LITTLE DID I KNOW

-
Every unary day of my life; I spent it as a thrall. Slavery, that’s what it’s called, right? Well, call it anything you want; I guess I was blinded with the normality. News was that we were paying some debt. Debts some anon parents made. But wasn’t there satisfaction from the labour spent? Surmises spoke loudly about a particular Prince, Said he was coming to fight for us. With his last sweat, abolish slave practice. Hope regained stand in the people’s hearts. Still, I was blinded with the normality. What’s the big fuss here? I mean, It’s normal and sensible to pay debts. But was paying incessant anonymous debts sane? The arrival of the prince was a still one, But folks said there was a sign in the sky. Expectations began to rise above measures. Okay, no time to waste, pursue your mission! Instead, prince charming began making friends, Bragging a lot about the norms of his town. Anger surged through me like slavery had through my years

What is your Purpose?

-
Have you ever asked yourself as a Christian; “what is my purpose?”, having heard that being successful is not outclassing others but fulfilling your purpose? Before we go into that question, let me remind us that we’re called ‘Christians’ because we’re supposed be Christ-like, live like Christ, think like Christ, talk like Christ and so on. When we believe in God and accept Him as our Lord and Saviour, we become dead to flesh and the things of the flesh and then, we receive His Spirit and become alive; in the spirit. It is no longer Chisom in control but Christ. The real life of a person is in the spirit, so life is spiritual. We should focus and deal more with things of the spiritual than physical. The body is just housing the spirit and it does only what is conceived in the mind. So if I’m in Christ, my spirit (my life) is Christ. He is the one now in control of me. Where am I headed? Christ came to this world to die for us and He set an example, a guideline for us live ri

Are you really dead?

-
ARE YOU REALLY DEAD? There’s been something going around social media for a while about some people that are dead but not really dead. Funny! I can’t fathom. But even as funny as it sounds, some people have come to say it’s true, these things are happening. A particular lady said she was dating a guy and this guy just suddenly got missing. She started calling around and finally called his parents. They thought she was mad because this guy had died ten years ago. Another lady said her uncle had died since 2005. Sometime this year, her dad’s friend came visiting and joined them for dinner. As they were all discussing, this friend mentioned something about seeing her uncle. They were all confused and the man said he met the uncle on the way to the house and the uncle said he would soon be joining them at the house. Everyone was frightened and her father told his friend that his brother had died since 2005, his friend was completely shocked. The whole thing is scary right?

Dear lady

-
I stand for gender equality and against gender inequality. One particular day, I was sent to buy something and I had to go as far as the junction because many shops didn’t have what I wanted. I got to particular shop and saw this lady, fine lady, fine strong girl though, because all ladies are strong. Her hairstyle attracted me. She plaited her hair to resemble a Mohawk. Well, as usual, they didn’t have what I wanted, so I continue my tour till I got to the last shop at the junction, bought what they had and started returning home. I was about passing that shop when I saw this my Mohawk sister standing opposite her shop, waiting for someone. As I saw her full body, her hair no longer attracted me, her gown did. It was brutally short. I stared continuously at her. What nonsense! Then, I noticed the person she was waiting for had finally come: A guy. Oh, dear prince charming. I was sad, very very sad. I’m sure this girl dressed that way because she was expecting that guy. Thinking a

Do you think you can?

Psychology and perspective play important roles in our day-to-day life. I decided to clean up my room one particular day, a thorough clean up. I had almost finished cleaning up when I got exhausted, I needed to rest. I was about ‘resting’ when I realized I had no strength at all, ‘I’ll get coke’, I said to myself. So, I went to nearby shop to buy coke to drink. I didn’t even wait till I got to my room, I just opened it and at the first sip, I was like, “Ha, strength”. I psychologically felt strength surging through my body, my bones, my muscles and tissue. “Thank God I bought this coke” After some 2-3 seconds, I realized I was still weak, nothing was surging through my body except the cold liquid that was going down my oesophagus. It was all in my mind. “Chisom, you think too much”, I told myself.  But guess what, something was different. I did feel some strength anyways. Not just from the coke I was drinking, but from the fact that I thought the coke could give me strengt

“WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A BROKEN VESSEL?”

-
“We” Ugochi corrected her friend. She folded her legs up and rested her jaw on her knees. If only she had been careful or had minded her business, fetched her water and left immediately, but no; Nneka convinced her to join those girls in their water fight, now they were both leaving without water, not even with the calabash they came with. Nneka’s rants were itching her ears. They should be thinking of what tell their parents, instead of ranting. Anger wouldn’t solve anything now. “Mba. Don’t worry about me. I am going to tell Papa. See ehn, I’m not blaming Chinaza and her friends, that is not what I am doing. What I said is, let allof us look for a way, you know, just a way, I don’t know. They didn’t even wait to sympathize with us, that’s the least could’ve done, instead, they ran away. They think they are smart. They’ll see what Nneka Obichi can do” “Nneka, you know quite alright that this would just make everything complex, ehn!” Ugochi’s eyes didn’t leave the ground “That i

THAT WORTHLESS SUBSTITUTION

-
Tosin was calling again. Oh God! She needed to go before he got angry. “…….so, when you get to your room, sit down and make that list. A list will make everything much more organized and functional. Don’t forget o! Our environment is in a big mess, it needs to be cleaned asap! We have a lot of guest ministers coming this month, a more reason why that list must be ready by the end of this week.” Oluchi kept tapping her left foot in impatience. Why can’t he ever talk straight forwardly? Urgh! “Bro Gbenga!!!!!!....” “Yes!!!! Erm, Sister Oluchi, See you on Thursday joor. Don’t forget o!” “Ok sir” Oluchi nodded slightly Phew! She needed to get outta here before anyone calls her again. Tosin would be ready to eat her alive. Too many responsibilities. She signed and rolled her eyes. “Madam” “Babe, I’m so sorry” She ran her hand through her hair. “I can clearly see you’re angry. It’s Bro Gbenga, he didn’t let me leave on time. I’m sorry” “Don’t you think you’re too inv
