THESE TWO MUST BE READY

Irewamiri decided to sew a new garment for our daughter for her third birthday celebration. The moment I announced to Olive that Mummy was sewing a dress for her, her face lit up.

The day after our wedding, a dear one called and we responded that we were already in the place we chose for our honeymoon. We were to be there for the whole week. She said to us, “You both are very smart. We did not have any honeymoon. We just went back home to continue life and we had spent […]

THINGS TO SETTLE BEFORE MARRIAGE (4)

I had a list of those my wife must meet before we got married (asides from my relatives). We made quite some trips. It was tough, but it was necessary. At a point, someone told us that we had to reduce our trip, but I explained that it was key that my wife met all the people concerned. One of […]

THINGS TO SETTLE BEFORE MARRIAGE (2)

I got several counsels ever before I asked my wife to marry me. My spiritual father said to me: “Son, there are two very important things. First, be sure that you heard God.

WARNING SIGNS (10): WHEN YOU FORGET HOW WEAK YOU ARE

I still remember where I was standing that day some years back when my Sagem phone rang. The voice on the other end was sober. It was that of a dear brother.
