SECOND CHANCES

I had just returned from burying my
father. His death irked me so much for he
died just when things started turning
around for good. I had returned back to
my base in Jos where I plied my trade as
a businessman. Since we buried my old
man in the last week of November, I had
no plans of returning again for Christmas.
I agreed to go first while my wife and four
months baby boy will join me later in two
weeks time. I had some business deals
waiting to be wrapped up and my wife as

REMINISCENCE

Awere was the only woman who truly got
me. I guess if there was one person I
couldn't lie to, it was her. She saw
through me like a transparent glass filled
with clean water. We met in the
unlikeliest of places and manner! It was
at a Heart to Heart Centre where I went
to do HIV test; my mother had just given
me an ultimatum to provide proof that I
was clean and had specifically referred to
Aunt Esther a kickass friend of hers who
worked at the centre! The order was
explicit get a proof or get out; Aunt
Esther must endorse physically by saying
she saw me and then with her signature
plus maiden name on the test result
sheet. My game was clearly up, I had no
other option than to go do the damn test!
Of course you need not guess, I was
scared to

STOLEN INNOCENCE - STILL SHATTERED

I rushed back home that fateful tuesday
morning as I forgot a file at home. The
traffic was bad as I found my way back
home. I decided to park my car outside to
make things easier and faster for me as I
was just going to pick the forgotten file and
head back to the office. Little did I know
that parking my car outside was my saving
grace, if I had honked for the gate to be
opened for me to park, I may have never
found out, it may have continued
unnoticed for a long time.

I guess the rattling of my keys while
opening the door alerted him. I saw my
little girl, my sweet beautiful little girl of
four rounding the corner of his room,
rumpled and disheveled, guilt and
confusion written all over her face.
Where is Adams I asked and she pointed
to the direction of his room, the room of
my house boy
I rushed into his room and found him
arranging an already arranged room. I
looked at him, then to my girl, him again
and to my girl. At that instance, I placed
one and one together and I collapsed on
the floor as it dawned on me, tears pouring
down my face. I was so shattered, I
couldn't believe my houseboy has been

DONT GIVE UP

"One day I
decided to quit. I quit my job, my
relationship, my spirituality. I wanted to
quit my life. I went to the woods to have
one last talk with God.“God”, I said. “Can
you give me one good reason not to
quit?”His answer surprised me.“Look
around”, He said. “Do you see the fern and
the bamboo?”“Yes”, I replied.“When I
planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I
took very good care of them. I gave them
light. I gave them water. The fern quickly
grew from the earth. Its brilliant green
covered the floor. Yet nothing came from
the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on

Most often than not, the trouble most
people find themselves in are brought on
them by their own handwork, but when
the problem take over their lives and
swallows them up, others pity them and
cry foul to God, asking why God would
allow such terrible things happen, when in
true sense it's not the fault of the creator
but an outright fault of the creation, be it
male or female.

I live a very busy life, because of the kind
of work i do and my position in the
company i work with, but however busy i
am, my work ends in the office, i never let
my office work spill over to the house,
despite this my hands are always full when
i am at home because of the handful of
activities i have to grapple with

Blogger Diary - Most Uncomfortable Journey

I have pondered long before deciding to share my diary sessions on my blog and decide to give it a shot. I promise to be truthful and open as much as i can.  Enjoy


I left the house hurriedly at about 4:00pm as i didn't want to get to Otta late. I had promised my fiance that i would be coming over to the family house to see his people and i was not about to break that promise. My fiance had already called pleading i leave the house on time because of the usual traffic around Abulegba. I got to Oshodi and decide to follow the coastal bus because it was much cheaper than the smaller ones. As i boarded the bus, i noticed that most of the comfortable positions had been occupied and i didn't want to go to the back. Most Lagosians dont like that though. I looked around and decided to pitch my tent beside one 'aboki". the look he gave me was so uncomfortable

We are at fault too. HAPPY INDEPENDENCE - NIGERIA

To you all insulting Jonathan nd blaming the
past administration for the failure of the
country, this is for you;

If you have ever swindled anyone, u are the
problem of Nigeria

If you have ever cheated ur way through
school, then you are the problem of Nigeria

If you have ever inflated the price of a
project or anything for ur own selfish
reasons, then you are the problem and
headache of Nigeria

If you have ever carelessly tossed dirt on our
roads with less care, then dont compare
our country to the western ones because
you are the problem of this country

If you have ever.... if you have ever ....... I
could go on and on.

Bottom line, Charity and Greatness of this
Country starts from us.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

Great is your mercies towards me.
Your loving kindness towards me
Your tender mercies I see
Day after day
Forever faithful towards me
Always Providing for me
Great is your mercies towards me, great is
your grace.

Thank you Jesus,
For this life that you have given me
I can never repay you but from my heart,
I'd love to say that I thank you.
For a complete 365 days in my life.
You have been so faithful, nd loving.

Thank you JESUS.

Does he Love me if he stares at other women?

Guys are sight stimulated. The earlier
ladies recognize this fact, the better for
them. That your man looks at a beautifully
proportioned woman and admires her
doesnt mean he will go chasing after her
or that he doesn't love you. They are
wired that way nd believe me, they would
definitely look. So, stop nagging wheneva you
see him appreciate a work of art. You can
be matured about it and laugh about it or
gist about it. Stop putting him in a cage
whenever you are with him. You matter the
world to him but dat doesn't mean he
won't look at a wriggling waist when it
passes before him. It becomes bad when
his stares linger, but if it is just a glance,
forget it nd let it pass.

What do u think?

Temptation - 2

Opeyemi sashayed back into the sitting room and watched as her husband devoured her with intense stares. She glanced at the wall clock and noticed it was almost time for bed, she moved close to her husband and settled on his laps.

"Lets go to bed baby" she whispered in hushed tones

Without caution, Douglas lifted Opeyemi as he stood on his feet and buried his head into her bared breast

"you smell so divine and so ripe for the taking" he murmured without lifting his head
"im gonna make you squirm and pant and scratch and moan till you beg me" he threatened playfully

Mmmm, i like the sound of that. Opeyemi replied

He laid her carefully on the bed and began to undress himself as he

Temptation

 Opeyemi paced the length of the room for the third time. She needed to do something real fast. If she didn’t take this offer now, she knew she might never have another opportunity. Her husband had been adamant about the issue, he was giving her no money. She had even nagged a little but it didn’t work, she had sulked and did everything a woman could do to get her man do  something for her but it didn’t work, she even went further to give him explicit and wild sex everyday but her husband wouldn’t even bulge. She was at a cross road right now and she had one week before the offer elapsed. She sighed aloud and decided to do laundry while thinking of what to tell her husband when he gets back from work. Her red lingerie fell from her bundle of clothes when she lifted them, she picked up the delicate material and a smile played on her lips. She could remember intimate moments that resulted when she put on this particular lingerie and then suddenly and idea flashed through her mind, she knew what she was going to do to make her husband give her the money, she laughed aloud and proceeded to the laundry room as she knew this last plan wouldn’t fail her.

Mr Douglas Adeyamo glanced as his wrist watch and knew he was already running late. He had to go home and eat the delicious meal her wife had prepared. She had called earlier to tell him she was preparing his favorite – pounded yam and egusi soup. He laughed to himself, his wife wouldn’t give up on her quest on attending a beauty school and was doing everything to make him re-consider and sponsor her. He would go home, eat his sumptuous meal, make sweet love

 HOW WE MET

Around twenty years ago I was living in Jos,plateau state and going through hard times in life . I could not find satisfying work and I found this especially difficult as I had a lot of experience and a Masters degree.To my shame I was working at a school just to make ends meet and living with friends. I had lost my apartment. I had been through five interviews with a company and one day between job runs,  my office called to say I was fired.

 Later that afternoon, while doing my driving through a quiet friendly neighbourhood I had an inner wave – like a primal scream – arise from deep inside me and I thought “Why has my life become so hard?” “Give me a sign, I asked… a physical sign – not some inner voice type of thing.” Immediately after this internal scream I pulled the my car over to drop off a friends little sister and as she got out of my car she handed me an earring saying I should keep it in case somebody claimed it. The earring was stamped metal, painted black and

Different Faces..... Different Destinies..............

Sir Henry

A samurai who was known for his nobility and honesty, went to visit a Zen monk to ask him for his advice. When the monk had finished his prayers, the Samurai asked

 “Why do I feel so inferior? I have faced death many times, have defended those who are weak. Nevertheless, upon seeing you meditating, I felt that my life had absolutely no importance whatsoever.”

“Wait, Once I have attended to all those who come to see me today, I shall answer you.” – replied the monk.

The samurai spent the whole day sitting in the temple gardens, watching the people go in and out in search of advice. He saw how the monk received them all with the same patience and the same illuminated smile on his face. At nightfall, when everyone had gone, he demanded:

 “Now can you teach me?” 

The master invited him in and led him to his room. The full moon shone in the sky, and the atmosphere was one of profound tranquility.

 “Do you see the moon, how beautiful it is? It will cross

Virginity! Virginity!! Virginity!!!

 Lets discuss this issue of virginity properly 

• What is virginity?
• How can we define it?
• What criteria makes one a virgin?
• Will you call a girl who has mastered the art of blow job a virgin even if she hadn't experienced any prior penetration?
• Would you call the same guy who had received a blow job a virgin but hadn't actually broken a hymen or had proper penetration?
• What about people who masturbate and have several orgasm and haven't had any form of penetration before, would they still be classified as virgins?
• Would you call a girl a who had experienced numerous orgasms either by stimulating her breast or vagina a virgin?
• Would you also call the guy who has ministered such a virgin?

If we weigh all this options, are we certain virgins still abound? What do you think ...........................

Beautiful Nightmare

It had been a hectic day for Susan as she went shopping with her sister for her upcoming wedding. They had walked down the length and breadth of the popular Balogun market searching for the appropriate materials suitable for her wedding theme. It was already late when they finished shopping so Susan decided to call her parent that they were going to spend the night at her fiancé place as they were so tired to make it to their Sango resident that night. Susan and her sister headed for Lawanson to spend the night there.

It was already 9pm when they got to Lawanson and made their way to Baale Street. Susan didn’t call her fiancé that she was coming as she had planned to give him a surprise visit. As they got to his apartment, Susan whispered to her sister to make it gently to the guest room as she tiptoed to the master bed room to meet her fiancé knowing he would be tired and sleeping a reason he forgot to lock the door. Approaching the master bedroom, she heard faint sounds coming from the bedroom,  She wondered if he was having a nightmare and became worried. Getting to the bedroom, she noticed it was open. She could notice two shadowed silhouette as the moonlight illuminated the room. She could hear the sounds properly, they were moans from the two figures on the bed

“hhhhhhhmmmmm, oh baby, have never been this sweeter”

“Ride me faster baby, I’m about to cooooome”

Susun saw the shadow tilt her head backward and was

Diary of a MAD Woman - 4

Princess could feel the tears cascading down her face. She couldn’t believe the contents of what she had found in Kelvin’s House. Yes, he deserved to be called by his name, his role as her father ended the day she came back from the United States where she had finished with her basic education. She had hoped coming into a house filled with love and warmth but she met the direct opposite when she stepped her feet in the house. She had been surprised that her mother didn’t follow Kelvin to pick her from the airport. When she had inquired Kelvin brushed the question carelessly by saying Mother was busy. She knew in her heart then that he wasn’t telling the truth, mother couldn’t be so busy that she wouldn’t come to the airport to pick me. In fact she would leave everything just to make sure she was there for me.

The journey back home was done in silence as she wondered why

Diary of a MAD Woman - 20th March 2004

I am feeling very sleepy but i had to put down this entry. My day started well. I woke up, prayed, prepared breakfast for the family. I served my husband breakfast and he didn't eat. For the past four day he hadn't tasted anything i cooked since the N500 incident. This exposed another part of his personality i haven't witnessed before. I cant believe my husband would reject my food all because of that. I even returned the money i took from his wallet but i don't know whether he saw it or not. May be is should told him i returned the money. Right now i am so confused i don't know what to do.

He hasn't touched me for four days. Attempts to touch my husband while sleeping results in heavy rebukes. He even threatened to sleep in the sofa if i continued. Right now, i really need the warmth of his body, the feel of his

Diary of a MAD Woman - 3

Princess paced the room again for the third time. She was really getting nervous and apprehensive. She has looked for it everywhere and couldn't locate it. She had searched under the mattress, between the book rack on the table, in the drawers. She couldn't pin-point where next to search and besides she was careful not to leave the room scattered and messy.

She Stopped pacing and stood for a long time eyes facing the wall wall clock on the wall. She had five more minute to spend. She withdrew her gaze and decide to search the room once again but something caught her attention. She turned sharply and stared at the wall clock intently this time around and she laughed aloud excitedly. She had found it. She walked towards the clock with uncertainty, what if it isn't there she thought. She lifted the clock, turned it around, located the little hook used for hanging it and pressed hard on it expecting something to happen but nothing did. She pressed harder a second time and heard a faint sound as the compartment went open. She removed the hidden item and carefully placed it in her handbag.

She carefully placed the wall clock back and realized she had exhausted her time. It was time for her to go. She closed the room and was walking down the exit point when she heard a loud click on the door.
Alarm bells went off her head as she thought frantically the next step to take. She dashed into the kitchen and crouched behind the large freezer with her heart in her mouth

Why was he early today? she thought. Why did he suddenly come back this afternoon. She could hear their voices as he didn't come back alone, she could hear the distinct voice of female laughter and giggles as they made their way to the sitting room. She couldn't make her move now as she would be discovered. She would exercise a little patience, may be when they retire to the bedroom, she would make her move.

"get two champagne glasses and lets celebrate" Princess heard him tell her

Princess panicked and began to sweat. The glasses were kept in a shelve above the freezer, there was no way she wasn't going to be seen if she

Silent Nights

He stared at the four image before him a second time. He squinted his eyes to get a clearer view. A smile crossed his face as the images began to move, anticipation made him break out with sweat as he wiped it off his fore-head with the back of his left hand as he used his other hand to zoom the image before him. he relaxed to watch the events unfold before him.

The first image removed her blouse rather unceremoniously, she yawned and stretched as she turned her back to pick top shoving her arse up his face. He leaned forward to get a clearer view but couldn't because it was getting blurred. He cursed loudly kicking his foot against the wall and cursed more loudly in pains.She turned around like she was reading his mind and gave her naked breast a rub. The sight of her droopy breast was a slap to him, he had thought of seeing something more firm. now he knew better, he knew her secret. She wore no panties under her skirt and the sight of her pubic region gave him a jolt. He blinked his eyes repeatedly and stared again. What he saw was enough to make a real bush green

Having a CLITORIS: A Sin Or a Crime ....

Is Female Circumcision still practiced in this age and time? Despite cries and agitations for its abolishment, it is quite unfortunate that this babaric act is still practised by some communities in Nigeria.

Female Circumcision also known as Female Genital Cutting(FGC) or Female Genital Mutilation is the partial or total cutting away of the external female genitalia or the removal of the clitoris which is the most sensitive part of a woman's orifice. Female circumcision has been practised for centuries in parts of Africa generally as one of the element of a rite or passage preparing young girls for womanhood and often marriage.

There are so many superstitions surrounding the need for young girls to be circumcised. According to these communities where female circumcision is practised, it is done to arrest the interest and arousal  for sex by the women folk, some say an uncircumcised girl is not fertile

Ugly Dejavu

                                      I awoke amidst the heavy sounds of thunders and wild breeze threatening to shatter my windows. It was about to rain and it seems like it was going to be a heavy one. I quickly closed my windows, drew my curtains securely , switched off the standing fan and crawled back into bed covering myself with my heavy blanket. It was already getting chilly and the thought of a sweet sleep made me smile. A quick glance to my handset made me realize that I hadn't much time to enjoy my sleep, I had less than ninety minutes before I start preparing for service by 7am.

The loud knock on my door made me scurry to check who the caller was and before me was kunle my neighbour who came to call me for church. He had a surprise look on his face when he registered my unkempt

Diary of a MAD woman 2 - The beginning

Let me begin from where it all started.

“mama Kelechi, mama Kelechi” my husband shouted

(The name of my first child is Kelechi, we decide to name him that to thank God for his faithfulness in our lives, our marriage. I took in almost immediately after our wedding and the delivery went so smooth unlike tales I had heard from experienced mothers about first delivery being so painful and difficult. Truth be told, it was painful but in all, it went hitch free. So the name Kelechi says it all.

Ehen, back to my story – 

“mama Kelechi”!  my husband shouted for the third time

(I decide to ignore him as I had pleaded with him severally not to address me by that name, it made me look so old and it didn’t appeal to my ears.

While we were dating, he addressed me with so many sweet names. I was his baby, his sweetheart, his love and then the one I love so much “mimi”. You need to hear how he personalized my name, it  sends my heart racing and I usually forgave all wrongs he did to me when he uses his deep baritone voice to call me mimi. So why cant he continue nah, ah . Mtcheeeew).

Diary of a MAD Woman - 1

I was carried into my room by my husband. YES my Husband, sounds so good to call him that amidst giggles and laughter. The day had gone very well, it was a day of joy, my friends, family, loved ones all gathered around me as i said "YES I DO" to my boyfriend of seven years. I can vividly remember all that went down on the 15th of February 2000. It was my husbands idea that we married on St.Valentines day to cement the bond of love that we shared for seven years. It was a perfect idea to me as i loved my husband so deeply. I could remember the feathery kisses and love making on my wedding night. It has been so good, my husband put in so much effort to make it a wedding night to remember. I also remember the morning after, breakfast on bed served by my husband as i still lay asleep. Our wedding was so beautiful, people saw us as the perfect couple, we hardly fought or quarreled, everything  was going so smoothly for us or so  i thought.

Fast forward seven years later after our wedding, i was pregnant with my second child. Let me let it known that pregnancy isn't always pleasant to me, a lot of vomiting, swollen face and legs, pale complexion etc. I am always at my worse when i am pregnant, no one would like to tag his or her beautiful self ugly, but i can boldly tell you that during my pregnancies, i was very very very ugly. Yes i was ugly inside-out and i could do nothing to help myself out of
