THE BAG OF MONEY (A MUST READ)

Image
So eight years ago, while serving in the remote village of Aguja in Delta state, Francis my very good friend found a bag of money worth 400million naira in an uncompleted building while he was about to defecate. He picked it up and brought it to our house. I was shocked when I saw the money. That night we bolded the door four times and locked ourselves in the room with three padlocks. We could not sleep. Every knock scared us. We switched off our phones because every call scared us too. Francis and I took turns waking up at night to check the money just to make sure it was still there. And when we went out of the house, one person was left inside the house to keep an eye on the bag of money. For one week we waited to hear news of any missing money, but there was none. We watched the network news but heard nothing.  Francis and I took turns visiting the spot where he had picked the money, but no one seemed to be talking about it. After five weeks of waiting and sleepless...

HOW I SAVED MY COLLEAGUE FROM DEPRESSION

Image
My colleague at work was going through silent challenges and could not talk to anyone. I had noticed this when I discovered she was usually reserved and alone. She would sit down outside thinking and starring at a distance. This was going on for about a week. One day I approached her and asked her what the problem was. She told me she was fine. I assured her that she could trust me and talk to me about her challenges. But she insisted she was fine. Within that week, I became very close to her and would go to her and sit down with her to talk. At first, she wanted to be alone. But I wouldn't let her.  I told her some of my troubles and sought advice from her. This was in a bid to make her comfortable with me so she could share hers as well. When we had become very free, she told me about her challenges. It was painful to hear. It was about betrayal from a friend she trusted so much. And that betrayal had made her lose the only man she loved. A man whom she had planned to...

MY MUM USED MY LAST 1K TO BUY BREAD, SADINE, AND PEAK MILK

Image
So I just visited my mum 3days back.  This afternoon, my mum entered my room to ask me if I had any money on me. I had 1k somewhere around. But it was my last cash. I knew if I gave her that money, I was not going to get it back. So I told her that I didn't have any money on me. She didn't say anything to me. She just went out of the house. This evening, she returned with Bread, Tin milk, sardine, and malt. I stood up from the bed and approached her. I was glaring at the whole enjoyment she had bought. "Mummy where did you buy this enjoyment from?" The woman just glanced at me and started opening her bread. She opened sardine and started complaining about how the fish has reduced. She opened the malt and turned the full peak milk inside the malt. "Mummy where did you buy it now?" "From the mosque. Chidera I bought it from the mosque." I sat beside her and started licking my lips. My mother glanced at me and saw the way I was staring at ...

HEART BREAK ROAMS AS BEST FRIEND SET TO MARRY HER BEST FRIEND'S EXBOYFRIEND

Image
In 2020 she was heartbroken after a relationship of 6years ended. She sought solace in the arms of her childhood friend. During that period, she lived with her friend who fed and took care of her. Her friend advised her to stay away from Pat; the man who had just broken her heart.  She even called Pat and abused him on behalf of her friend, who couldn't throw harsh words at him, because of her soft-hearted nature and simplicity. A month later, this friend hooked her up with another guy, hoping she could move on. In the process, she became pregnant for that man after a one-night stand had occurred between them. Hence she refused to have an abortion, she kept the baby. She had lost hope in ever finding true love again, so she decided to live with her child. She is now seven months pregnant and has two more months to go. Three days ago, she received information that her best friend who now serves in Enugu state will be getting married to her ex-boyfriend, Pat.  They have both lef...

WHY YOU SHOULDN'T BE AFRAID OF LOOSING YOUR WOMAN

Image
So last night I decided to step out with my wife, hence there was no light at home to keep us company. She was clad in bum shots and a big polo. While strolling, she told me she wanted eating Akara . Hence I had some money on me, we headed for the woman selling Akara at the bus stop. My wife stood at the distance, while I joined the queue to buy Akara . While standing, the elderly woman frying Akara pointed behind me. "No be your wife be that? Another man the chyk her for you o." I turned and discovered the man was actually trying to get my wife's attention. I returned my gaze to the Akara without uttering a word. I wasn't looking worried about it. The Akara woman couldn't understand why another man would be trying to toast my woman and I wouldn't even react; I didn't even move a muscle. "Him go steal your wife from you o." She exclaimed as the guy kept making advances at my wife. I turned and my wife waved me and threw a kiss at me. I smiled a...

THE NAMIBIA VACATION

Image
Many years ago while I was working on my project topic "THE WARMNESS OF THE AFRICAN PEOPLE" I discovered it required me to travel to African countries so as to interview them, and also take live pictures of them too. I told my parents about it and they were ready to sponsor me to four African countries. Out of this four African countries, I visited one tribe that shocked me to my bones. I arrived in Namibia; northern Namibia to be precised, where I met with the people of Ovahimba and Ovazimba tribes in the Kunene and Omusati regions. I was a stranger who didn't know my left from right. I didn't even know how I wandered until I got into this rural area where I discovered women who didn't wear brazier. My first encounter was when I had stopped at a well, to ask for a drink. The woman who was drawing water out of the well, had red dreadlocks on her head. When she lifted her head to look at me, the first thing I sighted was her exposed breast. I immediately covered my...

MY PARENTS VISIT

Image
So last night it happened that my both parents who had come into Jos for a wedding, decided not to spend the night in a hotel room. Instead, they decided to pay me a visit at my house. It was a surprise visit. My wife was in the bathroom as at the time they arrived. I had only opened the door to welcome them in. I was very surprised to see them. "Where is your wife?" My mother whispered. "She is bathing." I replied as I led them in. I was just about calling my wife to inform her of my parents visit, when my mother stopped me and asked me not to inform her. "Don't call her. I want her to be surprised just as you were surprised. Let her come out and see us herself." My father chuckled.  While seated in the sitting room, my wife shouted from the toilet. "Honey…." "Yes baby." "Can you lick my nyash for love?" My father turned and glanced at me.  Usually in such situations, I will say something like "yes baby, ...
