the time on
my phone. Alas! It's 4:17pm already. It's indubitable that banks in Nigeria closes by 4:00pm. I suddenly muttered 'Driver, I need to alight right here right now'.
All passengers fixed their gaze at me in surprise.
But amazingly, the driver was probably deafened by
his concentration on the wheel that he actually didn't
hear me or pretends not to.
I kept mute and continued with the journey since I had
paid the fare already. What a waste of time journeying
to my destinated bus terminal when I was rest
assured the bank had closed and was almost
saddened how I disappointed my dear sister who is
dire need of the money. She ping me asking where if I made it to the bank. I replied 'on my way there'. Disappointedly she replied, 'it's past 4 already'.
The bus eventually got to my destination, Pako Bus
stop. I alighted and quickly move at the speed of
towards the bank I supposed have closed.
But alas! A
couple of persons were still allowed in by the
automatic door. Wow! I was one of such persons. My joy knew no bound. I blessed God the driver didn't
stop.
I then wonder, there are times God is driving us to our
destination and we pray otherwise. He ignores such
prayers. Just don't blame Him. He sees the end from
the beginning. I decree in Jesus name, you shall laugh at last! Praise
awaits God over your situation in Jesus' name!
