"But i have no transport"He still asked on.Victor threw a bulky wad of naira notes to him.
"If my boys ever get to know i helped you escape then i am doomed.Just board a 911 lorry conveying food to the north.Locate the address with the best of your ability.My boys are combing around the campus waiting to butcher you.Please run Dave,run i love you bro just go from here"Vicky ordered and disappeared into the darkness.He picked up his bag and started running to God knows where.he ran till dawn.he soon located a lorry garage and boarded the one bounded for Kaduna.They spent two days on the road before reaching Kaduna.He alighted and searched for the papers Victor gave him but found out he had misplaced.He was stranded and stood by the roadside and flagged at every car passing till dusk.
He never gave and kept flagging every car until a Toyota Camry passed and reversed.His heart was lifted when the driver asked him into the car after listening to his ordeal,and this good samaritan was Folarin Beecroft

*CONTINUED*
Folarin took him home,made him bath and fed him.That was the wonderful night he met with the Holy Spirit,After narrating all to Folarin.Folarin preached to him,he remembered he was weeping that night when it was brought to his notice that he was naked and that he needed Christ.He gave his life to Christ that night.The next day was sunday,Folarin took him to the missionary church and introduced him to the fellow missionaries.
The persecution was very tough,ISWAP and terrorists continually troubling them.The scene he could not help but remember was the time ISWAP came into the church and took away six men after brutalising the remaining members.They were tortured intermittently whenever they go to preach in the markets or squares.There was no food because the terrorists made sure they cut off their food supplies.
God never forsaked them,he elevated them even beyond their imaginations.They now ate and dine with notable figures both internationally and locally as God wrought miracles through them.

He looked at Folarin who was now awake.
"For all you've done for me,i want to say thank you"David said.Folarin smiled.
"Mr David,its alright.You have said this innumerably,thanks should be to God instead"Folarin replied.
"But there is something in me telling me that my girlfriend gave birth before her death"David said downcasted.Folarin held his broad shoulders."We will be checking her house once we are through with this crusade"he reassured.

Bros.T was a shadow of himself when she stumbled into him in one of the shows she organised at PrimeTown Hotel.He was moody so after performing she went to greet him.He was out of reality but she managed to jerk him back to live.Her thirty eight years brother looked older than his age and his eyes were bloodshot,it roved around like a tennis ball.She noticed his nervousness.
"Bros T,Long time.You dont even bothered to call me or visit"she started and sat comfortably beside him.
"I have a lot of demanding task to attend to"he replied susceptibly.

*CONTINUED*
Clara noticed his breath was difficult,she looked around to check out why Bros T eyes were roving around the hall.
"Bros T,what is wrong"she decided to ask.
"Let the spirits move around,they need freedom to move"Bros T replied and laughed mischievously.Clara looked around.
"Which spirit are you talking about Tunde"she queried and shuddered at his evil laughter.
She saw him brought out a pack of cigarette out and lit a stick.Her heart jumped to her stomach.Tunde does not look normal to her.This was her most favourite brother whom she loved so much and she vowed she must make sure he is fine before returning home.Her heart bled as she watched looked into thin air and pointing like a lunatic.
"Tunde talk to me,are you alright"she asked afer forcefully snatching the cigar from him and threw it into the garbage can.
"Clara,i emulate you,not that you are a star but the peace of mind you are enjoying"Bros T said and wiped the strand of tears coming out of his eyes.
"What are you talking about Tunde"

*CONTINUED*
"Clara,i have made the biggest mistake of my life"Bros T started in tears.
"Tell me all of it"
"I grew up in a christian home until i entered the university.I joined the campus fellowship.It happened that our president just woke up in the night and started coughing out blood.We rushed him to the hospital but all of the clinic rejected him so we brought him back to our hostel and started praying for him.We prayed for a whole day but our president died during our prayers.We soon started doubting our faith.we started seeing reasons with atheists then in my school that there was no God and even if there is,why did he refused to answer our prayers.I soon started deviating from the faith.I began to make research about this God,i and my coursemates later formed an extreme group where we vowed to unravel all mysteries surrounding this God.We read a lot of books written by philosophers who dont believe in God.I read Epicurus books and also the Marxist just to satisfy my inquisitiveness"Bros T said sobbing

*CONTINUED*
"So whats your regret now"Clara asked and watched him puffed his cigarette.
"Clara i continued reading demonic books which gave enough germane fact that God never existed.Ahh.I was deceived to join the dark world-spiritism.Yeas they gave me fame,riches and knowledge.I thought i had arrived,i organised a television show to tell others that there was no God.I led a lot of people astray.I just broke a rule of necromancy ignorantly six years ago and now my life is in shambles.When we sin,we ask God to forgive us,he forgives us but in the dark world where satan rule,there is no forgiveness.I have pleaded for forgiveness yet they chose to punish me by releasing dead flying spirits to trail me around.That was why i took to hard drugs at least to keep fit.This did not help the matter,i became addicted to it,i sold my properties to buy drugs for myself,my wife instead sold off my remaining assets and ran off with my two kids.I am now in debt that i cant pay off in my whole life time"Bros T cried the more.

*CONTINUED*
"I wish to retrace my steps but its too late"Bros T and drained his wine.
Clara was in shock,she felt tears trickling down her cheeks.
"Why Tunde"she managed to stammer.
"You just wont understand.You wont Clara.My time is up"he replied and got up,his squinting eyes revealed depression.He looked at Clara for a while, he turned and left.Clara could not stop him and she just dont know why she didnt.She got up too and left.The press were already gathering around her like a beehive.She aggressively told them off and drove off leaving a cloud of dust behind her.She decided to visit Nmachi so she drove straight to Nmachi house.
~~~
"Nmachi"she called out and opened the bedroom door.She paused in shock.She met Derek and Nmachi on the bed."Nmachi"she muttered in shock and turned and left.
She entered behind the car wheel and rubbed off the tears gathering in her eyes.She drove immediately to her house.As soon as she alighted,the gateman and househelps came to announce to her that Tonye was back.

~CONTINUED~
She quickly rushed into the house and met Tonye sitting down on the sofa,he watching CNN.As soon as he caught sight of her,he stung up and they hugged intimately.
"I miss you mum"
"I miss you too,but you never told me you will be coming"Clara replied.
"Yes,we were given a long holiday so i decided to come back and spend the one month holiday with my sweet mum.where is dad"?Tonye asked.He was taller and more handsome.His three piece grey suit fitted him perfectly,his suede italian shoes complimented his comfortable stride.He looked older than his age 21.
Clara bursted into tears at Tonye question.She fell on his chest and wept on it.
"Why are you crying mum"He asked and led her to a sofaand they settled down.
"Tonye,Derek is cheating on me with my manager and best friend Nmachi"Clara sobbed like a child.
"Which of the Nmachi,is it Somadina Nmachi your friend and manager"Tonye quizzed equivocally,his face was portraying disbelief.
"Yes,just now i was coming back.I saw them on Nmachi bed"Clara cried

~CONTINUED~
"What!are you for real mum"Tonye exclaimed.
"Yes"Clara drew Tonye closer and cried on his shoulders.
Tonye started consoling her.Soon her phone rang,it was Bro Lanre.She picked up the receiver.
"Hello"she said.
"Clara,can you come over to my house,mum wants to see you"Lanre said over the phone.
"For what"
"Mum demands your presence tomorrow"
"What does she want,what did this woman who did not attend her only daughter wedding wants from me"Clara reeled out angrily.
"Calm down Clara,just come over at least and hear all she have to say"
"Tell her to go to hell,and you can escort her there fool"she lashed out hung up the receiver.
"Tonye can you imagine that my mother who refused to attend my wedding said she wants to see me"She said to Tonye.
"Mum,no one is going to hell in Jesus Name"Tonye replied.
"Is that all you have to say"Clara asked in annoyance.
"You will go to see your mum tomorrow.I will drive you to Uncle Lanre house tomorrow"
"Tonye!!"Clara screamed.
"you will go to see her"Tonye ended.

*CONTINUED*
"Are you commanding me or what"Clara seethed.Tonye got up and ran upstairs."You need to see her,it is divine"he said as he ran along.Clara flung her shoes at him but he ducked it and disappeared out of sight.
Clara sat down in tears and continued brooding.
Tonye came back only to meet Clara crying dejectedly.He came closer and sat beside her.He held her hand.
"Mum,stop crying please.It breaks my heart whenever you are crying"he consoled.He had changed to a white loose gown.
"I aborted for Derek,yes,he made me childless.He called a quack bastard to damage my womb,now he have turned around and stabbed me"Clara lamented.
"Mum,its okay.Just stop crying,it wont solve anything"
"Tonye let me cry to my satisfaction.I was warned but i never heed to the warning.Tonye i requested for the music so let me dance to its rhythm but God will punish Derek.He will suffer for this"
"God forbid.nobody will suffer.You failed to retrace your step back to God.You strayed from him mum.you ran away from God"Tonye said

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
Clara kept crying as Tonye admonished her.
"You did not ask God before you take decisions mum"Tonye continued.
"Tonye if God loves me,why did he allow all this happen to me"?Clara lamented"why did he not warn me"she added.
"Thats the mistake a lot of people make.God created all human independent just like he is,he allows us to make decisions that suit us,he allows to take actions without he interfering.He is not an imperial God,but all he wants from us is to consult him before we take any decisions or action,yet if we choose not to involve him in our matters then he wont.If you expect God to strike anybody dead once he or she defaults then we miss it there.He do not want any sinner to die,he will wait for us to travel miles for solution and knowledge but he will welcome home us when come back home to him.Mum, you did not involve in your affair so he wont meddle into it.That is the reason why the world is in disarray because no one bothers to involve God in their daily affairs"Tonye said.

*CONTINUED*
The door opened and Derek came in.Clara got up immediately and rushed to him.She gripped him on his shirt.
"Derek what have i done to you that you decide to do this evil to me"Clara cried loudly hitting him.All the househelps gathered at the scene.Tonye came closer and tried to release Clara grip."Its okay mum"he said quietly.
"I did no wrong Clara.I am not feeling sorry for what i did.You are just useless in this house"Derek replied.Tonye,was stunned at his piercing reply.
"My mum is not useless in Jesus name"Tonye replied.
"Who is your mum?this barren witch!Tonye or whatever is your name;You are a bastard"Derek seethed and tried to push Clara away from him.Clara slapped him and he slapped her twice.Tonye wriggled Clara out of his grip and held her tight.The rest househelps came to stem the scuffle.Clara lost her tempe as she jumped on Derek and hit him harder with all her strength.Derek too retaliated with punches.Tonye pulled Clara and dragged her upstairs.Derek was heaving in anger.

Too bad for Derek I hope Clara retraces her step on time

Hantonia:

The next day,Tonye drove reluctant Clara to Lanre house,it was some minute drive from Banana Island to Lekki Phase One where Lanre resides.As soon as they entered into Lanre modest edifice,she met Folarin and Pelumi at the vast sitting room discussing.As she entered,they all got up and hugged her.Lanre emerged some minutes later with their seventy years old mother.They all prostrated to greet her,and she sat down.
Mama soon cleared her throat and started.
"Pelumi,Lanre and Folarin,i am proud of the three of you.You people stood for Christ despite tribulations and temptations"
The three brothers applauded their mother and giggled.
"I call this meeting to talk to Semilore and Omotunde but where is Omotunde"Mrs Beecroft said.They all looked at themselves before Clara narrated all Tunde had told her.Mama was crying and they all consoled her.
"Semilore is having a problem in her marriage i warned against,Tunde wandered away from God and told me to my face that no God exist"Mrs Beecroft cried.

sin and it's repercussion.

*CONTINUED*
Clara bowed her head in shame.
"I and your father did our possible best to bring all of you up in the way of the Lord but the two younger ones deviated from it.Semilore was meant to be a doctor and Tunde is to study architecture.If Clara had gone for medicine,will she have found that Derek to marry,yshe treaded the wrong route.If Tunde had gone to study architecture,things wouldnt have gone rough this way"
They all nodded except Clara who was still bowing in shame.
"No one can pursue a good thing outside Christ.A life without Christ is full of crises.Semilore now tell me;The whole billions you have made,does that guarantee you peace"Mrs Beecroft asked.
"No it didnt."Clara affirmed.
"With the whole books and wealth Tunde have acquired,did it guarantee him peace?Ofcourse no"Mrs Beecroft replied.
"The deed have been done so all we clamour for now is solution"Bro Pelumi came in.
"Yes my son.Clara you and Tunde need to return back to Christ,he is waiting to welcome you home to himself"Mrs Beecroft said

*CONTINUED*
"Mum is that why you called me"Clara asked.
"I call you here to tell you who you really are.You are a covenant child"Mrs Beecroft said
"I always here that times immemorial.Say something new"Clara said indifferently.
"I want to tell you the circumstances surrounding your birth.I and your father decided to quit childbearing after giving birth to your four brothers.I gave birth to Tunde through Caesarean operation that is why i treated him with concern.I cried in labour for four days before giving birth to Tunde.After that,the doctor warned i and your father not to give birth again,and i went for family planning.Then after six years,your father came back home sombrely and told me that a prohet then in our former church where your father went to minister that day told him that one of his children was seperated unto God as a covenant.Your father came back home with the prophet the next day to show him the covenant child,the prophet told him the child is yet to come.Unkwown to us that i was pregnant..

*CONTINUED*
"I never knew i was pregnant until i started developing some body pains before i went to hospital to discover i was six weeks pregnant.I started crying because i thought i will face the pains i faced at the birth of Tunde.Nine months came and without stress i gave birth to you Clara right in the kitchen while i was cooking.Then we were in Zamfara where your father was serving as a missionary,your father called a midwife who helped me deliver the baby.At eight days a white woman missionary gave us a story about the lady with a broken vessel which i told all of you before.While growing up,Clara won a lot of bible competition and my husband love you very much.We thought you will acheive your purpose in life not until this moment.I just realised that Clara was not born again,she was only just merely religious,yes we did not make sure she got born again,she was only just leaving by the principle laid down for her"Mrs Beecroft said.Clara got up in anger,hissed and left the room.Tonye drove he home.

Ride u. Great

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
Folarin parked his car outside the compound,he and David entered into the compound.The house was in its antiquities and it looked dilapidated.Some offensive odour possessed the air.Povery was at it apex in this compound.
They met an old man in the compound,he was seating on a raffia chair.
David skimmed around to be sure he was in the right destination.Yes he was,the compound havent changed a bit just that it looked more medieval now.He was sure this way Ella's house.Ella was his girlfriend in his university years.
They approached the old man and greeted him.He responded and sat well to respond to them.
"I am looking for an old woman who lived here with her only daughter who was pregnant"David said.
"The old woman with a pregnant daughter..Thats quite a long time,i can remember that useless love-vendor died during childbirth.She left her bastard of a son for her old wretched mother to take care of"the old man replied maliciously.David and Folarin exchanged glance at the vulgarity of the man.
