THE KEEPER CHAPTER 3

 Chapter 3 Motola ran towards Chris’ side as they both laid flat on the ground.  One of the criminals took position by the front door, while the other hovered over them; cocking his gun at their heads. The third who appeared to be the leader of the group, sat majestically on the sofa. “Raise up your heads” he thundered “Please don’t let us do that” Chris replied from the floor “Just take whatever you want and leave us in peace”  “Yes please” Motola said fearfully The leader laughed loudly and repeated his request. Motola and Chris quickly raised their heads towards him but kept their eyes closed “Now sit on the floor and open your eyes” he shouted They obeyed him trembling “Good. I see you were having dinner; your anniversary dinner I presume?” Motola and Chris exchanged a surprised look. “You’re surprised I’m informed?” he asked smiling “Don’t be. You very well know who I am. Today is the day of reckoning, and I am here to exact my last revenge on you Christopher Emeka Okafor” Chris b

So this why you told me you had to leave work early eh?” “Yes honey” Motola replied. “I wanted us to have a quiet, romantic anniversary dinner at home” Chris moved towards his beautiful wife, carried her and spun her round. “Please put me down, you’re very tired” she pleaded amidst laughter. “Not until you guess how much I love you” he replied “A whole lot” Motola said “No” “Very much?” “Not even close” he replied spinning her faster “Chris please put me down; we are going to wake Joana” He complied and set her on the floor, holding her to his chest as their breathing slowly went

THE KEEPER CHAPTER 1

Hello dear reader, top of the morning to you. I hope like me, you're in high spirits this morning 💃   This year has been like a roller coaster ride, 😵 but thank God for his mercies.  With the ASUU strike still on, I have had more time to dedicate to my other passion, writing stories 😊😆😉 The story below is the first chapter from a short story I just completed titled "THE KEEPER". As usual, I will not publish all the chapters because I want to have it published 😁However, I will try to post 3 chapters here.  Do enjoy and share your opinion in the comment section, thank you 😘  Chapter 1 As night fell on the quiet government residential area of Ikeja Lagos, Motola Okafor smoothed the crease on her dining table cloth and took a step back to admire her work. The dishes with Chris’ favourite meal sat in the middle of the table, expensive china and silver wear neatly arranged, a bottle of champagne in the ice bucket, and two wine glasses beside each plate. The scented candl

EXCEPT FROM THE RETREAT BY Aiyegbusi Ololade

 Hello everyone, my apologies for the long absence 🙏 I have been preoccupied with studies for my Master's degree program 🎓 as well as other personal issues. During this time, I have been working on a pet project 😂 💃 I hope to have it published as a novel when I am done. Before that happens, enjoy this long except from the story 😂😘😉 "Thank you" said Lara when they were alone. "Don't mention it" he replied quietly. "I need to go, but I'll be back soon. I'll tell Zara to -" "Please don't tell her." Lara interrupted sitting up quickly. Malik frowned looking confused. "Why?" He asked I don't want her to worry about something so trivial." She replied "Too late. I already sent her a text, and I'm sure she's on her way here" he replied checking his phone. "Great!! She's probably panicking" Lara said standing up. She went to the window to look out, the sun was very bright. She h

"I HEART YOU" : local or endearing?

Let me start by stating that I mean no disrespect to anyone but I have to ask, what is with this common phrase "I heart you?" Is it because of the general miconception that love exists in our hearts? Or because society has tagged the heart as the birth, growth and resting place of love? What about the other school of thought that believes love exists in our brain? After all, memories of your beloved is stored in your brain, so please where does the "I heart you" phrase come to play? Many will argue with me and say that the racing of our hearts when our beloved is closeby, justifys the phrase. If that is so, then I guess those who subscribe to the belief of butterflies in our tummy should be allowed to coin theirs? How will you react if someone says "I stomach you?" I don't know about you, but thoughts of little Red Riding Hood swallowed by the wolf will be my impression plus an obvious look of surprise followed immediately by horror. That is if I d

A CRITIC ON THE IBB STATEMENT BY KASSIM AFEGBUA

 On the 4th of February 2018, Mr Kassim Afegbua; spokesman of Retired Gen. Ibrahim Babangida released a statement titled; Towards National Rebirth, in which the former military general said that it was time to sacrifice “personal ambition” for “national interest”. He asked Nigerians to cooperate with the president till he completes his term of office in May 2019, before giving way to new, young generation to assume the role of leadership; to make room for fresh blood so to speak.  The statement was without a doubt, a brutally honest appraisal of the state of the nation. Wreaked with political, economic and cultural crisis, Nigeria it seems is on his last legs. The Boko Haram insurgence, ethic wars, prevalent corruption, murders, kidnappings, molestation and quite recently, the unchecked activities of the Fulani herdsmen has cast doubt on the capacity of this administration to govern the nation. Like a sick man on life support, the nation is barely surviving, and without a miracle, the
