      "body": "An old female neighbor of mine bought me lunch today, and while we were eating, Itohan called. She was really jealous.\n\n\n<center>![FB_IMG_1624469756332.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQaCfWBP5NysEM3hUK4F7MRb8TFBzrNH9SoewuCftNU6Q/FB_IMG_1624469756332.jpg)</center>\n\n\nRemember Itohan, the bold 15years old teenager I met while serving in Benin City  years ago? I made a post about her some days ago, and you guys said I should update you. I just pinned  the post now, for those who didn't read it then -- it's the first thing you'll see on my wall.\n\nShe called at exactly 4:30 pm, and I told her I was at the kilimanjaro situated at Otigba.\n\"Are you there with anyone?\" she asked.\n\"Yes Ito, an old neigbor is buying me lunch,\"  I told her.\n\n\"Is she a girl?\" she asked.\n\"Yes she is, \" I replied innocently.\nPrior to this day, we've had series of telephone conversations, since we reconnected in Enugu, and she kept saying \"I'll take you out once I finish my exams.\"\n\n\n<center>![FB_IMG_1624469463995.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdjU95kyHz6aBK9raRfhpjDhJ1PzWT8c9551ciTX1FBPa/FB_IMG_1624469463995.jpg)</center>\n\n\nI was overjoyed, seeing the manner with which she stretched the word \"exams\" -- the girl I groomed, is no longer  afraid of writing exams, and she even reminded me of the reading formula I gave her that time.\n\nI recall the saturday we were handling Mathematics, and she told me how angry she feels whenever her father says he won't support her going into modelling. \"You can still be a model, but please listen to your father, and go to school first -- you can even be modelling while going to school,\" I had told her.\n\nI would remind her of my musical ambitions, and that it didn't stop me from going to school. She would smile and say \"if Corper A says he's right, then maybe my papa dey right.\"\n\nSo, I was happy hearing her talk about how she wrote well in her papers, as a medical student. She still has more papers according to her.\n\n\"Corper A, you know I'm no longer 15 years old? I am 25years now, so start thinking of where I'll take you to after my papers,\" she screamed three days ago.\n\nSo, you could imagine how she felt hearing that I was eating out with someone today. \"Corper A, can I talk to her?\" she asked in a funny tone.\n\n\n<center>![FB_IMG_1624469469123.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSE5XkThuJZeDkGoTj8reTtdEMUdocvLvkLPC8XQH8eBk/FB_IMG_1624469469123.jpg)</center>\n\n\n\"Alright, but don't say anything funny,\"I replied, handing the phone to my neighbor.\nI placed it on loudspeaker, so I could hear what she was saying.\n\n\"Hello, my name is Itohan, and he probably hasn't told you about me.  Please make sure you don't fall in love with him, because I dey plan to do small something for him head.\"\n\nWe started laughing like mad people, and the people stealing glances at us, must have wondered what prompted such behaviour.\n\nItohan went on and on, trying to ensure that my neighbor was just there for the lunch😂😂 It was really laughable, yet emotional.\n\n\"Corper A, in fact can we see tomorrow?\" she asked.\n\"Let tomorrow come Ito,\" I replied.\nShe hasn't changed in some things, and she didn't speak much pidgin today. She took me down many memory lanes.\nEven when I got home today, she called  to say this:\n\"You know I love you right? You know you're safe with me right?\"\n\nI told her that I wanted to believe her, but sometimes afraid of love. At a point I told her I believed her.\nFew minutes ago, she called to just hear my voice, and I've been blushing since.🙈\n Remembering certain things now, I almost shed little tears. \n\nLike I said before: Some people come into our lives for us to improve them. I am happy with how serious she is with studies. \n\n\n<center>![FB_IMG_1624470136030.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZYusfvhsBwjJzRZq5xyAiZNJVBqVBnxEBFR6UqM7QBpD/FB_IMG_1624470136030.jpg)</center>\n\n\nLet me see what time holds for this reunion. I just know it's divine, even though I don't know where it's leading to.",

The neighbors said they became worried after 2days when they notice no one had left the house and yet, TV noise was heard in the room. \n\nTheir suspicion arose after the 10days, when they began to perceive some offensive odor coming from the house, prior to the 3days power shortage. They knocked but no one answered, so they called the police. When the police came, they broke in and saw her eating on the floor in the dark room, they asked her what was smelling and she said, pointing to the freezer; “my father”. Her father’s body was found half-decomposed in the freezer… her name was Barbra.\n\n\nThere was a fire outbreak in the Juvenile detention center, and the Government decided to send the kids to public schools around, and after staying in juvenile for 7 years, Barbra was being transferred to our school…\n\nI could remember the first day she came, one would have thought that a celebrity was visiting, all the students were outside, awaiting her arrival including me. I remember the look in her eyes when she stepped out of the patrol car, I was expecting her to be scared, but she wasn’t, she looked confident. She was hand-cuffed and had an ‘Inmate Locator’ tied around her left leg. Immediately she was un-cuffed, she looked around as if she was enjoying the view, she smiled sharply and went straight to her locker, then to her class which happened to be my class.\n\n\n<center>![FB_IMG_1623981178750.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWpN67g7y7m4eMoHDWndARSqV1ebpvf6HbktrAyQ5c2LS/FB_IMG_1623981178750.jpg)</center>\n\n\nThe atmosphere was awkward during the first lecture, she sat close to me and I was kind of jealous of her because all attention was on her, not on me today. The first class was mathematics, the teacher asked for a formula and no one knew the answer except me, as usual, I wrote it in my notebook and starred at it, but I couldn’t say it out loud for fear of being intimidated by other kids. Then, Barbra peeked into my notebook, rose her hand and answered the question. I looked at her aback, and she smiled at me… \n\nThings became more awkward during lunch break. As usual, I was eating alone, then she walked in, it was kind of difficult not to notice because she drags her foot on the ground while walking. Everyone quickly turned their gaze at her, she was holding a tray, but no one seemed to welcome her, then she looked over at my side, and I panicked. She then approached me and sat down beside me. Everywhere became quiet for a second, then, as if a time bomb exploded, they all roared a laughter. I was so ashamed, but she didn’t seem to notice, she did, but she didn’t care. I fixed my gaze at her, but she ignored me, then she suddenly dropped her fork, looked into my eyes and said;\n“WHAT?” \n\nDisgusted with myself, I scooted my chair to my desk and concentrated on my meal. This time, she was staring at me, she looked away as soon as I turned to look at her. I caught the quick flash of her grin before she looked away;\n“This is funny to you?” I asked rather sternly.\n\nShe didn’t answer me, she just concentrated on other kids that were staring at us, and then she took her fork, and stabbed the plate in an aggressive way, as if to remind them of her history. As soon as they saw this, fear ran through their faces and they quickly looked away. \n\nI lost my appetite immediately and walked out of the dinner. I went straight into the detention room and as usual, I sat down at the back seat and looked through the window, enjoying my view of the balcony. There they were, girls, making out with their boyfriends while some were smoking; I just loved their life, but that was the closest I could get. I didn’t notice when Barbra walked in behind me;\n“What are you looking at?” \n\n\n<center>![FB_IMG_1624052207110.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeHGCZPBV1HeGAikrLTXj3R5sQ1JUfBdPYd1dCuQXzTw8/FB_IMG_1624052207110.jpg)</center>\n\n\n\nI jumped out of my seat startled, I gave her a daring look; “are you following me?”\n“You seemed to be the only one who isn’t scared of me” she said almost laughing; “other kids think I might slit their throat” she added.\n\n“Do you blame them?” I asked purposely to get her angry\n“Ouch!” she said rather amused, “So, what are you looking at?” She looked outside the window; “ohh, poor thing! You seemed to be alone in this small world” she winked “I can see you enjoy their life style, why don’t you just walk up to them?” she looked at me from head to toe, the she chuckled; “ooh, you don’t stand a chance” then she started laughing.\nI on the other hand was burning with anger, I felt like hitting her so hard, but then I couldn’t I was too weak, the only thing I was permitted to hit was a fly, I was too weak to get angry. \n\n\n“I will take the lead” I said as I started towards the door\n“I can help you though” she said; “I can help you get what you want the most” then she said thoughtfully, “What could that be… Respect?”\n\n\n<center>![FB_IMG_1624018543069.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYigMWqt97oWYBcCNeLh81Hdjor2c5XDofLTH1oQbTSTJ/FB_IMG_1624018543069.jpg)</center>\n\n\nI stood, still. I wanted to go, but I couldn’t take another step, I wanted to tell her that I didn’t need the helper of a murderer, and that she could go to hell, but all that came out was; \n“Really?”…",

      "body": "So, you can consider this write up one of the early week write ups that I sincerely believe will help you live better if you implement the few things I'll share.\n\n\n<center>![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTniD8RaNzt7BMhDoSpGfNAE4oQNaszHaGXZLsUotn8Ja/image.png)</center>\n\n\nI understand life has been tough for most of us, to others, you've been living your best moments and that's totally fine.\nBut I want to narrow to this write up to a particular set of people. To you that has big dreams, great expectations from life, great feats to attend and most especially to you that has focused 100% of your time, energy and resources to get these things achieved.\n\nIf you were like me a couple of months back, I'd say I use to put off being happy. To be more specific, I mean tying my happiness to future achievements.\n\nYou'd hear me say things like \"when I have this, I'd do this,\" \"when I finally do this, happiness will come.\" And then I do these things and I realize that the happiness I thought would last for long is just temporary and to feel better, I'd have to attach it to something else.\n\nThis went on for years, mostly this year but I decided to reflect on my life and be honest with myself. I didn't get the happiness I planned in the future and I wasn't happy in the present either, so literally I'd feel empty a lot of times searching for the true meaning of life   you might want to laugh here.\n\nHonestly, I began to ask deep questions, read more books, talk to people and I realized I was merely existing, not living. Like I existed for freaking 22 years  thinking I was living.\n\nBut for the past two months, I altered my thinking and it changed my life. I began to live every single moment, whether things well going well or not, I'd be happy. This change in thinking caused me to value life more, do the things I can and when I can't, I mueeeve (present tense).\n\nIt taught me to value people more(obviously the ones that value me too) I sincerely do not have the energy to chase what's lost or not lost when it comes to human beings, I learned to handle rejection better. I have learned to handle love better. A couple of weeks I dreaded being rejected by people but now? Next please.\n\n\n<center>![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTH9wtLmYhwumfVgzeNKUHbGfa2xGzqJQoDXNkNq7wrnD/image.png)</center>\n\n\nTo crown it all, I began to worry less. Not to brag but I'd tell you that when it came to thinking of the past, present and future, I was good. Just bring your problems of life and I'd think about them for you, I was even thinking of starting a side business with my thinking prowess    but like someone who walked to the end of the tunnel and encountered the light, that light opened me to a lot of truths I ran away from. Why would I think of my past mistakes, like why??????? The past?? Never again.\n\nI mean it's ok to worry a bit about your present and take a stroll in your future once in a while but definitely not the past. You can learn from them and not dwell on them.\n\nI used to worry about things like: What if I don't be a good spouse, wife and mother? And then I'd freak out, what if my spouse doesn't love me enough? I would go to God's word but lately I realized God's word was the problem, I was. Too much thinking created a room in my mind and without failing, my mind made up stuffs that wouldn't even happen.\nI had to sit down and talk to myself. Me and an unloving spouse??? No way. I'm saying this with a full level of confidence. I'll be an amazing wife and mother and I know it. It took me months to come with peace with myself.\n\nThen to my career, for months now I have been writing for money and not writing as an art I love. I put away the art till when I make enough money but each day I realize money is volatile and I have accepted that I might not really make the kind of money I want and I'm cool with that.(It was a struggle to accept) and that is why I have decided to explore the art. If you begin to find my writing weird, well, that's on you because someone is gonna be living her best life and writing without holding back (Mark's accepted way and words though).\n\nI shared my story first, so you can get my point. I'm not saying be pessimistic or do not have expectations but what metric are you using to measure your happiness? For me it was mainly material stuffs, not like I do not want them, I do but if I do not have them, I'd still be happy.\n\nSee, your life is not complicated as you think, your thoughts and mind make them appear so.\nIf all you can do is drink water, please do so and be genuinely happy. Try not to measure your life with another person and say things like \"I can only be happy when I have what the other person has or out- succeed him or her, in the end you realize you lived a wasted life and there's no time machine, Hollywood sold that well and most of us bought it, I did actually.\n \nI know you won't like this question but I'll ask anywhere. What if you die tomorrow? God forbid right but what if? I know you are saying you can't die bla bla bla, you have not discovered purpose and all but what if you do?\nSee, everyone is meant to die, personally I cannot guarantee you of long life but I can guarantee death with my full chest. \n\n\n<center>![FB_IMG_1623050051641.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmacekJZ9BSjdY3XYdZVzukamKfdsNFVJod3undusRYQ87/FB_IMG_1623050051641.jpg)</center>\n\n\nIt was the moment I answered this question days back that I made up my mind about a lot of things.\nI'd love you to think of how you'd feel on the other side(I mean the side where we have ghosts in white and all) Just kidding  but think of it.\n\nWould you love to die as someone who procrastinated living and merely existed?\nWould you love to die as someone who believed everyone is just a scammer, scamming you of love, money, and every other thing?(these set of people need healing and genuine love, that's if their inability to trust will not send everyone away).\n\nWould you love to die as someone with a shitty relationship with your parents, friends, spouse and people around you? Maybe, they'll hire a mourner to stand at your grave.\n\nWould you love to die thinking Jesus Christ is not real?(Maybe on the other side you will find out the hard way and there's a promise that comes with the hard way ).\n\nWould you love to die without fulfilling purpose? Not knowing why you truly lived? (No, this isn't good).\nThe questions on this list are endless, there's a saying that says \"unf**k thyself\" and I'm adding \"uncomplicate your life.\" You need to. See, life isn't really what you think it is, it could be more or less depending on what you choose to see and make out of it.\n\nAsk your self tough questions, answer them honestly and please live every moment of your life. Why would you put off your happiness till you buy a car when you can be happy now or should I.....? Never mind.\n\nWhy do you put off your happiness till you are married when you can be happy now or haven't you heard that marriage has its ups and downs? What if you get married but realize you still do not feel happy, will you marry another? Just asking.\n\nWhy not enjoy the beginning of your business now and be genuinely happy for growing something than waiting till you get on the cover magazine of Forbes? What if you get to the top of the totem pole and you realize there's really nothing exciting about being up there. Worst of all, you no longer have time to do things like you did when you just began and you sulk in regrets for the rest of your long life.\n\nIf you are reading this, I need you to take time and breath. Inhale and exhale and look around yourself, maybe there is no rat race, your mind could have made it up the same way it tells you are a failure for not meeting your goals.\nOh please you ain't  if you were, what would you say of the lady that authored a work book on how to set and smash goals but couldn't meet up hers? Ultimate failure?   Well, I'm still breathing and I have accepted to tell myself the hard truths.\n\n\n<center>![FB_IMG_1623606512291.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXg8CYVVKGQkfFDfXY3XSveNWGNDq25ALVeACLfWKg29U/FB_IMG_1623606512291.jpg)</center>\n\n\nYou see what I'm sharing? It might take you years to free yourself from yourself made prison, at worst, you might not but if you read to this point, you need to do something about the kind and pattern of life you are living.\n\nSet priorities and stick to them, do things unafraid, improve your life as a whole. Ask yourself, would I die happy with the kind of life I'm living if I died tomorrow, next week or next year? Then I'd leave the rest to you.\n\nLast but not the least, do not tie your happiness to people. See people change! Oh yes they do. I got a subtle shock this year. Do. not! I repeat do. not tie your happiness to people. They will disappoint with a sprinkle of madness and you'll still have to go on. If you should, do so with wisdom. But make sure they are WORTH it, I do not know how you plan to measure your worth but make sure they are worth it.\n\nI hope this really helps you.",

      "body": "First off I would love to appreciate the 25 ladies that joined me yesterday in reaching out to the children in the villages. Truth be told, I never imagined such an amazing response. I feel loved already. We still need 75 more ladies to join us, nothing is too small for those children. Please don't say no.\n\n\n![207018628_2915879451968236_392884886122011697_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeKYFQEpaP9vHWuyhDJDr6BBHbh6AtAQQwMmadcFxWoyE/207018628_2915879451968236_392884886122011697_n.jpg)\n\n\nI have been struggling with this piece since yesterday. I spoke with my husband this morning and He gave me the go ahead to write on it. It's a personal experience for me. This is for us the ladies and I hope this means more to you as it has been for me.\n\nTruth is, you may never be right all the time. Hormones get in the way, emotions could even cloud your judgement and at that moment, trust me, scriptures could be so far away from you. You didn't do anything wrong, it's just that at that moment, you just can't explain yourself.\n\nSometimes everyone just irritates you, even your husband! You didn't mean to raise your voice but you did! You see him feel so bad yet those hormones just wouldn't let you rush to him to apologize. Halfway into the day, you feel a bit relieved but a lot of harm has been done! Am I alone or does it ring a bell?\n\nI've been there! I watched my husband stay quiet all through. I could see myriads of questions running through his mind. My husband isn't one that raises his voice or shouts, but his silence can kill you. I felt ashamed going to him, I felt I should have controlled myself better. I kept beating myself up, not knowing he had gone to the kitchen to make dinner.\nThe aroma of the food was so tempting, yet I held myself. I felt unworthy of his love, Just then he came knocking, saying dinner is ready! He teased me on how I had swallowed all the aroma and my cheeks had added weight and We laughed! I rushed to hug him and off to the food I went. The heaviness and guilt left me. He came knocking even when I felt unworthy! He reminds me of Jesus!\n\n\n![206607629_1827243700790861_7134991715920651581_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmT1gFqr6rmETA1dMXtAQLJAeMBduWkkHtJsDt44nXMF94/206607629_1827243700790861_7134991715920651581_n.jpg)\n\n\nAfter dinner, he explained that I hurt him but the Holy Spirit explained to him what happened. He helped him calm down. There and then I knew Abba heard me. When I was down and unable to face him, I asked the Holy Spirit to help me explain to him because he listens better to him and He did a perfect job.\n\nI don't know how all this would have played out if He wasn't Born again or didn't have the fear of God! That is when abuse and violence comes in. He can love you when all is going well, but how would he treat you when he has lost his job or contract? When you both work for the same boss, You both would be loyal to Him just so you can keep your job. Being on the same team is the best decision you can ever make. Team Jesus never fails!\n\nDear Worthy Woman,\nDon't be in a hurry! Get it right in marriage! Let Him be a lover of God who submits to the Holy Spirit. You need it! You are human and you are bound to make mistakes. Don't get me wrong, I am not promoting these mistakes. You will make them, you will learn from them, you will be better, It's a process called growth. But whilst growing, You will need someone who knows you are growing and is willing to help you become all you are made to be. He will scold you, Yes he will! he will correct you; Sometime he will squeeze his face and frown at your actions but He will do all this in love because He is a follower of Jesus. In his bid to correct you, He will not throw your nakedness to the social media. He will hide you in love. He will not punch sense into you but will pray them into you.\n\n\n![207230117_1878610245644599_4039218339262319203_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYkkhfv8cG4hEPw82xtkmzKveQuWCvTxCjBg9NHfKp1Mk/207230117_1878610245644599_4039218339262319203_n.jpg)\n\n\nFinally, Work on yourself! you cant be having mood swings everyday and talking back at him everyday. Allow the Holy Spirit to gain access into your heart. He will teach you all things! He will help you manage your temperament and become a better wife! Your humanity isn't an excuse, Grow up! I pray He teaches you to know that your days are numbered so you can make the best out of the ones left.\nTo my ladies, Marry Right!",

      "body": "\"He dey bother you\" He addressed Freda with pidgin English. Fire blazing in his eyes. His muscles propped up. I swallowed bile. Physically, he was more than double my size, tall and muscular. Staff dreaded him, let alone, students.\nFor a boy of nineteen, he was abnormally big. Age wise, he was quite too mature for our class. Our peers were usually between fifteen and seventeen years of age. We were in our final year of secondary school and this was his third year repeating the class. He only had the luxury of repeating this much because his folks were rich, else he would have been expelled. His father was a known politician infamous for thuggery and abuse of power.\n\n\n![FB_IMG_1622924684037.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPmgKWw8L41WDM34t22gYMGTdEpr3xukzPHZkGXvkcRK9/FB_IMG_1622924684037.jpg)\n\n\n\"I asked you a question\" his voice thundered. Students who were closely started clustering to witness, but as he turned in their direction, they scampered. Freda shook her head with dread, but as his gaze fixed on her, it turned into a nod.\nI panicked and swallowed bile again. By this time, Ahmed had already positioned behind me. \"Hehehe...so you want my gal, right? Bruno charged, his hand folding into a punch. \"Em, I, emm, no ooo, em\" I was no longer coherent. My eyes were moist, my palm moist, yes the paper in my palm; 'How do I make it varnish?'\n\nBruno reached for my jaw suddenly. His strong right hand clasping my face with force. The impact cutting across my neck and chin. His long finger nails dug into my skin and tore the first layer. I try to pull his hand away with my both hands, but my effort was futile. The next thing I knew, my two legs had left the ground with a sweeping kick by Ahmed from behind. I landed hard on the floor with my buttocks. Bruno raised his left leg to bring it down my groin but something paused his motion.\n\nHe brought his leg down gradually and picked up a piece of paper folded neatly and lying by my ruffled self. He unfolded and perused. When he was done he passed it to Ahmed and faced me with a scowl. He fixated on me and then at Freda(she was already whimpering dreadfully at a corner).He retrieved the paper from Ahmed and faced Freda. \"He wrote this, abi?\" She half shook her head and half nodded.\n\n\n![FB_IMG_1619612963088.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdjujoGnbWpsCTidiDmW8LBd99Qsc2ZMZEm17CYP1sQ7D/FB_IMG_1619612963088.jpg)\n\n\nStill seated languidly on the floor, I tried to look around to see if any staff or grown up was in sight. There was none. Even if they were, I wouldn't be surprised if they hid away. No one really wanted to meddle into Bruno's business. It was safe to say I was done.\n\nThe piece of paper landed on my laps. Bruno squatted to face me. \"Na you write this thing to give my babe?\" before I could respond, two dull slaps angled my face to be parallel with his. My teeth caught my inner lips in the process and I tasted blood.\n\nAt that moment my life was contemplating flashing before my eyes, I guess it decided it was too soon. Instead, my head started spinning, different thoughts cascading my mind. I had never gotten into trouble from my elementary school days, but now, just like that, I was swimming with sharks.\n\nThe proximity his face made with mine gave my nostrils unrestricted access to the stench of hemp and beer. He was obviously hooked on the combination.\n\n\"I dey follow you talk! Or you don tire for this school? I say na my babe you wri...\" Binging! Binging!! Binging!!! The school bell jingled indicating the end of break period. The sound had interrupted him, he was caught between drilling me further or disengaging before any staff appeared in the scene.\n\n\n![FB_IMG_1619597903682.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaVJ463B2s37ixQzsSa7QgfEkAsfuca3dJWYi9Pke87zA/FB_IMG_1619597903682.jpg)\n\n\nHe chose the later as he looked me straight in the eye, smiled cynically and poked a finger to my chest. Without any further word, he straightened, gestured to Ahmed with the slight tilt of his neck, then reached for Freda, pulling her by the hand as they made their way into the class.\n\nI already got his unspoken message; 'I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU' screamed through his gesture. My heart was pounding. I looked rough and dazed. I was beginning to attract several stares from the students returning to class from break. It was an unusual sight to see a student sitting on the floor all ruffled up close to a learning hall.\n\nEmbellished in ridicle and shamefacedness, I picked myself up with the quickest pace I could manage. Before I was completely up, I felt a hand steadying and assisting my quest. I turned to see Raymond, he must have witnessed the later part or maybe the entire fracas.\n\nWith my face kept down, I proceeded to brush off dirt and dust off my clothes and body. I couldn't afford to engage eye contact with anyone. I wasn't a fan of being on the spot neither was ridicle my pastime. Raymond continued his benevolence by helping with getting me brushed off. He kept saying \"please, try and appease Bruno fast. Please o, that guy is dangerous... And don't bother reporting to school authority, please, for your own good\".\n\nHe parted my back when he was done, I thanked him as he marched towards the class.\nI raised my head a bit to see if I was still a spectacle. Relief hugged me as I could only see few scores of students hurrying towards their respectively classes. No one paid me any further attention.\n\n\n![FB_IMG_1619606393770.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRgByk8q42qkD5nkBg5kYBERNcQcxeYrDjV5XrKEKG1VG/FB_IMG_1619606393770.jpg)\n\n\nI spat out the little blood that was residual in my mouth. I needed to get to the rest room to tidy up properly, I also needed to get my shirt well tucked in. But then I feared being caught in the restroom alone with Bruno and his gang, the thought alone froze me. I hung my head in thought momentarily, my gaze fell on the piece of paper that had earned me a slap. I stooped to pick it up, curious to know what was written in it.\n\n'I know you like me too. What is stopping you, him? Don't worry about that'\nMy mouth flew open as the words took meaning inside my brain. A combination of excitement, dread and uncertainty glided through me.\n\n\"Why are you outside? C'mon get in the class\" the authoritative tone of Mr Adams nullified every preexisting nuance as I jetted into the hall with no second thought.\n\nThe story continues... \nPlease, drop your comments as feedbacks will be appreciated.",

      "body": "Like a hunter, my eyes were on full vision. I swept the entire perimeter of the school field and playground from my inconspicuous position. The shrubs had grown so tall in front of the science laboratory and the molded artwork of a huge compass stood beside either of its stalks. And it was in-between one stalk and the artwork I had pitched, leaning against the base of the molded compass and blending with the fading colors unnoticed.\n\n\n![202131580_2883501478646937_6033802593310033547_n (1).jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWQvEG1wn6nULR8y1Fk3LKSrfaT79ddZ82SNLK2364pK7/202131580_2883501478646937_6033802593310033547_n%20(1).jpg)\n\n\nI stooped there, carefully scanning the open spaces and obscure corners I could manage to unconcealed from my position. And just when I was going to breathe easy and convince myself I wasn't a concern, I saw them. Freda was in their company. They didn't move casually, they moved like they had a mission. They were on the lookout. My heart started to race, the cool Harmattan breeze coursing through the air couldn't prevent the array of sweat forming on my body. Bruno, Mike and Ahmed were not boys to ruffle, they went for the 'kill'.\n\n'What mistake have I made' I repeatedly questioned myself. I have always fancied Freda but I had never let it show, I knew better until this afternoon. Bruno was the class biggest bully and by extension, the whole school's. Him and his screw always bragged about their gang activities. They were alleged members of a cult group, though theirs wasn't affiliated to the notorious confraternities propagating carnage across the city. They operated within the secondary school system and were not as lethal as the infamous ones.\n\nEveryone knew Bruno and Freda were an item. Although many rumors made the rounds that it wasn't a union of choice. A large portion of the students who made it their business had formed the opinion that it was borne of threat and coercion. But who would meddle? when the supposed victim had not sought help. Besides, it was nobody's battle to fight.\n\nUntil this afternoon, my admiration for Freda had always been from a distance. We had our moments. Sometimes it was in the exchanged glances, other times it would be the instinctive moment either of us could turn to witness that intensive stare(those stares were more from me, although she wasn't too far behind in keeping up). On some days I would dare to smile at her and she would oblige with hers or so I thought. Anything could look like a reciprocated gesture especially when it is perceived from a crush. That was our routine for about two years until this afternoon.\n\n\n![201217633_2883501448646940_2550583869111110205_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmT4PdsiZ22MDia485UGABCQEm8T8ED7dEbYhuZabSbzLs/201217633_2883501448646940_2550583869111110205_n.jpg)\n\n\nIt was during the midday break. Normally, I would spend better part of that period in the library sorting some new novel to read or returning the ones I had exhausted. I was a loner these days. I didn't mingle much, only when it was necessary. I didn't have any prominent friend. The only person I managed to bond with was Munachi and she had left the school. So my life in school had become a very predictable bore; class to library, back to class, then exit.\n\nBut this fateful afternoon, I didn't step out for break neither did I go to the library. I was caught up in one of those fantasies that had consolidated my introvertedness. I guess I had zoned out into my superhuman alter ego.\n\nWe had biology as the last class before the mid break. The biology instructor was usually too self-absorbed. She seemed to like the sound of her voice or maybe she admired her impeccable handwriting too much to notice who payed attention in her class. She would smile all through her sessions, explaining with enthusiasm and so much vibe without really checking if anyone was following. And she would just leave with that same smile on, when she was done. No statement made, no questions asked, she was one queer one.\n\nSo I guess I had left her to herself and I was in my own element; Soaring across skylines, beating up 'bad guys', rescuing people in distress and getting my hero's adulation. And I was in the middle of a rescue spree when a hand intercepted my vision.\n\n\n![201792489_2862631527310381_8583709713321642692_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmP4zrnFaivjHSNWYUroqTXYzMCF2smm4iLAP187EgdXh2/201792489_2862631527310381_8583709713321642692_n.jpg)\n\n\nIn one atmospheric spin, I was back to my vulnerable form. Biology instructor absent, the class scanty with occupants and then the shock; Freda was beside me. Could this be real? I shook my head and slapped my chin just incase I was still halfway-illusion.\n\nI opened my eye, full cycle and she was still there. She looked a bit confused. The same way I would too if I was the one watching me. Now convinced it was for real, I looked at her searchingly, trying to ask questions with my eyes as my mouth had gone on leave. My heart racing fast, the whiff of her cologne collaborated with my nerve to shut off my reasoning. She smelled delicious but not edible so.\n\n\"Are you just going to stare?\" her voice hit me. She looked at me intently, I could swore she bit her lower lip. And she spoke so quietly only I could hear. I instinctively looked around, other students were barely present. The few ones in the hall seemed to pay us no mind. \"Hi... Hi, sorry, Hello\" I puked some will power as I struggled to free my tongue from whatever had held it. My shivering right hand gestured for a handshake on its own, because my brain had not instructed it. I tried to withdraw it at the same time she squeezed it softly leaving a piece of paper in its hollow.\n\nMy gaze fell on the paper and then returned to her. She let me see her smile and then she was up and heading for the door, she didn't turn, not even for a second glance. Still bereft of reasoning I popped up from the chair like a zombie and picked the pace behind her.\n\nSelf awareness began resuming. Mental faculties reversing to full operation. I moved with suave and caught up with her just as she turned the corner away from the hall. \"please wait...\" I reached out for her arm. My hand had just made contact with her upper arm when I caught sight of Bruno a few steps away.\n\n\n![201336356_1189270128188463_7240405037886335741_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTDrnQjeC3JicHmwDguVAZZvSdUR8JpCQMKQ3TbD6m2H2/201336356_1189270128188463_7240405037886335741_n.jpg)\n\n\nOur eyes met momentarily. I was electrocuted in the moment. Freda didn't realize I was following behind so she had turned to see who had touched her. Seeing me in my frozen state, seeing what had frozen me, she froze as well. Bruno who was shadowed by Ahmed smiled sinisterly, as the duo closed up on us.\n\nEpisode 2 loading...",

      "body": "I saw a meme  in a group a week ago. And I have also seen it again somewhere, today. It's about a woman building a house for her parents while her family doesn't own one, and her husband sending her out of the house for doing so. So there is this debate going on about who is right or wrong. \n\n\n![145205399_3726537050760035_6445402456215541015_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWc1uTKqBvahXGMpfxA6jabQLNzhAuaThxKe1PLF135cv/145205399_3726537050760035_6445402456215541015_n.jpg)\n\n\nThere are so many issues going on right now that I want to write on, but I doubt there will be enough space on any platform to contain my thoughts on them.\n\n\nI'm particular about this topic because of how sacredly I view the institution of marriage. \nHere is my take on it...\n\nWarning: This comment is not for everyone. It's for only those with good sense of reasoning, and those who are willing to become thinkers that can unlearn to relearn. Mind you, it's a very lengthy comment.\n\nI'm not going to directly address the issue at hand to try to decipher who is right or wrong, instead I'll be addressing a very fundamental issue—which is our idea, perspective and orientation of the concept of marriage.\n\n\n![145001634_3726536790760061_6267308048479316555_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTfBJDQ12hi5bSxv6Lyb6qbbaRfFY5ap2d5nFxuZFNfbf/145001634_3726536790760061_6267308048479316555_n.jpg)\n\n\nIt's so unfortunate from the comments I have seen concerning this issue that most people do not know Jack about marriage or what it entails; unfortunately, married people inclusive. Some people unbelievably see their spouses as 'outsiders' and strangers. They'll be like 'him and his people', 'she and her people' Really? Are you sane? \n\nIncase you don't know, your spouse is your most immediate family. In fact, s/he is not only that but also part of you. You both are now one entity—not understanding this is the foundation of all of these kind of problems.\n\nIf you understand that your married partner is now part of you, in fact s/he is now a member of your body. Both of you are a part of a pair that is incomplete without the other, if you understand this, you will start to reason differently.\n\n\nHave you ever seen a person that treats one part of his/her body differently for the other part? Like for instance, someone would say 'this is the left side of my body, I'm going to fuck it up so badly, it will understand it isn't part of my life' would that not be outrageous and insane? \n\n\n![144774375_3726537947426612_1397671020029745604_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSCi8q9kcLMDQV16u5zc72sEmVWufb4RneFhqZoMXjeyi/144774375_3726537947426612_1397671020029745604_n.jpg)\n\n\nImagine one part of your body being treated as a stranger and an outsider, how will the whole body look like? Very deformed I must say. And unfortunately that's how most couples are: very deformed. \n\nListen well, until you understand that your partner is now more of your immediate family than your parents and siblings, you have no business getting married—cos you'll only be creating a dysfunctional home. \n\nNow if you understand that your spouse is an extension of you, you will not choose a spouse that do not share the same ideas and values with you. You will choose someone with similar values, principles and perspective to life. And if you do that, you will not be afraid to share your intentions, plans and actions with that person, because you reason alike, so you will automatically gravitate towards the same ideas; even if not immediately,  but eventually.\n\nIf that becomes the case, the above issue will not arise in the first place. If the man or the woman wants to build a house for their parents first, they will discuss it with their partner and give them reasons why. For instance, the man/woman can make his/her spouse understand that the parents in question is dependent on him/her and have sacrificed a lot to get them where they are, even sacrificed their chances of owning a house, just to give them the best training to ensure they become relevant. And now they want to bless their parents in return with a house before they build one for themselves. No reasonable partner will see that as being selfish. They will see it as a laudable sacrifice.\n\n\n![145527073_3726536904093383_7625764746389038645_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbs6sS7zA143Q3zkgTHfp643y5TUmNzvKtBzP1z6Qg2et/145527073_3726536904093383_7625764746389038645_n.jpg)\n\n\nKnowing your spouse is putting his/her parents comfort first, would make any reasonable person appreciate their partner more. You will see the partner as selfless and kind. Because s/he is denying him/herself that comfort as well.\nIt's when you don't see yourselves as part of each other, that's when you will start making an issue out of such laudable gesture.\n\nSome of us need to unlearn our idea of what marriage is and give ourselves fresh orientation. How you see your partner will reflect on how you treat them.\n\nNow, The question is: is your partner a part of you or is he/she an outsider/stranger?\nIs your partner your immediate family or is he/she just one necessary evil you have to include in your life for procreation sakes? And whom you will be too eager to dispose of if need be...? \n\nSomeone your share utmost intimacy with, you both have unrestricted access to each other's body. You lay in each others arms. You have even created lives together, but you still see each other as strangers. In your mind, he's that man from Nnewi, that man from Benue; in your mind, she's that woman from Delta, that girl from Ondo... Are you sane? \nPls, if you don't understand the concept of marriage, don't bother involving yourself in it. Save those who understand the meaning, a lifetime of stress and trauma. Or simply find the ones who share the same deformed ideas with you, so you both can be dysfunctional together. \n\n\nI would rather stay single than get involved with a partner who knows nothing about marriage. \nGod created marriage for two people to become one. Two persons becoming a complete whole, cos one cannot make a complete pair on its own.\n\nIt's like the way we have a pair of legs. Having a single leg is being deformed. So it is in marriage. The pair(man and woman) makes the complete whole.\n\nSo please, in choosing a spouse, find and be a suitable pair. Don't join yourself to someone you see as a stranger or who sees you as such. Let's change the narrative.",

      "body": "This evening, one of my neighbours' daughter rushed out of their apartment crying, because of a slap she received from her mother.\nShe is 16.\n\n\n![190670196_2963736157285798_7325209019919888211_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRsJ3swXD1gCj8oZRXmWdMxDzcof5svF8BgtxxVLcoBqh/190670196_2963736157285798_7325209019919888211_n.jpg)\n\n\nWhat was her crime?\nHer mother kept screaming that she ought to have served her brother very well. Usually, I've been hiding myself from much communication in this new environment. But since most people seem to like me in the compound, I decided to be a normal human by not m\n\ninding my business -- prevented her from landing the girl another slap.\n\"Mummy what is it?\"\n\"Chibu.. told her to get him water, and she said she's tired,\" the woman replied.\n\n\nI looked at the helpless girl and asked after her version of the issue that bred her predicament.\nWhile sauntering in tears, she made me understand how unfair it was for her brother to order her around, after she had stayed a long while in the kitchen cooking with their mother. I was made to understand that she serves this 18 years old brother of hers all the time. \n\n\n![183549560_524066488959387_2883778177605284375_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQnRReUFmCS4cSaJhUx2x69SEDFDVzipeiDzQLqTjmDxA/183549560_524066488959387_2883778177605284375_n.jpg)\n\n\nHe has gotten used to it, and has started feeling entitled.\nHe had told her to fill the water to the brim, and she begged him to understand that she was tired. This is the first time her service to him wasn't satisfactory -- she had satisfied him on other days.\n\n\nI was further furnished with the nonsense idea that her 18yrs old brother doesn't enter the kitchen. I wasn't okay with that development, so I had to let the woman understand my point. \n\n\nMind you; by the period she was crying, two other tenants came out to understand the cause of her predicament. They didn't like the whole development, and were in support of denouncing the boy's attitude -- he shouldn't feel entitled to that service.\n\n\n\"Mummy, we had cooking roster when we were small,\" I began.\nI made her understand the need to make her two boys part of the kitchen too.\n\"Stop stressing this little girl -- iga emekwa ya ka onwe inferiority complex(you'll build up the spirit of inferiority complex in her) without knowing.\"\n\n\nI made her understand that her sons will need those kitchen skills someday, even if not in her house. \nI used an example from my NYSC days in Benin. My flat mate and fellow Youth Corper would send his girlfriend to market, because he doesn't even know the price of tomatoes.She buys everything for him, and cooks for him. He kept screaming of how his allowe finishes before second week of the month.\n\n\n![184168999_524066152292754_5447692051919648914_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTR3dWTC8Q9Jqigkeijaw7KdtLkqdpirazzErZAM5ybQp/184168999_524066152292754_5447692051919648914_n.jpg)\n\n\nI would cook premium Egusi soup with 1500, while his girlfriend was fond of cooking same soup with 6k in 2011. He would wonder how my soup was always tasting far better than what he was eating. I fought myself from telling him that she was even doubling the price of some of the condiments. I couldn't do that type of Amebo.\n\n\nOnly told him when their relationship was no more -- his lagging in supply of funds made her leave, so I saw it as an opportunity to open his eyes. Guy man learnt how to cook Egusi soup and Vegetable before NYSC finished.\nI was happy everyone laughed as I narrated the story. I made the woman's son understand the importance of cooking food for himself in future, especially when you can't afford a chef.\n\n\nThe woman apologized to her daughter, because everyone counseled her on the disadvantages of raising kids like that.\nA friend had similar experience with her parents years ago, and I was shocked to notice that some parents are still of this primitive school of thought in 2021.\n\n\n![184633885_524066785626024_1708750701389615408_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaWATg1scQM3azsABBzHGKC9Mm55MYdDPmiDp3MGsfTyt/184633885_524066785626024_1708750701389615408_n.jpg)\n\n\nDear Parents, the next generation of good men and women are under your wings.\nDon't let them become like the current set of people causing menace to the society.",
