In my days in the secondary school, we had what we called “Morning Duty”. For the male students, it was mostly cutting grass. A prefect would assign portions. When you come, you will see those who did theirs and those who did not. You will see neatly cut portions among [...]
Read MoreSome interesting things happened when we first got married: First, we discovered that we loved different forms of mattresses. Irewamiri would wake up and complain about backaches while I slept soundly. When we changed our mattress, I started to experience back pain. We eventually figured it out. Second, I would [...]

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 […]
I proposed to Irewamiri while I was also her pastor. When she eventually said ‘Yes,’ I felt I had a huge responsibility to see her grow and become that “ministry material.” In the first few days of courtship, I began to load her with Kenneth E. Hagin’s study manuals. Our meetings were like that of a student and her teacher. […]
I had a dear friend that we both seemed to be getting pretty close. It was obvious we had a thing for one another. We loved to be in each other’s company. When away from each other, we kept a tab on each other. I knew where she would be per time. She had a tab on my schedule, too. […]
