What is expectation? In a language that a market woman can understand, expectation is a noun from the verb expect.

And that means something you expect to happen to you as a result of certain things.

Expectation means something that you expect to happen to you as a result of certain things.

For example, if there is a promise particularly if that promise is from somebody you can trust, then that promise becomes something you begin to look forward to that is coming.

That's what we call an expectation.

An expectation.

I still remember years ago, I went to Elisha.

I think around October.

And some little children were playing.

And they all came to me.

Daddy...

We want shoes, new shoes for Christmas.

And I said, okay, I'll buy it for you.

And they began to rejoice.

But then there was one fellow there who came later and saw them all rejoicing.

And he asked them, why are you so happy? Oh, we have shoes for Christmas.

Who told you? Baba Eko.

I said, Baba, who came from Lagos.

And he said, I too, I have shoes for Christmas.

And they all asked him, are you sure? He said, my father promised me And they all said, that's joking shoes.

You are joking.

Why? Your father promised you.

Your father.

Our own father, the one Papa Eko says, we will have shoes.
