There was a day my dad called me and mentioned that I had to visit a dear relative who was bereaved in Ibadan. He had gone like twice in a short while. He insisted I needed to go. I wanted to go but I had to tell him that I [...]

Some time ago, I was away for a week-long meeting. The day I arrived was such a huge moment with Irewamiri and the children. Some hours later, I got an email from my wife. I was surprised. I read through it, and it highlighted the areas that she was grateful for in the journey of our marriage. She spoke about […]
I have a dear friend I adopted as a sister many years ago. I would visit her and the family. They had her Grandma living with them. I became a part of the family. When she brought her man to the house to introduce him to her grandmother, her grandmother was confused and asked, “How about the man in glasses […]
It was just a few days after our wedding. A dear one called and said, “Temi, where are you?”. “We are in so and so place. We are taking out the week to rest before we return to base”, I responded. It was our honeymoon. She replied and said, “You are a wise young man.” She narrated how she had […]
We had to step into a marital situation that was degenerating. When we got to ask questions, we realized it was a phone issue. It was shocking how a simple issue can fester to become so gangrenous. The husband insisted his wife could not and must not touch his phone. He said he does not touch her phone, so she […]
I grew up using the New General Mathematics textbook. One of the things about holidays was the pages of mathematical sums we would get to solve. I had a childhood friend whose parents got an extra-lesson teacher for on both Mathematics and Further Mathematics. We often get to read together in his Dad’s hospital. Often, he would take through the […]
Just a few years after marriage, he took an interest in helping out a particular young lady. What started as a counselling session to help a young girl genuinely was already sliding into a wall between his wife and himself. To make matters worse, it seems as though he was not even sensitive enough. He started giving his wife one-word […]
We were going through an interesting season as a couple- our little savings could not fix the problem on ground. In the middle of the crisis one morning, I woke up to a lengthy memo from Irewamiri. She suggested a move that negated one of our core values and principles as a family. Dear husband, needs can push a family […]
There was a time when I was getting pretty close to a female friend. I had the intent of asking her out. Due to my desire, my priorities were affected. I would always go the extra mile to please her. I could be on my way to prayer and get her call, and I would postpone praying to speak with […]
I fell in love for the first time as an undergraduate, and we were sure it would work out. After six years, the tables turned for one major reason- vision! As our vision for life began to unfold, it was obvious that our trajectories were different. The clarity for this came years (after I met my wife) when my grandfather […]
It happened around Yaba in Lagos State. It was still a bit early in the morning. We parked, waiting to connect with someone. Then we saw the most unusual scene- it has not left my mind since then. We saw a man and a woman who wore the same attire drive by in a car at speed. The unusual thing […]
