One faithful night i got a call from my brother's girlfriend, asking if he told me he'll be going anywhere... I pondered on the question for a second and then she told me he had stepped out almost an hour ago to buy something...
Ah God almost 10:30pm, where could he be? He wasn't taking calls, my brother has beards, uses iPhone, mkmk. Ouhe's good looking, he dresses well, he has a special gold necklace from his girlfriend he's always wearing... What if SARS don stop am for road"
Then it occurred to me i had dreamt in the early hours 9f that same day that he was taken away from us... Dreams are never clear, but i sure remember that i woke up and prayed against anyone being taken away from us untimely
I almost started to panic, maybe i didn't pray well, hah! What if SARS has carried him, what if he has even been shot because he has all the attributes that SARS people are looking out for... An hour later, his call came in...
And there it was... "mama I'm fine, I'm home now" I ended the call and that was when I remembered to pray with hot tears of joy... I can't even remember what I prayed about again... But I know i said a little prayer for him
Then i called back with the big sister voice trying not to show that i was worried or had been crying "where were you" my emotions failed, the question came out with my voice shaking in tears he said "na SARS oh, they couldn't find anything on me and decided to waste my time"
Then he said "don't cry again I'm fine, I'm home. I was glad. But WHAT IF? WHAT IF he didn't come back home, WHAT IF he was unfortunate? The ones who have been killed indiscriminately can't tell this WHAT IF story
That's why we have to stand together this time around,, there is no other time right enough for this! The people are united ✊ #EndSARS #EndSarsNow #PoliceBrutality #EndSARSImmediately
