We were at the airport in Accra waiting for our flight back to Nigeria. Take-off time was 5.15 pm and we'd arrived early enough to settle in at the lounge and grab some snacks and drinks.
About twenty minutes to 5, I checked my wristwatch. I glanced at the screen ahead of me and saw our flight "Ibom Air - 5:15 pm - On time". Okay.
About ten minutes to 5, I checked my wristwatch again and began to get uncomfortable. Our flight hadn't been called. It was unusual. I glanced at the screen again and still saw our flight with "On time". I almost thought they were mad. This is say 20 minutes to our take-off, you've not called us, and you're saying we are on time. How?
I kept my cool. Then about five minutes past 5 pm, I looked at my wristwatch again and, this time, looked at my husband who was comfortably working on his laptop.
WHY HAVEN'T THEY CALLED US???
We were literally ten minutes away from take-off and they hadn't even boarded us. "Oh God, these Nigerian airlines!!! Always showing their anyhowness. In what world is this even acceptable?!!!"
My husband's response was shockingly calm - "Baby, they'll still call us. We're on time".
Ah ha. ON TIME KE???? Meanwhile, my husband is the human reference of punctuality. He gets everywhere early.
That was when it clicked!!! When we arrived Ghana, my phone's clock had automatically reset to Ghanaian time. However, because I wanted to stay connected to the Nigeria, I left my wristwatch on Nigerian time.
It was 5.15 Nigerian time, but it was 4.15 Ghanaian time 😭😭😭
I couldn't believe my ridiculousness. I spent the next one hour thinking about what that means to many of us. Are you really late in life? Or are you just unaware of the time of your life? Are you really late? Or is the problem the clock you're looking at.
Often, we're looking at how our lives move with wristwatches that belong to the societal pressure. You're getting older. You should have done this. Time is running. You're late already.
But what if you're not late? What if you're on time? What if you simply need to understand what God says about who you are and where you are?
As the Yorubas say, "Má wo ago aláago ṣiṣẹ́ ọ" (Do not work with someone else's time).
That experience will remain with me.

There is an urgent medical information I want to pass across. This will save your life, pls come close.
If you ever see rotten tomatoes that looks like these pictures I posted, or if you ever see onions with black spots on them or you see corn with mould on it,
PLEASE RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.
Why do I say this?
All these food items are contaminated with a poisonous fungus called AFLATOXINS.
Aflatoxins are notorious for increasing the risk of liver cancer. When you eat food that has this type of tomatoes, or you eat food cooked with this kind of onions or you eat this type of corn you are at risk of developing liver cancer.
Only eat fresh tomatoes, fresh onions and fresh corn. Avoid rotten tomatoes, blackened onions or corn with mould (even if they are cheaper to buy).
This is not a threat or a joke.
This is a real life serious medical issue.
Kindly share this information.
