Drama Queen came to my office today.

She was hovering about as she usually does when she is about to spew out another balderdash. A patient I had called was already in my consulting room, but she did not tell him to go out or excuse us.

“Why don’t we organise an end of the year party, where we sit down together, and exchange gifts, amongst ourselves in the department? “, she yelps out hurriedly.

“Anyone who is interested should go ahead, but I have got so much work to do, and I won’t be able to attend”, I countered.

She wanted to say more things but I did not answer her, but simply beckoned to the bewildered, standing patient to take his seat.

As she was exiting the office, she threw a threat in the air, “You will later find yourself alone in that bush where you live”.

I got straight to my work, to attend to the patient’s needs, and all other duties before me.

I have heard those threats coming in different forms for the umpteenth time now over the past one year. I wonder what mischief makers gain by their threats that they have to create an air of love and peace with parties and false merriment, when underneath they crave for evil. People just want to be seen as kind when in real fact they are dining with the devil. Despite the fact that by family line, she is supposed to be conversant with common law, she has no idea, she is exhibiting workplace bullying.

She later sent a new staff to bring to me some folded papers on her hand for me to choose, which was more like balloting for me to choose, and the staff says, she told her I should choose and our Head has commanded everyone should choose. I told the staff to take it back, that I have already made up my mind not to attend.

Later, it was made public that a get together holds in two days where there will be exchange of gifts and comestibles to gulp.

I am baffled that at my age, people want to take me for a fool. I will be further persecuted now for another year for not coming out to celebrate foolishness and stagnancy organised by my own sworn enemies.

Just about 12 months ago, she had invited me for an end of year party in which I had paid ten thousand naira. On that day, I was extremely tired after work, and could not join them in the restaurant, for I went home straight to sleep. So called sympathisers who have always wanted to bully me were not happy, and they have increased their wickedness and hatred beyond proportion over the past 12 months, and that party has been their reference point, despite the fact that my money was not even refunded.

One year on, she has come with another strategy to conjure and awaken their gods of wickedness. But one thing I know, Almighty God always has a way to vindicate his own.

When I woke up this morning, I read Psalms 64. I leave it here for lovers of God to ponder upon.

PSALMS 64:

1 Hear my voice, O God in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity.

3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of everyone of them, and the heart, is deep.

7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

8 So they shall make their own tongues to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

10 The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
