#ThatAkwardMoment#

AKWARD MOMENTS...talk about them..

When you talk about someone and the person walks by..(I Know..it means the person is not a bastard abi?? Na lie..); That minute when momsi calls you downstairs to pick her bag that is lying a few meters from her (now that's almost worse than akward, that is sometimes annoying) or that time when your class rep is just announcing that the class would not hold and the lecturer walks straight into the class with a pile of books and a file of papers ready to dictate 4 and a half pages of note to you in just one hour ( uhhhh....yeah right..I've had a few of those). Talk about Akward moments, some are annoying (like the ones I mentioned above). Some could be funny...really funny. Check Twitter and you'll know. The times when you and your siblings are conspiring against your popsi and he passes and says "I heard you you o"; or the time when you are scoping fine boy or fine girl and you close the car door against your fingers. Or maybe you are in Shoprite and you see someone; let's say "Genevieve" and in your excited state, you leave your shopping to say hi and maybe get an autograph...only for you to tap her and the person who turns to look at you is certainly not Genevieve...and worse of all is someone with maybe a Calabar accent....hewww...I can only imagine how the smile on your face would turn to a frown...Talk about Akward moments

But some are painful...really painful..like one that happened a few days ago. That Akward moment where a plane crash occurs, the sympathizers lose their lives; yet the casket is intact!!! I can't explain it!! I am still shocked. What happened?? The casket didnt even turn over or get burnt but people were burnt and some bled to death. Amazing!! Akward!! Painful!! Truly, only God has knows all things and can explain. And no matter how comic or annoying any akward moment is; we truly have no explanations. Think of all the scenarios I painted above or any akward moment that happened to you; can you really tell the story from A to Z? Isn't there a part of it that seems blur?? Sure there is...both for the case where you mistakenly saw thought someone was Genevieve and when Agagu's casket was unscathed yet his kinsmen lost their lives. Call it what you like..Too much excitement/ no proper observance for the first case; or a treaty with Satan to die with as many people as possible in the second case...Truth is, you cannot give an explanation

What does Dadiva have to say?? We don't plan Akward moments, they just happen...and we just have one option...Accept it; and trust that God made the best decision by making that happen. It could be crazy, it could be funny, it could be tragic...but we accept what happens...and move on.

My condolence goes to the families of those who lost their loved ones..may their souls rest in perfect peace. And like they do for all other akward moments...I hope take it as it comes, and move past it and trust God for the rest of their lives...We should let God be God and let him have his way in everything; no matter how akward his way may seem. We believe that we will rise above each akward moment and become better, stronger, more knowledgeable, learning a lesson, holding on to him more or maybe just learning to accept who He is- God...who reigns over the affairs of men. Without sounding to hard, I say with humility and sadness; "Let the dead go bury their dead, and let the Living learn to live on"...Above all, I say (and I say this to everyone about every and any akward moment); Remember you are human, and cannot control everything. So when things you did not forsee or cannot control happen to you, remember to just smile, look on God and know that He did the best thing He could/wanted for you at that particular time.

Trust me when I say, #ThatAkwardMoment# was the best thing that could happen to you at that point in time!!

I HAVE SAID MY OWN.....Ciao
