“There are people I have decided to love at a distance. I have decided to love them from afar, and that is enough for now….

One of them is Ayo. ”

That was the first statement that came out of his mouth when we met for lunch. As if he was still angry.

I am not angry at him, though I was when the issue first happened. I couldn’t just take it, but how long can I hold a fellow man in my heart!  I have decided ‘Let Go and Let God’ help with the rest.

What happened, my friend?… I will want to hear it. These days, he is getting closer to me. So I know how to be careful around him.

You know I assisted Ayo at a point  while he was in school. That I know very well.

He is like a brother to me, and indeed, we are family members. Even if not by family blood, we are by Christ’s blood.

That was why I blocked him

One day, my sister and Ayo got talking.  At that time, they both lived with one of my aunties. One thing led to the other. Ayo and my sister didn’t like certain happenings in the house.

As they continued to talk, they both used very unpalatable words on my auntie. Things they won’t dare say if I was with them or if they were in the presence of any member of the family.

Do you know what happened after their ungodly conversation? Ayo went around and wickedly told my auntie all that my sister said.

Honestly, that singular action has brought a huge crack into our family, which only God knows when and how it will heal.

But your sister said those things, right? I asked. My problem here is very simple. He continued.

I see Ayo ‘s action as wickedness. I don’t in any way support or approve of the words my sister used on a dear auntie that I have a lot of respect for.

My problem is, knowing that you all contributed in the ungodly conversation. Why go and tell that of my sister? What do you want to achieve!

Unfortunately, my sister cannot exonerate herself because truly she said them, and there is no point going to also say Ayo said so and so. I don’t know whether you are getting me?

When two young people decide to be naughty and one turns around to stab the other in the back, it’s something I can just imagine.

That was why I blocked him

(As my friend talked and talked, I listened carefully to see what I could take home.)

He continued!  Today, he is in the good books of my auntie because he is the reporter, and my sister is the ungrateful fellow.

Am I mad because it’s my own sister? No, not at all. I am mad because this should not be done to anybody, particularly when you are also as guilty as the person you are reporting.

So that is why I blocked him. I don’t pay attention to him anymore. I don’t know what he is capable of doing next. I don’t intend to say any evil thing against my auntie, but you can’t be sure when he is around you.

For people like that, I have decided to value them as human beings, but to tell you, honestly, I can’t bring them into my inner circle.

At the weekend, I decided to meditate on the conversation I had with my friend, and these are my thoughts:

1. No matter your grievance against an elder, be careful the words you use, no matter how angry you are.
2. Don’t be a snitch. Just looking for favours when you know you as guilty as the person you are reporting.

I later encouraged my friend to heal completely and pray so  we see how to solve the problem Ayo’ s  action has caused in the family,

_The End_

For the love of God, society and young people

Blessings
