It was 6.30 am. I walked into the girls’ room to wake them up for the day. After about three attempts of calling Danielle, I said to her, “Hey, Girl. It is time to get up. You don’t want to be late for school”. Her response was a perfect way to start the day, she turned around and with a […]
My sister and friend was heavily pregnant. They had gotten into the car about to drive out when she felt like expunging some phlegm. In her state, she felt too tired to stand. She could not get back into the house. The husband made the most interesting move ever- he asked the wife to spit into his mouth. The wife […]
Danielle walked into my office and met me having a conversation with a dear protégé. She came in excitedly and my protégé gave her the “High Five” hand gesture. Daniele went on her knees and greeted him without giving him a “High Five” in return. She then came to hug me and then I said, “Give me a High Five”. […]
At a point, I was getting pretty close to a young lady. We practically spoke every day. Do you know the kind of relationship where you both know you are on to something but you both are not talking? I knew it was going nowhere. Why? There was no way this lady friend of mine would ever choose to settle […]
A dear teacher and mother in the faith shared the story of how the Spirit of the Lord taught her to be tenderhearted towards her husband. It became a huge lesson for me. Here is her story:She just finished cleaning up the living room one day. She had a toddler already. She stepped out of the living room to do […]
I did not love a particular house chore while growing up, and it was worse on a Sunday afternoon. As a Pastor’s child, you would have people follow you home. So, it made me hate that house chore more- Washing Dishes! You would help in the kitchen to get the meals ready, and when everyone settles down to one game […]
It was September 2009, the Universities were on strike that year and my mobilization to Nigerian Law School was not yet effected. But I committed the time to reading and studying in the middle of the night. I wanted to invest my time in personal development. I was reading “Principles and Benefits of Change” written by Dr. Myles Munroe at […]
Just after midnight, I was just settling down to spend some time in prayers and study the Word when I heard the shuffling of tiny feet and an attempt to open a door. I stood up and approached the door to the girls’ room. As I opened the door, I saw Danielle half awake right behind it. I asked, “Baby, […]
In a bid to get me to support her on house chores because of all my complaints, Irewamiri said to me one day in anger, “Am I your Fatima?” She was asking figuratively whether she was my housemaid. I knew what she wanted. I knew what she meant. However, she did not get me to do house chores by squeezing […]
In the early days of our marriage, I would complain that I did not like the sight of used plates in the kitchen. Leaving plates overnight was a capital offence in my parents’ house. It does not occur all the time but once was enough to get me upset. Irewamiri also had a point- she is tired after cooking especially […]
