Going down memory lane,,,, being part of the JSS 3 students, we wer all seated as it wz time for English Lecture. Then, my English Teacher, Mrs. Stella, walked in,,, we all stood up to greet her in the usual way Good morning ma, we r happy 2 see u, God bless u, amen we all chorused... Good morning students she replied wif her usual phonetics... Our topic 4 2dae is Figures of speech, we started ystrdae as u all knw and it continues 2dae, and 2dae we wud b tawkin abt IRONY as being a Figure of Speech,,, she continued You pointing towards my direction give me a concise definition of Irony,,, I looked back wonderin, Cud it be me? i asked myself silently. You, tell me wat Irony is she persistedly said,,, wif so much shock, i stood up why me? i said silently 2 myself,,, bt then i summoned courage and wif the usual phonetics i answered Irony means saying the opposite of wat u actually mean. Give her a round of applause she said,,,, wif so much relief i sat down tank God, at least the embarassment wz avoided i said 2 myself..... Mrs Stella continued who can give me an example of Irony, wif so many hands raised, she pointed @ my reading partner, who stood up aftawards n answered Life is a bed of roses..... Being a novice, i wondered what dat meant.,,,, What do u mean by dat? Mrs. Stella asked further... He answerd life is a bed of roses means Life is easy, bt d msg am tryin 2 pass across is LIFE IS HARD.... Wif a weird look and so much shock, i asked myself Is life reali hard? and den i had a deep analysis,,, wat makes life hard?,,,,,,,, ppl living in so much lack, struggling so much 2 eat jus 1 malnutritous meal per day,,, others who have accepted fasting as a way of life,,, people living under d bridge,findin it difficult 2 pay rental bills, no shelter over dheir head,,, aving health issues wif no medical cure, no job opportunities, a PHd holder being a driver, no clothes 2 wear, orphans everywher, war n calamities all around, struggle and strife, ppl being punishd over wat dey knw notin abt, armed robbers makin life miserable for the rich (even the poor, cn u imagine?). Losing breadwinners of homes, rappists makin life miserable for teenagers (even children), suicide being the onli option,,,,, and many more dat cant b tot of!!! Afta all dis, i heaved a sigh,,,,, LIFE IS INDEED HARD,,,,,,,,,,,,, Bt here i am, 6 yrs after, aving some kinda opposition in me, is Life reali hard??? What exactly is Life???. And dhen i heard a voice say to me JESUS is life..... Den, i smiled INDEED.... I got Jesus, i got Life 2 d fullest,,, dis Life goes beyond the Physical,,, it is ETERNAL... In Him, i live, move and av my being, In Him, igot riches, i got sound health, i got peace of mind, i got Joy, i got no worries, i got sustenance, i got security, i got shelter,,,, In Him, I got ALL... JESUS is my SUFFICIENCY,,,, Now dis is my conclusion, LIFE (in JESUS) is NOT HARD...... If u got Jesus flaunt it, make it known 2 d world,,,, and if u avin got Jesus, get Him NOW, He is still very much available.... I got JESUS, I got EVERYTHING,,,,, I got JESUS, I got LIFE!!! ............ BIG cares!
