FINE WITHOUT BUT EATEN WITHIN

There is this sound I hear when I work late into the night in our living room back in our former residence. It is like that of a small rat nibbling at something underneath the chair. I kicked the chair but the sound did not stop. Weeks later, I decided to turn over the chair and find out what was […]

SHOULD IT FALL BEFORE YOU WAKE UP?

A dear one was praying and sleeping off. The phone was dropping off her hands as she dozed. You know those moments when sleep is taking its toll on one. She would adjust and hold her phone properly again. Then after a while, her hands were dropping gradually and then the phone fell off. At that point, she woke up […]

SILENT IMPACT

I got home from school in my third year. It was late in the evening. I greeted mum and I asked after dad. Mum replied gleefully, “Your dad has gone to pray in the school compound. You have infected him with that location”. I had a culture of praying late in the night on the corridor of the storey building […]

WHEN HE WANTS TO HEAL YOU…

We had just been through some tough and rough season in Ministry. It was those seasons of sleepless nights. There was a siege on my mental frame. I prayed often. I sighed often. I knew I was hurt. Months later, I knew I had been healed when the Lord instructed me to give to someone who hurt me that season. […]

WHEN DADDY CAN PRAY

I could not keep it to myself anymore. I drove all the way to Dad’s office and confessed to him I was in love with a young lady. He asked for her name and description. He kept smiling. We prayed together and trusted God for His leading. Dad did not say a word. Two days after my wife said “Yes” […]

DANIELLE’S ARGUMENT – “There is no __ at Home”

Her mum replied her that, “You already have in the freezer at home”. I also emphasized it. But Danielle kept insisting that there was no drink at […]

SPICED VEGETABLE AND STRONG FRIENDS

Asides plantain, I love good vegetable. I mean the one spiced with assorted meat and fish. Wow! But the combination of the two (plantain and vegetable is magical). On a visit, my wife and I were served this awesome plate of vegetable just as described above. Once my wife tasted it, she gave me a warning smile and said, “Darling! […]

“DADDY, I DON’T LIKE THIS ONE”

Danielle has a series of videos that covers Rhymes, Numeracy, Bible Stories, Good Behaviour and all. She has the ones she loves and she has the one she does not like. Anytime I put the video on any of the aspects that she does not like, she would protest and I have to say her repeatedly: “Danielle, you don’t have […]

BLEEDING LOVE

I still had the bullet wound at the upper right-hand corner of my back. The wound was not as fresh as the memories of the attack itself! I dozed off at the backseat of the commercial bus with the noise of its acceleration disturbing my nap! The next thing I heard was a loud bang like a gunshot. I jerked […]

HER FIRST WORDS TO OUR FIRST DAUGHTER

When we returned to the room in the ward. My lovely wife opened her eyes for a little while and requested to see her baby. As they laid the baby in her hands, she said “Moyantoluwa, this is you. Have you seen your Daddy? You have an amazing father. Do you see how much you are surrounded by lovely people? […]
