Hunger is temporary madness as well as the worst disease. I have felt
it in both ways, I even failed the Common Entrance Examination to
Nigerian Navy Secondary School, Abeokuta because of hunger! My brother
had a unique experience which I will relate here. I visited him in
school and we attended a Redeemed church for Sunday service. No sooner
had we entered the church than I arranged myself into one of my
award-winning positions such that it would take the FBI to discover that
I was dozing. I later woke up to discover that my brother was no longer
sitting beside me.
I got home after church to see that he could
barely sit up and was frail-looking, talking only in whispers. I pitied
him, thinking that the witch that shot this guy an arrow doesn't even
take week end break. Later he managed to tell me that I should take N35
Naira to go and buy rice for him. After he had eaten, his condition
improved and he told me that he could barely walk and had to be
supported all the way home from church. I told him that I'm hungry too
and he gave me, "You are filled in Jesus' name," saying that the N35 was
the last money he had. Of course I packed my bag and traveled home same
day.
Please share your experience with hunger.
