Episode 3&4 The driver rushed towards Felicia,  "madam! Madam!"  "Olorun o ni je ka daran oo" (may God prevent us from calamity). He rushed her back into the car and as a wave of breeze blew over her, she came back to life. "Omo mi da" (where is my child) was the first thing she said. "Madam please relax, let me go inside and check her" the driver replied. Felicia came down from the car , rushed into the house. As she  entered through the front door, she met Tope on the floor soaked in his own blood. "Ah! Esther 'kilo se fun'" (what have you done to him?) Esther could not give an answer. She was soaked with sweat and blood, one could liken her to a cowboy who had just finish milking a cow. "Mummy please let's go to the police station" she said. "To do what? Felicia queried. " To report the case. She resolved. "Madam let me go and report the case in the police station while she take her bath"...

Pa! pa !pa! , Tope heard the sound of a gun shot coming from the direction where Esther and Diana entered. He rushed inside to check what was happening, only to find Esther on the floor. He knelt down beside her to check if she was still breathing. "Mummy wake up....Dianna cried.  Tope quickly rushed Esther into his car and drives horridly to the hospital. " Doctor how is my wife?" Tope asked the doctor after coming out from the theatre. "Your wife is stable. She will be on admission for the next two weeks" the doctor said. "Thanks doctor" tope said. "We treat, God heals" the doctor said as he walks towards his office. As soon as he was done with the hospital procedure, he left for the police station to report the case. ............ "This life I can't kill myself oo, allow me to flex ooo... This life I can't " this was the song Victor was singing when the police van arrived his vicinity. He had run away from his house since...

"Please stop! don't beat my mummy again" Diana cried. Victor did not stop until Esther could not raise her arm anymore. He flanked Diana like a player would flank a ball on the football pitch, not minding if she hit her head on the wall. He left the house looking like a hungry tiger. Victor was once a billionaire who was making cool cash before one of his mistress introduced to him a virtual business. Suzzy was an international proustite who had made fortune from her job. She is curvaceous and smart that most politician do like to take her on their business trip. She introduced Victor to a business that could make victor the richest in the country but to every business there attach a risk. Victor was ready to take the risk. He withdrew all of his savings, packaged it in a sack and was ready to travel to Dubai with Suzzy. Two days before the trip, Victor was robbed. Hello ma, mummy, it's me (sobbing).. Esther "omo mi" what's wrong? Felicia, Esther...

In Nigeria, there are lots of families and each differs in terms of background and identity. Which one is your family and how good or bad is your family contributing to society? The daily activities in families account for the kind of behaviour being exhibited by children in the society which in turn becomes the pedal at which we ride the wheels of each community.  The seven types of the family include: 1. Formal and strict families: This kind of families are always time conscious, they train their child to be mean and in their thinking, they are better than every other family in the neighbourhood. They barely accept gifts and when they do they instruct their children not to make use of such gifts. They are well educated and less socialized. If they have tap water, they hardly leave a tap outside the building for public use and despite that, they have the time they open and lock it. And if you are in need of water you need to ask for keys on several occasions and if car...

Men and women have a different view about what polygamy is and the choice of polygamy is mostly based on the two top religions practised in Nigeria, and other factors to be discussed. According to Christianity, a man is to be married to a woman but despite this, we still see many Christian men who choose to marry more than a wife. In Islam, a man is permitted to marry more than one but less than five if he is certain he can be just among them. Despite this privilege, some Muslim men still hold on to just a single woman. Men are mostly polygamous in nature but there are certain factors preventing him from answering the call to nature. Reasons why men choose to stay with a single woman include: 1. Economic reasons: Women are naturally inexpensive but artificially expensive. The cost of taking care of a woman is enough to take care of two men. Most men marry in regards to their income and once he fears that he wouldn't be able to meet up to this demands, he settles for less....

Most parents have been trying to find a better school for their children and find it hard to determine whether or not they should put them into a private or public university. Well, there are advantages to any of the two but the main reasons the private university should be considered are: 1. Availability of study materials; We all know that most private institutions receive exorbitant school fees, and with these fees, they try to put in place all necessary materials needed for suitable learning and magnificent result. This is contrary to the case of the public university where the school needs to wait for the federal or state government before they could run the school properly. Also if the budget to the education sector is relatively low, it will definitely affect the amount of fund being received by each public institutions. 2. Building political and social stability; it is of no doubt that most rich men and women in Nigeria enrol their children to schools like this due to t...

There has been a lot of controversy over the type of lady who would make a better wife. Some people believe marrying a lady who after secondary school get into business or apprenticeship is better compared to a lady who thrives to finish her university education. Well, society, family, religious upbringing have their own influence over the kind of woman a lady will become. But before I would go into this controversial issue I would like to remind my readers that most African countries including Nigeria, practice a patriarchal system of governing giving the husband some power over the wife. Below are the reasons why men prefer a secondary school leaver to a graduate: 1. Socialization/ civilization: School is no doubt an agent of socialization and the higher institution is believed to have grant most ladies an exposure wider than that of the secondary school. It is believed that ladies because of this socialization engage in a behavioural act which could affect their cultural valu...
