In my Ugliness

💕 Chapter 15 💔

"When the General secretary took hold of the microphone, he spoke about accepting God's leading and purpose. I cried while playing the keyboard, after the service, I rose up without control of myself. I had an encounter and I started having second thoughts about staying. Mom got angry when i cancelled my relocation. That was where our squabble started"

"I'm sorry. You're not on good terms with her? You said started"

"We don't see eye to eye on issues, we even had a big fight last night"

"Why? Sorry I asked" She asked and he waved his hands non challantly "It's nothing, it's a decision I made but she wanted to impose on mine. Mom can be very controlling" "Aren't all African Mom?"

"It's annoying, i'm 37 years old, i can make my decision"

"I'm sorry"

"Don't be. I don't regret my actions, it was the beginning of Gbadamosi George, that was the beginning of my life for me. With God, things became easy! 2011 I began ministry proper, after service, I went to Bible college and five years later, God gave me a mission to start WFC"

Kilahi nods, "That's quite a motivating story except your mother's part. Did she agree with ministry?" "Yes, we have a covenant of priesthood in the family so she wasn't shocked when I told her or when I was officially ordained Pastor. She was only pissed about me quitting my job. She wished I didn't leave London"

"Huh? London?"

"Yes. That was where I schooled and where I was given birth to"

"Whaaat?"

"Yeah"

"How long did you stay?"

"Ten initially then we returned for a reason I didn't quite know and I did my secondary school here, went back to the college afterwards"

Kilahi looked into his mouth, "What happened to your accent?" She asked making him laugh, "I knew you were going to ask" "I'm serious, this is a serious issue. Let's treat as important. What happened to your accent"

"I'm a real and patriotic Nigerian, it was dissolved and nationalized" "Toh, So It got lost in transition"

Gbadamosi clicked his tongue, "It's like you know this thing" "What about Manny and Mrs Temi?" "Nigerians to the core, they came over but they didn't stay as long as I did. We left after they did" "Wow.."

"Yes. You're staring at a citizen, sitting close to a UK citizen, you should pay money"

Kilahi laughed, "Have you ever sat close to an Igede woman before?" "No" "Start paying, consider it a honour" "Have you ever seen snow before?" He asked and then he slapped his face playfully, "Oh wait, today was your first time of entering into a real plane"

Kilahi flipped her hair withholding her laughter, "The only reason I'm not doing what I should do now is because you're a Pastor" "What do you want to do?" "Strangle you" She gestured and he smiled at her, "And i'll remove your wig too"

"Hehehe! My wig again."

"You're right, I haven't seen an Igede woman before. Tell me about Igede people?"

Kilahi shrugged, "I don't know... Why are you asking?" "Someone said i should make my findings, I'm making my investigations now" "I hope it's a good one before I get arrested"

"It is" He assured.

"Well.... There's always a good part and bad part in every tribe so... let me settle on the good. We're hardworking, industrious, smart, beautiful, a good number of us are, Benue girls are usually beautiful"
