I am not saying that, what women don’t know is that they have had all the power since 19ogogoro. You think that if I do anything without telling my wife I will eat in the house that day?

“Do you have anyone to call back home… family or friend?” Mary said to Biola from across the sitting room. Biola looked up at her for a few seconds and shook her head then went back to fondling with the small bottle Madame Deloris gave to her

“Mr. Isaac, you are under arrest for the murder of Bishop Nnaemeka Edison Chukwudozie…” Dele recited his rights to him while Inspector Onu handcuffed him. The entire church was filled with confusion, no one saw it coming; Isaac the sweetheart of Christian Peoples’ Ministry was capable of murder?

So, does that mean that I am the problem? I didn’t ask those guys to want me but they did and literally did not want to leave me alone. Every time I thought it was over, one of them would show up again with drama.

What! Two million naira to release a police inspector? So what you are saying is that Nigerian kidnappers are more powerful than the Nigerian police

I chose Duo as our meeting place because I hadn’t been there in a while plus I missed their shrimp. Max was already there before I arrived; it was nice seeing him again after all that drama but the gods of drama were not done with me yet because Tobe walked in. When I saw him, I thought that he was going to walk past us but he walked straight to our table; his eyes on Max. Max noticed Tobe looking at him as he was going to kill him so he asked “can I help you?” and Tobe was like “yes you can, you can tell me what you are doing with my girlfriend”.

Okay, if police and ICPC fight general crime; doesn’t general crime also include financial crime? Isn’t that why SARS a department in police is looking for yahoo yahoo boys?

“Tell me you don’t love me anymore!!! Say it Greg!!! Say it to my face!!! Look into my eyes and tell me everything we had was a lie!” Biola screamed at the top of her lungs, Greg looked at her with the same cold look he had on the last time she saw him

“I’m going to kill him! I’m going to kill him and everyone he loves” Isaac was furious; he couldn’t believe what Gina had just confessed to him. He headed towards the door but she stopped him. They were in a hospital room where she had just had a hysterectomy; a surgery to remove her uterus because of complications from a miscarriage.

I took a minute to catch my breath and wrap my head around what had happened but just as I turned to walk back to the theater there he was. Tobe. He had seen everything that happened.

Can you remember when the government told us to stop eating kpomo because it is also used to make leather and it should be preserved for such?

“Nothing is wrong with you. You are perfect” he looked into my eyes and kissed me; a kiss that took the wind from under me. If I was standing I think my knees would have given me way to fall to the ground. The kiss was so mesmerizing that we couldn’t talk after. We just sat there in silence basking in each other’s presence.

See oo. The Nigerian National Scrabble team won the first position in the world scrabble game

Her eyes begged him for mercy but he had none to give, so her heart prayed hard to the God that she came there to find but there was no answer. She was left to fight a losing battle. A battle that left her violated and debased, feeling worthless and mortified because of the decision she made that morning to go to church.

People say that when you have a good number of suitors, it makes you feel attractive. I get a lot of attention from men and sometimes women and at the moment I have three guys fighting for my attention but I do not feel attractive, or confidence. Do you want to know what I feel? Confusion and lack of confidence, I am starting to realize that I feel the most sexy or attractive when I am confident in the decisions that I make; which is not the case at the moment.

The Onitsha fire outbreak

I begged him and told him that my boss forced me to go out with Abdul, so that he could talk to his father to bring more business for the bank. I even went on to tell him how he was the one I wanted to be with and no one else but he did not believe me. The next words out of his mouth were shocking

Egbon, you can say that again. You no see news one time wey scientist talk say Nigeria is one of the happiest countries in the world and that happiness dey for our gene.

Bishop an influential person in the country and thereby giving him a lot of power. Power to demand and control, power to accept and refuse, power to build and destroy.

When she attempted to wipe them away, her eyes caught Greg looking at her from a near distance. The blood in her body started to evaporate, she felt like the life in her was slowly slipping away and Greg was her only source of life.

“This is it” I thought “He is going to come over to my table and say hi” But he didn’t. He turned his face away without waving or nodding or even recognizing that I am someone that deserves to be greeted.
