Saturday 22 February 2014

At a table in a candle-lit
restaurant, a man and woman
were having dinner, and the
following conversation ensued:
Man: Baby, I love you, would you
please marry me?
Woman: (stands up and lands a
stinging slap on his face) I have
waited more than 9yrs, I have
prayed, fasted, sowed seeds,
bought books and listened to tapes, even
went out of my
way to be nice to every male
specie of marriageable age! I
took up new hobbies, watching
football and play station. I went to Daystar, from Daystar, I went to
House
on the Rock, from
House on the rock I went to
Guiding Light Assembly, Phronesis
Christian Centre int'l, MFM, Christ Embassy, Redeemed, from there I
went to This Present Winners looking
everywhere for you. l
went from a size 14 to a size
10, so that when you see me
you’d love what you see. I left Lagos, went to Abuja, from
Abuja I went to Port- Harcourt, then I
went all the way to Kano
I joined hi-five, from hi-five to
Facebook, then I went to
twitter, I even had a blog on which I ranted, hoping you would show up! For where? I uploaded only
my
best pictures on
Facebook, in fact I took photo
sessions to look my best, all for you o! I attended all the
weddings, whether the invitation
was direct or indirect! The next place
I was
hoping to
check was the moon, before you crawled out, crawled out from
the house directly next to mine!
So it was you all this while? The
neighbour I said hello to every
morning?
Were you trying to destroy my faith?
You almost rendered my prayer
life useless?
What were you waiting for?
What sign where you looking for? Do
you want to kill me
before you reveal yourself?!!!
Now be a gentleman, get down
on your knees and put that ring
on my finger!!
. . . . The Guy replied, "April Fool.
