And finally, Fred's visa was approved

He couldn't contain his excitement as he leaped for joy, and almost had his fingers cut by the ceiling fan.

His mom heard him scream, as she rushed to his room with the speed of a bullet.

"Oga, wetin happen na, wey we no go hear word for this house? She blurted angrily..

"Mommy ooh, them don approve my Canadian visa oo!.. He exclaimed!..

Next thing his mom knelt down on the floor, with teary eyes and hands raised to the heavens.

She couldn't help but sob, because he'd be the first to travel outside the country in the entire family.

The D-Day came, and Fred was all set...

His mom, dad, and his 7 seven siblings all accompanied him to the airport like they were holding a crusade.

They bade him goodbye as they watched the plane vanish into the skies..

A pretty hostess tapped Fred on his shoulder.

"What would mind taking on the menu? She asked with a deep smile.

"I'll take some snacks, and a soft drink...
He replied, as his excitement wouldn't let him make a better meal decision...

The order was brought, he took a few bites, but felt pressed.

So, he quickly laid the meal on his seat, and strolled down to the toilet to urinate.

He woke up to a thunderous slap that landed on his chin.

He's been peeing on his elder brother's body all the while.

It was all a dream.

Poor Fred!

He was still in father's one room apartment in Ajegunle.
