The Big Question
It seem like hours ago we were all wishing each other happy new year and wam bam January has ended. Like joke like joke boys done dey old oh. But there is one question that keep bugging my mind. Its supposed to be a personal problem oh and I wonder why am sharing it here. But Hey! maybe that’s why I started blogging in the first place. Its and age old question since time immemorial. To Marry or not to marry?
I am just beginning to realize that I am getting old oh even though am just 26 yrs. Its beginning to dawn on me that I need to get married, need to tie that nuptial knot. But keep wondering if am ready....am i up to the task? Am I ready for it? For cry out loud most of the time is the boy in me that gets the better part of me. I am i sure i am ready for this responsibility? To be answerable to somebody (cos right now i aint) To start having kids, changing napkins, start paying school fees, going to PTA meetings and all the lots? Am I ready? That’s a question that only I can answer.
Another daunting task is location. We still having issues with where we will stay. She is a US citizen and doesn’t want to come back and settle down here. Where as I am a naija boy to the core and i aint gonna be no second class citizen in some oyinbo mans country. call me proud or old fashioned na you sabi. Yes i could go and do my masters there (planning to do that pretty soon anyway) , I could go for holidays (which I have never done by the way). But to go and stay there Naaaaah! I still like Nigeria the way it is. Even with the no lights, Lagos traffic (which is getting worse by the days especially with this construction works in Ozumba Mbadiwe), gross indiscipline....I still love my country. I pledge to Nigeria my country, to be faithful loyal and honest. I am faithful to you Oh great Nigeria. I love the little or no tax we pay. I love the joy I get from hear kids scream each time PHCN brings back the power. I love Nigeria. Most of my people seem to think am insane for not wanting to go. My very bobo say him don dey find this opportunity to get easy visa. But Na him sabi Joo. He has his life I have mine. Different strokes for different folks i guess.
