Good Night

It’s a new month already – the best month of the year. I know you want to contest it, but let’s leave that for another day. I am excited that we all made it to this see this month… January came and disappeared just like that and many would say; “just now now, na wa o” but I will say nooo ooo… January was too long jooor. Maybe if you were as broke as I was, you would understand.

I had something else in mind when I started this post, but before I started, I went outside of the house and was met by a neighbour who greeted me. She said “good evening sir”, and I responded and asked how she was doing. She said “fine” and went on. It was about 9:00pm by then, a time I would consider as night.

I began to think: in the morning, we greet: “Good Morning”. In the afternoon, we greet “Good Afternoon” while in the evening, we follow same pattern; “Good evening” Then when it is night, it becomes a little difficult continue the pattern. We still stick with good evening greeting. We use “Good Night” only when we departing from a person or people in the evening or at night. I tried greeting someone after that my neighbor passed; I greeted him saying “good night”. He immediately pursed, looked at me with this funny look and said "are you forcing me to go and sleep?"

So now I am asking you, does the greeting "Good Night necessarily mean I am parting with you and wish you a good night rest? Nawa o...

You may not be reading this at night, but good night...lols
