I've heard that countless times before and I've even said that to myself a thousand times. 

You know, i wasn't always this boring human.

One who's living a frustrating mechanical routine daily now.

Nahhhh, i was that guy you'd call the boy of your dreams.

Flattering right? Gotta hype myself a bit.

But to be very honest, i was this sweet, funny, jovial guy.

Not that i was carefree then, but i wasn't this me.

Stories upon stories, i normally just wrap it all with 'Life happened'.

And when you do say how're you?... my reply would always be "I'm alive'.

Shishi i no get, love kpa kpa, i no see, so is it not just to be alive? 

This morning, someone reminded me of an individual.

A family member though, don't try guessing who because my family wide die so you'll just strain your tiny brain.

I've never really thought about this individual for a very long time.

I even forgot about all that transpired between us, not that i forgot forgot, but i just kinda kept it aside because there are other important things wey man need to worry about, abi nau?

Maybe to justify what changed me or to mention how the incident affected me or to just rant, wahlai, i no know.

This person's my uncle whom i stayed with for a period of time, let's say a month nau abi, can't even remember.

I don dey old, but I'm not sure it was up to two months.

The plan was actually to stay with him for a longer period, maybe permanently sef.

But after a while, i wasn't comfortable with the whole environment.

Not that he was suffering or oppressing me ooo, nothing of such, in fact na me dey cook sef.

Trust me, Chef of Africa, na im house i even take first cook Banga and egusi soup.

My family no dey use food play, no matter their bad character.

But, i wanted more, not food, not a girl, not friends, not bad gangs, nahhhh.

I had just skipped a semester, and wanted to resume with the next one so as not to waste all the efforts i made during my 100lvl.

I'm not the dependent type, so i wanted to earn my money for what was important at the time.

I had a menial job that gave me daily pay before moving with my uncle.

I spoke with him about it and that I'd be leaving his house back to where i came from because of the job and my schooling at stake.

I was surprised though, why not see things with my perspective or reason with me?

Hmmmmm.....stubborn me decided to stay on my ground with my decision.

Next day, i packed all my things and told him i was gonna go. (politely ooo, i no get body to gbozigi)

You know nau, my mind na say e be wan give me advice as elders go normally do nau.

But i received the greatest shock of my life. 

My bros brought my travelling bag, zipped it open, and poured everything down.

Started searching through every stuff thoroughly to see if i'd stolen anything.

He saw nothing and i thought it had ended there till he asked me to come to the kitchen.

Normally, as Chef, I'd cooked in three abi four different pots.

He told me to taste every single food in his presence.

Chaiiii, embarrassment wey pass embarrassment.

Oga mi, shey na poisoning you don dey suspect me of? 

I tasted everything and he saw it with his two okpolo eyes and said 'no wahala, you can go now'.

Guyyyyyyy, the scene's just replaying in my head right now.

Not that I haven't faced accusations before ooo.

My aunt once accused me of trying to steal love and affection.

Quoting her, "the one wey i born, i never fit love and care for them finish, na come another person own".

My uncle's wife, that one sef, na God go judge her case.

Use food dey do me yeye and accused me of stealing her recharge cards, her memory card, and tea. Yes my dear,you read it right,tea of all things. 

My papa don say e regret why e born me, don call me useless, don announce give people say i be fraudster and defamed my reputation, and also accused me of stealing 70k from his shop.

All these ones pain me ooo, but poisoning?

This was someone who according to multiple sources, got me clothes 24/7 when i was around 3-6 years.

No mind my boring story ooo, i don't even know why I'm relating all this.

But one thing is certain, beware of humans.

Oh yea, i changed because of life's experiences.

I had to become this boring me with no one but my device because humans are frightening.

You must not be lonely like me, i already adopted loneliness as my brother, but always remember that humans aren't to be trusted.
