*Kosilala, may we go club na*
The call that sent me down an inquisitive lane.
A yearning to uncover the mysteries of the night.
A journey to withness firsthand, the most sought-after pleasures of a Friday night.
Like a school boy getting ready for his first trip to school, 
I excitedly put on my T shirt and a pair of palm slippers.
All the while envisioning what the night may bring.
A bumping dance with a hot model?
Beeni sir.
A taste of the world famous black Belaire bottle owned by Rick Ross,
Confirmed.
And perhaps a lucky shot at getting a number to follow up or take home.
While I ruminated on these thoughts,
The Holy spirit came.
Gently reminding me of my pledge to the cross.
Bringing to memory my tearful confession at the foot of the cross.
And bringing to bare the full scripture in Peter that admonished believers to watch and pray.
Like a ear impaired dog who did not hear the masters whistle, my mind sealed up.
For i chose to firmly affix my thoughts on Wizkid's *Daddy Yo* playing on my phone.
*Change that palms to any shoe o*
These words my bros said. All the while offering me his shoes to hasten my movement.
Within seconds, I was ready.
A slim guy donning a Red T-shirt and blue jeans.
A reprobate mind putting on black shoes.
To the club we drove.
A very busy hub whose numbers never seemed to die down.
A very lively hotspot, whose 'turn-up' never seemed to tune down.
At its entrance, three bouncers stopped our march.
Big burly human beasts whose appearance scared the living daylights out of me.
Round roughly hands that patted us down and ushered us into the place of action.
With beautiful ornaments, its stairways were designed.
Bearing semblance with the belief that the paths to Hades is beautifully adorned.
From the doors,
My cornea saw what could not be unseen.
My retinas beheld the wonders of poorly sewed outfits.
A parade of Sodomry and Gomorraic madness.
A contest challenging every lady to flaunt the most skin.
A pageantry celebrating the beauty of the female kind in its adamic state.
A show of lewdness that put the plethora of Kardashian craziness into the back seat.
At every corner, they sat.
Nodding while seeping Moet bottles
Making seductive gestures while drinking from their Belaire bottle.
Aye ooo.
My mind kept repeating.
Eyes darting from side to side in a bid of scooping every deranged iota of physical information.
For the heart that says rejects God's words, ushers in a thirst for debauchery.
A man came to us.
Ushering us with the best of smiles to an isolated rolling table.
As our gang bore semblance to a fresh set of ballers who had come to shut down the whole club.
The price list came and my eyes of understanding opened up a bit.
Bottle of Ciroc- 35k
Bottle of Moet- 50k.
A bankers salary to be finished at a sitting.
A child's school fees to drunk within thirty minutes.
Numbness engulfed me then.
All appetite vanished at that moment.
Who could blame me?
Apparently I had only 500 naira in my pockets at that point.
Apparently I would not get any ladies number because they all had a bottle of something at their tables.
Apparently all plans of enjoying this outing now looked bleak.
At that point, a siren sound came up.
*Yeekpa* I wanted to shout.
For I thought the angels were blowing the trumpets to announce the second coming of Jesus.
Another sound followed immediately.
An eerie gong sound that bore semblance to Undertakers entry sound in WWE wrestling matches.
*Eh ehh. Wen I say moni dey. I mean moni dey. Na ballers full ground here*
These words the club Mc and hype man shouted into the microphone.
All the while directing our attention to a group of girls lighting candles placed in a mini coffin.
Upon closer inspection, the candles turned out to be bottles.
A number of ten Moet bottles placed in two rows of five and carried to a table of four guys.
Upon reaching its destination, the corks were let loose.
A fantabulous spraying of its contents on wristwatches and gold chains worn by all four occupants.
Olorun mi ooo.
350k at a go.
A year salary of some state workers drank within ten minutes.
Apparently they were ballers.
A term of endearment for those people who seemed to have perfected the art of making other club goers feel sorry for their pathetic lives
Apparently they were the *money gang*
The crew who were perfect in showing others the misery of being rich and poor at the same time.
For a salaried earner of 100k was bound to think himself poor and wretched in the sight of the show of opulence.
While I was still mentally calculating the costs of the ten bottles, the sirens and eerie gong rang out again.
The ballers had spoken again.
Another ten bottles of Belaire to prove an established point.
Another 350k to emphasize and rub salt into our open wounds.
A loud reminder of our poverty and their obvious plenti plenty moni
The concluding part to come out soon
#BASHORUN

I can see.
Flood of tears streaming down your delicate face.
Your rosy life replaced by a topsy turvy one faught with failure.
Filled with disappointments that have deprived you of precious sleep.
Laden with bouts of miscarriages and recurring rounds of ailments.
I can hear;
The deep groans you utter in your anguish.
The whimper you wish to suppress every time the belt of your supposed better half touches you.
The deep breaths you take before going into the doctors office,
And the bitter cry when you are tagged unfruitful by your mother in law.
Nwa nnem.
Jide Chukwu Ike.
Move away from that bottle and make your way towards His temple.
With a little belief, approach His temple.
With a little strength, kneel at His feet.
With a genuine heart, thank Him for the times of plenty.
With a sincere heart, pour out your heart in prayers.
With a determined resolve, make a vow or seed offering to Him.
Naught more I can say.
Much more He can do.
For He is Jehovah overdo.
Surprising Sarah with a child in her old age.
Granting Esther favour in the sight of her peoples overlords
Using a little boy in David to bring victory to his nation.
Just believe auntie.
All will be well uncle.
He shall fight for you and you will hold your peace.

( CONFESSION OF A LOVE STRUCK EKO ISALE BOY ) 

(Inspired by McRhymes and his arabirin)
Booni baby.
Olorun ngbo, I fit die for you mata.
Like omo onile wey soldiers jam during transaction.
Your love just wan make me repent of my evil playboy activities.

Like naija politician wey win election finish,
I don plan to leave you immediately you open cookie jar for me.
Walahi.
Si tin gbo.
I no fit leave you again.
As you don add meaning to my life like ewa agoin wey jam early morning bread.

Baby gbagbe oshi.
I fit slap baba Alaye for garage if him just say you wowo one kain.
Onto say your real name na Okin.
King of all birds for beauty and worth.

Woli Arole talk say your ogo  (glory) na 20 terabyte.
Omo mi Pasuma wonder talk say you be the Ultimate wey pass Kwam 1.
Olori local rapper, Reminisce baba Hafusa, talk say everything about you is 2much.
Omo wa, wizzy lati ojuelegba, talk am say he fit die on top your mata sef.

Maami.
If na phonetic you wan hear, I sabi am well.

Your love causes an eruption of joy within me that galvanizes with a sincere desire to love you to the end of time.
Thus I seek and desire for you to me mine.
I inquire and require your hands in marital union to unite our hearts and kickstart a newness of life and purpose in our lives.
Ultimately giving birth to the most brilliant offsprings who will cement our legacy of true love.

Shey na omo ina (omo yibo) language u wan hear?

Baby gbagbe that language.
All I wan tell u be say I love you. 
#Bashorun


CONFESSION OF A LOVE STRUCK IGBO BOY

(Inspired by GoldenVic and Ochukenyin)
Sweetie m.
Like container wey just land for port,
Your face brings boundless joy to my heart.
Like newly prepared ofe akwu,
Your presence has sweetened my life.
For my life has always registered a recurring cycle of sourness.
Like the news of Ojukwus exile to Ivory Coast to the igbo nation,
The sight of you left me dazed in my tracks.
Your voice is just like the sound of bank alert nne.
Always gentle and reassuring my fearful heart that all is well.
Bia.
Odi ka Chukwu na cho gi o.
(It seems God is looking for you)
Because a sight of an angelic face like yours is very uncommon.
Odi ka gi ne ji honey sa cha ahu gi
(It seems you bath in honey)
Because you have positively added to my life without adding any sorrowful side effects.
Gi bu ihe m nacho
(You are the one I was searching for)
The Obiano, God sent to rearrange my messed up Onitsha looking life.
The Ikpeazu, God sent to clean up my Aba looking mess created by TA Orji looking devil.
The Okowa, God sent to beautify and revamp my dull Asaba looking life.
The shoprite that continually fascinates my localized Onitsha(ristic) mind
And the ubulu brown salt that seasons my soup and life perfectly when I am in turmoil.
Ka anyi je London,
Let me buy all the dresses from Harold to match your beauty.
Ka anyi je Italy Asa nwa,
Let me buy you all the Giuseppe Zanotti and to adorn your feet.
Ka anyi je Monaco,
Let me buy you all the Louis Vuitton and Gucci hand bags to grace your outfit.
Aha m bu Bashorun. And I love you nne
#BASHORUN
I was very excited to receive the invitation be a guest blogger on Bashorun’s blog and when he asked me what I wanted my column to be called, I told him «Today with ‘Pelumi» That tag was inspired by my writing attempts in Secondary School at FGGC Ipetumodu, Osun State where I used to paste my writings on the walls of classroom blocks and I titled them «Today with Pelumi». It has been several years now but I am so excited to to revive that tag and I am happy to have you as my reader.

In my column, look forward to articles,poems, quotes and short stories that will be centered on themes about God, life and love. So, why did I choose Today? Well because today is a gift, it is a chance to right yesterday’s wrongs and an opportunity to make tomorrow what you envisage. Truth is yesterday is gone never to return, and tomorrow is not here with us yet. All we have is Today. Hence, today is the only opportunity to work towards being all that God has laid upon your heart.

What you do with today will determine what becomes of tomorrow. Choose not to worry with it. Remember the Bible says in Luke 12:25 «And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest? (ESV)
Worrying adds nothing positive to your life. It only robs you of today’s strength, vitality and ability to dream and also reduces the likelihood of your successes tomorrow. Forget about the failures or missed goals of 2016 and use your 2017 to plan strategically for tomorrow. When you are tempted to worry, pray instead.

Maximise it! Choose not to waste it. The Bible says in Ephesian 5:16-17
«Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.» (NIV)
Leisure is not a programmed time on your daily time. You should only indulge yourself in your leisures like watching films or chatting with friends when you have accomplished your goals for the day. Even God, our heavenly Father did not rest till the 7th day when he had finished his work of creation. Rest and leisure is only sweet and rewarding after work. Don’t while today away. Use it well!
So I continue this jolly tale from where we left off at the Tuck shop incident

Like Flash in a bid to save the world,
I started my race down to the SS1 block
For I needed to tell my friend Osfeam of what I saw.

"You come here"
These words Mr Idowu shouted as he pointed to me.
Brandishing his dongoyaro *egba*(cane) in his left hand and adjusting his spectacles with his right.

I knew I was in trouble then.
For Mr Idowu never called any student over for a leisure talk without tears accompanying the student back.

Augustine, Biola Adekanmi, Owolabi Dammy were all kneeling down in front of the staff room.
Fellow classmates, who I knew were going to testify of the efficacy of the whip that day.

"Just answer Yes or No to my question. If I hear you say another word, Ti e ba e o" Mr Idowu said.

"Yes sir I replied.
My mind already concocting any lie that could be used in all situations since I did not have any clue to the question he intended to ask.

"Alright. Did you ever see Dammy here going to the town through the bush"
Mr Idowu asked.
Flexing his cane while he awaited my reply.

"Yayyyy".
My heart shouted.
God had remembered me today
Payback season had indeed arrived.

For Dammy never picked me anytime we wanted to play ball on the school field.
Poor lad never considered that maybe I was the next Ibiyemi Shola, who dazzles with dribbling skills or Kenny Bello, whose knack for finding the net was unrivaled. 

Worse still for Dammy.
He had made fun of me when I came into the dinnig to eat my Tuesday fufu and meat.
For I had forgotten that I had already eaten Moses's  Monday rice and beans and was expected to give up my meal in a trade.

"Yes sir. I saw him day before yesterday sir. He was even eating beske Iya Oche when I saw him"
These words I said as I secretly made the 'oobbbyyyee' gesture to Dammy
.
"Eh eh! Augustine nko?"
Mr Idowu inquired further while he momentarily greeted Mrs Osobu who was on her way to beat her erring SS1b English students.

Augustine too was not my padi at all.
For he had this manner of carefully making one feel terrible while one spoke.

Once, as I was speaking to him, he kept saying "Ton" "Ton" "Ton".
When I inquired the reason behind the beeping tone, he shouted GBOAAHHH" as people around erupted in laughter.
Later did I come to realize that he was intoning that my talk was boring on a magnitudnal scale.

Well.
My turn for "Ton" "Ton" "Ton" had come.
And the tone of my "GBOAAHHH" would come in form of a lashes to his backside and his resulting cries.

"Yes sir. Augustine too went into town too. He was even boasting that he played game 'inside inside' town while he hid from Mr Ojurongbe's car"

"Really! You don't mean it."
Mr Idowu said as a smile began to form on my face.

"Oya! You. Come and kneel down with them because I saw you in town on Saturday too" 
He said.
Twirling his cane menacingly with his sly smile replaced by with a visibly annoyed look.

Shocked gripped me at that moment.
Despair clung to my heart like a wailing child who clings to his mother who intends to go out without carrying him along.
I wore no boxers (inner shorts) on that day,
For rain had beaten the only one I had washed the previous day.

"Sirrrr... eeeeehhh. Ori mi ooo. I am not feeling fine sir and I am just coming from the sick bay"
 I said.
Desperately stringing all manner of lies that would save me from this 'never to be forgotten in a while' ass whooping that was staring me in the face.

"Okay. You are not feeling well abi?"

"Ye"

"I am not asking you a question because we will both go to the sick bay now and if Dr Yusuf tells me that you have not been there today, or I cannot see your card, egba e ma di double (Your cane will be doubled)" said Mr Idowu as he jumped down and started stomping towards the sick bay.

"No sir. It is not today I went sir. It was three days ago that I went sir. I still have the sachet of paracetamol in my locker sir"
 I shouted out in a bid to stop him.
For I remembered that I had visited the sick bay on the new date I mentioned.
A visit to enjoy the Vitamin C red tablet while I feigned the sickness of sore throat.

"You this boy. Oya go and kneel down there"
Mr Idowu shouted.
Punctuating every syllable with a whirling of  his long cane that landed on my back and developed welts immediately. 

Like a village headmaster whose favorite student impregnated a local girl,
Mr Idowu whipped me with no mercy.

Wai! Wai!
The sound of the cane making love to my ready back.

Yee! Yee! Moku ooo!
The sounds of my mouth registering the deep discomfort I was in. 

Like salt on a fresh wound,
Mr Ojurongbe and Mrs Ajani, my maths teacher came around.

You this kosi again. You that you were not around for Saturday inspection. Even look at how your uniform is dirty" 
Mr Ojurongbe said.
For he was the house master of Osun house (Yellow house).

"Eh eh. Iwo na ti di stabooo (You too have become an invincible man)"
Mr Idowu said.
Intensifying his beating like a mad bull who just sighted a red cloth.
For he truly detested students who ran away from working in their hostels.
A fact that ensured that his Niger (blue) house students, never left their hostels during cleaning.

"This lazy boy that always sleeps in my class. You will come and meet me in class later and you will explain how you can maneuver your way through the bushes into town without being able to maneuver your way into getting a 'C' in my subject. Olodo iya"
Mrs Ajani said while she took leave for our class.

"Ah ahh. You are still failing in mathematics too. Stabooo, oloorun  (a stinker) and olodo (perpetual failure). I will deliver you today"
These words Mr Idowu said as his vigor in whipping increased like a man injected with a full dosage of red bull.

Not to draw the talk beyond its borders,
I was well fed with the helpings of the beating which I received.

Like river Niger in the rainy season,
Tears overflowed from my eyes as I made my way towards the classroom. 

A sight so pitiful that my crush (name withheld) told me kpele (sorry) for the first time ever.

In discomfort, I battled through the maths period.
For the pains I felt on my buttocks made it nearly impossible to seat on my wooden locker seat.
The maths lessons did not go accordingly well also.
A tale I would share in later posts.
#BASHORUN
"For this gbege wey ai dey so, Jesus nor fall my hand abeg".

Na so oga dey pray o.
Leave family plus pikin come mountain come fire prayer.
