COUNSEL FOR YOUNG HUSBANDS (2)

CLICK HERE TO READ COUNSEL FOR YOUNG HUSBANDS (1) Just few weeks after our honeymoon, I came home that evening to a slightly moody wife- one word answers and feigned smiles.

COUNSEL FOR YOUNG HUSBANDS (1)

In the midst of our disagreement that day, I wondered why such a little issue could bring about such huge reactions. (Some responses you get at times goes deeper than the issue itself. Men must learn to listen to what has not been said also until your wife masters the art of expressing herself) I was concerned. I called our […]

ASSUMPTION IS COSTLIER

When we hooked up with my friend who had gone ahead to get us a room in the hotel for our first night as a couple, we loved what we saw. The hotel shared borders with a great view of the ocean. We thought that the rooms facing the great ocean view would be more expensive and we were almost […]

THIS WILL HELP YOUR MARRIAGE

As we drove away from the place of the interview, I told Irewamiri that the singular most essential ingredient for a great marriage is training. A lot of people marry because they are in love but they end up managing crisis because they are not trained. It is a burden that we study in school for years to become a […]

WHEN THE WOUND WAS OPENED

As they rushed him into the theatre, they needed to get to the wound pretty quick. In episodes like this, you do not even try to spare the cloths- a sharp scissors did the tearing. When the cloths were gone, the wounds were exposed- my brother passed out. He was seeing the wounds of our uncle for the first time. […]

I DON’T WORK HERE

As we carried those that had been wounded in the armed robbery attack into that hospital, a doctor met us right at the door. He began to do all things with the speed of light. The ones with major wounds were wheeled into the surgery room and treatment began. The bullet wound on my back was also stitched. When he […]

THE TREES OF MY SCHOOL

Back in our days in the University (Obafemi Awolowo University), you could get to walk from the hostel to your classrooms under the shade of trees that protect you from sunlight most of the way.

THE INVASION

We got concerned about the insects in the compound. It was difficult to stay some few minutes outside and not get beaten. We got a very strong insecticide. One day, while we were away, someone sprayed the entire compound for us. But guess what happened, the following night, our house was invaded by flying insects. The young ladies at home […]

CLOSER TO THE MESS

When we moved into a new house that had a vast compound, Irewamiri was excited to grow a small garden of vegetables. She cleared some portion, prepared the ground and spread seed. We waited to see them grow but we were disappointed. Just a few sprouted and despite the care, it all died. She paused her gardening dreams for a […]

LET ME REMOVE THE BONES

I settled down to eat boiled plantain and herring fish sauce that evening. Danielle found her way to me- she wanted to share in my meal. Right after the first bite on plantain, she made it clear that she wanted fish. Unfortunately, the herring was quite bony and Danielle wanted it fast. As she chews one, she wanted the next. […]
