this Saturday I went to me wife's house because I missed her and my twin baby. Our friends planned to have our outing near the falls. I were the master mind of that outing. So they set up date and that is August 23 10:30 am so every thing is packed up we have so many friends width us, we arrived at the venue and it was beautiful though it is not the main attraction that we are going to...that is just a mini dam. and it is a falls. at the foot of the mountain. We were enjoying the place bathing swimming. Then we decided to stop and take our lunch. After taking our lunch we went to our main attraction the falls! we gone up through the narrow way beside the mountain going to the falls I am scared looking down a little mistake or slip will cause you death in an instant, at last we arrived and the falls is beautiful we began to step on the water and it's cold and deep level on the shoulders. My friends gone to the top of the big stones jumping diving on the water in my curiosity I went on jumping with them at first I was successful but on my second try that was the worst! I jumped and then suddenly I was 6 feet deep on the water so I was shocked I can manage to swim to the upper side of the water but when I try and swim the strong current of the water pulls me to the deepest side of it I was so scared when I was in deep I saw green colors and suddenly flashed my back in time thinking of my twins and my wife! I got a little strength and began struggling to swim. My friends though I was joking so they did mind me until I shouted help I am drowning then one of our friend rushed toward me and held up my hand and we both pulled by the current but he held on the stone and quickly our other friends helped us. I was so shocked when I am on the land got my knees shaking. but I am thankful because I am still alive right now. I don't know if I am lucky or just God given me a 3rd life to continue.

Phew, that was a close shave ! I often wonder why people really go to dangerous places, first of all, climbing up the steep mountain path where the chances of falling down are plenty, then to jump from the top of the mountain into the falls is another folly I fail to understand. I know we feel nothing can happen to us and we go headlong into danger. Im just thankful you were saved in the nick of time, for I can imagine the grief your foolishness could have caused your family. Please in future, do not try any stunts, for you are very important to some people. You have been given a second chance to live, so thank God and the powerful stars of your family for the help. Count your blessings and live a good life.
