The events that played out a few minutes later made me regret why I agreed to this baby girl treatment, because I was about to really be treated.
Four masked guys walked in, but that was not the striking thing about them. THEY WERE WITH GUNS!
Talk about people getting treated. Please let’s continue.
The number of ‘Jesus’ and ‘Blood of Jesus’ I heard was enough to last me a life time. You could practically smell fear in the atmosphere. You know the next thing that will follow “EVERYBODY LIE DOWN!”
One of them manned the door, while the other three coordinated the lying down process. If you were too slow to lie down, you would be dragged down or kicked down. Either way, you will still go down.
“Make all of una just corporate. As you see me so na vampire I be, if any of una just mescaphone I go drink una blood. Oya submit your phones!!
Everyone began to obey in fear. Luckily for me I had two phones. I submitted one and left the other. But this kind luck na wa.
“You!” The ring leader as he pointed the gun at one on the employees. That’s why I don’t like working were everyone is wearing uniform.
“S…si…sir” he responded, shaking.
“Carry me go meet your madam” he dragged the young man up as he fearfully led him to a door behind the cashier’s counter. Sneaky woman, with all the shouts she no gree come outside.
“Rambo, Scorpion, any of them wey do any how, knack am two by two.” He gave his last orders and dragged the staff away.
You know the bible says foolishness abides in the heart of a child, but the rod of correction would drive it out. In my case it was a bullet of correction that would drive both me and the foolishness out of this world. I secretly started texting my cousin who was a top security personnel in the Nigerian Army. He taught me some simple codes to text him if I ever found myself in such situations as this; I just thank God I paid attention. But trust the deceptive planner the devil, they didn’t see me when I was texting, it was when I tried to hide the phone again that I was caught.
“YOU DEY CRAZE!” He yelled. “Come here.” He ordered again.
“Wetin happen?” the other guy asked.
“This Barney think say na superhero she be. Na your dead body your mama go come carry today.” That last statement was directed to me. Unfortunately for me a gun accompanied the statement.
I stood there in fear as I watched to guy point the gun at me with a sick smile. In the flash of the moment, my life passed before me.
“But God this was not what you promised me. This was not how you said I would die. Is this how the life of your baby girl would end?
“Them they talk say the stubborn fly na him they follow dead body go grave.” The guy mocked.
“YOU ARE NOT A FLY.” Came the soft whispers of the Holy Spirit
I did not even know when I voiced out ‘yes I am not a fly.’
“ This girl think say na play i dey play,” he threatened. Suddenly scriptures began to flood into my mind.
The more I chanted the more I got confident. I began to see myself in the dream I had earlier that day and I heard a voice in my spirit “DANCE.”
