You said you loved me but you lied. This is not how someone treats the one they cherish… Words don’t mean nothing when actions contradict. Love is really very simple, even a child knows it. It’s in the way that you smile… And the look in your eyes. […]
Erhuvwun was hungry, but chose to fast that day, especially as Amadi was compelling her to go with him to the idol shrine. When she’d turned down her food, Amadi had not been phased. Rather he put her to some hard work, so that she would be tired and hungry. Erhuvwun […]
Amadi could hear the sound of singing, which indicated that Erhuvwun was almost home. But what had taken her so long? Didn’t she know that he needed her in the morning? Or was she taking advantage of the new liberty he had given her by disrespecting him? Rather […]
“Well, I know Him as the Father of the fatherless, because that is how He introduced Himself to us the day Chief Ogboru threw us and our daughters out of his home. We had nothing, he didn’t even give us provisions. He called us cursed because we had […]
“So, you’re still childless? After two pregnancies?! Hmmm… This is serious oh,” Ejiro said, shaking her head as she looked on sadly at her friend. “How is Amadi taking this?” Erhuvwun sighed, still feeling perplexed about everything. She had come home to visit with her father for a […]
AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS AND PATRONS ONLY Every year, on the 21st of October, Mary and Ifeanyi commemorated the memory of Mary’s parents with a special activity. This was their fourth year marking the date, since their marriage, three and a half years ago. On their first year, they […]
The sun was going down, and Amadi still hadn’t returned home. Erhuvwun was worried. His leaving this morning was unusual. She’d expected him back since lunchtime and had even gone to the stream to call him, thinking he’d gone there to clear his head. But he wasn’t there. […]
In this world where the wise thing to do in an abusive relationship is to walk away, to protect and look after yourself and your sanity, I feel conflicted about the Wisdom of the Cross that caused Jesus to endure unfair punishment, torture, insults and mocking, to redeem […]
AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS AND PATRONS ONLY It was a full house at Mr and Mrs Ifeanyi Chukweke’s home. Daniel, Samson and Sunday, Mary’s brothers, were all home for the Summer Break. Thankfully, the house was big enough to accommodate them all. However, for their trip to Church that […]
Erhuvwun rarely sang these days, but when she did, they were songs of immense sadness and loss. In the blink of an eye, without any warning at all, her whole world came crashing down on her. It was last month when it happened. She was in her second […]

AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS AND PATRONS ONLY Amaka woke up in the hospital, having suffered a mild concussion from her fall. She quickly shut her eyes, when the bright light in the room, aggravated her headache. She turned her head and tried opening her eyes again. A blurry face […]
Some months later, it was the wedding of another couple of villagers. One of them was the younger sister to a close friend of Erhuvwun, and so she was keen to make the festivities. Again, Amadi was not interested, but this time, he accompanied Erhuvwun with good cheer. […]
AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS AND PATRONS ONLY As expected, Amaka woke up to find herself alone in her home. Her heart ached, as she remembered what had transpired yesterday between her and Ifeanyi, and the beating she’d received when she had gotten home. As she got out of bed, […]
