The Diary Game: 12 July,2026. Woke Up As A Security Guard and Had My First Meal.
My day started early today because I’m on duty as a security guard.
I woke up feeling a bit tired but I had to get ready fast.
Put on my uniform, checked my surroundings, and made sure everything was calm before my shift.

After rounding for a while, I went back to rest for a bit and then it was time for my first meal.
Today I had rice, beans and plantain. The food was hot and it filled me up well.
Eating after work makes me feel strong and ready to continue the day.

Being a security guard isn’t easy, but I’m grateful for the job and for food on the table
After my first meal of rice, beans and plantain, I felt a little energy come back into my body.
Being on security duty means you have to stay alert even when you’re tired. So I drank water, washed my plates, and went back to my post.
The morning was quiet. No wahala, just the sound of vehicles passing and a few people coming in and out. and also I had to control some billet trucks today
I used that time to walk around, check the gates, and make sure everywhere was safe. That’s part of the job.

Around mid-morning, one of my colleagues brought tea. We sat for a few minutes and gist small before going back to work.
Those small moments make the job easier.
By the time afternoon came, I was already thinking about resting after my shift. But for now, my focus is to stay committed and do the work well.
At the end of the day, every kobo counts and every duty matters.
I’m grateful for today. For life, for strength, and for food.
Tomorrow is another day to show up.
