Congrats Bro

tremzy07:
Thanks for the response. If this list you made is what eventually comes out, then it seems I made it. Fingers crossed though. Thank you so much for the information. Wishing us all the best.

Awww.. Congrats. By the way what's your name up there

tremzy07:
Nice one. Well done. While we wait for the official list to be out, do you have an idea how the judging works from previous years? For Instance is it the person with the most likes who wins? Also how many finalists would be selected?

Thanks for the information.

Thanks. The finalist were not chosen based on content. They just used the public to screen out over 500 entries. Modupe Kuti who won last year's own was firstly surprised to see her name in top 50 and later finalist because her votes weren't as high as expected.
Are you one of the fifty?

Who do you think will make it to the top 20

On December 3rd the Etisalat Flash Fiction 2016 ended the public voting of entries. The competition was rigorous as people employed various method to scout for votes. However after everything someone must emerge the winner. But before the winner would be announced, Etisalat has promised they would present the shortlist tomorrow, Tuesday, 6th December. I know it could be exciting, I even competed but didn't meet up the number of the lowest 100 which was exactly 100 votes.
However, on this list we have the lowest as high 240 votes. There were some people who didn't get any vote in this competition.
If the system would follow the rule stipulated for the Etisalat Flash Ficrion 2016, here is a list of the expected top 50 that would be seen in Etisalat Flash Fiction 2016 shortlist, ones I meticulously compiled.

Verse 2
I first to dey suffer
But he brought me out of the gutter
Ajepako turned me to butter
Me nobody turned into Oga
He no dey forsake me, he no dey fail
He no dey frustrate me
He dey my side and nothing can shake me
And nah my rock so nothing can break me
Nah him be my father
On top him head he carry my matter
And when I call he always dey answer
My God ooooo
See as he bless me, I wan give up but God no let me
Everybody please truly hear this testimony

The Lord is my shepherd
Nah him be my shepherd
Repeat Chorus
I first to dey suffer
My bread don butter
He took me from nothing
And turn me to something
Man can fail me
Money can fail me
Hustle can fail me
But God no dey fail
They say make I dey there
Dem say I go fail
But God don say yes
Nobody can say no

Her Dangerous Wish

Let me write 5 episode for you.....


This was written by Mobolaji's request- dedicated to her.

Episode 1
By the time I finish this tale, I would have made up my mind on what to do. I would have known if I should go to the council of pastors first or if I should say it in front of the whole church to tell them the whole truth'.
Good! You're suspecting me already. Ehn... Whatever might have happened you need to hear my part. I didn't just start redirecting church's money for my use. It started like Judas Iscariot- like a drop of water.
That blessed or unblessed day, I was in my office thinking of my wife. Her picture was staring at me and I was also doing the same. I stared at it again and frowned. No..Don't get me wrong. I didn't fight her prior to this time. I only frowned because my wife had suddenly become twice her former size. Who does that? At first I accommodated this new look but when I talked about it, she nagged about it, asking me if I married her for her beauty or because God told me to. Then, I agreed with her that she was right- her slenderness wasn't what I married. I didn't fall for the elegance with which she carried herself. In those days, she was the vision of many brothers in church. Though she had a good voice, she taught in the Sunday school department. Her voice, use of English, humility and knowledge were what attracted me to her then. However, after I had been able to convince myself that I was also attracted to her body, I changed my tactics and began to ask her to work out. I even began to do mine; in fact, many young ladies in the church had began to hint that I was really building up. But she refused to workout, claiming she couldn't wake early to workout. And we've had several arguments about this but she refused to heed my advice.

I was still engrossed in my wife's case, when my secretary contacted me through the intercom that I had a visitor. In case I've not told you, I was a full time pastor who devoted most of his time to counseling, settling disputes and doing deliverance for people in Jesus name.
' Tell the person to come in', I said, sat straight and adjusted my tie. It was wrong for the person seeking counsel to find a scowl on my face. It would make them close their emotions, analysing me. And they might even be forced to ask if I was fine.
Then, the door opened or should I say my woe entered. Her name is Margaret. I knew her name because many brothers had sought my counsel about her. They wanted me to pray along with them because, in their words, God had been telling them a lot about how he would use the union of the two of them to shake the world. Someone even said God wanted them to give birth to angels. I remembered her because I had once compared her to my wife but had been wise enough not to mention her name to my wife.
As she came nearer, I couldn't help but notice how her blue gown brought our her shape. I shook my head as my mind went there. And quoted the scriptures silently.
' Job 31.. I have made a covenant with my eyes why then should I think upon a maid'.
I rose as I welcomed her.' Welcome sister Margaret'.
' Thank you pastor', she said, flashing a dazzling sets of teeth.
' How are you?'
' Hmmm... Pastor... I'm not fine'.
Now, it was time for business. I pushed a bible towards me, though I wouldn't really need it.' What's happening sister Margaret?'
' It's a big problem. One I have tried to get over'.
' Don't worry about it. It's my job to make sure it doesn't disturb you anymore. God is in control here'.
' Hmmm. Pastor...' She said and went silent. I expected that we would first brush other matters before we even dealt with whatever she wanted us to discuss. But now that she had turned the table, I had to take control. Else, I wouldn't be bold enough to tackle her matter or I may stutter.
' Say it... God is in charge'.
' Okay, Pastor, I used to tell myself I wanted that special person to deflower me'.
' That's a very good decision. It shows you have loved righteousness and hated iniquity. God will surely bless you above you fellows'.
' Amen. But I've started having problem with a man of recent'.
' You've slept with him?'
' No... '
' So what do you mean?'
' You see, since I got to this church 6 months ago, I've been rejecting different proposal'.
I was perplexed. I had never thought she came to this church six months ago. She was so active. She loved God.
' I had refused them because of this man I am talking about. I know it's a bad thing. He's married. He's married'.
' Oh... Sister Margaret. God has his plans for everyman. Your husband would also find you''.
' Pastor, you don't understand. I've never felt this unusual urge towards any man before. I want that man to deflowered before'.
' Sister Margaret, the Bible called that inordinate affection'.
' I don't even mind if its lust'.
'Ahhh... Sister Margaret. That's not right. And who is this brother in question? I'm sure I'll know him. I hope it's not Bro. Segun. I've been suspecting that he leads a lot of ladies on', I said rapidly as I felt a need to cast out the demons in that brother. He had been having issues with the church ladies- many of them had complained about him seducing them. I thought it was high time I did deliverance for him.
' Pastor, it's you'.

To be continued.
