OF AWO BOYS AND AMPHITHEATRE SHOWS 

The university I attended was quite a groovy one. There were constant events taking place in our Amphitheatre. Both A’list and upcoming artistes frequent the school. Most times the events are paid for. There are also the notorious boys of Awo Hall. They were popular for their “creative energy and throwing of verbal jabs”. We call it “Aro” (an exciting […]

Because of what they had experienced in other mission postings, they gave away all they had before they moved to the new place where they were now in charge because of the divine promotion they received. At their new base, it was not as expected. They had to start from scratch. They were the ones even taking care of things […]

CHRONICLES OF PROCESS: WE COULD NOT AFFORD IT 

Some few months after our wedding, we were in a supermart and we needed to buy body cream for the family. I had no particular preference but my wife had the one she was using as a single lady.

IN THE MIDDLE OF LABOUR (6)

When she gave the first push, the midwives began to encourage her. I kept telling her, “Babe, I am here. You can do this”. When the team lead noticed that she was getting a bit tired after about three pushes. She did something profound- she took my wife’s hands and told her, “Touch your baby’s head. She is here already.

The nurse told my beloved wife, “When you sense a strong urge that feels like you want to defecate, let me know. It means you are ready to push”. Then she left us to attend to other things. Some few minutes later, my wife began to say to me, “I want to defecate”. I called the midwives and they all […]

IN THE MIDDLE OF LABOUR (4)

When we landed at the hospital, the nurse on duty ushered us into the labour room to check the progress of labour. We had been confessing throughout the pregnancy that she dilates fast, fully and delivers with ease. When the nurse checked and mentioned that she was 8cm gone, we simply began to rejoice. Hope was lifted. We looked at […]

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 […]
