"For almost a month now, he said a snake has been in his room, we have fumigated, we have called some snake whisperers, e don even call boys to move everything in his room to look for the snake but they didn’t find anything.

"Daddy has refused to sleep in his room and keeps insisting there is a snake. The death of the singer in Abuja from a snake bite sef didnt help matters, as that one happen in between bayii, na wahala. It was so frustrating that I kind of thought maybe it is now going psychological because of his condition.

"Or maybe he could be right? Saturday we will find out. Can a snake even survive Up to a month in a room without food? Is Papa Hallucinating or imagining things? I sha went home today. Cos I was a bit angry on the phone about the snake situation.

"Saw his feet/ Swollen (from sitting for too long I guess). And his nails were long too. Decided to take care of that. I mean as a kid I use to do all of these for him even tho it was against my wish. But I enjoyed doing this. Now we live closer. He will see more of me!"
