DANIELLE’S ARGUMENT – “There is no __ at Home”

I stepped into a store to make some purchases. When I got back into the car, Danielle said to me, “Daddy, I told you to buy me _” (a particular drink she wanted). Her mum replied her that, “You already have in the freezer at home”. I also emphasized it. But Danielle kept insisting that there was no drink at […]

SPICED VEGETABLE AND STRONG FRIENDS

Asides plantain, I love good vegetable. I mean the one spiced with assorted meat and fish. Wow! But the combination of the two (plantain and vegetable is magical). On a visit, my wife and I were served this awesome plate of vegetable just as described above. Once my wife tasted it, she gave me a warning smile and said, “Darling! […]

“DADDY, I DON’T LIKE THIS ONE”

Danielle has a series of videos that covers Rhymes, Numeracy, Bible Stories, Good Behaviour and all. She has the ones she loves and she has the one she does not like. Anytime I put the video on any of the aspects that she does not like, she would protest and I have to say her repeatedly: “Danielle, you don’t have […]

BLEEDING LOVE

I still had the bullet wound at the upper right-hand corner of my back. The wound was not as fresh as the memories of the attack itself! I dozed off at the backseat of the commercial bus with the noise of its acceleration disturbing my nap! The next thing I heard was a loud bang like a gunshot. I jerked […]

HER FIRST WORDS TO OUR FIRST DAUGHTER

When we returned to the room in the ward. My lovely wife opened her eyes for a little while and requested to see her baby. As they laid the baby in her hands, she said “Moyantoluwa, this is you.

WHO FINISHED THE JUICE?

When Dad leaves a pack of juice in the freezer, I drink as much as I can but I ensure I do not finish the juice. My siblings or most times my cousin would see just a remnant and feel Dad would not be interested any longer in a tiny quantity. So they finish the juice not realizing that I […]

MUMMY’S 4’0 CLOCK RITUALS

As kids, we know that there were two hours of the day that Mum will never miss praying- 4am and 4pm. She utilised that hour so much that we gave lyrics to the 4’o clock chiming of our wall clock- “Stand up immediately”. We knew whatever Mummy was doing, she would pray for 4am and 4pm. Of recent, I got […]

“GRANDPA, I GOT HERE BEFORE YOU”

My late maternal grandfather was recuperating in Eruwa after a bout with ill-health. He had the culture of sitting on a reclining chair under the mango trees behind the house in the evening. One evening, Grandpa stepped in for some few minutes. Before his return, a new occupant was on the chair- our neighbour’s little boy! Grandpa said, “Samuel, This […]

DON’T BE IN A HURRY

We were in a hurry to catch up with a meeting in Eruwa but we needed to pick up a new cartridge for the office printer. I ran into one of those road side stores that sell computer accessories. Glory to God! The exact thing that I needed was there. It was slightly expensive but why not pay some money […]

“IT DOES NOT RESPECT MISSIONARIES”

They are both amazing children of God. I asked them a simple question: “Seeing that the two of you would be getting married soon, I want to ask, “How did you manage sexual pressure or it did not happen to you at all”. My friend looked at me and said “My brother, that thing does not respect missionaries” (He is […]
