      "body": "...In the preceding instance, Moyo couldn’t believe she had done what she just did. It was as if a spell had controlled her actions. She wished she could take back the last 80 seconds, but there was no undo in real life. As she tried to construe the rationale behind her weird action, she stole another glance at Taj. Their eyes met and a sudden feel of contentment hugged her. Instantly she became grateful she had given in to her impulse. Since the young man was apparently too timid and shy to speak to her; he was damn too good looking not to get any help from her.\n\n\n<center>![FB_IMG_1626736020417.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfGuEWgghMAy4ZT7p7CXk7YzqJiCLrXekyiqabb1BgFi8/FB_IMG_1626736020417.jpg)</center>\n\n\nQuite frankly, since Moyo matured into adolescence, none of the numerous advances she had gotten from several male folks had appealed to her. What she desired was different from what they exuded. But in recent times, her hormones and emotions had been exerting a great deal of pressure on her and it was only a matter of time before she succumbed to it, whether or not her fantasized ‘ideal male’ showed up. By natural order, she was at that phase of her life when the desire for affection and romance were at the core of her cravings. And for the first time since those desires got awakened, here was someone that appealed to its indulgence. Now, all she had to do was play her part to make sure not even his timidity and apparent lack of ‘spine’ interjects. \n\n\nThe BRT bus had gotten to its drop point and passengers were beginning to file out in droves. The random exodus was dotted by shoves and pulls as the passengers hurried out of the vehicle. Their frantic mode of evacuation was probably spurred by their quest to make up for all the time they had lost in traffic. Everyone was moving out except Taj who just sat still, shifting his gaze between the cellphone in his hands and the pretty girl who had nullified his mission. \n\n\n\n<center>![FB_IMG_1626736029014.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeQKLwFbrZpfruYr3bsmYcRxfSjpwZxHtag5LtywjwFxd/FB_IMG_1626736029014.jpg)</center>\n\n\nHe watched as she made her way towards the exit until she turned and waved at him before disappearing out of sight. \nSuddenly, his wit returned which was quickly followed by dread. The hairs on his body stood, saliva emptied from his throat as a hot sensation flooded him from inside out. “What just happened” he exclaimed in Arabic. No! He was a tough one, a soldier, someone driven by purpose, he asserted himself. What kind of spell did the young lady cast on him, he pondered. He was sure without doubt that she had enchanted him. \n\n\nHe had lived celibate throughout his adolescence and still retaining the status even as a young adult. He had seen and stayed around many beautiful ladies and had never spared a thought to stray or give in to their seductions. He had learnt early to subdue his emotions and sexual urges. Worldly passions and lusts did not appeal to him as there was a greater prize ahead. No earthly pleasure could possibly rival owning 72 virgins and a room in paradise. So, what must have frozen him while the lady pulled her acts? His mind struggled to find an answer.\n\n\n<center>![FB_IMG_1626736011610.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYAhS5i9WJqtdS4atFAGfcJySVPyymL5NYDNFXWaJjoLN/FB_IMG_1626736011610.jpg)</center>\n\n \nHe had failed. He had not carried out his assignment. “Have mercy on me merciful Allah” he moaned from within. And yes, Sheik Abdul! He shivered as the name popped in his thoughts. The sheik will be furious and understandably disappointed in him. They had put in so much to ensure the mission was a success. Realizing he was the only person left in the bus, he sprang up to his feet. His action had somehow coincided with the prompting from the bus driver who had just sounded out some words to him through the PAS (public Address System). Taj hurried out of the bus with a sense of uncertainty weighing heavily on him.\n\n\nNow outside the bus, Taj found himself meshed amongst the sea of people distributed unevenly around the terminal. The first sight that greeted him was a group of indecently dressed ladies chattering away some vulgarities. Some distance away, a couple of catholic nuns who were about boarding one of the buses in the terminal caught his attention. As he beheld the crowd, a thought flashed through his mind. These were all infidels and there was still a chance he had not failed, he reasoned. \n\n\nThe improvised device was still strapped to his chest and the code to trigger it was just a cellphone dial away. He reached for the cellphone, entered the trigger code and put his finger to dial when a nudge on him from behind flipped the cellphone unto the floor. Without hesitation he stooped to pick up the cellphone, totally ignoring the bloke who had nudged him as he tried to apologize. The second his fingers touched the phone, a loud bang echoed in the air followed by the shattering of the glass window of the BRT bus that was stationed beside the exact point Taj had stood...\n\n\nThe story continues",

      "body": "Let me, from what happened in Lagos, paint a picture of what will soon start happening in Nigeria. I had brought out my writing pad and fired up my laptop this morning to continue the Mmasinachi story I’m doing but my people say, ‘Afu ihe ka ubi e lee oba.’\n\n\n<center>![FB_IMG_1624831989115.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXwhXQGzbo19nHRhL9v8arjbT6a5mMfKCMBGdMmzYsV2L/FB_IMG_1624831989115.jpg)</center>\n\n\nLet’s, briefly, using Lagos as a case study talk about what we should expect in Nigeria soon.\nListening to the governor of Lagos last night tell his people to prepare for a total lock-down of markets, clubs and other businesses, I asked myself, ‘Why are our leaders negative copycats?” The word negative like I heard recently on radio is the most wonderful result one gets when he/she test for HIV, Covid-19 or other dreaded diseases but it’s not a cheering news to woman who go for pregnancy test. \n\nBy the way, my heart goes out to woman all over the world particular those who are still within their right to bear children; my heart goes out to you because for safety reason, I am tempted to believe that the activity in the other room that give rise to babies has reduced. Anyway, what do I know? I’m not yet married. \n\n\nOf course, I don’t need to be a governor to know that Babajide Sanwo Olu sounded really ‘stupid’ on the television last night. Before you jump into the conclusion of thinking he’s a stupid man, I want you to note that the first stupid I wrote is in inverted commas. Meaning, he’s not really stupid. Trust me, this is not the best time to be a president or a governor. \n\n\n<center>![FB_IMG_1624832004573.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaspyZcbJZxkdhpL7aseT9zKX6jroNKSUKjCD8okz7zUU/FB_IMG_1624832004573.jpg)</center>\n\n\nYes, he sounded stupid because after hearing him talk about a lockdown, I didn’t hear him talk about what the government would do to make the lives of common Lagosians better____ palliative. You’re asking these people to leave the street where they earn their living without giving them a lifeline. Does the governor know that there a people whose daily hope of food is from the five hundred they make daily on the street? Anyways, what do they know, most of them didn’t grow up on the street. \n\n\nOne of the rule of the street is to try and survive ‘any which way.’ I even think is the universal rule of life. Ever heard of ‘The survival of the fittest? Those days in secondary school one of my classmate calls it Survival of the ‘fightest.’ For me, that expression means doing everything you can to survival. And because these street boys/girls would be cut off from their means of survival (the paltry sum they make everyday) and because they have survival instinct in them, they are going to move to the house of their neighbours to steal by whatever means they can, including the use of toy and real guns.\n\n\n<center>![FB_IMG_1624831997408.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSXLSa9RHbUYum7MisbMPyL8NgRhHmD9tVtGM7rCxV338/FB_IMG_1624831997408.jpg)</center>\n\n\n\nUnfortunately, we have a government that is a poor copycat. How would you copy the act of shutdown from other countries without going further to copy the incentives they give to their people while they’re on shutdown? The painful truth is that other negative effect this would have on Lagosians is that the prices of things, particularly food, will skyrocket. It’s unfortunately true that Nigeria is a failed state! Imagine ordinary hand sanitize that used to sell between five hundred and eight hundred naira is now two thousand five hundred.\n\n\nSo, my people, the painful reality is that we should all prepare for ‘small’ thieves.",

      "body": "In 2011, I encountered one of the boldest teenagers I've ever seen, in Benin City. I was a serving Corps Member.\nHer name was Itohan, and she was just 15.\n\n\n<center>![FB_IMG_1624468844094.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUYVAH9Vmh7hhsde7yAdbwEm8j8LzPKeTF6HLz12C1AqW/FB_IMG_1624468844094.jpg)</center>\n\n\nI served at Edo State Oil and Gas Development Commission(EDSOGPADEC) around Sapele Road, and our PPA got us an accommodation along the same route. I met quite a good number of people who were already working there -- people like Emmanuel Osbo Comr. \n\nEngr Obano -- Head of our Department  -- decided to fetch 6 of us a  three bedroom flat, which we shared 2 Corps Member to one room. The living room, two toilets and bath, and kitchen were general spaces.\nOn my second month in the city, a certain teenager saw me buying pepper in a kiosk along my street.\n\"Wetin man dey do with pepper?\" she asked.\n\nI pretended not to have heard her, because the tone presented itself as if it was saying \"drop that pepper!\"\nWhen I was done buying, a teenage girl blocked my way.\n\n\"Hello, sorry you're blocking my way,\" I said, hoping that the hindrance her station point had become, was a mistake.\n\"So corper I dey call you yesterday, you dey do guy for me?\"\n\nI wanted to be sure my ears were not deceiving me, so I told her to repeat her statement.\n\"Sorry, please come again,\" I said, hoping that my ears were wrong.\nIt came a second time, and this period, with a more arrogant tone:\n\n\"Man no dey do guy for me o -- I be Itohan, and na me dey do guy for man.\"\nI smiled, because I felt I might have been mistaken for some other person.\n\"Nne, what did I do wrong? I don't even know you.\"\n\n\"No dey nne me, I no be Ibo o -- I be Esan geh,\" she decried.\nI apologized, and quietly asked her to a corner, where she made her points clear:\n\"Corper, I like you, but you no dey respond anytime I greet you.\"\n\nI felt bad for her, and made her understand that it wasn't intentional. She offered to pay for the pepper, and I nearly laughed in disbelief. I disagreed with accepting her offer as proof that I won't ignore her again. I went home that day, and still didn't believe the event that played before me.\n\nSubsequently, we started greeting each time our paths crossed. At a point, I noticed she was mostly outside whenever I'm heading homeward from my PPA. Sometimes, I'll take another route.\n\nItohan was very matured in appearance for a 15year old. She was as tall as I was, and her dress sense wasn't what you attribute to people of her age.\n\n\n<center>![FB_IMG_1624468850889.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXQKMGCvWFAgMX1t3Pb92Y27bEcAnVzrnoWvG1hBPDhwz/FB_IMG_1624468850889.jpg)</center>\n\n\nAt some point, I started allowing her to visit, but we were always in the living room. I guess I consented to this, having been the cause of a certain despondent disposition of hers.\n\n\"Ito, the mama selling pepper said you've been sick; what's wrong?\"\n\"Corper na you nah.....\"\n\nShe went on to lament on how I allowed fellow corpers to visit me, while I always told her that I don't like visitors. I felt it, and decided to accept her visits.\n\nWhile one or two persons felt I should date her, I took her as my kid sister. While she kept making emotional/romantic statements to make me see how much she cared, I kept trying to channel her attention towards studies.\n\nI found out she disliked her Chemistry  and Maths teachers. I made her understand that it's hard to do well in any subject, if you bear grudges for the teacher.  According to her, they preferred flogging girls in the buttocks -- she said it's more painful than receiving it with your hand. \n\nI would drill her in Mathematics, Biology, and Chemistry.  I remember when a fellow corps member laughed at me when he heard the tale of my being an \"unpaid teacher\" I laughed at myself too, but deep down, I knew it was a better diversion -- instead of accepting what the little girl wanted.\n\nEven if I was to accept her idea of intimacy, she was just 15 -- having such with anyone less than 18 felt improper.\nFrom making it a diversion, I found out that she improved in Maths and Chemistry.  After Church service one certain Sunday, she told her classmate that I'm her lesson teacher. The boy begged me to allow him visit sometimes, and I agreed. \"Itohan is good in Chemistry now,\" he exclaimed.\n\nWe attended the same Saint Gabriel Catholic Church, which was named after Gabriel Igbinedion , the Esama of Benin. They said he single-handedly built the church and he gave it as a gift to God in one of his birthdays.\n\nGoing by her preference of pidgin English, you would think she was an \"ajekpako\" or \"street girl\" or whatever word available for proper description -- you should know what I mean. But unknown to me, her father owned the most architecturally appealing structure, in the neighborhood. There was a popular name we called the house, but I'll skip that part for some reasons.\n\nI found out she was an \"ajebutter\" or \"daddy's girl\" or whatever word available for proper description -- you should know what I mean. On a certain Sunday, on my way back from the church, her elder brother stopped along the road, and called on me to enter.\n\nItohan introduced me as one of her school teachers, while making the brother understand that the Responsorial Psalm he heard earlier that day, was done by me. I was amazed when they said the famous house was where they were entering. I had to drop, and trekked the remaining distance.\n\nI became an \"unpaid lesson teacher,\" to her and the other boy. The boy stopped coming because of distance, but said he would talk to his parents about paying me, so that I can be coming to their house.\n\nItohan wanted me to start coming to their house too, but I felt it was unnecessary -- even though I was to make extra money -- since I had one month left in Benin, as of the time of this decision of hers.\n\n\"Oxidation and Reduction\" was the last thing I taught her in Chemistry. She cried the day I was leaving, and even had to steal a peck. A fellow corps member said I should carry her to Abia State, since she had given me the \"Teacher of the year,\" Award.\n\nWe all laughed over it, as I prepared to travel. I gave her my Visafone line, for the phone containing my MTN line was faulty, and you cannot use an MTN line on a visafone phone.\n\nItohan called once every week, and kept telling me how she wished she had her own phone. She used public phone boots to call.\n\nI lost my Visafone phone, and it was becoming hard to welcome the line back. And again, the company started having some issues, so I just abandoned the line.\nWhy did I remember this?\n\nI met Itohan yesterday in Enugu after almost 10years! Yes, you heard me.\nA neighbor wanted to link me up with a potential client, and the meeting point was crunches. When it became obvious that an emergency came up for the supposed client, and that he wouldn't make it, my neighbor felt it was proper to have something to eat.\n\n\"Just buy me water, and give me the money you want to spend on me please -- I have things to take care of,\" I told him.\nFoolish me forgot that it was uncultured to behave in that manner.\n\nHe insisted that I must eat the food, after which he ordered, and we ate.\nOn our way back, I told him to stop at mkpokiti, because I saw someone that looked like a more matured Itohan. He needed to get back to his office, but I begged him to stop. \n\nShe was standing on the road, obviously waiting for a means of transportation.  While approaching her, you could understand that a certain young man, who had walked up to her, had engaged her in some toasting sessions. So, I slowed my pace, in order to give him enough time to land. Before I arrived her station point, it became obvious that the young man wasn't successful, for she was shaking her head in negation to whatever he was saying. When he left, I hastened up to her.\n\n\"Hello Young lady,\" I greeted.\n\" And you are?\" she asked, seeming angry for whatever the young man must have said.\n\"Ah it's you my dear -- you haven't changed,\" I added, feeling so happy.\n\"Sorry, do I know you?\" she asked trying to put a name to my face.\n\"I am sorry Ito, this Corper is sorry!\"\n\nYou needed to see how she screamed in the public.  She gave me a strong embrace and didn't want to let go. My neighbor left his car and walked up to us, only for his ears to pick this:\n\"Corper A, it's unfair! It was very very unfair!!\"\n\nOnlookers must have wondered why that drama presented itself to them, but they'll never understand.  \n\"You'll be proud of me now,\" she said, almost shedding tears.\n\n\"I'm studying medicine and surgery here, and I'm entering my finals -- I live with my auntie here,\" she added.\nAnd yes I was proud of her. We exchanged contacts, for she was needed urgently at parklane for something. She had grown into a more beautiful girl, and her white school gown sat properly on her figure.\n\n'I'm buying you lunch this weekend -- you can't tell me I'm a small girl again,\" she added while entering a keke.\nIn a long time, I haven't been happy like I was yesterday. My efforts were not in vain. I remember when she insisted on going into modeling after secondary school. I told her I have Music Ambitions, but it didn't stop me from going to school. I told her she could achieve both, and it was wrong to channel everything into modeling.\n\nThere are times we'll be faced with criticisms from people who think the right thing is outdated, but it's in our calling to prove them wrong.  I'm just imagining myself taking advantage of her then -- I doubt if I would be proud of it today, when I look back. I wish those youth corpers were here to see her now. I was only encouraged by two Youth Corpers who felt I was doing the right thing.\n\n\n<center>![FB_IMG_1624468857836.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZWv9D4LCexLHz48gTJuVrmmmifwaPGF1hEqWwm9cmfmJ/FB_IMG_1624468857836.jpg)</center>\n\n\n*Sometimes, people cross our paths for us to turn them into something better -- not for us to exploit their vulnerability.\n*And again, the world is really a small place.\n\nGood afternoon.",

      "body": "The piercing cries of Sheila's baby were becoming unbearable.\nJust around 3am in the morning, she would wake up and wake the entire neighborhood with her.\nSheila's husband drake, was out of the country for business and he suggested she came back home to stay with us.\nBesides, we moved into a new house and she barely had time to come visiting.\n\n\n\n<center>![FB_IMG_1623606814400.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVT1xr8i4UMDzv1eQ7EJxKD7fEjMBDx1utPMXALge8DMm/FB_IMG_1623606814400.jpg)</center>\n\n\nOn nights little Anna missed crying at 12am, she definitely did not miss 3am. Her patterns were easy to define and this caused me to sleep with my fingers crossed whenever it was near time.\n\nSheila tried to defend Anna, she said the rats in the basement underneath her room woke Anna from sleep all the time.\nEvery one obviously doubted her because we found it normal for a mother to defend her child.\n\nBut everything changed the night I slept in Sheila's room. She asked me to babysit Anna while she studied in the living room for her upcoming exams.\n\nI must have slept off till I heard the scratches  myself. Scratches that were too loud to be caused by rats. And just about that time, little Anna woke up too.\n\nWhile her mom and my mom tried to put her back to sleep, I went down the basement to find what was underneath.\nThe walls were punctured like someone was trying to dig in from the other side, but what caught my attention more were the inscriptions and ancient carvings on the wall. I would have sworn the first time I saw this was in the movie \"Indiana jones and the temple of doom.\"\n\n\n<center>![FB_IMG_1623607275907.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWLC31dp9RHCTgWm6gDgUAdBrGMACPn1cXTkDcDi4KZvp/FB_IMG_1623607275907.jpg)</center>\n\n\n\"Maybe an old lunatic lived here\" I mumbled.\nSheila was heading down with Anna crying louder and louder as they descended the stairs. It seemed little Anna was afraid of something but her mother paid little attention.\n\nI turned to inspect the punctured wall and I saw an eye looking out at me. It moved so fast when I flashed the light again to be sure of what I had seen.\n\"Look out.\" Sheila screamed.\n\nIt was a man with markings on his body stretching his palm at me. I felt my body go weak and my knees go soft almost immediately and that was the last thing I remembered.\n\n**Fiction**",

      "body": "So I'm basically lying down my pallor's floor because somehow I convinced myself I needed the coldness that came for the tiles but that lasted for only 5 minute. Why? It turned out to be too cold  and I'm back to the couch that's making sweat like I'm being boiled or something.\n\n\n<center>![210034943_4236144736408721_3516531933291121772_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXBPgU5nR7UMZYATsmYh2C3QeGgyMbPpbPfNv6GJXVXMQ/210034943_4236144736408721_3516531933291121772_n.jpg)</center>\n\n\nMy issue isn't really the heat or the cold, I think I'm having an inner battle. The thing is, there's this fiction story I want to write so bad that's it's beginning to haunt me in my dreams but I'm saying to myself, my audience will not understand this.\n\n They'll think I plucked this idea from the fiction fruit tree but they dunno(in simi's voice) that I have plotted this day and night, just like Goliath plotted to take over king's saul kingdom till David surfaced. What a joke! A giant and a kid? You gotta be kidding me.\n\nWhy am I writing this? I think it's to take my mind off the fact that I'm gonna write since I made a decision to explore the art till I find what I'm looking for, that's if I do anyway. \n\nAnd then again, I'm trying to freestyle and I dunno why I ended writing about my inability to determine if my audience is ready for the part of me I have suppressed for years or I should just come in like Miley Cyrus' wrecking ball. Oh! I'm beginning to think of that. Guess I'm using too many \"I's.\" huh? Sorry about that.\n\nI do not wanna keep hearing there are no good storytellers in Nigeria, I know we have a few but not enough. And I have decided to add to the number. Well, I just exhaled and that's a major sign of relief.\n\n\n<center>![FB_IMG_1623135346400.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmT552LDrsvxop8H9Yj8WoLbDHx64oHXpwHWQrpL5D6Thm/FB_IMG_1623135346400.jpg)</center>\n\n\nSooooo, you do not need to block me here...I'm a professional fiction writer, I have ghost written more than 13 fiction books for my abroad clients this year alone and I'll tell you why hollywood and Nollywood can never be a match even in the next 10 years.\n\n The answer is simple: Exploring creativity.\nWhen it comes to being creative, these folks explore and stretch creativity till the end, that's if there's one. If there's one thing I've learned in the fiction world, it's that anything is possible.\n\n Absolutely anything and everything can be brought into existence. Yes, that's why you stay glued to your phone screen or movie screen like you have no other agenda in life. Just kidding and I hope you understand my sense of humour, I'm as serious as I joke😂😂 What figure of speech is this? \n\nOops! You thinking she's crazy? Of course I'm not. At least not yet😶\n And for years, I have been given room to stretch mine without questions. But this time around, I want to bring it back home. Maybe we'll appreciate what we have, maybe we'll not and I don't care anywhere, I'm gonna keep writing.\nFor me, fiction doesn't obey religion(maybe it does, I'll find out as I progress), it's not confined to the claws of culture.( Yes, where I come from, culture has claws).\n\n Back to what I was saying, fiction is like the air, nothing can cage it and that's how it should be. Again, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm not. In the years to come, I might find out I was wrong or I was right anyways, but till then I'll explore.\nAnd I look forward to making good mistakes, I have no plans of succeeding without laying a foundation that will not swallow me up on flood days. So you can guess? Yea, I'll cut the rat chase and go straight to the point.\n\n\n<center>![FB_IMG_1623135350646.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmf2mdTa1uFx1XCBykJj5uqU7B9KdsoHJCm56gtYrHXNrt/FB_IMG_1623135350646.jpg)</center>\n\n\nI think I finally know why I'm writing this, I'm contemplating if I should use Aristotle's Freytag pyramid or I should just start in the middle. Yes, this is what I've been trying to decide and writing out my thoughts did the magic.",

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?” and then, like I was awoken from a bad dream, I said; \n“I don’t need your help”. Then I walked out.\n\n\n![FB_IMG_1622673652209.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSj37maRhbrSzvzxV4ru76tGjWxC24MMXTh9vsxxPAwdX/FB_IMG_1622673652209.jpg)\n\n\nI was breathing heavily when I left the room, one mind asked me to keep walking, while the other told me I was a fool for letting such an opportunity pass me by. I told myself that there was no way she could simply have helped me, she didn’t even know anything about me, and that seemed to repress the thought for a while. As impossible as it seemed, I tried to avoid her throughout the class that day, and throughout the week.\n\n\n The next week was crazy; it was closing time, and I was just about leaving the class room when I bumped into Alice, the most popular girl in school. I never saw her coming, so I mistakenly stepped on her shoes. She stood there for a while, staring at me with a blank expression, then her crew crept behind her. I was so scared and confused so I apologized and was about leaving when she pushed me back, I almost fell but I struggled to remain balanced. \n“Clean it” she demanded, looking me straight in the eye and pointing at her shoe. \n\n\nI didn’t know what to do, I was confused. There was no rag anywhere that I could use, and this was the very first word Alice would ever speak to me, she was my role model and I didn’t want to get on her bad side, not that I could even if I wanted to.\n\n\n“Are you deaf, or do you have something in your ears?” she asked sternly. Almost half of the school was watching now.\nI shivered, then I bent down and used my hands to clean her shoes, then she suddenly raised her legs and stepped on my hands. I shouted, and then she said;\n\n“Next time you look where you are going” then she pressed her foot even harder as she walked away. I tried to keep the tears that had welled up in my eyes from dropping, but I couldn’t; they came strolling down my cheeks as I made my way pass the crowd, then I caught the glimpse of an eye; It was Barbra, she had a wicked smile on her face as she entered into the patrol car.\n\n\n![FB_IMG_1622673657814.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdo5PjbXgWoCroTu9hWiEwTnJgK8JmWaw36V4v9DQ2m7F/FB_IMG_1622673657814.jpg)\n\n\nI thought that was the most humiliating moment of my life until I got to school the next morning. It was a terrible morning for me that day, as I woke up with chronic menstrual cramp. My mum had told me not to go to school, but I was adamant because I had a test that morning. As if that wasn’t enough, I got to school only to realize that the incident that happened the day before had kind of given everyone the feeling that they could use me the way they please because they knew I wouldn’t refuse.\n\n\nI entered the school that day, and one of my class mates, Eunice dropped her bag and asked me to please pick it up because she had waist pain. I was shocked, but then I did, and then, Larry dropped his pen and asked me to pick it because he injured his legs, I did that too, and that was the beginning of slavery for me. I was been tossed around the whole day, and I couldn’t refuse despite the fact that I was sick, and it continued like that the whole week. My life was terrible, but it became even more terrible when I saw Barbra walking towards me one Thursday morning;\n\n“Hello servant!” she chuckled, waved and walked pass me. Then she came back again; “how long are you going to continue like this? Because I tell you, these people are going to use the shit out of you” she said with an almost concerned expression. I looked in her eyes as tears dropped down my cheeks and I said;\n“What do I do?”\n\n“Now, that’s my girl, let’s talk over lunch” she said and walked away.\nI was the first person in the dining hall that day, I sat and waited patiently for Barbra. She came in some minutes later with her tray and sat beside me;\n“What took you so long” I asked curiously.\n\n“Is that really important now, or should we just go straight to the point?” she said biting the apple in her hand.\n“Okay, so how do you think you can help me?” I asked impatiently''\n“Why don’t you let us start with an apology?” she asked as she crossed her legs and looked me straight in the eye.\n“An apology for what?” I asked confused''\n“For hurting my feelings the last time.” She said with a serious smile.\n\n“Whoa… what? “ I took a deep breath and said;\"fine, I am sorry”\n“Much better. So, we have started”\n“And what do you mean by that?” I asked even more confused.\n\n\n![FB_IMG_1619676333023.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSKSpRQEvaoNSiHhkk9BG9mCce6QJNNRQ7KUEWFSf5zSY/FB_IMG_1619676333023.jpg)\n\n\nThen, she stood up, walked a distance, and walked back towards me, then she dropped her apple;\n“Oh my God” she yelled; “Clara, can you please help me pick that up? I think I just hurt my foot” she cried out loud. Everyone threw their gaze at me, and my legs began to shake, then she whispered to me; \n\n“I swear, if you move an inch from there, I will not help you” then she began crying, one would think it was real.\nI was clueless and didn’t know what to do, then someone shouted;\n\n“She can’t even help her friend and she calls herself a pastor’s daughter” and they all began to murmur.  I felt weak, but then I summoned courage and said with a trembling voice;\n\n“No! Pick it up yourself”. I could see the mixture of surprise and disappointment in the face of some students, while others had Amazement and disgusting look.\n\nShe picked it up and threw it into the bin, she then looked at me, clapped her hands and said;\n“Nice start, you learn faster than I imagined”  she resumed back to her seat; “now that that is done, other students would be afraid to ask you for anything for fear of embarrassment, the next thing to do now is to change your looks, especially this annoying turtle neck and pop socks you wear under your uniform” \n“What! My mum will kill me” I said eye wide.\n\nShe then looked at me, pointed at my uniform and said; “is that black with white stripes or white with black strips?”\n“What has that got to do with this?”\n“Answer my question” \n“How am I supposed to know?”\n\n\n![FB_IMG_1619676336803.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQbz4S1WgdMgA53oweh2qiVMDfRXT9pxPKwmeYpVU9iyW/FB_IMG_1619676336803.jpg)\n\n\n“Good! I don’t care how you do it, all I want is that on Monday, I don’t want to see you on them, or you can say good bye to my help!” she left before I could say any word. My mum would skin me alive…",

      "body": "In that instance, numbness seized the left side of my face. My left ear had blown out and had become resistant to sound. I didn't know exactly what happened, I just knew I was at the receiving end of something not nice.\n\n\n![FB_IMG_1619138029311.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcpeN8iUXQmnPiWeP7ew2in3D483VAVcuoRGHzxu214sH/FB_IMG_1619138029311.jpg)\n\n\nIt took me a while to realize I had been slapped. I didn't even hear the sound, but passersby did. I know they did because in the days following I didn't stop attracting sympathizers.\n\n\nBack to the present. You might be wondering what brought about the slap, well it was simply a case of me wanting to play spectator to 'two fighting'. \n\nI thought I was at a safe distance from the ensuing fiasco but the popular mad man on the street where the action was taking place, thought otherwise. He had other ideas. I believe he wanted me to share conditional similarity with the guy being pummeled in the showdown I was beholding. To make matters worse, retaliation was a non-element in the set of thoughts that ran through my mind. I could only watch the mad man walk down the street soberly and innocently like someone not remotely capable of a violent use of his hands. I just pressed my hand hard against the left side of my face to keep it from disintegrating as I looked on.\n\n\n![FB_IMG_1619137799968.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcLD3jRdkNL14pbSdtHiAayiJEybrn9mpCbMHgNSJqne8/FB_IMG_1619137799968.jpg)\n\n\nBesides the hollowness in my left medulla membrane and the tears gliding recklessly down my face, I had lost my balance. More wisdom upon that person that propounded the theory that says the ear is used for hearing and balancing. I didn't know it was true until that moment. \n\nInstinctively, I turned in the direction of my house. I wasn't sure if I was going homewards or if I had just left my house prior to the 'resetting' slam. I was momentarily bereft of reasoning. \n\nAs I tried to walk away from the little crowd that was enjoying the free unscripted entertainment on display, I noticed I was staggering. In order to maintain my balance I decided to channel all the hearing resource in my right ear to take up the function of balancing only. My primary concern at that point was to try to make it to my house unaided, so I concluded that balance was my most vital need as there was nothing else left for me to hear till I got home.\n\n\n![FB_IMG_1619137792786.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNurF2AjW7yG1P2xvYR8SsAp21eF8mQPqMR8A9CWYTRc3/FB_IMG_1619137792786.jpg)\n\n\nI was not long gone from the scene when I suddenly felt some heat coming from behind me, the next thing was a stinging pain grabbing at my right cheek which was gradually extending to my ear and jaw. And just like that my right ear had relinquished its privilege to sound too. I saw myself spin. Whether it was in my mind or was happening for real wasn't initially clear. Instantly my head seemed tripled in size and I felt like a cheap commodity being displayed on jumia. \n\nThe last thing I saw before blackness engulfed me was a military man with mean eyes. He was obviously the slap transmitter. He was yelling something to me but of course, I couldn't hear him. Now the whole hearing resource in my left and right ears, including the resource for balancing had been converted to extra resource for my optic sensory. And so before the blackness momentarily whisked me out of circulation, the image capture resource in my optics had been enhanced enough to enable me read the lips of the military man. \"I zey kwall you and you are walkering away, why you wear kwamouflage?\" were his words, the very last words I saw, not heard.",

I wanted to give her a try, since we shared a lot in terms of hobbies, but my instinct kept saying \"Nna gbawakwa oso(Nna keep running)\"\nFor the first time in a long while, I tried begging my instinct to allow me become vulnerable, but it kept saying \"I have told you.\"\n\nI felt like a bad person, for she would compose long love messages, and all I kept telling her was \"time will tell.\"\nI guess she must have said \"oga gerrout,\" and moved on to my cousin's course mate who was also familiar to me. She employed same strategy, and under 2 days, he fell.\n\nShe slept with him on Wednesday and Thursday, and got married to her husband on a Saturday.\nHe was thinking he had found love, until my cousin told him of her wedding. The guy almost wept, and almost felt useless, because he did \"it\" with her based on the fact that \"she loves me.\"\n\nI thought guys were the only ones with licensed heart to be that cruel -- I learnt alot from that experience. I pitied the guy too, for he took a bullet I was meant to take.\n\nSince that day, anything close to \"I love you,\" coming from a lady, will be taken to the lab in Vienna, Austria, for Lab test. I need to nyochala the affection, to know if you're for real, or if you're getting married to another, next week.\nI heard some ladies do this, but never believed it, until I encountered it.\n\n\n![191494501_2555574328079618_3671463832597878354_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQVyxRpz7X3kpiwqpVRk3gKBXWBkdyQJTunvoFzEQt9ev/191494501_2555574328079618_3671463832597878354_n.jpg)\n\n\nI just remembered this because a girl on twitter posted how a guy lied to her a week to his wedding. He kept telling her how she was his heaven and earth. When he finished getting what he wanted, she found out from another source that he was getting married. \n\n\nWhy do people do this?\nI think it's an act of wickedness.",

      "body": "Sometimes, there's nothing to say. Nothing at all😭. You are left with - \"If it had not been the Lord \"😭\n\n\n![IMG_1609392076453.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdVTUepoEyE7cgyJYqDzDMKo5HcMtsy1dzf1EhP6DV9rG/IMG_1609392076453.jpg)\n\n\nI've been going through a group mentoring sessions with Prof. Williams Amponsah, of University of Georgia and he gave us a tough assignment. The assignment demanded we take stock of our present reality, honestly. \n\nSometimes, it is better not to lie to yourself. To be as honest with yourself as possible, and to be blunt, telling yourself the hard truth. Tough Self-love. \n\nI took stocks of the dreams I've had, what I've been able to achieve so far and the journey ahead. \n\nI stared my present reality in the face, all through last night and it wasn't surprising that I woke up with depressing thoughts. \n\nI didn't want it to affect my joy so, I started listening to Hallelujah Challenge Album by Nathaniel Bassey, followed by You're gonna be okay by Jenn Johnson, Raise a Halellujah by Bethel Music, then I find you on my Knees by Kari Jobe. Before I got to Love Lives Here by Kari, I was speaking in tongues and my heart was lifted. Then God's words and His promises started coming to me. \n\nKai. Abba's Love. \n\nWho art Joy that thou art so mindful of her?\n\nI say it all the time, God has been the only CONSTANT thing in my life. His dependability is not questionable. \n\nI don't know how to explain how it is in my heart. I sincerely have a faint heart when I think about people who can't turn to God when it seems like they have exhausted their selves trying to make sense of their lives and what's happening to them and around them.\n\n\n![IMG_20210418_110102_631.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQis9S16m6MoTR6Yt93ia8KeDk2bS4gbw2w6ah7cjDTws/IMG_20210418_110102_631.jpg)\n\n\n\nIt's so refreshing to know that you can always run to the fountain of life to be refreshed. It's so potent and surreal. \n\nDear Friend, \n\nI may not know what you may be going through right now. \n\nI may not have the right answer to why those things are happening to you. \n\nI may not have any form of help to render to pull you out of that place.\n\nBut dear, I introduce to you someone that happens to know all, understand and can help you go through it with His strength, or solve it outright if He chooses. \n\nHis name is Jesus and He is faithful.\n\nYou can talk to Him now. He hears even the faintest whispers.",
