My journey into ISLAM…
On the 8th of January 2012. I called my
uncle, Baba Lanre…please, come and help me give my mum her food stuffs,
drugs and monthly allowance. There will be strike tomorrow. My uncle
left. At exactly 12:30 pm that same day, Baba Lanre called. “Solape,
Eganmidogo. Mama ti ku oo”.
I laughed and end the call. He called
back again. “Didn’t you hear what I said? Mama ti ku. Infact she had
fish in her hand and her mouth. Then I realised what has hit me, I
picked my car key and rushed down to where she was. That was the day I
realised that if any child decide to be a bad child you will face your
shame alone..because where you are suppose to spend money ti o ba ri owo
yo that shame can ruin you ….hmmm. But meanwhile, two days before that
day. My able Speaker of Lagos State Hon. Mudashir Obasa was an
Honourable Member before he became the Speaker. I use to drop any of my
goods in his office. I don’t know if he took out of the goods or
not…kokanmi. I know Egbon will pay for the goods. Once I spoil my mouth
and say Egbon Mi, patronise me don’t let me be jobless. He will just say
oya drop it ..atimes I will drop over size palm slippers ..he will say
Lizzy this slippers is to big ….I will say Egbon Mi, please give it to
your Ward members ??. Hon. called me that faithful Friday. He said,
“Lizzy where are you? Come and collect your money.
There will be strike on Monday or do you
have any money that will sustain you during the strike”? I shouted …
rara sir o, I am behind your office sir. I spent the whole day hustling
up and down somewhere in Ogun State to sell my WosiWosi. He called
around 11am in the morning . This Egbon waited in his office till
6:30pm. He paid me my money and also gave megave 10k extra. I knelt down
and prayed for him and left. It was part of that money I sent to Mama
as part of her monthly allowance. So, when they called me that Mama is
no more. I rush to were I kept the remaining money and some little
change I kept under the bed and pillow, packed everything and rushed
down to where she was. On getting there, I met Mama sleeping all by
herself. Her whole body has changed.
I called her several times, Mama did not
answer. I saw some notes under her pillow. My mother has been taking
notes of all the things I’ve been sending to her and how I’ve been
taking care of her since when I was young up till that very day. She
wrote something at the end of one the notes. “Anytime she die, nobody
should take her to the Mortuary.” @ iya enny we both saw the note abi
and I could remember right from when I was a teenager, my mother used to
tell me that she does not want her dead body to be taking to the
Mortuary when she dies. She doesn’t like the Mortuary atall. When I
remembered and I realised that strike is starting the next day, Walahi I
was cold and scared.
I immediately stood up and
said…..please, is there any nurse to inject Mama? Their response was
that, all the nurses have all gone home due to the strike that is going
to hold tomorrow. Is there any Mortuary around this area? Ahhh, ani
gbogbo won ti losi ile won. Then I realised that baba nla set up le leyi
o…..She meant what she said that she doesn’t like Mortuary. I stood up
and said to everybody. I will bury my mother tonight. Some people were
murmuring. Where is the money? How? Of course, my mother was born into a
Muslim family but we sleep in church several times during the struggles
so we are automatically Christians. While on the sick bed, she still
attend Church Service.
So, please call me Mama Pastor. They called almost 10 Pastors, once they look at Mama’s face. She is not our member. I was mad at everything and it almost turned into riot. someone confronted one of the Pastor. “..#OlnyIfTheDeadCanbeGiving2ndChance #TakecareofyourparentIfyouHaveOne
