SILENT LABOURS

The nurses were discussing with the lady and I honestly thought she came in for antenatal care. She kept on the conversation with ease. Then one of the nurses said that she is in labour and was already halfway gone. I was in shock. She made no sounds. She was still talking and smiling. As I was leaving, I still […]

AT THE SOUND OF YOUR VOICE!

My brother and I sat behind the house that day. Before we knew what was happening, a lady began to run towards our direction. She seems to have scampered out of a house down the street. Our guess was that when the young man living in the house had the sound of his elder brother’s car, he had to send […]

SEEDS AND DEPOSITS

We settled to feast on the pounded yam and vegetable soup. We were already quite hungry. Danielle had her own in a small dish. As we began to eat, we noticed she did not eat. She kept looking at us as though she expected us to do something. Finally, she said, “Bless this Amala in Jesus name”. We were shocked […]

THINGS YOU MUST TEACH A CHILD (4)

In my second year at the University, I was getting more involved in the business of video coverage. I was making some good money also. At a point, I boasted to my Dad that I was making some good money. He gave me a stern warning, “I sent you to school to study Law and not to do business”. When […]

THINGS YOU MUST TEACH A CHILD (3)

I was visiting with my uncle when he told me a story: He would normally drop his kids off in school before heading to his office. One day, his daughter and son began to fight over who will sit by the door. My uncle got displeased. His judgment was simple- The two of them would return from school with public […]

THINGS YOU MUST TEACH A CHILD (2)

Dad wanted to buy a V-boot Mercedes Benz (Station Wagon). He gave the money to someone he believed was trusted who had helped in car deals for others that he knew. We kept waiting for the day the new car would arrive. Unfortunately, it never did. It was such a moment. But I saw Dad and Mum handle the disappointment […]

THINGS YOU MUST TEACH A CHILD (1)

Few weeks after Dad and Mum dropped me off in the State University I first attended, I fell ill. It was my first time away from their watch and care. It became so terrible in the middle of the night and I was all alone and I had no phone. As the tears dropped, I remember that Dad and Mum […]

REVIVE YOUR TROUBLED SOUL (5)

When we drove out of that city, my wife said to me, “Thank God for fathers. This is a place to visit regularly. I feel so refreshed” If anyone had said we would be that refreshed in 24 hours, it would have been difficult to believe- we just barely made it through a rough evening! Friends, there must be people […]

REVIVE YOUR TROULED SOUL(4)

She did not tell me this until after she said “Yes” to my proposal: She was always losing her peace whenever she said to herself that she does not want to marry me. I understand it all. Who wants to marry a man who has mouth but no money? Who wants to marry a man who cannot answer questions like, […]

REVIVE YOUR TROUBLED SOUL (3)

I woke up from sleep that night and all I knew was that two of my roommates were running from room to room chasing themselves and laughing. Well! They were already drunk. They would stand in the middle of the room and laugh. Then they will run again. It was a sight to behold. They even said to themselves, “Do […]
