Today, I had an altercation with my eight-year old son that is becoming all too regular. He has a phone, which I supervise through Google’s Family Link, and the phone is locked in the mornings so he can focus on getting ready for school. Well, this morning, he […]
In the Bible App, today, the question was posed, “What about eternal life encourages you today?” Of the three options given, I chose, “I will have perfect community with God.” This is because, for me, the trauma of living in this realm is the uncertainty of life, its […]
I’m of the opinion that it is easier to say sorry when you don’t mean it. For some people, sorry just falls off their lips just as easily as they lie. But as someone who strives to be truthful all the time, I find it hard to apologise […]
The saying is true, “United we stand, divided we fall”! Unity in marriage cannot be over estimated. It is in fact what defines a marriage – two becoming one! Unity and marriage are, therefore, synonymous in meaning. Without unity, there is no marriage. Marriages don’t fall apart in […]

Relationships are not an exact science, and romantic relationships can be tricky. However, there are those who believe there is a formula to making it work. They share their wisdom on how to get a man, how to keep a man, and how to make sure he is […]
Danny left the Church building still reeling from Bolu’s hug. He could still feel his big strong arms around him, squeezing him. Danny hadn’t been hugged like that before. It was…comforting. Strangely so. And what Bolu had said about God loving him was just…too much. He couldn’t take […]
Lola woke up in Bolu’s arms, stirred awake by a ray of golden sunlight on her face. It was a beautiful Wednesday morning, and the lovebirds had slept in late. She lifted her head up to see that Bolu was already awake and had been watching her sleep. […]
Lola’s instinct was to scream “Yes! Yes! Oh, yes… I’d rather be married to you any day…” Having spent long enough discontented in marriage, and knowing all the things Danny could offer her that Bolu couldn’t and wouldn’t for a while to come (if ever), the idea of […]
Bimbo Adetayo returned from her visit in the evening. She sensed the tension in the apartment the moment she returned. She asked Lola how her trip was. Lola said it was fine, but her eyes told a different story. She asked Bolu if everything was ok, and his response […]
Lola took a cab home from the airport. As much as she knew she had to give thanks to God for opening her eyes to see the truth about Danny, she did not want to do so. Rather she was angry with Him for bursting her bubble and interrupting […]
“Lily, Lily!” Lola heard her mother’s call, and felt her shaking her awake from her sleep. “Lily, come. Come quick!” Omotola called her sleeping child. “Mama…” Lola stirred from her sleep, and rubbed her eyes. She couldn’t believe it. It was really her mother! She pinched herself, because […]
Lola checked her phone for messages and missed calls when she was alone in her hotel room. Bolu had responded to her earlier message with “Great! Work’s been busy today. I’ll call you when I get home, so we can talk about how your day went.” However, there […]
“Uno-do’-tres-cuatro… I know you want me, you know I want ‘cha…” Pitbull’s song blared on the stereo, as the car engine started, indicating the radio channel Danny’s driver had been listening to, before he had picked up Danny and Lola. “Please can you change the station?” Lola asked, […]
Lola’s flight from Lagos landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja by quarter past ten on the Tuesday morning. She had only hand luggage, so she didn’t have to wait for any baggage at the baggage claim. She sent Bolu a message to tell him that […]
