The Diary Game: A Sunday With Difference/ Sponsoring The Kids Offerings To Church 18/1/2026

Sunday started with early morning mass, as a Catholic, I went to mass in the morning and on coming back home, I met these lovely kids who were playing in front of our compound, I asked they weren't/didn't go to church, they told me they didn't have offering, I shared the little money I had and told them to go bath and go to church, they left and I went inside.

It was really satisfying that I was able to make some young people go to church even in the most littlest way. My mum and siblings were going for second mass and then I ate before they left because they already dropped my food on the center table for me.

As I finished to eat, I went outside to stay due to how hot the weather is. Nigeria is experiencing one of the most hottest season right now and I don't know when it will stop, I am still praying and hoping for rainy season to come so that I will be able to sleep inside comfortably.

I asked my worker to call me so that we can have a talk on how business has been going, I had made a shipment to the shop earlier this week and I was yet to receive a report on that. So, when I saw her notification popped up, I asked her what was the issue, we talked and she showed all the transactions she had made to the company's account, it tallied up with the things she had sold. I asked her to take some money and buy shawarma for herself. She appreciated it and the call ended.

When the call ended, I went to the backyard to keep myself busy with some things. The first thing I saw was a bunch of palm fruit. I used machete and took the fruit from the bunch and then kept it so it will come out of their own from the hooks.

When my mother and my sisters came back from church, I told them I will go out to go and see a friend. The house is so boring, my sisters would rather stay in their rooms than come keep me company. I left to my friend's place to have a cup of palm wine, I know he will always have a keg of it.

When I came back home, my mother prepared concoction rice with chicken. She gave it to me and I ate it for dinner. Over there in the city, I used to drink bottled water, but since I came back to the village, I have been drinking water from the stream, I don't know if it's good for my health or not but as long as I am not getting sick, it's fine by me.

When I finished eating, I took the plates to the backyard where my sister was washing plates, I asked her to help me and she agreed. I came outside again go stay, it's dark here, no street light, so immediately it's 6pm, everyone is back to the shell. I stayed outside and wrote diary where there is network before thinking of going to bed.
