IN THE MIDDLE OF LABOUR (3)

Irewamiri had a typical morning routine of getting things set for the school while I had to bathe Danielle and get her ready also. As labour progressed, we had to decide to either abandon everything and focus on labour or just carry on with our morning schedule in the midst of it all- we focused on our morning schedules. She […]

IN THE MIDDLE OF LABOUR (2) – “MUMMY! DANCE”

After about 4 hours of being awake, I kept on encouraging Irewamiri as she went through the intermittent pains of labour. I would hold her as the pains heightened. She told me what she wanted me to do to help her through. But then Danielle woke up and noticed something unusual was happening. As we strolled in the compound around […]

AMID LABOUR (1)

Around 2 am, Irewamiri came to wake me up with these words, “Baby, I have been labouring for the past 2 hours. I cannot do it by myself. I need you by my side”. Well! Sleep vanished. I did not even know she was not by my side anymore. We began to labour together. 😊 Birthing your God-given vision is […]

OF “GOD SEES MY HEART” AND GODLY STANDARDS 

A while back, one of the Christian organizations I relate with paid us a courtesy visit in the office. In the middle of our conversation, I realised that one of the female executives had no issue with having her male fiancé spend the night in her room. I had to take out time to teach and guide them by the […]

I WANTED TO PICK HER HEARTBEAT

It was our first few weeks into marriage. I cannot particularly remember what led to the misunderstanding (Not sure if there was any in the first place). All I remember was my lovely wife went into the guest room and locked the door from behind- she did not want me close at all. Having no other choice, I picked up […]

DO NOT LET THE MESS STOP YOU 

Some years ago, It was my cousin’s wedding. I was driving down from Iseyin to Ibadan that cool Saturday in October. I had an associate in ministry with me. Just a few kilometres from the wedding venue, I was pressed. I wanted to do the minor.  I found a convenient spot in a bushy area. I parked the vehicle and […]

THE DAY I LIED TO DADDY

While I was still living with my parents, I was heading to the office in the morning but could not find the car key. I searched for it everywhere to no avail. I had a prompt to check the car itself. I found it locked inside the car. I remembered that Dad had a spare key. I went to ask […]

STOP ENJOYING “STRANGE” ATTENTION 

I went to minister in a church some years back. I was in my final year at the University. I noticed that every time I looked in a particular direction, a young lady’s gaze was constantly on me.  After service, I was interacting with a small group of people in the church. I cannot remember whether she was there or […]

YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO TEMPTATION

Some years ago, it was a season when I needed money. I left home to visit an uncle of mine who came into town. While with him, he stepped out for a bit. There was a huge sum of money on his bed. Do you know that strange thoughts began to come to me, “Why don’t you take a little […]
