He had a babe once, they met at a fellowship programme when he was an undergraduate
He was in his final year.
Their fellowships was hosting their church convention and he was the one tasked with the duty of organizing the event. She was the secretary of the conference. He always
believed he was a smart guy, a wise guy. Somehow they started dating. He couldn’t explain it how. He found her in his space throughout the planning process, she was easy to talk to and she was kindhearted. One day, he went to see her in her school and she said "The first day i
set my eyes on you, i told myself i was going to be your girlfriend. I just knew it had to be and i made it happen. She was 20 years old, she was so proud of herself that she didn't know when she said it. His ego couldn't take it. At that time, it felt too much like he was a
passenger in her taxi and she was driving him everywhere she wanted. He walked out of the relationship that same day. He just logged out. When the fellow Christians around them came to ask him why he wasn't pressing on with the relationship, he couldn't give an excuse
She was the
victim and he was the wicked brother. he couldn't even quote one word that she said out of place except for her declaration of victory that fateful night. He was the one that asked her out, she even played hard to get while he thought he was running the show
It was all a facade
He had to give it to her.
She was very good and he was played. It was subtle conditioning.
He was controlled without knowing he was being controlled and apart from knowing you have acted against your better judgement, you would assume you did so voluntarily not knowing you had
been had.
Ps: As we approach this Valentine’s Day celebration with feverish excitement, ask yourself if you’re in this relationships for self or for the other party
If he or she didn’t have anything to give you but kind words, will that be enough?
Is the one you call Love enough?
She didn't see that far into the future when she decided to pitch her tent with the rich but married engineer
She was 24
Young, plump, and beautiful
She had tried dating young single guys but for her, it seems they were all bones and no flesh
They were unable to offer anything
of value apart from empty words and instant gratification in form of sex and infidelity
The three guys she had dated since she was 16 all cheated on her and practically used and dumped her
The first one, the one she would call her first love got her brain so tangled up that she
stole her mother's money for him and allowed him to do all sorts to her in the name of love
When she caught him cheating, she looked the other way because she didn't want to break up with him and be alone
It took her two years to get the message
She was a fool and he was milking
She started the creche right after her NYSC
It had always been her life goal to own one
She loved babies and when she was in
secondary school, her mother ran a creche
Her mother was a matron with the government
hospital
Her mother also took maternity cases at home
especially
cases involving members of her father's church
Her mother's creche was a side hussle
It was located at the second sitting room of
her father's mansion
A house built to impress the world but was found
to be too big for the family
Too many rooms were unfurnished and unoccupied
this was primarily because her father lost his banking job before completing the building and they had to move in
before their rent expired
Because her father married two wives, one wing was built for each wife and her children
To present a front of equality and keep the families
I saw the greatest of all injustice earlier this year
It happened in a nation where many of us assumed such an injustice could never happen
It happened right at the time I had assumed that due to the advancement in technology and the "All Eyes on Me" position of the nation
concerned in global affairs that such can never happen
I was wrong.
It happened and nobody could do anything about it, not even the fact that the victim was occupying an office deemed to be the most powerful in the world.
Power, true power works from behind the throne. For many
years the balance of power in the world was controlled by a few faceless people who will back someone bold enough to step into the limelight as long as such did their bidding
Even presidents have sponsors, constituents, and organizations they must remain loyal to if they are to
She had always known her husband was susceptible to negative influence
She was 18 when she met him
He was 24
She was an undergraduate at the University of Lagos
He was a post-graduate student
They met at a friend's birthday party
He came after her with everything he had
She liked
him and was convinced his attention was for real
He wanted to marry her immediately
She would have married him gladly but for a conversation, she had with her parents on a Saturday morning in which she stylishly asked them what they think of her getting married and her mother
said she must not talk about marriage until she was at least 21
So she told him what her parents said
He was disappointed
She assured him that courting for two or three years was not out of place
He agreed reluctantly that day but it was the beginning of six months of hell
The
Last week, I saw my grandmother
I was supposed to collect some cash to give her but the queue at the ATM was quite long
So I decided I’d transfer the cash gift to her account
After I had greeted her and had some chit chat, I transferred 50k
The bank app said “unsuccessful” so I
Transferred another 50k
This time the app said “successful”
Suddenly I got the alert
Both transfers had gone through
Grandma got 100k
I said “Maami, I have credited your account with 100k
My grandmother smiled and hugged me, she began to call me by my names, she prayed and prayed
Somewhere in my heart I was feeling the pinch
If I could I would have told her to give me 50k back but I couldn’t
My intention was to give her 50K
But she prayed a prayer of more than 100k worth for me
This morning, I asked the Lord to help me regarding a project we were doing
5 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” 3 But no one in
heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. 4 I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. 5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of
David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the
