common guys, what's so special on killing chicken.

I think I killed my first chicken when I was 8/9 years, turkey 10 years. I was in a crew that slaughtered a cow when I was just 10 years - I held the tail during the slaughter. Goat had being a regular since I was 12 years, but I always worked with an elder.

This story mean something different to me ......

It’s a story of 3 years ago and it’s just gracing front page......

It’s a sign that ALL OUR DELAYED BREAKTHROUGH WILL START MANIFESTING......

It might be delayed but not deleted and not forgotten
At times we made requests to God and he might decide not to do it immediately, that doesn’t mean he has forgotten us, he’s definitely preparing a ground for our request to suit its purpose..... 2021 will be different

Read the below for anyone who cares

OLA NUGGETS.....

The year that Okonkwo took eight hundred seed yams from Nwakibie was the worst year in living memory. Nothing happened at its proper time; it was either too early or too late. It seemed as if the world had gone mad. The first rains were late and when they came, lasted only a brief moment ...

The drought continued for eight market weeks and the yams were killed. The year had gone mad. When the rains finally returned, they fell as it had never fallen before. Trees were uprooted and deep gorges appeared everywhere.

That year, the harvest was sad, like a funeral and many farmers wept as they dug up the miserable and rotting yams. One man tied his cloth to a tree branch and hanged himself.

Okonkwo remembered that tragic year with a cold shiver throughout the rest of his life. It always surprised him when he thought about it later that he did not sink under the load of despair. He knew he was a fiercce fighter, but that year had been enough to break the heart of a lion.

*"Since I survived that year," he always said, "I shall survive anything."*

Extract from Chapter 3, *Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe.*

*Indeed we shall look back and say, if we survived 2020, we shall survive anything. Trust in God and continue in the Word and in prayers.

Happy holidays...

Stay lifted and abundantly blessed and stay safe... COVID-19 is still everywhere �

There's no way in hell a grown up man will tell a 15years old to go kill a goat.

Not possible.

I spent the previous night on my Braveheart23 2go account , chatting up precious and promising to send her 100 go credits as Christmas gift..She was obviously excited and I was glad..I was beginning to like her and was just concluding plans to tell her to be my "Girl"..

We chatted till around 2am before my sagem battery died and there was no light to boost the phone as the power holders held their light to themselves like a man without fuel holds his gallon at a fuelling station selling at 145 naira.At least I was able to engage her in a lenghty conversation today...I slept off happily with the hope of continuing our gist and fulfilling my promise to her as soon as possible the next morning �..


Boo. Boo...- My Elder sister called out my name like a woman on her MP stung by a scorpion..

Boo boo..she shouted like three more times..

I am coming ....I mumbled.. There was still no light ...God shocked.

I got out of the room to see My father and mother in a seriously tensed ghen ghen kinda atmosphere..

Good morning ma..good morning daddy.- None of them answered me.

Mum was in the kitchens sieving rice and Dad was in the living room ,one of his hairy yam legs was placed on the stool.

...Yes..boo.How are you - My Dad replied.

I am fine Sir... I replied and prostrated again..

My mum did not bother to even reply or look at me . she continued her kitchen work.....as she sang Jesus na biggy man , u no dare call am small boy with so much vigour and passion..

" Lola, shey u will not come and find the palm oil for me now" ...She shouted at my sister who rushed in to help her find the palm oil which was just right in front of her ....directly..How she didn't see it amaze me..

I looked at my sister to find out the reason for the way mum was acting but she fled to the kitchen before I could communicate to her by matching her foot..

Boo..
Yes sir...
Merry Christmas ..

Thank you sir ...
..
Many more of this in Jesus name....

Amen sir..


"
You will see one chicken outside..White..with red crown like this ..beside the generator outside ...ehn ...Go and kill it....


..I couldn't fathom what I heard ....Probably I wasn't hearing right ......

Kitchen ...

...."I said Chicken...chicken ..And be fast with it...We are going to the Church by 11am for the service..

He said and immediately walked out of the living room as I looked on , my mouth wide open ...

I was just 15 ..!!!!!
Happened to me though I can't even kill a chicken � the last I tried that I had to boil hot water put the chicken inside it I swear I couldn't sleep that night for weeks I was thinking how I killed a chicken the guilt was all over me.

Truth be told, OP, I didn't really read what you posted (will do that very soon, though). But, my shock in this post is on that "2go" OP mentioned. So, people still use 2go these days like this nii?

My uncle that always portray this hard man swag n people actually are very scared of him because of his looks couldn’t kill a chicken last two days. His hands were shaking, I had to take the knife from him at the amusement of everyone. I guess he has lost that his hard man personality to some of his friends lol

The blackout at the end was unexpected

While the one that kicked the chicken into the air was even more hilarious

It's nothing to be ashamed of, not being able to kill a chicken in cold blood doesn't mean one is not a man.

Some people can't kill animals in nonsport and violent encounters.

Make una free the guy jor.

Your brother is a witness to how dogs are being killed, he probably thought that that was the way it was done. What got me rilling with laughter was "wait let me drink water".
