A while back, someone asked me this question, while reading one of my story series. I said I would probably respond via my Reader Questions series…and I feel it’s high time I oblige. It’s not an easy question to answer. It is very exposing, and it is also […]
My answer to this interesting question from a reader was short and sweet. But maybe you might have more insight to share. I think she would love the encouragement, and maybe other ladies facing the same challenge. “Good evening ma. you are doing a great job. more grace. […]
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. […]
I have modified this Reader’s account, because it was very detailed, but her main points are still captured. Dear Ufuomaee I am a 28yr old a graduate waiting for service,i mean Nysc. A single mum bt still living with my parent due to their love for me nd […]
“Dear Ufuomaee, I need your advice on this issue ma. Last year my husband made a mistake and got a lady pregnant, he begged me and promise to quit the relationship as soon as the lady born the baby, which I agree. But the lady has born the baby […]
Amadi sulked all the way home. He was so angry with Erhuvwun for disrespecting him in the presence of all those nosy and annoying villagers! Why couldn’t she just trust him for once? Why couldn’t she just obey?! Sure, she was upset about her father, but that old […]
I am soooo, soooo fed up with people…even strangers, asking me when I’m going to have my second baby! And I am seriously pissed off whenever family and friends TELL me that I must have another baby, because one is not enough and blah, blah, blah… With all […]
“Go! Go! If you don’t want to be here, just go! I’ll come home when my father’s well!” Erhuvwun insisted, not knowing how she got the courage to be so bold. She just knew she wasn’t about to forsake her father now, and she couldn’t stand to hear […]
Nothing takes the romance out of a relationship quite like having a baby! Whether or not you are prepared for it or desirous of it, the toll of having a new-born is multidimensional. Aside the fact that being pregnant and enduring labour does things to a woman’s self-image […]
After they’d made love a second time that afternoon, Erhuvwun rose from the bed, thinking they’d better make the most of the day before the darkness fell. But Amadi pulled her into him and held her close. He was enjoying their intimacy. He was enjoying her in a […]
Erhuvwun woke up the next morning and immediately jumped off the bed. She’d overslept. Amadi had left her sleeping in for the first time ever. She heard the familiar sound of his axe against wood, and knew he was outside working on his new furniture project. She tied […]
Hey, y’all!!! Happy Weekend 🙂 I hope you are enjoying yourselves. I know I am. As you are reading this, I am at Aimee’s Library’s “A Book In Hand Live” Beach Hangout, talking about my book, Perfect Love and meeting some awesome people too. If you haven’t read it […]
Erhuvwun preferred to wash their clothes by the stream. She had told Amadi how the flowing water was ideal for rinsing them off and left a lovely fragrance in the fabrics. After the first time, when his wrappers had returned brighter than they’d ever been, he hadn’t challenged […]
“And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, […]
The first month was the hardest. Erhuvwun woke up to the realisation that she’d married a stranger, and the scarier part of that was the meaning of marriage, rather than the fact that he was a stranger. In every respect, she had been sold into bondage, and she […]
