Royver, morning. This should be a true story, right? Were you the lured and was she one of "the tails "? 1 Like |

Royver, be richly blessed- that first story was awe-inspiring. I woke up this morning with the thoughts of "the next voice u hear" and was like I'll log in to nl today to hello u. Was so happy to be greeted with that first story.....it reminded me of what my mom experienced when we were small- we did not travel for Xmas that year n as usual we clean the church n the only pple that was priviledged to keep the sanctuary clean, dress Holy images of our Lord n the Blessed Virgin and wash alter cloths at home...bla bla bla. One fateful morning, on our usual duty after holy mass- except for one old man n a lady in the church engrossed in their prayers- we saw our mom suddenly kneel n trembled...later that night she told us her encounter. That she was called by her native name three times and was asked of the promise she made to give a certain amount after the season. And another occasion when she was given a diamond Holy Rosary right in her b'ra. Royver dear, u are awesome- ye though u walk in the valley of shadow of death......thou shall fear no mermaid...for He is Emmanuel. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Hello everyone its smartshadow. I am currently using a friends nairaland account Some of you might have read my novel(complicated desire). Well thanks to the wise and mature minded moderators(and truly I say this with the highest level of sarcasm there is), I have been banned from this section and my work has been moved to sexuality section. I must say that I wasn't by any means warned or alerted about this decision It pains my heart because not only have I invested valuable time in writing this book, but there are nairalanders who have been following, supporting and enjoying my work. It goes to show that its not everyone who can use a computer that actually has common sense. I am in no way going to continue writing the novel because what inspired me to write in the first place was because I wanted to share in the intelligence and talent of writers and readers in this section. So to everyone that has encouraged my work and who have been supportive, I say a big thank you. Samsondavid Harkanbi Calmdove Viktoh kwencypresh bookj estellar12 Costlybabe Vickthoriah prettydiva89 Elparaiso Elzicks paperlord007 Rapmoney Tiffanyj amenna ayodijex ESIXlOVE And @ Op. I am so so sorry for derailing your lovely thread |

That point it time when a kiss is so magical, it blows your mind away... I was sitting down in my office, quite occupied with the affairs of this world when I heard the song. It was an old song, a song from a different era, when nigeria was, well, different. It reminded me of excitement and romance, of teenage valour and unfulfilled love. I tried to ignore it but my soul tugged at me. Get up, it said, follow it before you lose it again, forever. So I got up from my seat. I walked slowly and gently outside for fear that my hurry would drive the singer awaylike it had done years before and years before then. I went outside and stood still, listening to the now faint song as it floated on the evening breeze towards my antenna-like ears. It was an old song and she sang it the old way, with feeling, with love, with faith. My heart wept deep within my chest but I kept my head clear. There was no way it could be her. I took another step and there she was, the singer, singing that tune that we had forged together under the mango tree at "zuma rock" many, many years ago when the air was young and the harmattan came in september. She turned as I approached her and when she saw me she let out a gasp, like she had been holding her breath. She held her left hand to her heart as if to steady it. I saw disbelief in her eyes. "You told me, If I sang..." she stuttered. "I would find you." I completed the sentence. People moved around us, glancing at us as if secret spectators to this coincidence of coincidences. We stood for another moment looking at each other, not smiling, not crying, just being. Just being like the days of old when the sun was warm on our faces and her cheap perfume smelled like heaven to me. Ismelled it again as I approached now, swiftly, though if it was real or simply the remnants of a memory I cannot now tell. I entwined her in my arms and hugged her, feeling the fresh scent of her hair and the weight of her body as she collapsed into me. We became one body, one flesh, one scent, one song, revelling in each other, our souls intertwined in one beacon of light. I didnt care that we were blocking human traffic, I didn't care for the indignant and mischeviousl glances and yellow teeth flashes. All I cared about was that somehow I had found her again, my Okome. 5 Likes 1 Share |

oghenekome51: This is nothing but a sham concocted by the Catholic Church to gain more Riches from their gullible followers. If the foundation of Christianity wasn't built on Ridiculous Lies, the World would have been a better place. |

I welcome every nick d!ck n harry aboard to fp. Well done Royver, take notice of what someone said up there- ur "i see what others cant see" on another's page. I suppose it wont be a bad idea editing ur stories once completed or still starting a story here n finishing up on ur blog- you can as well handle it entirely like prettyspicey. |
