PRAYER

You must thank God, because you have a place to stay. This comment of Alhaji Goni is not understood i continued to research to come to a term with Ahaji Goni's comment. Prayer is a way of communicating with God, in the Bible there is the Lord's prayer; which says our father who art in heaven hallow be the name your kingdom come as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread for give us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us and delivered us from evil. Every tribe all over the world have a way of prayers, in Igala language we call God Ojo, mighty God Ojo chamachalla Ojo bumine, Means ; God help me, Ojo agba mumigba, uwe uma uwe nabi, ke che mi ogahala, means; God you only i know help me and forgive me my sin.In a situation of Alhaji Goni he like me to take me to be the God, this his idea simply meant so.the are four in number i, am the only security guard in the house, let say he put it this way, the work in this house is too much for only you, let us employ one or more person to assist, i can simply understand the statements, every day i wash this gentle man's car for just like that, and his comment about me does not tend to improve my condition of service, like one small girl that is entering your room her father will trace you one day after washing of the car i sweep the compound clear grasses around the estate, for a one thausand naira, according by him i,am enjoying one bed room, but it is not Goni's house it is my landlord's house, who told me when i was in the house as a house keeper before it was rented to them, chairman as we used to call Hon. Isa Hassan, you are going to remained in the house till everything are completed you can now transfer to the security boot we will take care of you. at the end the house has been completed he spoke through the Gm. Ahaji Abdulahi we have finished with you since people have occupy the house we are not going to pay you as we use to, get them and agree with each other if you would render any service the will take over your salary. and they as the same time informed them [tenant] that they should continue to pay me a salary, and the tenant called me and told me that they are going to assist me with one thounsan naira as a salary if i like i should remained with them, i  agree on the condition that i can perform duty during the night only,the pay the money through out 2010, only in 2011 complaining from all quoter as regard to my duties, i must respect everyone in the house including their children, but Goni have ceased from paying me, since the begining of 2011.

LIVING FOR THE DAY.

I have arrived in the situation where i will apply my experience, a woman was acting in a maner, to determines my action, she position herself, probably as a prove of finance asset, i quickly revived my experience when i was friending one lady when i was in the police force at Geidam, now, yobe state when she was preginated and she cocealed the priginat and instead announced to me, if i did not get weded to her now she would not get intercourse with me any more, and  she delivered the baby to another father, the woman iam trying to link with the event one Hajiya a wife to one of the tenant, at my place of work, was requesting me to clean her car without xtra pay while they are contributing to pay me she would be using me as her house boy, i resisted she complained to her husband instead of her husband Alhaji Goni to ask from me the Goni whom have turned me to his house boy, called a meeting to ask me my duty as a security guard, answering the question with my police experiences i do not find difficult to answered, [ simple protection of life and properties] though unlike the police i just put it in other way, iam arround and see if needed i can assist whatever brabra-----you are not doing your work said the Barrister, i came back from often you are not around to open gate which is offence number one. He concluded, well, if you observed anytime you did not meet me may be it is prayer time, i defended. no Goni came in you cannot leave your post and go to mosq,iam working with a minister and there is mosq in our office yet we never go out of office we pray in our office, But i disagree with him.
