I went to minister to man in Lagos today
He was a ritualist and had been doing rituals for many years
He said the rituals he does is for long life (not for money) He said he was born with sickle cell anemia and was not supposed to live long but he was the only son of his father

So his father went all out looking for a way to preserve his life
He said after years of searching, his father found something potent
An incantation that would invoke a spirit into him to make him live longer than the thirty-three years predicted for him through divination

All he was expected to do was have sex with a lady, wipe her with an handkerchief after they were done (with his semen dripping out of her) and then he will do what he was told to do and he will live for another month or two
The lady he slept with will not run mad or die but she

If you're a believer, there are certain things that will naturally never appeal to you
You simply cannot have a taste for them
One of them is mocking or denigrating a human being regardless of your take on him
I know the Americans do politics in a dirty and morbid way but they

can never be the standard by which believers behave
Decency is a norm for us, we are the ones who cover the nakedness of others regardless of their conduct, religion or affiliation
I saw a video a few days ago, of a man whose clothes were soaked and I saw the comments posted by

many
For what?
For retweets and likes?
Oh, it is "politics", that is not a good excuse
Learn from the scriptures how a man of honour and dignity conducts himself or herself even in the face of persecution and danger
Look at a man like David, a man who was not filled with the Holy

In her opinion, beauty wasn’t really an asset to the ladies in their family
They were all exceptionally beautiful but they found themselves caught in the harsh reality of tradition, culture and religion
Her grandfather was a chieftain in a particular religion
They were from the

north and that meant their destiny as women was totally under the control of the men in the family
Beauty became a bargaining chip for relevance, power brokerage, political affiliation, strengthening old relationships or forging new ones
Her sisters were given to older men as

Second, third and fourth wives respectively
They were educated but not expected to do anything with it other than mind the home
She wanted more but there was no clear cut path to it
She studied in America but it was all for show, to increase her value
In terms of who marries who!

He was working in the oil sector
She was working in the entertainment sector
He was an engineer with one of the oil companies
She was a model, a rare beauty
They met on valentines day
She came to Nigeria from Canada to heal from a heartbreak
He took himself out to the club to

some fun
He was not interested in anything serious until he saw her
She was seated at a table by herself, doing nothing
He simply couldn't take his eyes off her
Something about her struck him like lightening
It arrested his gaze and bedazzled his mind
He found himself gravitating

towards her subconsciously
He checked himself when he was a few feet away from her
She looked like one of those girls with "complicated" written all over them
He was not looking to get into a relationship at that time
He would love to meet a lady to chat with and perhaps even

The king became too frail to move about
They even had to get a young maiden to keep him warm at night
And he was only 70 years old
A man who was once so full of life was fast ebbing away
The smart move was for him to choose his successor
They all waited with bated breathe to see

the king's choice
One thing was certain, his successor would be one of his sons
The crown prince had been tragically slaughtered a few years ago
The one who killed the crown prince had also been killed after he usurped the throne but failed to win the battle against the king's

mighty men
The next in line was Adonijah
He was the obvious choice at that moment in time
The only objection against his ascension would be his ancestry
Hews would rather have a King with a pure bloodline
Adonijah's mother was from Geshur
Gashur was a tiny kingdom that paid

My grandmother is a trader, a very popular, rich and well known one in our home town
She sells a lot of things (food stuff, charcoal, sponge, pepper etc)
Naturally, rats hover around her stores to feed and as a result she got some cats.
These cats are very useful and friendly,

I got to love cats as a result of my relationship with my grandmother.
Cats like people are of different sorts, some are homely and nice and some others are criminals.
One of the cats happened to be a criminal, it is black and very notorious
If my grandmother wanted to cook fish,

This cat will wait until she finished cutting the fish and cleaning it and then it would jump down like a whirlwind and carry the entire fish and the polythene bag holding it.
By the time my grandmother starts shouting “Ole, Ole” meaning thief, thief
This car would have scaled
