I shall just rant about how much of a bad person I feel I am...
So yesterday was a great day... I went to work, had a really busy day. Had to go see some clients, had so much to do... Had no time for food or anything.
After work, a friend came to get me from work to get food. After the usual food, gisting... Etc.... We headed back to my house (my cousin's house actually, cos I am babysitting my second cousins... Their mum/my first cousin went to the village for my grandma's burial).
Thats how we were in the car ooh. In one mad Lagos looking traffic, next thing we saw this black thing falling from heaven... Gheun! What can that be? Could it be a bat? A bird? Batman? Or what?
It was a bird; I think it's wing got broken, so It couldn't fly.... As the bird was trying to manoeuvre it's way, crawl to the side walk, a car came by and squashed its tail....
Guys... I watched that happen, and there was almost nothing I could do. I wanted to save it, I wanted to carry it from harm's way, but, but, but.... I dont know.... I just could not. I did not know whether to come down from the car... But what would I have done? Pick the bird, then do what?
I let the birdie get squashed by cars.... I could have saved it....
But then again, as my friend pointed out to me "why is a bird flying at night?" "This is Naija oooo. It could have bn a witch".
Yet I still have serious guilty conscience.
