ASO-OKE OR COOKING OVEN

While making plans for their wedding, my friends realised that the traditional outfit called Aso-Oke for the two of them was going to gulp quite a sum of money. The husband wanted to know how to convince his wife that it was not a great idea. He had priced a cooking oven. The price for the Aso-Oke and the cooking […]

REFUSE TO BE ASHAMED

Just before I made a major decision in my life’s journey, I had to visit quite some folks. I was asked on one of those trips about what I do, “I mentioned that I was a Pastor”. I had to add that “I planted a church in Eruwa”. The next thing I heard was “So you are one of those […]

STOP LOOKING LIKE “JACK”

I cannot remember what we were eating that lovely afternoon but I know it was a great meal. Our neighbour’s son walked in and quietly leaned on the doorpost of the dining room. My elder sister spotted the young boy (he is a big man now) and made a statement that I can never forget. She said, “Why are you […]

IF I HAD TAKEN THAT TRIP

I was already preparing documents to travel out of the country for a few weeks before coming to settle into the call of God. One morning while studying, the Lord told me, “Travelling out, No!” I was sad. He then added, “Go to where I have sent you”. Years later, a dear one told me that he planned that on […]

“I WANTED YOU TO FEEL THE PAIN TOO”

In the early days of marriage, once there is a disagreement or a conflict, I would keep asking Irewamiri in the midst of our conflict that, “What is the Holy Spirit saying to you now?” She would not budge. After the conflict is resolved, I would ask again, “So what was the Holy Spirit saying to you”. Irewamiri would say, […]

INJECTION ABSCESS AND TRUSTING PASTORS

I had injection abscess when I was in Secondary School. On the day that it would be incised, I wore a free-flowing top to the hospital. When it was my turn for the surgery, the first thing I pulled off was my cloth as I laid naked on the table of surgery. I came to the hospital with a growth […]

USED CONDOMS AND OUR NEW HOME

A couple of years ago, I rented an apartment. After the old occupants moved out, I and some others had to do some clearing out of the apartment. We made a lot of discoveries that tell a lot about the lifestyle of the former occupants. The unwelcoming sight of used condoms stuffed in a bottle hidden in a corner on […]

“FUNERAL” BEFORE MARRIAGE

Just some three weeks or so into courtship, our planned meeting for a study was not going well. Every question I asked Irewamiri was met with a one-word answer. After all attempts failed, I decided that we change location- we drove to a quiet location and I began to probe again. Well! I did not know when the tears began […]

LAY THAT BED WELL

We spent the night at our friends home. We had an appointment to keep up with in the morning. As we packed our things to leave, I noticed we had not laid the bed. I began to do a rush work of laying the bed- some parts of the sheet were still rumpled. As I made to rush off, the […]

WHAT DO YOU SAY IN HARD TIMES?

As a young boy, I had the opportunity to see a diligent medical doctor go about his work almost every weekend. One of the days I cannot forget was a woman in the pains of labour who began to rain curses on her husband. She was not finding the process of labour easy. The matron shut her up and asked […]
