HOW I SPENT MY YESTERDAY

Funeral ground

I woke up very happy yesterday, that was unusual but I like the feeling, so I saidy morning prayer then tidy up my room before I went to brush my teeth.

I also took my bath alongside, then I had a visitor from my church, since we had a church burial to attend by 9am that morning.

So when the visitor came I was trying to make breakfast and eat, so she joined me in eating the breakfast, it was custard and beans that I had for my breakfast.

After we finished eating, I dressed up and we stepped out for the burial. There was a church bus at a designated area to convey every one down to the burial venue, so we joined the bus as we departed to the burial ground, it was actually in another LGA of the state.

Well seated at the burial ground

As we arrived the burial ground, we located the canopy that was meant for the choir and get seated. The funeral process has begun already, it was a celebration of life kind of burial as the late woman was about 86 years of age, and she was also a retired Nigerian police Officer.

Alot of the Nigerian Police Officer came to give her the last honor, infact the burial was partially conducted by the Nigerian Police because the woman held a big position in the Nigerian Police. Parade was done for her, and gun was heard everywhere.

After all the parade and demonstration from the Nigerian Police Officers, it was time for praise and we all dance amd rejoice with the deceased family members since they said that, they were celebrating their mother demised instead of mourning.

After all the dance and rejoicing, my pastor now gave a brief sermon on the dead and he charged us all to be of good courage that mama has finished her own part, that it's now left for us to leave our beat life so that we can also be celebrating at the end.

After the preaching from the pastor, we all moved to the graveside to lay mama to rest.

At the graveside, the pastor preach again before they lay mama down to the ground while the choir were singing all through the process of the laying down the corpse.

After the lay mama to rest, it was time for refreshment and we were all gathered in another place for the entertainment.

After all the eating, it was now time for us to depart to our destination. Our church bus was still on a standby waiting to convey us back home.

On the road waiting for our driver

As we all walked down to our bus stand our driver was not there, so we looked for him, he was still at the burial ground eating, we decided to wait by the bus and wait for him to come.

Few minutes later he came out and we all entered the bus and he drove us safely to our different bus stop.

As I got to the house I and my friend, we freshened up and rested for some minutes, my friend complained of hunger, so I prepared garri and beans for her to drink while I used local pear to drink my garri.

After eating my dinner I wanted to log into my Steemit account but my battery percent was below 10%, so I was unable to make any post, that was how I just locked up and retired to bed.

That was how my yesterday went and I believe you enjoyed reading my post, thank you for your patient.

I would like to invite my friends @irawandedy @eliany @saintkelvin17 to participate in this contest

One Love 💕
