We returned from the clinic with quite some huge quantity of drugs- I have been ill. One thing I hated was drugs- just the scent of it will make me vomit. Drugs must be used in sweet drinks (even that is by force) or hidden inside yam flour (amala). As we sat at the table that evening, it was the […]
As I drove home, I noticed some doctor friends of mine were in front of their quarters. I drove to the front of their house, switched off the ignition and went ahead to exchange pleasantries. We all got to catch up. While at it, I heard “Eh, Eh”. I looked back and discovered that the car was moving by itself. […]
After my wife said “Yes” on the18th of August 2013. I thought I would surprise my Dad with the good news on his birthday, the 20th of August. Well! After wishing him a Happy Birthday. I told both himself and mum that I had a surprise for them and I broke the good news. They both rejoiced with me. But […]
A mentor shared how he preached a great sermon. It was the kind of Word that the preacher knows that he surely delivered. Still enjoying the euphoria of the moment, a young lady walks up to him and requested audience. He obliged. Then comes the bombshell: “Sir, the pronunciation is Van and not Fan”. He felt like “Ah!

As I was about entering the University gate, a young Nigerien girl grabbed my left arm- I really felt like shrugging her off but I tried to be patient as she begged for money. At that point, I had made up my mind to give her a hundred naira note but I decided to interact with her. I began to […]
Sometimes ago, I had a dream that I was visiting with a church member. While there, two men arrived on a motorcycle. They made straight for where I was. They stormed into the room and pointed a gun at my chest. I began to smile. One of them angrily said, “They told us that you are very stubborn but we […]
When I heard Danielle’s first cry at 2.23 am on the 22nd of March, 2017, my heart leapt for joy. When the nurse brought her out, I simply looked at her beautiful face. Then I told them, “I am waiting with my wife”. It took some time later but I stayed to follow my wife back to the room. I […]
As I stepped down the podium, I noticed I had aches on my right elbow. I kept wondering what was the cause. It then occurred to me that I had held on to the microphone for more than an hour. I have the habit of using my right hand to hold the microphone as I teach. The microphone is quite […]
I am a passionate lover of roasted plantain (we call it boli in Yoruba), especially when it is accompanied with groundnut- yummy! I always take some Ribena alongside with it. So think about you walking up to a roasted plantain seller with that strong appetite to have your favourite. You saw a really big, fresh and nicely roasted plantain and […]
