Morning

I woke up a lil bit late because of staying up late last night, went downstairs for breakfast obviously I was the last person to eat in the morning, took money from Big Bro and went off to buy fuel so that we can pick up from where we left off last night with the plans we were drafting.

With the sound of the Gen running in the background, we started drafting once more, a couple of hours later big Bro remembered that he has an appointment with someone who lives along opobo road, quickly I rounded up the current set of sheets I was working on, he called the bike man on the phone to pick us up, and soon we heard the horn from the cyclist, we rushed downstairs and zoomed off, he made a stop at the school his children attends to pay their school fees, so I took this picture.

Some minutes later he was out and big Bro was like “Man I told someone right now that we’re at Ngwa road, you gotta make it happen” boom!! We’re bouncing at high speed on a sandy terrain, thankfully I was in the middle so I didn’t have to bother falling off, and oh we barely missed her! The motorcycle took a skid on the sand and we nearly hit a girl walking by 😬 thankfully the cyclist (“Red India” as we call him) had the experience to counter steer quickly.

A minute later we’re on a road currently under construction, lotta heavy machines on the road, and we’re behind this huge tractor which is behind another tractor and they’re driving towards an excavator (wow that rhymes) and I heard Red India say “you better step aside or I’ll fold you” and I was wondering “how can a chick fold an eagle” “I mean how can a dog possibly devour a Lion 🦁” I told him “Man I don’t doubt your ability to fold things…..but not when I’m onboard please 🙏”

“Go back! Go Back!” it was the white man supervising the work calling out for us to reverse cos the road ahead of us was under construction and the heavy machines were blocking the way obviously or he would’ve just folded them…..not with me onboard actually 😄.
Red India replied the civil engineer “ we’re just gonna take the road on the right” and he gave an affirmative nod.
Once we were on the road Red India was like “you sure this man is an original white man?” I asked what he meant by that, he replied “why was I able to understand his English, he was almost using an African accent, he should’ve sounded weird” I couldn’t help but but into laughter.

He dropped us off at Ngwa road and we took a tricycle to morning market, the bridge is currently blocked so we couldn’t take a tricycle straight to emelogu, we had to cross the bridge and board another tricycle down to emelogu, then we took another one and in a little while we arrived at the house-a 4 storey building, big Bro called to know on which floor the man was lives in, turns out he lives on the second floor so we went up, had a little discussion and he suggested we go see the site for the proposed building plan.

We went downstairs, took a tricycle heading to emelogu, stopped by just about some 200ft to emelogu junction, went into the site to examine it.

It has an existing building, the proposed residential blocks was to be at the rear of the existing building, Big Bro examined if the land could contain what the client wants, we had no measuring tape with us so he had to pace it.

Soon we were out of the site, we took a tricycle straight to Opobo Junction, then took another one straight to park, walked our way to Milverton avenue to collect survey plans from a surveyor, but once we arrived at his office, it was locked, tried calling him on the phone but he wasn’t picking up, we gave it up and walked down to park, got into a tricycle heading to Ngwa road by East, but as soon as the tricycle was about to set off he called and said he was already in Milverton.

We came down from the tricycle, fortunately for us the driver didn’t demand anything for the offload, we went back but the Dude ain’t there yet, it was afternoon already.

Afternoon

Big Bro looked at me and said “I’m so hungry right now” he spotted a girl frying plantains, yam and potatoes, we went over to buy some, stood for a little while for the surveyor (IK Okali) and soon he pulled up in his Sienna, got out and went upstairs with us following behind, he went inside the office, but I discovered something strange when I looked down from the balcony; his car was gone! 😳 I was sure he packed it right in front of the building, where did it go?? I asked Big Bro who was about to enter into the office “where’s IK’s car, it’s not downstairs” his reply gave me a big relief, he said IK wasn’t driving, it was actually his little brother who was on the steering, damn I obviously wasn’t paying attention to clues.

IK pulled out the survey plans from the drawer and handed it over, he had a little chat with big Bro and we got going, once we were on a tricycle heading to Ngwa road by East, Big Bro called Red India to inform to pick us up at Dike, it took some minutes before he arrived and we were off.
Home and hungry we proceeded to devour the fried yams and plantains we bought with Dad and my youngest sibling, Man that wasn’t enough. I still had to buy 400₦ bread, 2 bottles of supa komando for myself, one for dad and one for my youngest sibling then one bottle of Fearless™ for Big Bro.

After drinking them my head was spinning, no actually it has been spinning since I got sick and still spins upon the fact that I’m almost recovered from the illness, and I feel this urge to eat everything I set my eyes on…. weird. We kept drafting building plans till evening.

Evening

“Hey don’t you think it’s time we rest and wash some clothes” said big Bro, and I replied affirmatively, went off to buy laundry soap, and we embarked on washington clothes once I was back with a soup bigger than the palm of my hand 😂 just kidding, it was a Viva soap. My cousin kept menacing me while I was washington, so I had to give her a lil bit trouble to balance the equation by almond drowning her in the water she was washing with….nah don’t mind me who does that 😄 I only gave her a little nudge and she almost fell into the water.

Once we were through with washington clothes we embarked on…. playing mobile games 🤷 I had to get more score to win the tournament and those guys weren’t giving up, and big Bro too had an appointment with someone for a co-op mission against Ai so……. It’s just a 1 hour play.

We still resumed with the building plans until dinner was served by mom, everyone ate, I kept working until the computer was watching over me sleep on the keyboard, waked me up with the sound of an error message notification….I was pressing a lot of keys obviously, I found big Bro dozing off too, the only difference was that he leaned back on the chair rather than resting on the keyboard so his PC was sleeping too so I woke him up, we turned off the generator and sleeping ensued.

It's really a good thing your bike man did not fold them oo to avoid stories that touches the heart. Your day was well spent although it was from one work to another one but all the same, it went well.......

If he had tried folding things, I wouldn't be here to tell the story 😄
