2. Olawunmi Olaniyi, the shortest girl then......

Hi, you were the new girl that broke your way into the group of boys leading the class. I wasn't one of them, in fact I was on trials because my parents insisted I remained in the class.
When you joined us, I was struggling to be among the top five but with you and Uncle Bayo and Uncle Sola, I came to the top.

Remember those times we were the top 3 in school, how we won competitions and the fight for the first became a battle between me and you. Junior and Ahmed had to battle for the third...

My first sight of you, even when you've been with us for while, was the day I came late and went to drop my bag in the class. Our headmaster wanted only our class to read the multiplication table.

You were brilliant, I knew but to the principal you were new. Immediately the class started it, I knew you have been left behind.

Rudely, the principal yelled, 'stop...You.... What happened?
'They jumped me', you said.

But the principal thought otherwise. 'This is why we ask parents not to make children jump a class'.

Though you tried explaining things, he wouldn't listen. There, I connected with you, hoping to reach out to your soul. I think that was when I first became aware of love, you..

I would think of you all night and see you in movies, hold your hands like they did. Oh! That was when the film Ife Otito or Ododo came out. That film was so touching.... It was you I imagined when I eventually tried to play. Instead, I was injured. When I reported, Uncle Sola flogged, me, you, and Junior. Well, the bully pushed Junior and me because we assumed we were special. We were prepping for another competition. This became one of the reasons I later played less.
Later, we went for the competition and came 2,3&4. Two students from a school came 1st and 5th. This position was the highlight of our graduation when they gave us a bucket and a bowl, wrapped in a brown paper.

I remember us going to your house and we're being monitored by your beautiful sister. I remember your large house and the trees around it.

Then, I saw this 200 naira on the road and used it to buy you greeting card. Adura saw it and told the whole class. You wanted it but the rumour was beyond you, making you return it.
You won't believe I took it to a river and prayed to God. When we graduated and I saw another girl in Jss1, I couldn't tell her my feeling because you were on mind.

So, you will understand my pain when I saw you, and was expecting a warm welcome from you, after my sister told me of your consistently inquiry about me. I was bemused and sad. I wore my best cloth that day, even though Nepa refused to restore power for ironing, just to see you.

I decided to give up on you. Distance has played its role in breaking us up before we began. I'm sure you had that joy in you, when you learnt I came to Fuoye some 8 years later and texted me. I wish I switched the phone on in time, that I knew what to say, that I could see you again.

It was painful and that's why I write this to you. And that stupid message I sent about Knowing you are happy in any relationship you were. I think of you, not everyday, but any time I see a book from old times.

1. Cele Pastor Wife, Osogbo.....



Dear ma,
I know I was like 4 years when I first laid eyes on you. Very few people knew what ran in the mind of four years but I was one of your crushes. I can't remember your name but I know the church was one of those that branched from Cele.

I can't remember your face but I remember how I googled at your beauty. And your poise. I remember staying back just to see you and most of the time I got home late, making me hungry and weak.

There was a time we went for a naming ceremony, I think you were to lead something or was in the choir, I stood near the pianist and that was where I found my love for music. I got sick that day because for a whole day I sat beside the pianist to watch him play.

Once in a while, I remember watching you and smiles flood my eyes.

I was given this movie, which I'm yet to see and felt intrigued to write to everyone I ever loved. This is therapeutic for me. I want to release some feelings I'm yet to understand.

MrBrownJay1:
xtians shouldnt look after money, tthats the least of their purpose in life.... fake xtians everywhere!

Don't mind them jare, especially those judgemental ones...

After 70 days fasting and prayer, I have come to the conclusion that: do as you're led.

I thank God for those that remember *Karma* and how its *K* can mean Knife (sword) of Justice...
I thank God for the beauty of everyday. They almost look the same or is it that my eyes have stopped beholding their glow?

I thank God for politicians and their escorts- both those in secret service and providing secret services. I trust that he'll, one day, open their eyes before their actions put them in the spotlight.
I thank God for those hungry and can only be filled with gossips. I trust he might soon push them to the Headline, where people will talk about the "creases" of their heads.

I thank God for those I owe. Your faces all look hard. Together, we'll attack my debtors...�
Lastly, I thank God for creating us on the 6th day. That's why we love parties, concerts, and vigils. It reminds us that we're humans.

But I will always choose my bed over those three...
