The Day I Woke Up as a Goat
I went to bed as a normal guy… but woke up as a GOAT My own mother chased me with a broom, my best friend tried to turn me into pepper soup, and the whole neighborhood took pictures of me I thought my life was over until a miracle happened… POOF! I turned back into a human
I woke up feeling strange. My body felt smaller, my arms felt stiff, and my throat was dry As I stretched, I noticed something was very wrong my hands were gone. Instead, I had hooves I jumped out of bed and landed on four legs. FOUR LEGS I dashed to the mirror, and the sight nearly made me faint. I was a goat. A real hairy four-legged, tail-wagging GOAT
At first, I thought I was dreaming. Maybe I had eaten too much suya the night before. But the moment I tried to scream and only managed a loud “Meeeehhhhh!”, reality hit me hard. I was no longer a man—I was a GOAT in my own bedroom. My clothes lay scattered on the floor, and my phone buzzed with messages from my best friend, Kunle. But how could I text him? I had hooves!
Panicked, I did the only thing I could—I charged at the door, hoping to escape. Bad idea. Instead of opening it, I headbutted it so hard the entire room shook. My mother rushed in, took one look at me, and let out a scream so loud the whole neighborhood must have heard. “Blood of Jesus!” she yelled, grabbing her Bible. “Who brought a goat into my house
I tried to tell her it was me her son, Ayo but all that came out was more “Meeeehhh! Meeehhh She screamed louder. Before I could stop her, she grabbed a broom and started chasing me around the house, shouting You will not bring village people’s juju into my house
Desperate, I ran out of the house and straight into the street where the real horror began. People pointed, laughed, and even took pictures. Children threw groundnuts at me
A group of boys shouted, “See this big goat! Who lost their Christmas meat A butcher from the market licked his lips and muttered This one go sweet for pepper soup
Terrified, I sprinted to Kunle’s house, hoping my best friend would recognize me But the moment he saw me at his doorstep, he grinned Ahh, free goat! God has blessed me today.” Before I could escape, he grabbed a rope and tied it around my neckn Mummy, we are eating goat meat today he announced happily
I struggled and tried to speak, but Kunle was already calling his friends. “Guys, come over! Free barbecue today!” I had never felt so hopeless in my life. Just as I was about to accept my fate as pepper soup, my mother arrived, waving her Bible and shouting prayers This is not an ordinary goat she declared This is my son
At first, Kunle laughed Mama Ayo, you’re saying your son turned into a goat?” But when my mother started pouring anointing oil on me, something incredible happened. I felt a shock through my body. My legs tingled, my head spun, and suddenly POOF I was human again
Kunle screamed and fell backward. His mother fainted. The butcher who had followed us dropped his knife and ran. My mother just shook her head. “I told you! Village people tried it, but they failed
After that day, life changed. I stopped eating suya late at night, and I never went to bed without praying. I never found out how or why I turned into a goat, but one thing was clear I had escaped becoming pepper soup by a miracle
