The Day My Phobia Almost Resulted Into Cold Blooded Murder.... by Eddygourdo(m): 8:39pm On May 08, 2017 |
I am a man of many phobias, fear of chickens and tolotolo, fear of heights, fear of tight spaces, fear of disordered pictures, so so many are they that my monicker should simply be EGWU. the phobia that almost resulted in my commuting murder is my fear of water. last two years, before the oil crash , God picked my call and I got an opportunity in the oil and gas industry (all the babes don't bother with the pm's cos I lost that job) so without notice I was expected to go by boat to Bonny to see one strong man like that. I decided to wait for the covered boat as I couldn't dare see myself in the uncovered one. the journey to Bonny was pretty straight forward while I tried my utmost to keep my bowels from rupturing it's contents out of fear. on sighting land, joy overwhelmed me and I hoped my return journey will be similarly smooth in 3days time. on the morning of my return journey there was just one boat. many boaters claimed they won't work today cos the sea would be rough since its been raining cats and dog all through. stupid me trying to save up on hotel bill jumped in with some LNG workers and some corpers. I selected a place hidden inside to sit in hope that the shark will likely eat up others before it can get to yours truly. the journey began and due to rough seas, another longer route was taken which made us delve farther into the ocean than we normally should. suddenly the rains trippled. the sea kept rising and falling. I thank God for the water that kept splashing inside as it hid the tears flowing down my cheeks. I was in this mod of sober reflection when on corpers suddenly got up and said he wants to stand at the middle of the boat cos rain was beating him. the boat driver ran mad in anger as boaters tend to sit people according to weight to prevent a capsize and the actions of the boy was clearly dis_ stabilizing the weight balance. all efforts to get this boy to sit down fell on deaf ears, the boat driver and his engine man confessed to us all that they have lost one engine and are managing just one and hoping we get to ph in time and we better warn that useless corper. this boy vehemently refused because the water from the rain was touching him, suddenly the last engine lost power, once I heard it, my anal sphincter lost pressure. I knew death by drowning has finally come my way, I queried why I am so stingy to a fault, I cursed the so called strong man who insisted I embarked on this terrible journey. till I observed a scuffle, water has started seeping into The obanise boat, the boat driver , his engine boy and the corpse were in a scuffle as they attempted to throw him over board. since water was rushing into the boat and many were already crying and panicking, coupled the fact that we were abit off route and other boats aren't coming to even aid any rescue effort, some passengers including me joined the driver and we threw the corper over board. we started the single engine and it gave power while we tried scooping out water with our bare hands, we moved abit while watching that young man bouncing in the water, crying, calling all his ancestors in different languages to come save him. due to the heavy rains and waves in less than two minutes he had gone far away from us heading into the ocean ( he was floating as we all have life vest on). we went back to him and asked him say hope now he won't be bothered by the trickles of rain anymore. he swore amidst tears and promised good behavior, the engine boy dived in and dragged him into the boat. he sat quietly in the rain till the end of the journey. I asked the driver what would have happened if the boat had capsized and he looked at me and laughed. he said " see my hands, see my engine boy's hands Na bicep full am, I will swim from here to ph or Bonny and in three days come and get my boat and whoever is left". I looked at my bicepless hands and knew that enough is enough. I have officially divorced water. goodnight 9 Likes 1 Share |

Himm. That boat driver was probably joking 'cause he couldn't have swam from Bonny to PH no matter his expertise in swimming. Fatigue could have made him drown. |

Yuneehk:so it's overcomeable? hmmmmm my dear I will take such job of course and buy towels to wipe my tears often. I can't stand the thought of dying in such a huge pool of water or being food to fishes. it gives me the creeps. so let me ask water no matter the size doesn't scare you? |

Eddygourdo: brotherly how many times have u heard that people died of boat accidents? the possibility of u dying in a water accident is way lower than land or air accidents reason is because it rarely occurs and if it does occur u can stay afloat for a while till rescue comes. so try to forget all ur fears and focus on the beauty of creation, sooner than later u would have outgrown all ur fears. |

You can write o, I laughed so damn hard. Mine is lizard, I have a terrible phobia for lizards or anything related to their family. That was how I ran out of the bathroom screaming crazily when I sighted one in the bathroom window. My dad had to drive it away before I could enter. Last month I saw one under my shoe, you don't wanna know how long I shouted. ![]() I prefer to see a snake than a lizard. Ewwww, their legs and head so irritating to me. Ewwww. |
