After about seven minutes, another call came through. 

"What are you waiting for?Why the delay? Send the account number and bank right now." 

It was the same woman.

 "Excuse me ..." 

The line was dead before I could finish my sentence. What an impatient woman. I decided to call the number. 

She picked on the second ring.

 "Hello, madam. I think you got the wrong number," I quickly said. 

"But this is the number you gave to me at the supermarket this morning. My ATM had issues, I was short of cash and you bailed me out. Now, I want to pay you back as I promised." 

I shook my head as if she was physically there to see me. 

"There's a mix up, madam. I was not the person. I've not been to any supermarket today."

 "Hmn, some Nigerian men will not stop amazing me," she countered. "Is it that you're so proud you don't want  to receive repayment from a woman or what?" 

I chuckled. "I will gladly receive payment from you if I was the man. But then, I was not the person. Thanks for your time madam." 

There was no further response, so I cut the line. If I thought that was the end of the conversation, I was wrong. 

A couple of minutes later, she called again. 

"Hello, madam," I started.

 "Do you know who's calling?" she asked. 

Again, I was bemused. "Yes, you are the woman who thought I was the man that she met in the supermarket this morning."  

She laughed shortly. 

Was that funny?

Emi L'okan: The Audacity of Entitlement

Toyin Raphael


The declaration of 'Emi L'okan' by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu means different things to different people. In the current phase of the state of polity, Nigerians await the best.





Nigeria, being the biggest democracy in Africa has always attracted global interest. By January, 2022, a lot of interests were building up towards the 2023 general elections. The ruling party, the All Progressive Congress wanted to hold on to the reign of power while the main opposition party, the People's Democratic Party (PDP) angled to come back to power. There were speculations as to whether the national leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu would contest or not.

On January 10, 2022, Tinubu formally declared his intention to run for the highest office in the land after he met with President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House in Abuja. When he met with State House correspondents, Tinubu said it was his age-long ambition to be the Head of the country.

When asked if President Buhari supported his ambition, Tinubu said: 'He is a democrat. He didn't ask me to stop. He didn't ask me not attempt and pursue my ambition. It is a lifelong ambition; so why do I expect him to say more than that? You are running a democratic dispensation, and you must adopt the principles and the values and the virtues of democracy. That's it.'

On the role of being a kingmaker who now wanted to be the king, Tinubu had this to say: 'About the cap of the kingmaker, I've never seen the cap of a kingmaker before. That's the truth. And I've never seen where it is written in the rule book anywhere in any country that a kingmaker cannot be a king unless you commit murder. So, whatever is your attribute is your own opinion. I want to pursue my ambition without the title of a kingmaker. You can write your literature and your story based upon your own perception.'

With these words, Tinubu had affirmed that he was in the Presidential race for good.

The voice sounded like a mature woman's own.

 "Oh, I'm sorry to disturb, madam. I'll call later." 

About thirty minutes later, I called again. 

This time, Sharon picked it. "Big Aunty told me you called minutes ago," she started. "How are you?" 

"Fine. I called to find out how you are too."

 "I'm fine. Thanks for calling." 

We chatted a bit more before cutting the line. My mind went to Precious. Shouldn't I try to see her mother as soon as possible? I could go to their church the following day to worship. 

After the Sunday service, I would see her. That Saturday afternoon, I was watching a live football match when my phone rang. I picked it up almost immediately. 

"Good afternoon," I greeted.

 "Send the account number to me  and send it right away so I can do transfer." 

Before I could say anything, the line was disconnected. I was bemused by the caller. I wasn't expecting any payment from any body, so I ignored the message. 

After about seven minutes, another call came through. 

"What are you waiting for?Why the delay? Send the account number and bank right now." 

It was the same woman.

 "Excuse me ..."

I sighed. "Of course, I do, darling. How could you doubt me?"

"If you really love me, prove it."

Now, I was getting exasperated. "Have I not been proving it all this while?"

She shook her head and placed it on my chest.

"You can take it," she said gently.

"Take what?"

"You can take my virginity."

I was aghast. "What! But, we've agreed that one will wait till we are married."

She shook her head again. "No need to wait again. You can have me now."

I was not comfortable with her luscious offer. When she first told me that she was a virgin, I had expressed admiration. At her age, she was like a pearl among sands.

Now, she was professing that she was ready to lose her virginity. Well, I wasn't the kind of man to jump at such an offer.

But then, as a man, the temptation was high. The flesh was indeed weak. When her lips came to mine for a long French kiss, I did not resist the gesture.

She put my right hand on her boob. It was a licence granted to explore the enticing part. I found myself buckling. My mind swirled in thoughts. It is not easy to be a man of one's words.

But, why is it not easy? Are human actions not products of the mind? Perhaps the mind is weak. That is why it will resolve to do something one moment and will forget that very resolution the next moment. I asked in my mind if my resolves were so weak.

I instantly removed my hand from her boob and stopped the kiss.

"It is better we keep to our initial agreement," I said, quite breathless. "My dear, let's keep to the agreement."

She looked at me for a long time. Without saying a word, she stood and moved towards the bedroom.

"Good night," I said after her.

She did not respond. I shrugged it off and decided it was time to sleep. I had a long, sweet sleep.

It was few minutes to eight in the morning when I woke up. I decided to see Precious in the bedroom and to ask her what we would take for breakfast.

In the bedroom, I met an empty bed. May be she was in the toilet/bathroom. I checked the place but she was not there.

Could she be in the kitchen? I went to check the place.

"Precious?" There was no answer and she was not there.

Christianity EtcRe: Good News by goodness4ever(op): 3:59pm On Jun 04, 2023
In the Gospel of John, Jesus states "I am the good shepherd" in two verses, John 10:11 and 10:14.

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn't own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep, and scatters them. The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand, and doesn't care for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I'm known by my own; even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep, which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd. Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father.

— John 10:11–18

GodPraise:
Pss.5
[1] Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
[2] Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
[3] My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
[4] For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
[5] The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
[6] Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
[7] But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
[8] Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
[9] For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
[10] Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
[11] But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
[12] For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
