Small, small I come dey hear my wife Bose voice, plus including my two pikin - Bisi and Funke. Dem dey fire prayer. Una kukuma sabi say

I hear plenty people voice as dem dey shout Amin, as Bose dey fire prayer dey go.

I come dey open my eye small small. I see say I still lie down for hospital bed.

Na dat time Bose come shout, “P-r-a-i-s-e the Lord!!!” Everybody answer, “Halleluya!!!”

As I open my eye, I see doctor dey look me, dey write someting. Di nurse jus dey hold my hand, dey look my face ti-ti-ti.

Bose, Bisi and Funke come hug me. Dem jus dey tell me e pele, e pele daddy.

My union member dem come dey tell me: “Oga MAT, be strong.”

I come look round. I look left, right, everywia for di hospital ward.

Doctor tell me make I no worry, say im been tell dat bie bie man to comot, and make e no ever show face again for di hospital.

Di next day, na im our union chairman Jimoh, use im own taxi come carry me for hospital go drop me for my house for Abule Egba. I tank Jimoh well well.

My family happy to see me, no be small. I see say my guonguoro dey for our compound. Bose tell me say na our union member, Akpan been drive am come park am dat very day wey I faint for our garage wey dey near Ikeja under bridge.
