When Bolanle and I were at the mall I saw children telling santa what they wanted for Christmas, I should have told him what I wanted for Christmas. I should have told him that all I wanted for Christmas was Abdul.

My goodness, I WAS JEALOUS… I have never been this jealous of someone because of man like this in my life. I was swelling with jealousy; any more than that I would have started flying like a hot air balloon.

Seyi, a man she could not forget would become more significant in her future than she could ever imagine; a future she could never have control over because had sold it to Madame Deloris for beauty.

The election was conducted peacefully and the winner was announced. It was Abel Egwurube; but Abel was not happy about it. How could he be happy to take something away from Rita, something that he knew she wanted so badly? In the almost twenty years that Abel has known Rita, all that he has felt for her was love. Yes Abel was crazy in love with Rita and was ready to give her the world if she let him… the only thing that stood in his way all these years was the bastard, Bishop Chukwu.

“That boy loves you and from what I saw the day he came around; you are also in love with him. So sit down there and be deceiving yourself that you are friends until he marries someone else” she entered her bed room and shut the door. End of discussion

For every good news there are four bad news about this country. Okay, see now. Kano government is saying that it will not adhere to court ruling that the additional emirs created are not valid

“I know that it is Abdul but does he know that you are in love with him?” she questioned. Her question took me aback, where did she get the confidence to ask me such questions? “I think he does, they both know that they feel something for each other” Lota answered. “Are you kidding me?” I thought, since when did my love life become a group discussion for them without my permission?

“Biola… Biola BIola” Efe called softly as she walked into Biola’s apartment, the front door was unlocked, the CD player was playing a sad song on repeat; Efe walked in slowly until she saw Biola lying on the ground and quickly rushed to her. “Biola!!” she screamed. She was inundated with fear, “oh no!!!” she mentally confirmed that Biola had taken her life “Biola!!” she screamed harder, while shaking Biola’s unresponsive body she viciously searched her handbag for her phone.

a few steps away from Rebecca’s front door, Onu dialed his phone. “She has nothing, I have checked” he said into the phone “Okay, thank you. You are indeed a brother” the voice on the other side replied “I told you that I will protect you no matter what. You did us both a favour when you killed that useless Bishop. Nothing will happen to you” Onu promised. A promised he made to Bishop Chukwu’s murderer; a promise we was going to keep at all cost.

Lota did everything to get her out of the house including making her shower and drink coffee. She finally got to my house and she was pleasantly surprised by the party. Everything suddenly became okay between her and Jude, it looked like they had made up; I guess she thought that he also had something to do with her surprise birthday party. Everyone was having a good time when Jude tried to get our attention because he had an announcement to make. We gave him the attention oo, just for him to give a speech appreciate Ashezi and before we knew what was going on; he was on one bended knee

Do you need to ask me? Abi you should be asking me if I was able to differentiate between that match and Atlanta 1996. You no see as the match come dey look like old match? The picture quality was very poor

She told us that she engaged in a threesome with him because it was what he wanted for his thirtieth birthday, she confessed to us that most weekends when we did not see her she was at his mother’s house cooking and cleaning including mother’s day; she also told us how almost everything she did was to please him including what she wore and her hairstyle

Mazi, why you dey talk as if you no dey this country? You never hear say government don ban keke?

As she swallowed she felt it burn her throat and stomach, the burn settled in her body and increased rapidly. Within a minute her insides were on fire and she was in indescribable pain. She struggled to reach her phone and call for help but she couldn’t move; she lay on the ground groaning with blood dripping from her mouth. The portion was poison and it was going to kill her if she let it.

. On their way towards the exit, Nkechi walked in front of Rita and just before she left the edge of the roof Rita pushed her off the rooftop and she fell to her death. Rita invited her for a meeting alright but it wasn’t to offer care and support.

He turned alright, when he did; he came straight to our table with wrath bubbling in his eyes “you fucking bitch! You destroyed my relationship just because I injured your leg. You told her to break up with me. Watch your back” he roared and before I could say anything, he was gone.

How a whole Fashola go talk that kind nonsense, the Ajeokuta road wey I pass as I go Kaduna last week na dream?. Mazi, that road no be here oo

He tried to calm her down but she was not having it. You won’t believe what she did next. This lady took his food and drink from their table to mine and was like “he is all yours”. Everyone in the restaurant was looking at me like a homewrecker; I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. So I stood up to leave but it was very hard because she pushed him over my table and it crumbled on my leg.
