Why Do The Good Die?

 

My name is David Galaxy and I'm your friend. Please never forget that.
Today is Friday and by Sunday 29th, I will be among the graduating students of Word Of Faith Bible Institute(WOFBI), Basic Certificate Course(BCC); July special at Living Faith Church across the street, the biggest branch in my metropolis. ok, am a bit nervous but I'll be fine. The two weeks intensive study was one of the most amazing experiences I've had this year.

Every morning after little or no house chores, what else, sit around dad and get the lectures of our lives. My dad is a specialist in the history of Nigeria.

My dad told us with emotional demonstrations every striking event that has ever happened in Nigeria some of which even pre-dates his birth.
