Revealing the four- Part 2

Image
Ella has always been like the manager of the group. Always rebuking the wrongs and ensuring the rights. No wonder she has earned the name ‘headie’. You know, she reminds us of our headmistress who was usually called ‘headie’. Ella is the 1 st ‘E’ in the GEED. She has been around for long and has played her part to the group half heartedly. Half heartedly because her whole heart isn’t with the group lol. This is probably because she is the mother of all nations – with so many friends and people to attend to. Everybody demands her attention and so the GEED has to battle with other people all the time to get headie’s attention. Headie is blessed with this gift of being able to get into people’s heart without struggling. She is able to convince people to do things the way she wants without struggling at all – im sure taxi drivers will confess and agree to this lol; the number of times they have to cut down to the zero level their taxi fares. And with this gift, she has tried to keep ...

Now let’s start unravelling what makes up the quadruple. We will begin with ‘G’. G represents Georgette, a stubborn member of the GEED. In my opinion I think G is troublesome and has all the emotional issues. Lol. She likes picking up petty quarrels with other members of the group and she is very revengeful. If you hit G once, expect her to hit you back. I think her motto is ‘no mercy for the cripple’. Because she will make sure she pays you back in your own coins and probably add some notes to it hehe. She seems to love having issues with everyone, probably except the ‘headie’ (we will talk about her later), maybe because the ‘headie’ won’t give a damn about her issues.  On the other side, G is the ‘lighter’ of the group. She can light the group with laughter and smiles by her experienced and talented joking. She has this skill or talent that I admire so much – the ability to imitate people in their exact manner. She can speak in the same voice and dramatize any o...

Quadruple Knot

Nature has a way of bringing people together that no act of man can do. We left school with no intention or planned idea to be together afterwards, however, nature made that plan for us by bringing us together. What we may have thought was going to be just a one-time outing continued to be two, then three and three grew to ten and now its uncountable. If you ask me, I will say ‘yes I love ma gerls’ – GEE. I honestly don’t remember how we came together to form a quadruple. All I know is that we are! A great quadruple! And this is where I disagree with the theory that ‘three’ is a crowd and so ‘four’ is disaster. I keep wondering about the very thing that has been the binding factor after several years of leaving the school or the very person who among the quadruple has been the motivating factor to keep us moving on and on and on. I still haven’t discovered that thing or which person though but I’m of a personal belief that it is God working out His perfect plan for our lives...
