I remember one of those nights when NEPA took light and the generator was on leave. I came home, knew there was light in the environment and swiftly went to the power unit to switch off the lights. After doing this, I came upstairs and joined in the lamentations of typical Nigerians. Then I asked why all other houses had light and we don’t. You asked Maria to try the lights again and apparently to your expectation it came out blank. No result. I remember how I could do magic and bring back the lights by the lifting of my hands. Oh, you laughed and told me to stop my jokes. Well you did not notice as I went downstairs to switch ON the lights and then I came back up. I resume my conversation and told Maria to switch on the lights when my hands went up. Hands went up, lights were switched on and to your amazement lights came. You were so amazed, I laughed and laughed and did not stop laughing as you wondered how I got the lights on with the lifting of my hands. Yes, I remember mum. I remember all the fun times and I remember the other times but through it all you stayed firm and prayed. Love you mum, now and always. You were truly God’s gift to me
