*************************

He’s God of perfection: no mistake, no error just a matter of time. I pray when your appointed time comes, death will not take you away.

…………………………..

Me: The name you mentioned and your description was just like a man I knew sometimes ago, But don’t worry it can’t be him(I acted in pretence).

Adejoke: alright.

Me: where is that your baby
now?

Adejoke: he’s in government orphanage home.

Me: what a pity! He’s a boy? Adejoke: yes o.

That’s my greatest concern. How will I explain to him when he eventually asks of his father.

Me: don’t worry God will guide us about that. How old is he now?

Adejoke: five years old.

Me: that means you are in your sixth years in prison now?

Adejoke: yes.

As we were discussing a lifer(a prisoner that was sentenced to life imprisonment) from another cell named Banga came to us……..

Banga: as you knows that I don’t have hope of getting out of here alive, I just want the two of you to take care of my property when you go out of here.

Adejoke: please Banga, we are discussing an important issue here. Please excuse us.

Me: relax(signalling Joke), sit down please.

Adejoke: don’t mind her Temmy, she killed her husband just because he impregnated her friend.

Me: is that true Banga?

Banga: its true but I had a
reason.

Me: can I know the reason?

Banga: (crying)……………

After lot of persuading, she began her narratiom…..

Banga: I was dating him since when we were in 100 Level in university. He’s an orphan with no body to finance his education. I paid his tuition fees, rented house for him, bought him clothes till we both graduated. After our graduation, my father made me the director of his biggest company, Al-ameen stock exchange. All that time he was still roaming around the street taking his credential from one company to another for appointment. I called him one day to come our house.

When he arrived, I introduced him to my father. He welcomed him. During their discussion my father got
to know that he’s a Christian and that’s the begining of my problem.

At that moment, my dad
became furious and called the security to drag him out after telling him that her daughter can’t marry christian.

I persuaded my father to let me marry him but he insisted that I can’t. I was so depressed with his decision because I was passionately in love with him besides five years relationship.

I couldn’t go to office for about three days which made my father to come my room.
I asked him why he hates
christian? He replied, I don’t hate Christian at my youthful age because the holy book(Al-Qur’an) said “there must be tolerance for another person believes”. When I
graduated, I can’t remember how many shoes I lost to looking for job. After three years of trying, I seeked for an appointment in a company which I read their advert placement on a daily newspaper. I submitted all their requirements, went for
interview and passed. I was informed that I should resume work on the following week via my e-mail. I was so happy
that day that I noted it as the most happiest day in my life.

I told my mum to help me borrow money so as to buy suit so that I can dress cooperately. When I got to work the following week, I met the GM of the company because he was on business trip then. He accessed my credentials but immediately he noticed that I was a Muslim he asked them to terminate my appointment. What a wicked being(I thought)! If I were God that day, I would have command
the earth to swallow him alive. I returned home as the most hopeless and dejected person in the world. I couldn’t explain
anything to my mum that very day until the following
day. It took me another four years before I could secure the job that eventually made me whom I am today. The most painful thing to me was that, my mum was humiliated
severally before I couldn’t repay the money I used to bought that suit. She eventually died of cancer due to my inability to pay her medical bill. Since then, I don’t associate myself with
them.

After my dad shared his opinion, I begged him
to forget the past for that’s the part of trials Allah want him to pass through to affirm his faith as Qur’an says “believer will be subject to series of trial but verily those who stand on their path will be rewarded”. After much of pleas, he agreed with me.

To my surprise, that very night my father was assassinated by gang of boys.
