God for bid, after my prayer gave thank to god , and asked God to protect Nigeria from terrorist, and help everyboday who seek his[God] help. Ameen.I took my three bucket two to carry water and one will contain omo to wash oga maraba's car, did you know one of our tenant's wife have delivered a baby girl yesterday, so earlier than before the man drove aut and saw me raikedede? and he stop and sauid i, must go early first to the hospital before my office, and i said to him thank sir, say hi to your madam. 2 minuets later Barrister drove aut too they all left behind Baba Timi and the hard Alhaji.

Today another year has come so we must celebrate our independent day, either in our home, working place etc etc, Everybody join Nigeria celebrate her 51 independent anniversry, it is recent we Igala came to realised that independent is for the whole Nigeria we use to say Igala independent[ meaning ] igala nola,n. simply Igala day, during the civil war in Nigeria Igala was on the boarder, and fought to defend Nigeria it was this time the Native authorit was rased, and splited into three local government area namely, Idah  Dekina and Ankpa, divisions, it would have meant to say after the war the three divisions would have to became a state as the nation started practicing state policy, yet we  were marged with, Benue, before the present kogi state. The state of Igala if not Lokoja , it must be igala land, we have the potential phiscally land mass economy and capability.

Abdulahi now Warrant officer, was looking for some one to stay in his newly built house in Fedral house estate nyanya, so my friend usman isa introduced me to the man and i was agreed to stay in the house in case thiefs would vandalise the material in the house, there i started to write first to vso of my new address and friends like Graham and robin at Ecclesal road , south sheffield s11 9pg, Uk and travessa Tritao vaz teixerira-179 garjau 9125-077 canico Madeira and informed them that i have be relocated to Abuja, gradually developement started entering into the federal housing estate , and some person whom i later known and call Alhaji Isah Hassan he is a member of the national assembly before the 2003 general election came to commencing work on his plot where iam now living.Isah has made me his care taker, when he wanted to propose to me about caretaking of his property and engineer Awal was coming he told him to wait until he finish talking with me .

IN A WILDERNESS

My situation as at now need urgent atention, since the occupant the tenant have held meeting and discussed what should be my role as a gateman. One of the tenant a barrister wanted to know who employed me and i replied by named the landlord as one who employed me. you see we are paying you money but you did not seriouse with your work probably the landlord might have made you to believe that the security boot you are sitting is your permnent place we can shase you and put another person, but i do not want to call to inform my landlord about their plan,. the barrister went on you are going to sweep the compound in adition you should open gate and close it as well.for 24hours you are going to stay on duty and your salary is 4000,Alhaji Goni come in even you are not to go mosq, becouse we that work under minister, do not leave office for praying, And i thank them for their comments and opinions, i tougth they are joking , there is no organisation that pay a four thounsand as salary[4000] as a citizen no one can confined me for the sake of a job none sence.Sin then all my next plan of actions remained in my mind, what shall i do farming has be my business and it required money to start so i believe this men are intimidating as iam one the land lord personelll. And i give thank to God as well, for given me the knowledge and skill , so the money i will earn from my activities such as car wash and maitenance if rquired was ten times the 4000, and with that i can manage my life.

In august 2 2011 i was in Ubgedomagu to condoled my uncle over the death of his senior sister. Madam Otini, who also is my aunty. Ugbedomagu as i reached the village thing does'nt seemed defferent, only to noticed that the town is treated by erosion, or else sawmiler haven Morto saw operators around the forest the normal noise of engine as i used to when i was practicing my bas.[Basic agricultural service] that has be the name of my project up till now.
