Once Upon A Corper - Season 2 - Episode 62

15TH OF DECEMBER 2015, THE LARGEST CITY IN WEST AFRICA

I got to Sister Esther’s apartment around 10.05am after taking a bike from Top garden in Agodi. I changed took my bath, eat and patiently waiting when I would be heading home. I slept for 2 hours before I finally woke up. I saw some couple of missed calls from my boss and a friend of mine. I know I will surely face my boss tomorrow so there is no need returning his call. He is just a pain in the yanch. (Laughs) Sister Esther and her apprentice which I discovered that her name was Lola was still their sowing.

Maybe I forgot to add that Sister Esther was a fashion designer. I put a call through to Eniola to ask about her whereabouts. I was actually thinking if we could travel down to ogun state together but her line was not reachable. When it was 3pm, I started packing my bags, heading towards the exit door. Sister Esther assisted me with some of my bags down to the junction of her street where I got a bike. I got to Iwo road around 4pm, boarded a bus going to Sango.

January 8th is the day given to me and my peeps to come back for the full registration and PPA things! Next up is the preparation for Ugo’s wedding coming up this weekend. Yes! December 19 has been the date we’ve all been waiting for and I really wait for that day to come.
Fast forward to 18th December, work has been so tedious. It’s just as if all the office work was waiting for me to come back. And to make the matters worse, yesterday, 17th of December was the visitation of the external auditors.

Now I see the reasons why my boss has been disturbing me to come back. Quadri has done a good job while I was away but their won’t be any chance of any bleep up if an around and any mistake would be a non-conformity for the department and that would be a big stain on our record because ever since I joined the organization, I maintained a clean sheet of no non-conformity in both internal and external audit.

When I was about to close for the day, I went to meet my Boss to inform him that I will be leaving the office very early the next day which was on Saturday because of my brother’s wedding which I must attend. Of course Ugo is my brother, yea, and a brother from another mother. He grumbles a bit before finally granting it. The next day, I pulled a call across to Iya Ijo and Officer Thomas so we could go there together. I got a small gift pack for the occasion. Gloria, Ugo and I’s mutual friend lives around ikorodu, so I want to use the opportunity to see her too so I called her that to use the opportunity to see her too so I called her that she must come for the wedding also. After convincing her, she finally agreed to come.

Ugo’s wedding was glamorous. A typical igbo wedding. Ugo must have been saving well enough towards this wedding. It was just a traditional wedding. Goddy, the Goddynator was already there orchestrating things. He really tried. We were also expecting Matosha who also promised to come but at the end, we couldn’t see his break light. Am sure he was having a good time with his NYSC girlfriend, Mariam.

I was really happy for Ugo. Finally tying the knot with Beautiful Onyinye! Ugo was dressed in typical Delta attire with a walking stick. How I wish Ejike and landlord was also here with us. Am sure none of the bride’s maid would return home without Ejike collecting their digits. Ejike, the bad boy! I saw some old faces at the wedding. Aunty Nurse, Ugo’s former neighbor at Aduke Thomas. Let’s you know, she was the one that nicknamed Ugo ‘’Pastor’’ because of all the different girls Ugo claimed to be preaching to in his room. I can’t stop laughing the day she told me. Am sure Ugo won’t dare that again, now that there is a beautiful bride in Onyinye. He won’t want to try the Ogbono and Egusi theory. Do you still want to ask what the theory is all about? No woooooray. Like landlord will say…
