DIARY OF AN ADDICT - Episode 37

We exchanged greetings and I asked after his well-being. I hadn’t finished greeting him when said,
Timothy: Brother Femi, I hope you still remember our last discussion?
Me: Sincere I can’t remember anything. Can you remind me please?

Timothy: Haaa? Brother, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten ooo. Well, what I said that day was that you should go and pray that we are thinking of making you the next youth president of the fellowship. Do you now remember?
