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

Mute Voices

For all those who cannot speak and even if they speak,cannot be heard and even if they can be heard will not be heard and if they will be heard will not be listened to.

For all those who have had the microphones taken from them,for all those who have had the spotlight stolen from them and the stages snatched from under their feet.

For all those who cannot be seen because the spotlight has left them.
How much do you know of silence's true feelings?Have you ever stopped to listen to the heartbeat of the dumb?

Listen,there's a great craving in their pulses;longing to burst forth,longing to be heard,longing to be noticed and talked back at.The unprivileged,the poor,the uneducated,the unqualified..look around you,they're everywhere.Hundreds are condemned and written off because their appeal never reached that table and even if it did,it was written off as a nobody's appeal.With the gavel,life's are slammed 6 feet beneath the ground in our law courts,the innocent?Because the poor have no adequate representation and they can't even defend themselves.

You've become like a god,u give life and condemn with your mouth as u chose,you think have arrived.Look around u,they're everywhere..how many have you shown the light to walk in the dark?

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
