Bad way to unalive yourself

124/300. Hunger will not kill you but…

Have you ever being broke and entertwined with sapa that you know your next meal is probably three cups of water and an eyes full of sleep?

Have you being so hungry that your stomach doesn’t just growl, your eyes see visions?

I have tested and trusted and I can tell you hunger will not kpai you, not even that fake intermittent fasting you suddenly chose to embark on because of hunger will kee you. Nope, hunger will keep you alive to see the working wonders of the Lord.

Here are a few ways hunger will dance with you but refuse to send you to be with the Lord.

1. You will wake up by 3am, eyes flashing and heart pounding as if ready for some jit-jiisu with a thief that just entered your room except it’s no thief. Your stomach is a culprit and the poor thing is begging for help.
2. You will bring out a book at 5am and you will list so many food options to try 'when you have money.’ It’s like your own version of hope but the hope has a k-leg and amnesia.
3. Cravings? They will hunt you like a pregnant woman. Shishi you don’t have but cravings? Watery mouth? They will show up like you own the keys to Hilda’s kitchen.
4. It’s 2:45pm and out of nowhere, something sings. At first you think, damn I just messed up the air casually but then you realize, no you did not, your stomach chose to sing at that particular time and as if to sentence you to death, 6:12pm that one boy you’ve been doing shakara knocks on your door to borrow broom and your stomach goes tattle-tale on you. Like shut the f*ck up, man!!
5. You become the CEO of your dream company. You become a billionaire at 21. You work with Elon Musk or Dangote. Some will call it delusion but you can call it hunger hope for without hunger how would you have considered the possibility of becoming such a big name/force? How would you even find out your potential?
6. Money begins to sound like your toxic ex, the one you had to get a restraining order on because why are you checking your 5 different accounts and all you can gather is 125 naira? Why? If money is not your ex ehh…
7. Home sweet home. You see that home you’re running from? It’s almost like you’re the prodigal shild. How you wish your father will be standing along the road waiting for you with open arms and a feast back at home. You will miss home like you miss your avoidant ex.
8. Your nose lits up suddenly, your neighbor seemed to be preparing fish stew, fried meat/fish, chinchin or peanut and rice and now you’re wondering if you should try out the life of a beggar or die with your pride intact on your bed.

So you see, hunger will not kpai you but oh what a world of delusion.

Don’t unalive yourself kids, don’t do it. And try this at home at your own risk.
