Right after our wedding reception, we planned already that we would not leave Lagos that day. We planned to spend the night on the Island. One of my beloved ones had gone ahead to book a room for us at a hotel that had the lagoon front as a view. We loved it when we got in but we requested […]
In childhood days, we had great times hunting birds, plucking cashews and mangoes and riding bicycles. One of those days, Kayode had caught a bird and Ayodele and I were with him. We needed a place to keep our new captive so we placed it in a case in the corridor of Kayode’s house. We went out to play for […]
After the filling of the foundation and the concrete flooring in the church project, it was such a delight to take some of the church members to the site after our Sunday service. After we had prayed, the Lord instructed that one person hold on to the iron rods that will eventually become the pillars. The Lord asked that we […]
We have some cashew trees on a landed property. We got the report that fire invaded the land even after clearing the base of the tree and burnt some of the trees on the land. We were not happy about it- it was not a beautiful sight. There were trees there full of burnt leaves. Some weeks later, I was […]
As I stood in front of our house some time ago, I noticed that there was an old cutlass close by. It was a very strong one. I told the person with me that “Kindly keep the cutlass away from the entrance”. He wanted some explanation and I said to him, “It would be inappropriate to supply a burglar the […]
Every time I see my girls fight for house chores, I have a good smile. They will fight for a broom to sweep and carry chairs to the sink to join in washing dishes. There was a time that Danielle was helping mum wrap Moin-Moin (a meal made from beans) and it ended up in a disagreement because she wanted […]
I was praying that night when the Holy Spirit said, “Why don’t you go to the kitchen and clear it up?” I went to the kitchen and cleared the dishes while I still fellowshipped with the Lord. In the morning, I was expecting to hear “Thank You, Darling, for cleaning the kitchen”. I heard nothing but silence. It seems the […]
For us as a young couple seven years ago, the evening did not seem to be starting on a great note. Every statement I made got a one-word answer like “fine”, “nothing” and “okay”. The atmosphere was thick. The room seems smaller. For almost two hours, Irewamiri was moody. I did all I could. I prodded and pushed so I […]
I was at a conference somewhere in the southern part of the country. As we worshipped, I sensed to lie on the floor. The floor of the church was rough but I still did eventually in worship. After the meeting, a man walked up to me and said, “I love the way you worship”. I appreciated him but then he […]
A childhood friend and I fought back in our secondary school days. It got a bit tough. He had the physical might and I had the mouth. I used my mouth. I abused him that he got home and told his mum what I said. His mum visited my parents that night and said, “Even if Temi and my son […]
