Last week I received an email that my visa application have been approved.
I leaped joyously and started dancing, making loud noises. My boss had to call me to order.
When i got home that day i tendered my resignation letter to focus on my relocation plan.
The fact i was leaving nigeria for good tickled me with a sensation of great excitment. Traveling out of nigeria had become a prayer point i prayed from childhood, the current economy isn't favourable at all.
I was determined to leave and never return.
I bought new clothes and gave out the old ones, i barbed molo (skin hair). I did all this because i don't want to take even a hair from here to where i was going. I even urinated my last urine in Niger•ia.
Nigeria don tire me.
On reaching the airport this morning, i followed all procedure to checkmate an easy flight. I was really jumping around to say farewell to this country.
I noticed while outside a man dressed like a pilot was pointing at me to his collegue, i wasn't bothered. What is my bussiness??.
We entered the aeroplane in anticipation to take off when suddenly the pilot came out to address us.
"Ladies and gentlmen, due to climatic condition i'm sorry we can't take off right now. The flight is cancelled"
Before he could complete his statement i have already jerk•ed up walking straight to him.
"Na lie, oga enter plane make we dey go" I confronted him to the amusement of everyone.
"Sorry Mr, we value the lives of our passengers" The pilot responded.
"No na because e don reach my turn to travel comot, weather no come good" I was pained, i felt like we should take off immediately.
"It's unfortunate we can't do anything sir"
"Something can be done, don't tell me that. Give me key, i can drive the plane if you dey fear oga" I demanded seriously.
The pilot and passengers just overlooked me like i wasn't making sense.
"This is a plan to cage me in nigeria, why were you pointing at me outside" I digressed into speaking eloquent english angrily.
