©️ Shedrach Baba
A week later, Pastor Segun arrived in Dotumu village.
“Good afternoon, Pastor Segun, what a pleasant surprise, Moses was visible happy in seeing Pastor Segun and of course, the Foodstuffs he brought.
“Good afternoon Moses, can you please help me take this to the house?”
“Sure”
Moses carried the yams while the others also joined him.
“I was sent to the village by the Church and Moses, you must be a man”, Pastor Segun sighed.
Moses had a bad premonition.
“Your mother died two days ago”, Pastor Segun dropped the bombshell.
“What did you just say?!”, Moses couldn’t believe his ears.
“You have to be a man, She died of cancer, Pastor Segun sighed.
“Cancer, how?, my mother!”,
The floodgates were now open as Moses bursted into tears but one thing was puzzling to him, he was just finding out his mother had cancer, She never for once told him.
Was She trying not to bother Moses?, he couldn’t ever find the answer to the question, since she is now dead.
“God is in control”, Joshua sobbed.
“Stop crying, you are behaving like a baby, crying because of what”, Kingsley tried to console him.
Ruth and Favour glared at him.
“His mother just died have some sympathy”, Favour said clearly not pleased by his statement.
She noticed the nonchalant attitude of Ugo and co.
“Was their heart made of stone?”, Favour thought.

In the room assigned to Ugo, Kingsley and Olubo they were having a discussion.
“Moses Mother died just like that, it is well o”, Olubo could feel his pain.
“I know it serves him right, I mean…
“Can you for once hear yourself talk?”, Olubo interrupted Kingsley.
“His mother died!, what do you mean serve him right?, this is going to far, we are supposed to be Christians for Christ sake!”, Olubo said his mind.
“Why are you blowing a fuse?, Kingsley is correct, it serves him right, Ever since he was made the President, he became Proud, now, his wings has been clipped, Ugo chipped in.
“I cannot believe you guys, I need to take a walk to clear my head, Olubo left the room.
“What is wrong with Olubo today?”
“Beats me, maybe he has grown a conscience,” Kingsley laughed.
Ugo joined in the laughter.
Olubo could feel Moses pain because his mother also died of cancer when he was young, even though his father spent all is life saving on her.
His father not only lost his wife, but also his wealth, he didn’t take the loss that well and he was also duped.
Olubo and his Father managed to pass that phase due to the grace of God, his father even recovered all that he had lost.
Olubo began to change when he entered the university, he craved for freedom, and university gave that for he was now away from his Father prying eyes.
But he grew worse when he began to hang out with Kingsley and Ugo, he was surprised to see christians who drink, christians who were not boring according to him but he didn’t know he was gradually sinking.

As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend, the type of friends you keep, reveals who you truly are.
Like a man of God once said, “If you have four foolish friends, you will soon be the fifth foo, if you are not already”. Remember, evil communications corrupt good manners.
