#OGA – Don't Blink on Karishika Part 2

“What time will you leave for work?” Kola asks his girlfriend over the phone. She has been ranting and talking endlessly but the young chap doesn’t mind, he’s even excited with the lengthy conversation he is having. He needs it to keep awake while David drives him home.

“Babe, hold on for a second” Kola pats David on his shoulders. “Drive slower bro so you don’t hit someone or something. Remember the headlights don’t work.” Kola cautions David and returns to his phone call. “I’m back. What were you saying?”

David has got the steering gripped tightly in his hands and his foot against the accelerator. Ade would have driven them home since this was his car but he had too much to drink and didn’t trust himself to drive home carefully in the middle of the night with busted headlights.

At least, let people be able to notice us. David thought as he turned on the caution lights. He’s engaged in a verbal debate with Ade about traveling overseas to obtain a Master’s degree.

“Do our universities and tertiary institutions promote themselves abroad and encourage foreign students to come to here and school, similar to how all these foreign universities encourage our student here to fly over there and study?”

Ade bursts into laughter “Abeg guy, don’t kill me. How that one want take happen?”

“But it’s a good suggestion; our institutions will be compelled to maintain a high level of education integrity and improve security.” David offers as he refocuses on the road ahead of him.

“Yes but still, would you like to come here and school if you were a British citizen? I don’t think so.” Ade thought about the question a second time and he couldn’t help but laugh a second time. With squinted eyes, opened mouth, and a rumble in his stomach he was just about to say something.

All of a sudden, they were gazing at an object so terrifying it paralyzed their bodies and reasoning. Time paused. Numbness spread through every body and every ounce of high or intoxication left in them dissolved instantly.

Ade was staring at a black mini-bus that had appeared out of the blues. He was watching it fly out of a corner just in front of him. The screech of brakes failing could be heard followed by a loud thump sound as the black bus hit the ground. The bus driver must have lost control of the brakes because in less than 3 seconds both vehicles would collide.

Shiiiiiiit! Ade thought. His world stopped. It seemed as though time paused because he was witnessing everything play out in slow motion, a second seemed like a minute. It was the longest seconds of his life. Pedestrians and street hawkers halted everything they were doing just to catch a glimpse of this scene.  

Ade thought of his family, friends and he imagined a dozen ways this accident would play out.  He turned his gaze towards his friends, wishing he could do something to save them. Fear isn’t just the mind killer. It can actually kill the body as well. The notion of being scared to death had once sounded like a myth to him but right now he felt a helpless sensation he had not felt in years. Total despair. Powerless and defenseless. Like the cliché of one’s life passing before one’s eyes before death. In the final seconds before collision, he did not imagine rescue. He was not hallucinating the warm and comforting vision of hope.

David had made a snap decision. Snap judgments are first of all, enormously quick; they rely on the tiniest slice of experience. But they are also unconscious. David had hit the brakes and was now swerving the steering wheel to the left.

“Hello, hello… Kola, are you there?” Even Kola had dropped his phone and his jaw as he looked in awe at the horror movie playing out in front of him.

The sudden and abrupt change in direction of the steering wheel caused the car to veer off an impending collision course. Time resumed at normal speed and bodies became unfrozen.

Because of a snap decision and an instant action applied within a fraction of a second, these men could laugh, curse and give thanks again. Life never looked so precious.

“The blood of Jesus. Thank God.” David gasped

“The devil is a liar. See trouble o! Bad belles.” Ade exclaimed

“What just happened?” Kola asked, he had even forgotten his girl was still on the phone.

Everybody had something different to say. But one common thing they shared was appreciation. Everybody was grateful for life and for each other.

Love Yours

Love yours. There’s no such thing as a life that’s better than yours. I am lucky. No I am blessed. Last month I miraculously dodged what would have been a fatal car accident. This shit was real, a black mini-van that had faulty brakes jumped out from nowhere, in the middle of a busy road, in the night…. My car was in motion and directly in front of it. Gracefully, my friend driving swerved left in the last mini-second. Although the road was busy but luckily no one was near my car to get knocked down when we swerved. During the 5 seconds that this horror movie played out in front of me, I was terrified as fxxk.

Moments like this compel you to sit back, take a look at life and LOVE YOURS. Your heart beating fast lets you know that you’re alive. Life might not be easy but that doesn’t change the fact that life is a gift, and the best gift compared to everything else. It’s up to you to make the most out of your life. YOLO! The hustle is real and you are on the road to riches; life keeps you on that road. Use your life to touch the life of people you encounter on your journey. You might get knocked down a couple times and a couple more; but still… #YOLO.

Don’t look at people succeeding and envy their success. Appreciate yourself. Put in work on yourself; this industry is all about hard work and consistency. Turn your pain into profit and ask for strength from up above. In reality you might have less but compared to billions of people, you are blessed. Don’t be sleeping on your level, because there is beauty in the struggle. Appreciate what you have and the people you know. #HUSTLE #LOYALTY #RESPECT. Be your biggest fan because you aren’t going to be happy until you love yourself.

Here is a deep story I learnt from Wikipedia this afternoon

In Greek mythology, Narcissus was a Hunter from Thespiae in Boeotia who was known for his beauty. He was the son of the river god Cephissus and nymph Liriope. He was proud, in that he disdained those who loved him. Nemesis noticed this behavior and attracted Narcissus to a pool, where he saw his own reflection in the water and fell in love with it, not realizing it was merely an image. Unable to leave the beauty of his reflection, Narcissus drowned. Narcissus is the origin of the term narcissism, a fixation with oneself and one's physical appearance.

#OGA – Don't Blink on Karishika Part 1

“The money and the fame now coming quicker... lord save me from Karishika …”

Karishika by Falz and Phyno. A well-liked song that appealed to the public was erupting from a pair of modern speakers in the VIP lounge of a four star hotel on a Sunday night.

Ade; a young man in his early twenties, dark in complexion with a chiseled face, slim, six-foot tall and a thick voice that made him sound older than he looked. He’s in the middle of a drinking session with two of his friends and Tiffany a girl he met tonight. The four have been drinking Vodka and Hennessy for over two hours.

David and Kola tagged along with Ade. These three were here to celebrate the conclusion of their first legit business deal. The commission was substantial and they had deducted a significant portion for balling and fun.

Ade muttered several curses under his breath. "Can we just finish this?"

"Oh yes," Tiffany purred as she moved closer to him again. "I'm going to finish my drink, all right."

He looked at her cautiously, nervousness in his eyes. Smart man.

She climbed onto the table gently pushing the drinks, cups and bucket out of her way and straddled his thighs.

It was going to kill her to take this nice and slow, but she was determined to have him begging before the night was up.

"What the hell are you doing, Tiffany?" Ade addresses the sexy lady in front of him.

Her palms met his abdomen and glided upward over his chest as she leaned over him.

She stared straight at him unflinchingly.

"You have two choices. You can shut up and not say a damn word until I'm done or we can move this thing of ours to somewhere private. In either case, I'm going to have my way."

He cocked one eyebrow as he stared up at her. "Bossy damn woman today. What's got into you?"

"Well, certainly not you," she grumbled.

He started to say something else, but she put her hand over his mouth and dragged him up. They get up and disappear within seconds making their way to the restroom where she shuts the door behind her one night stand…..

David and Kola are debating on what their friend is up to. “Its 12:44am already, these two love birds have been in there for quite some time.” David exclaimed pointing at his Rolex.

“What do you expect? A night like this has got to be perfect.”

“Wait; hold on, here she comes.”

Tiffany casually walks toward the table “Excuse me guys. I’m about to leave but I have to admit hanging out with you guys was a hell of fun” She gulps the Vodka left in her cup.

“It’s a pleasure. Do you live around here?” Kola asked

“No, I stay on the island. Lekki phase 1; to be precise. Let me give you my number. You can give me a call whenever you guys are less busy and having fun.” She gently strokes David’s shoulders and takes his phone from his hands.

“Alright, we’ll catch you later. By the way, where’s Ade?”

“Oh! He’s in the rest room. He’ll soon be out. Have a good night and tell Ade to call me.” Tiffany hugs each of the guys before exiting the building.

Meanwhile Ade does a double check on the rest room doors, then he un-wraps a piece of neatly folded brown paper to reveal a thin layer of an amber substance that looks like peanut brittle without the peanuts. This is butane hash oil (BHO), a highly concentrated version of marijuana. Using a thin titanium pick, he scrapes off a tiny piece of the tacky stuff and reaches for a dabbing rig. It looks like a small glass bong with an oversize titanium nail in place of a nail.

Ade flicks on the electric nail, a heating element that gets hot within seconds. Using the pick, he drops the dab of BHO onto the nail, where it instantly vaporizes. He sucks the resulting smoke through the pipe. The strongest pot smoked by habitual junkies might have a concentration of 15 or 20 percent tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the psychoactive ingredient found in marijuana. But that dab just gave Ade a hit of 70 to 80 percent THC.

It starts with an increase in the pulsation of his heart, followed by a spike in his blood pressure. Ade’ legs start to tickle, his sweat glands begin to secret a salty fluid which protrudes from his face and slithers down his neck. For about six second his vision gets blurry and he becomes unaware of his environment. 20 seconds after THC was already binding to the receptors in his cerebellum and basal ganglia, parts of the brain that regulates balance, posture, coordination and reaction time. The world began to spin. But this wasn’t a night to get faded and wasted, besides he still had stuff he needed to do before tomorrow. He smokes his pot, rinses his faces, washes his hands and gets out of the restroom.

#OGA Pilot

Hi,

I’m exploring my creativity and attempting to improve my vocabulary. I have decided to write short stories of my adventures that have a moral lesson to be learnt. This short story series is titled “OG’s Adventures” in short #OGA. The stories will be based on real life experiences but I will add a little bit of sugar and a tiny pinch of pepper to spice the story up so you don’t know which part is fiction and which is non-fiction. I will be playing the protagonist under the pseudonym “Ade”. Feel free to post comments and ask questions regarding any topic that seems debatable.
