A Rationed Weekend
My weekend was one partly spent in the city of Owerri and partly spent in my village. There was a basis for why my weekend had to be rationed between my place of residence and my village of origin. I was prompted to travel home by a notification, which albeit seemed a command, to be present at home for the community exco meeting. My presence was needed, I was informed. As the deputy secretary and the handy scribe, my presence would be a fulfilment of service to community. And this too gives basis to why I'd seen it as a command! I returned Saturday evening and the meeting held on Sunday, after I had worshipped earlier. And very remarkably, I undertook my responsibility. I returned to Owerri having spent my weekend worthwhile- serving community and seeing my parents, who were elated to see me!
