Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank has said that a plot to assassinate the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and his Campaign Director General, Sen. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, at a campaign ground in one of the northern states has been exposed.
Frank, has however, written to the international community to call President Muhammadu Buhari to order and to inform the world that if anything happens to the duo of Atiku and Saraki or any of the PDP leaders at any political rally, the government of APC should be held responsible.
The letter addressed to the United Nations, the African Union, the American government, the governments of the United Kingdom and Canada among others, is also to inform the world on the harassment and persecution of some key opposition leaders in Nigeria in the name of fighting corruption by the Buhari-led administration.

Raising the alarm in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja, Timi Frank, said information available to his group through intelligence and sources within the rank and file of the security agencies, revealed the plot by the current administration to arrange some hoodlums to disrupt one of the PDP presidential rallies at a particular .....,.......

16. Respect Her Boundaries (And Enforce Your Own)
Tying into enthusiastic consent, you want to respect your partner’s boundaries.

People are complicated, often contradictory beasts. We all have limits and things that we just cannot or will not do… and they aren’t always logical or may not even make sense to an outside party. But just because we don’t necessarily understand the reason or motivation for somebody’s boundaries doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t respect them… especially when sex is involved.

Everyone has things that are a hard “no” to them while others may be a “not yet” while still others could well be negotiated under the right circumstances. Each person has the right to determine where his or her limits are and how firm they are, no matter whether they seem entirely logical and reasonable or completely absurd. It’s not up to you to decide which things are ok to push against which other things aren’t. This means not trying to manipulate her, guilt her or otherwise apply social pressure like “freeze-outs” and other anti-Last Minute Resistance techniques. This is coercion, not consent.

But respecting boundaries doesn’t just mean hers; it means yours as well… and you should be willing to enforce them as needed. Just as she is free to draw the line and not be pushed past it, so too are you. Many guys I know live in fear of the Paradise By the Dashboard Light moment, being brought up short in what seems like the worst possible minute and making sex conditional on agreeing to a relationship, marriage or some other unwanted transaction. Still others worry about being led on by someone who wants to manipulate them through their junk, perpetually leading them on by keeping the promise of sex just tantalizingly out of reach. And these are all areas where you have to be willing to say “no” and hold firm. You don’t make a fuss or accuse them of trying to pull anything. Just refuse to play; don’t let yourself be guilted, taunted or teased into giving in.

Does it mean you’re giving up the possibility of sex with this person? Well… yes. Sometimes the price of enforcing your boundaries means not screwing manipulative people. Trust me, this is a feature, not a bug and you’ll be much happier for it.

EPISODE 20

Chinedu picked Iphey up at seven after work on a Friday evening. Iphey wore
black pants, a burgundy camisole and black short sleeved classy jacket. Today
was special and so it deserved special attention. It was three months since she
had got together with Chinedu and everyday was a revelation of how good they
were together. She smiled to herself as she went to the ladies and slipped on
silver filigree earrings, slid on some gloss and did her eye makeup sprinkling
loose powder sparsely on her face.
Chinedu waited for her downstairs and she traipsed down in her heels and got
into his car, smiling a hello and buckling her seatbelt as they headed for Surulere
to one of the tasteful fast food places on Adeniran Ogunsanya way. They ordered
and began chatting idly about their families, careers, hobbies and values, Iphey
chatted on with no guile and Chinedu listened enraptured.
He murmured and added words that showed he was focused on the
conversation as opposed to some of the other guys and rich wannabes she had
been out with. He was not like most guys; he did not pretend to hear what she
was saying and then launch into his own project and he actually listened to her.
He must have a lot of practice she thought and then she stopped talking as
she noticed he was watching her intently, different emotions moving across his
face, too fast for her to decipher.
She stopped talking and laughed at Chinedu.
“What‟s up? You are staring at me like…” she shook her head then waved her
hand in front of her face “…I can‟t explain the look.”
Chinedu glanced at her his gaze open and his look sincere.
“I am looking at you because…” he pausing swallowing, an Adam apple she
hardly saw bobbing at his throat “I am humbled because I know that I could
never have met you in twenty lifetimes if God did not lead you to me”.
Iphey looked her Chinedu, blinked, looked at him again, she couldn’t stop the
tears that came to her eyes. She wanted to laugh but instead she just said, ”you
know you drive me crazy right?”
He just stroked the hand she laid on his thigh.
She smiled through the tears and blubbered, “when I think I have you figured,
you find a way to break my defenses however small they are…”
“Iphey…”
“Wait, let me finish…” she blinked to clear her eyes. “I wanted to give you
a chance but I needed to do it on my own terms…” she looked away like
he caught her in a lie or something, “…with barriers so I could maintain
a resemblance of safety. But every time I think I am safe, secure, you slam
through my defenses like they’re a pack of cards, disarming me with simple
gestures, simple words.”
“Listen to me…”
“No let me finish.” Iphey shook her head. “I can‟t but reveal all of me to
you…” she sighed in exasperation “…you make it impossible for me to
hold anything back from you”.
“Iphey…”
“Please, let me get it all off my chest, I have feelings for you. I fought it with
all I had like I do everything else, I looked for everything, every reason why I
couldn‟t be with you, I counseled me, gave me all the logical equations that
should make sense but it all failed and I am afraid…” she shook visibly “…I am
in love with you.”
Chinedu could not keep quiet after that declaration. “Iphey, I love you too.
Sometimes I feel it so much it scares me. That was what kept me coming back to
you even at those early stages you were so busy pushing me away. I am in love
with you too and I promise to do everything within my power to keep your heart
safe.”
Iphey wiped away the tears that had started dripping again. “Every passion I
feel is reserved for you alone,” she murmured her eyes glittering, her gaze was
trapped in Chinedu‟s.
Chinedu laughed and said, “Iphey, I want to grow old with you, I may not be
perfect but be reassured that I love you more than my life.”
Iphey laughed and then she murmured “I can be so silly and
fussy sometimes…” she muttered looking down and then she gazed into his
eyes. ”I am not usually like this, you bring out the unusual in me.”
“No Iphey…” Chinedu protested as he gazed into her eyes reassuring her ”I
love you cheerful or crying, it‟s an adventure getting to know you and love all the
different parts of you.”
“Chinedu…”
“Iphey”
Iphey turned her gaze on Chinedu and he froze in place, her heart slammed in
her chest as she noticed the effect she had on him; and she wondered at the
power he had over her. There was this great upheaval inside her and she knew
that come what may, she would always be connected to Chinedu. There was no
stopping this and no running away any longer; it was time she faced up to it.
“Chinedu, everyday with you is an adventure and it‟s the ride of my life, I
don‟t know what tomorrow holds but I know this, God has got us…”
“Iphey, the first day I saw you, I knew you were meant for me…” He paused
as he saw Iphey frozen in fear, visibly shaking, he drew in a sharp breath and
“…I know it has taken a while, me getting you to believe in me and what I am
about…” he gazed steadily into her eyes, ”…but even though I am not certain
what the future holds, I know great things are in store for us, there is so much
promise and so much greatness ahead of us, all we need to do is take each day as
it comes trusting ourselves and trusting in God.”
Iphey smiled and seemed about to speak and then thought to herself, „This
man is the man of my dreams, I am in such a wealthy place, my fears still speak,
they tell me if I ever lost him, but would fall; my faith though speaks louder, it
tells me this man was created just for me and that if I can just take God‟s hands
and trust him, we are in for the greatest adventure ever lived‟
Iphey smiled and hugged Chinedu with everything she had in her
slight frame.
He pulled away slightly after a short kiss and looked into her face. Iphey
noticed he was avoiding looking into her eyes.
“What is it?” She asked.
“Nothing.” He hedged.
“Nedu spit it out,” she laughed. “I know you too well. What are you trying to
hide from me?”
He laughed and finally met her gaze. Chinedu took a deep breath and took
both her hands. “I did not plan to say this today or here or even this way…”
Iphey was confused. Was this the end? After the happy declarations of a few
minutes ago? “Chinedu, what is it? Did I say something wrong?”
“No, no, of course not!” He moved closer. “You said and did everything
right…” His phone began to ring. He did not even look at it before switching it
off. He paused again.
“Chinedu, please tell me. Whatever it is, just say it!”
“OK, OK.” Chinedu took another deep breath. “I want to marry you Iphey, I
want you to be my wife…”
Her lips were rounding open by this time. Iphey’s breath came quick and fast,
and she pressed both their hands under her breast as if to stop her racing heart.
“Iphey will you marry me?”

EPISODE 18

Jewel was seen alone in his room.
He was lying on his bed. Henry was
not yet back. A knock sounded on
the door. He stood up from his bed
and went to the door. He opened it to
find Francis at the door.
“hey Francis” he said.
“I need your advice Jewel” Francis
said.
“what is it? please come in.” Jewel
said and gave way for him to enter.
Francis entered and sat on Jewel’s
bed. Jewel sat down beside him.
“what is it Francis” Jewel asked.
“is it possible to date someone who
sees you only as a friend. how can
you let her know that you want to be
more than just a friend” Francis said.
“why do you asked?”
“nothing, I just want to know” Francis
said.
“Francis I can’t help you if you don’t
tell me the truth.” Jewel said.
“okay, it’s Lucy. I like her. I like her a
lot, but unfortunately, she only sees
me as a friend.” Francis said.
“it’s very possible for her to see you
differently, but it depends on how
you go about it.” Jewel said.
“what should I do then?” Francis
asked.
“okay, listen carefully” Jewel said.
Francis moved closer to Jewel and
listened with keen interest as Jewel
lectured him on what to do for Lucy
to start seeing him differently. Out of
the numerous things that Jewel said,
he took note of one important things.
And that’s, he should not be too
predictable.
He left Jewel room with the aim of
putting what he learned into practice.
***************************************
Everyone sat down quietly in class,
waiting for Daniel who said he has
an important information to pass.
Daniel walked into the class few
minutes later. He went straight to the
podium and face the class.
“I received an important information
from 300 level students. There will
be an intra departmental quiz next
week. Two students are to represent
each class. All other classes have
already selected their two
representative except for us. I don’t
know why our course adviser hasn’t
informed us of the quiz yet. There’s
no time anymore. we need to prepare
for it. so I am suggesting we should
vote right now to select the two
students that will represent us.”
Daniel said.
Jessica tapped Angel who was
sitting beside her at the far left.
“I thought you said that Dr. Femi has
already chosen you and Jewel.”
Jessica said.
“yes, but he told us not to mention it
to anyone.” Angel responded.
“but they are about to select two
students that will represent us.”
Jessica said.
“let them vote for who they want. if
the course adviser still want us to
represent the class, he will address
the class” Angel responded.
“okay, if you say so” Jessica said.
They focused their attention back on
Daniel who was still standing in front
of the class.
They all voted, and at the end of the
vote, Daniel and Henry were chosen
to represent the class. They stood in
front of the class and were
applauded. Dr. Femi walked into the
class a minute later. He went straight
to the podium and faced the class.
“there will be an intra level quiz next
week and two students will be
selected to represent your class.” Dr.
Femi said.
“we have already done that sir”
Daniel said.
“when?” Dr. Femi asked.
“just now” Daniel responded.
“whoever was chosen don’t need to
bother. I will select who will
represent your class.” Dr. Femi said.
“Jewel and Angel should stand up”
he ordered.
Angel and Jewel stood up
immediately.
“both of you will represent your
class” Dr. Femi said.
The look on Daniel and Henry’s face
when Dr. Femi said that was not
funny at all.
“so I want everyone to support them
in anyway you can. A win for them,
is a win for everyone.” Dr. Femi
continued.
Dr. Femi left the class immediately
he passed the information.
Daniel walked to meet Jewel
immediately Dr. Femi left and shook
hands with him.

If you don’t want her staying over — or you want to get back to your place, after — then you need to establish this early. This means before sex starts. You don’t have to make an elaborate production of it, just mention “I really want to do this, but just so you know I have an early meeting/ have to be up stupid early/ have to walk and feed my dog.” Not only will she understand — both the actual need and the underlying message — but odds are she’ll be relieved; it takes the pressure off you both from having the awkward .”..sooooo” moment once the possibility of just one more go-round has faded.

Regardless of whether you stay or go, the next day you owe her a text at the very least. It doesn’t have to be elaborate; just a very simple “Hey, I just wanted you to know, I had a great time with you last night.” That’s it; a simple acknowledgement that you enjoyed yourself and you appreciate her involvement. If you’re not planning on seeing her again, then just leave it there; don’t make any empty promises of “let’s do it again some time” that you don’t actually mean. The post-sex text is a small thing, but it goes a very long way to saying that you see her as a person, someone who was your partner in this, not just a intimacy gadget to be used and discarded

Okay lets see

BUT! This doesn’t mean that you can view her orgasm as a secondary concern. Instead of treating orgasms as the end goal, treat them as part of the process — a part of the pleasure from sex as a whole rather than an attitude of “well, you got yours, now it’s my turn.”

And speaking of orgasms… most men tend to treat their orgasm as the signal that sex is now over, even if it happened earlier than one might hope. And in fairness, when men come, their bodies produce the hormone prolactin which causes us to lose our interest in sex, for our erections to deflate and makes us get sleepy immediately afterwards. But this doesn’t necessarily mean that sex is done — especially if your partner is still revved up and ready to go. Yes, you may have lost your hard on, but your hands and tongue don’t go limp; power through the drowsiness and ensure your partner’s satisfaction. You can both collapse into an exhausted, happy and gloriously sweaty heap afterwards.

And speaking of…

19. Don’t Blow The AfterFire
Regardless of whether it’s a one-night stand or a relationship of long-standing, you have an obligation to manage things after sex as well. At the very least, a gentleman provides a warm washcloth for immediate clean-up, water and a shower afterwards. What you don’t do is immediately try to make your escape or shuffle them out the door. Yeah, you’re worried about whether letting her stay would mean that she’s going to get overly attached. Don’t worry: odds are she’s thinking the exact same thing… especially if you’re a one night stand. She’s about as likely to not want to stay over as you are — after all, nobody likes the awkward morning after with a relative stranger.

EPISODE 17

Henry lay on his bed, waiting for
Jessica. Jessica had earlier called to
inform him that she was coming. He
was about going to the restuarant to
have dinner when he received
Jessica’s call, and decided not to go,
since he believed that Jessica would
bring food along with her. He prefer
eating Jessica’s food than going to
the restuarant to eat. Few minutes
later, a knock sounded on the door.
“that must be her” he said.
He stood up and rushed to the door.
He opened the door to see Jessica
standing at the door. His face curved
in a smile when he realized that
Jessica brought that same handbag
she was with the last time she
visited. That means she brought
food.
‘Jessica never disappoints’ He
thought.
“hi Henry” Jessica said.
“hi” Henry responded.
“please come in”
Jessica entered and sat on Henry
bed. Henry also sat down beside her.
“where is Jewel?” Jessica asked.
“he has not returned yet” Henry
responded.
“okay” she said.
“so what do you want to learn today?”
Henry asked, and hoped that she
would ask them to have dinner first,
because he was really hungry.
But to his surprise, Jessica brought
out her book and showed him the
topic she wants him to explain to
her.
Henry acted cool and collected the
book from her.
Since she wanted him to explain the
topic first, he would do just that.
There’s no need to rush. The food is
here and not running away. When
they are done with the lecture. They
can eat the food then. As for now,
hunger can wait.
Henry began the lecture immediately.
He explained the topic to the best of
his knowledge, and also asked
Jessica questions from time to time,
for him to be sure that she
understood the topic. He spent an
hour and 30minutes explaining the
topic to Jessica. He was very tired
and hungry when he was done. He
couldn’t wait for Jessica to dish the
food so that they can eat.
Jessica opened her handbag and
brought out the food flask. Henry’s
face curved in a smile when he saw
the food flask.
‘so we can now eat’ Henry thought.
Jessica opened the food flask and
looked into in.
“what!” she exclaimed.
“how can my cousin return my food
flask to me without washing it.”
She showed Henry the food flask.
“Henry can you see now. I gave my
cousin food with this food flask, only
for her to return it without washing
it” she said.
Henry didn’t respond. He just stared
at her in disappointment. He was
hoping that she brought food, only
for her to shatter his heart with what
she just said.
Jessica’s face curved in a smile
when she saw the disappointed look
on Henry’s face. Everything she did
was already planned. She knew
Henry would be expecting her to
bring food, but she just had to
disappoint him. She wanted him to
see how important she is to him, and
that was the only way she could
show him. Henry might not notice her
if she doesn’t show him that she is
important to him, and that was the
best way to go about it.
“I will start leaving now” Jessica said
and stood up.

EPISODE 19

“So where were you?” Funmi bit out striding angrily out of Ayo’s office. I left
a file on your desk earlier this morning and now I cannot find it!”
After the discovery of Funmi and Bisi’s alliance this morning, it was easy to
guess how the missing file and all the other ones in the past including other
different things that should have gotten her into trouble happened.
“I did not see any file on my desk,” Iphey replied as she fell into step behind.
“How will you? Going out for lunch and staying two hours!” Funmi turned
around and glared at her. She felt like throttling the other girl’s neck. Bisi had
given her the lowdown on their confrontation and she was mad as hell. Imagine
the small girl, after displacing her friend, she had the guts to stand up to her!
Well Bisi could blame herself for trying to befriend her in the first place. See
where that had gotten her.
“It wasn’t like…” Iphey began.
“Pschewwwww,” Funmi hissed. By now they were standing in front of her
office. “Just find that file!” She snapped testily and then left Iphey standing there.
She stalked in and slammed the door behind her.
Iphey walked to the water dispenser and pressed out some water in a white
plastic cup and headed to her desk. She walked gingerly since it seemed even her
steps annoyed some people to no end. Iphey laughed inside, her time in the
ladies before searching for Funmi showed that she was still looking great. But
more than that she felt great inside. After the last few hours, she was in no mood
for more drama today.
It was like the day had flown by, so many things had happened, one
revelation after another. After Bisi, she had shrugged it off to focus on better
things and something beautiful had really come her way. She sashayed as behind
her mind‟s eye she could see Chinedu, tall, dark and handsome. Such men were
a dime a dozen, but Chinedu stood out from the rest, his features were imprinted
in her head so even if she closed her eyes, she could still see him and it was weird
but it seemed like they were connected.
Iphey smiled. She was working alright, but only just managing to concentrate.
Half of her mind was on Chinedu. She could not even remember what the
reasons for her not wanting to go out with him in the first place were. Yes, he
had a shady history but he had showed himself to be an honorable man so far
and those were the qualities that really mattered to her.
“A penny for your thoughts,” Tunde from marketing teased her, you are
grinning like the cat that got the cream.”
Iphey laughed. Tunde thought it a contagious laughter that demanded for all
who heard it to laugh also. He grinned widely at her.
“Are you sure you are not getting it somewhere?” he finally asked a quizzical
look on his face.
“I don‟t do premarital sex if that‟s what you are asking?” Iphey laughed
again, “I just don‟t see why you can‟t be happy and in love in a relationship
without premarital sex?”
“You look like someone has given you some good loving,” he insisted with a
wink.
“Actually I am just happy o, no particular reason, God‟s been good.”
“Uh hmm…tell me…”
Funmi was passing by and gave them a dirty look. “Tunde, Ayo wants you,
now!”
Tunde stood to attention, blinked at Iphey and marched off.
Funmi did not pause in her tracks. She was walking with Bisi, who kept her
face strictly ahead. A few paces behind them, Tola for Master Card section gave
Iphey a smile and a wave. Iphey smiled back and went back to the files before
her.
Iphey smiled to herself as she relived the kiss with Chinedu in the car. Her
toes curled in her pumps and began to tingle. She considered whether to call him
or wait for him to call first. She didn’t want to make any hasty decision but it was
not as if she was planning to marry him in the next month, she was just going to
give him a chance to see if they could make it work between themselves.
She remembered what she discussed with Aisha a couple of weeks ago. After
they had discussed finding Bisi in his apartment, the conversation had diverged
to general talk.
“Aisha, most girls are hasty to get into serious or permanent relationships.
For me, I have now decided that I’ll give the guy a test-drive…”
Aisha‟s eyes went wide, “Do you mean…?”
Iphey grinned mischievously, “No, not the way people usually mean a testdrive. I mean a time frame in which I check out the guy and see if I like him on
all levels and can check if we are on the same levels when it comes to values and
compatibility of personalities.”
Aisha smiled and said, “That‟s what most people do but they define it with
different terms.” They both laughed before Aisha continued. “As long as you
don’t end up in a marriage of convenience.”
Iphey sighed and said, “I could never do a marriage of convenience, I would
drive someone crazy.”

EPISODE 18

It was the evening of what had been a dull and rainy day. Chinedu was
waiting in a room with two other men; he had been asked to ‘report for duty’, as
an operation was scheduled for this night. He was nervous, because unlike the
past few operations, he had not been given any details. While he waited, he tried
to pry information from the other two men. Serubawon, tough and surly, ignored
him altogether; Chancer, quiet and tense, told him to wait for their leader,
Dabaru, to come – he would tell him everything. Chinedu was edgy because the
people he was more familiar with, Gbenro and a few others, were not there.
About an hour later, the door opened, and Dabaru entered, followed by Okey,
another member of the gang. Dabaru was a tall, rangy man who had the air of
someone scenting for danger around him. He had been involved in armed
robbery for over five years; more than once, his sharp instincts had helped him
evade capture. He called them all to gather round so that he could explain the
night’s operation.
“We are going to this address in Lekki tonight. I hear that someone there is
keeping some money there this night.” He stared fiercely at one of the other
boys, “Okey, you know the place, right? The place I showed you when we were
driving in the area the other day.”
Chinedu was puzzled. “Is Okey driving tonight?” he asked.
Dabaru turned to him and smiled. “Yes, Okey is driving instead of you. I
think it’s time that you took part in a actual operation.” He turned back to the
others and continued explaining details of the operation, but Chinedu’s mind was
elsewhere. He knew that this day would come one day, but he hadn’t thought
that it would come so soon. His heart beat faster as he thought of what would
happen. He had gone on shooting practice sessions with the gang before, but
practice was one thing; real life was something else.
Eventually, Dabaru finished with the explanations and told them all to get
into the car waiting outside; the guns they needed were already in the boot. As
Chinedu passed him, he put his hand on his shoulder and said “We will make six
million naira from this operation; I know you will not disappoint. Just be strong
like you were in the last operation.” Then he followed them out and entered the
car, which promptly revved and sped off towards Lekki.
Chinedu shook his head as he recalled how horribly wrong the operation had
gone. His role had been to climb over the wall of the compound at the address,
then threaten to shoot the compound guard if he did not open the gate for the rest
of his colleagues. Unfortunately, the guard had panicked and run towards the
house, raising the alarm. Chinedu had him in his sights; but he found that he
could not bring himself to pull the trigger. He stood there, sweating and
trembling, as the rest of the gang shouted at him to let them in. Suddenly, there
was a gunshot, and he felt a sharp pain in his leg. The robbers heard the shot,
and that was their cue to flee. Chinedu collapsed and as he lay on the ground,
blood seeping through his jeans, he heard the wail of sirens in the distance
growing louder.
He woke up the next day at Apongbon. Five days later, the police doctor had
bandaged the flesh wound on his leg inflicted by the house owner’s pistol but the
pain in his heart went deeper. While his answers to the interrogations had saved
him some beating, he had been charged for armed robbery. His mother had
visited once but there was nothing she or anyone could do. He was not up for
bail and the police were were almost ready to transfer him to Kirikiri. He was
sitting quietly while the other inmates raved and ranted, when a couple of prison
guards approached his cell and unlocked it.
The prisoners began to chant at the guards, but they glared fiercely back and
pointed to Chinedu.
“You… come with us. Oga wants to see you.”
Which oga, and why does he want to see me? Chinedu wondered, as they
walked down the dark corridors that led to the prison‟s chief superintendent‟s
office.
The guards knocked and entered. Two men were sitting at the table; one was
dressed in uniform – Chinedu guessed that he was the superintendent – and the
other was tall, dark and wore an expensive babanriga.
“Is that the boy?” the tall man asked, pointing at Chinedu.
“Yes, sah,” one of the guards replied.
“Hmm…” The man stroked his chin for a while, and then he spoke. “You…
you were brought in from an armed robbery, right?”
Chinedu, staring in astonishment could only nod his head.
“I am Alhaji Galadima,” the man continued. “I am here to talk about the
gang that you were part of…”
It turned out that the Alhaji, who was a police officer, was looking for
information that would help him end the operations of Chinedu‟s former gang,
who were still active in the area. On inquiring, he learnt of Chinedu who had
been part of the gang, but was now in custody. Galadima realised after talking at
length with Chinedu that he had no great loyalty to the gang members, as they
had abandoned him the moment he had been caught, and had not contacted or
been to see him since. Chinedu said he would co-operate with the police in
supplying information. Galadima also saw from the conversation that Chinedu
was quite an intelligent person, and soon teased out the circumstances that led to
him joining the gang.
His co-operation led to two members of the gang, Serubawon and Okey,
being caught. It also meant that the Alhaji was able to arrange for him to be
released sooner, and in addition, he volunteered to fund Chinedu‟s education to
university level “because it would be a shame for such a fine young mind to go to
waste.” Chinedu‟s eyes misted over as he remembered the Alhaji‟s benevolence,
but he quickly wiped the wetness away, as he slowed down his car to park at his
office.

He sat behind his mahogany desk starring into space, his chin nestled in his
palms. His eyes were wide open but his vision was nil; he was lost in dreamland.
He could see her; young, beautiful and promising. Everything about her
enchanted him. Her smile was unique and different from what he‟d ever seen on
the other women a
He got up and strolled to his door and peeped through the pigeon hole. There
was a gorgeously dressed woman standing at the secretary‟s desk but he could
only see her back view.
„Sir? Are you there?‟ The secretary‟s voice came through the intercom again.
He hurried back to the table and tapped the intercom button.
„Let her in.‟
He couldn‟t tell who she was but from the „good look‟ of things through his
pigeon hole, he was willing to take the risk.
The door swung open and Ayo was awed as he beheld the feminine spectacle
that waltzed into his office.

EPISODE 16

Jewel froze immediately the lecturer
said that. same assignment that he
spent 3 hours at the cafe typing. He
turned and stared at Henry, probably
asking him to explain what the
lecturer just said. He turned back to
face the lecturer when Henry wouldn’t
say anything.
“but sir I …………..”
“no excuses” the lecturer cut in.
“I didn’t get your assignment when I
asked for it, so no excuses.”
Jewel quietly sat down, feeling sad.
‘how can Henry do this to me. Is he
this heartless? If he can do this, it
means he is capable of doing
anything. This also shows that he is
the one sending me those messages.
Why didn’t I see this from start? He
wouldn’t have been so stupid to have
written those messages himself. He
must have given it to someone else
to write for him, for him not to
implicate himself. what will I do
now? will I lose 10marks just like
that.” Jewel thought.
The lecturer continued with the
lecture. Jewel didn’t concentrate on
the lecture. He was lost in thought.
He couldn’t believe that Henry could
do that to him.
When lecture was over. Just
immediately the lecturer stepped out
of the class, Jewel confronted Henry.
He stood at Henry’s front and glared
at him.
“what’s the meaning of that? why
didn’t you submit my assignment?”
he asked.
“I swear, I submitted the assignment
to Daniel. I was very surprised when
the lecturer said you didn’t submit
yours.” Henry responded.
“if you submitted it, why then is it
missing?” Jewel asked.
“I don’t know. maybe we can ask
Daniel, because i’m very sure that I
submitted your assignment to him.”
Henry responded.
They both approached Daniel who
was about leaving the class.
“Daniel what happened? I thought I
submitted Jewel’s assignment to
you. Why did his own got missing?”
Henry asked, immediately.
“I don’t know. I took every
assignment that was submitted to me
to the lecturer’s office. If Jewel’s
own was not there, it means you
didn’t submit it.” Daniel responded.
“how can you say that, when I know
very well that I submitted it to you”
Henry said.
“like I said earlier, every assignment
that was submitted to me was taking
to the lecturer’s office. I have to
leave now” Daniel said and left their
presence.
Jewel stared in frustration. He
spared Henry one last glance and left
the class also. He didn’t know what
to believe anymore.
*****************************************
*
Jewel sat down alone in an empty
class. He just wanted to be alone, so
that he could think of what to do
next. He was resting his head on the
desk. He was so lost in thought that
he didn’t realized when Angel walked
into the class. Angel sat quietly
beside him, without distracting him.
Few minutes later, Jewel raised his
head to see Angel sitting beside him.
“Angel!” he called, surprised.
“how long have you been sitting
here?”
“not quite long. Jewel what really
happened? why was your assignment
not submitted to the lecturer?” Angel
asked, feeling concerned.
“I don’t know. All I know is that I
gave it to Henry to submit for me.”
Jewel responded.
“Are you saying that Henry didn’t
submit it” Angel said.
“isn’t it obvious. He intentionally
didn’t submit my assignment.” Jewel
responded.
“but why would Henry do such a
thing?” Angel asked.
“He thinks there’s something going
on between us. He once told me that
he likes you and would like to date
you. maybe he thinks that I went
behind him to court you” Jewel
responded.
“that’s absurd” Angel said.
“I have always believed that he was
the one sending me those messages,
and he just confirmed it with what he
just did.” Jewel said.
“This is really absurd. I need to put a
stop to this. I will confront him”
Angel said.
“no, you don’t need to talk to him. I
can handle this” Jewel objected.
“I have to, if not, this will keep
repeating itself” she said and stood
up.
“I will talk to you later”
Angel left the class to look for Henry.
*************************************
Angel stormed into the faculty
garden and walked straight to meet
Henry, who was sitting at the far left.
She stood in his front and stared
angrily at him. Henry looked up from
the book he was reading to see
Angel staring at him.
“hi Angel” he said, smiling.
Angel didn’t respond. she just kept
staring at him. Henry noticed that
she wasn’t smiling.
“what’s wrong? why the look on your
face?” Henry asked.

EPISODE 15

The door suddenly opened and Henry
walked in. He froze when he saw
Angel lying on Jewel’s bed. He
stared from Jewel to Angel, back to
Jewel. They stared silently at him
also. After a while of deafening
silence, Henry spoke.
“sorry for disturbing you guys” he
said and turned to leave the room.
“wait!” Jewel said, immediately.
Henry stopped and turned to face
Jewel.
“why are you leaving? Angel was
waiting for you all this while. Are you
going to leave just like that without
knowing why she came all the way
from her hostel to see you?” Jewel
asked.
Henry stared at Jewel, surprised, and
at the same time embarrassed.
‘so Angel was actually waiting for
me’ he thought.
Angel too could not hide the surprise
look on her face when Jewel said
that. she didn’t remember telling
Jewel that she was waiting for Henry.
She stared at Jewel with a
questioning look.
That was the only thing Jewel could
come up with, for Henry not to
misunderstand what he saw.
Henry quietly walked back into the
room.
“are you actually waiting for me?”
Henry asked.
Angel nodded in affirmation, even
though she had no idea of what to
say was her reason for looking for
him.
“I’m very sorry. I didn’t know you
were waiting for me.” Henry said and
went to sit on his bed.
“why do you want to see me?” Henry
asked.
“I was thinking if you can help me
out with a topic. you know you asked
me to come to you whenever I need
help” Angel said.
“yes, I said that. what topic is it?”
Henry asked.
Angel stood up from Jewel’s bed and
went to sit beside Henry on his bed.
Jewel heaved a sigh of relief and lay
down comfortably on his bed.
Angel showed Henry the topic she
wanted him to explain, and Henry
took his time explaining a topic
Angel knew better than him. By the
time they were done, Jewel had
already slept off. Angel thanked
Henry and left their room without
waking Jewel.
*****************************************
*
Everyone sat quietly in class, waiting
for the lecturer to arrive. Francis was
sitting beside Jewel at the far left,
while Henry was sitting alone at the
back. Angel, Jessica and Lucy were
occupying the seats at the far right.
Daniel walked into the class few
minutes later and went straight to the
podium.
“attention everyone” He called.
“I’m sorry this class won’t hold. The
lecturer is not available.”
“not again!” someone shouted from
the back.
“The lecturer gave us an assignment
instead, which we are to submit first
thing tomorrow morning. The
assignment should not be less than
10 pages. It must be typed and spiral
bind.” Daniel instructed.
“I will be at the faculty to collect it
tomorrow. you must bring it to me
before 7:45am, because I will take it
to the lecturer exactly 7:45am.
“How is that possible? How are we
suppose to type a 10 pages
assignment and submit first thing
tomorrow. Most of us have
something else to do” someone said.
“I’m just delivering the lecturer’s
message. You can ignore it if you
like, but I just want you to know that
the assignment carries 10 marks. so
if you don’t do it, you automatically
lose 10 marks. I will send the
questions to you guys before the end
of our next lecture” Daniel said and
left the class.
Students started leaving the class,
since the lecture was no more
holding.
**************************************
It was already 5:50pm and Jewel
was already set for his personal
study with Angel. He seemed very
tired, because he spent about 3hours
at the cafe typing the assignment
that was giving to them. He was very
hungry at the same time, because he
didn’t have lunch.

EPISODE 17

The car pulled up just outside the bank, and Iphey stepped out, anxiously
glancing at her watch again.
The window on her side slid down, and Chinedu peered through it. “Are you
sure you’ll be OK? I hope your boss won’t eat you alive for this,” he asked.
“I will be a few minutes late, but I should be fine; I’ll find an excuse that will
work. At least, as far as I know, there’s no meeting that I need to be present at.”
Iphey still wondered whether Funmi had a nasty shock waiting for her when
she got back, but that was something she could worry about later. Right now, she
felt so happy at the prospect at starting something really solid with Chinedu that
everything else paled in comparison.
“OK. Oh – before I forget – can I get your number? You can be sure that I
have no intention of deleting it this time – but I’ll make up a song with the
numbers in it, just in case I lose the phone,” he joked.
Iphey laughed as she gave it to him. “Please call me, and let’s set something
up.”
Chinedu smiled back. “Yes, let’s see if we can start afresh. Actually, I just
remembered that you don’t have your own transport to get back. How about we
kill two birds with one stone? I can pick you up this evening, we can go
somewhere nice and then I can drop you off at home.”
“That sounds like a great idea.”
“Yes, I thought so too. OK, I’ll see you later.” He waved at her, and watched
admiringly as she walked towards the bank entrance. Then the window slid back
up, the engine revved and the car took off towards his office.
****
As he drove, Chinedu was lost in thought. He really wanted to make things
work with Iphey, and he was glad that he had this chance… but he recalled her
unease about his history as an armed robber.
“Sometimes, I wonder why I had to go and say that. Perhaps things would
have been better if I had kept this close to my chest,” he mused.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it would be better to make a
clean breast of things and tell her what had happened in his earlier years…
Chinedu and his four younger siblings were had grown up in Ajegunle, where
their father worked as a clerk in an office and their mum sold provisions in a
small store. But it was not a happy marriage; the money both their parents
brought in was rarely ever enough to feed them all, so there were always rows
over why the children did not have school uniforms and books, or when the rent
was going to be paid so that the landlord would stop harassing them.
Chinedu remembered those rows with a shudder; they were violent, searing
affairs that left him with ugly memories. He also remembered his father often
saying to him and his siblings in a bitter voice: “See the suffering that being poor
can bring. If you know what is good for you, make sure you study well so that
you can get a good job and live in a big house, not this..” gesturing around their
cramped one-bedroom apartment. So he coped in his own way by immersing
himself in his studies; perhaps he could spirit them away from this miserable
existence if he became a doctor, or an engineer. Fortunately for him, his ability
matched his desire, and he excelled at school, so it looked like his hopes might
become reality.
Unfortunately, at the end of his second to last year in secondary school, his
parents separated. His father was tired of being belittled by his wife and left to
stay with another woman he had been having an affair with; his mother was only
too glad to see him go, as it would mean an end to the endless beatings and
abuse. But that meant that the burden of looking after the five of them weighed
even more heavily on her, and in the end, this meant that Chinedu had to help to
augment the family income by acting as an Alabaru, a load porter at the local
market. Needless to say, this meant an end to his studies.
Chinedu recalled his time at the market with mixed feelings. He missed going
to school; in addition, the work was hard and competition for customers was
fierce. However, he soon realised that the place was alive in a way that he had
never experienced as an ordinary market-goer. There was always something
going on; in addition, there was a whole underside to life in the area that he had
never realised existed until he started hearing stories from the sellers and other
regulars who frequented the place.
He soon made two friends, Polycarp and Gbenro. Polycarp was a friendly,
rather quiet boy who had also been working at the market as a porter for two
years. But Chinedu was more more drawn to Gbenro, a much livelier person
who always seemed to have a ready jest on his lips.

04. Sell your photos on stock websites
If you have a sizeable portfolio of images, you should consider selling them on stock sites. These platforms gather millions of pictures and videos, and sell them to businesses, marketing agencies and media. In return, the photographers receive a commission every time their work is downloaded. The amount per download depends on the platform, the type of license and many other factors. In all cases, the price is still low, so if you want to make money, you should bet on quantity and regularly upload fresh content. Stock sites require you to sign up first. Make sure you carefully read the guidelines, as some platforms forbid you to submit the same images to competitors. Once you’re registered, you can start feeding your account. Every image that you submit will be evaluated before publication – but after a few days, you’ll master the whole process very easily. iStock, ShutterStock and BigStock are the most famous stock names. Don’t neglect the image hosting sites: on top of letting you save your photos for free, some of them let you market them, like 500px.Money, money, money: What makes a winning stock photo? The quality of the shot, a file uploaded in extra high resolution (since it can be used in a lot of different formats) and a subject everyone can relate to. The world of stock images is getting more and more standardized, as the rather unflattering adjective ‘stocky’ tells. Browse the best sellers on various sites in order to see what’s currently working. But what might be even more important than the picture itself, is the way you ‘sell’ it. This market is saturated – around 150,000 new pieces are added every day onto Shutterstock only! Even if you manage to shoot the perfect picture of ‘young and handsome employees mawkishly smiling to a computer screen’, it might never get noticed. To optimize your chances, make sure to add as many relevant keywords in your description. The best tip here is to think of the possible queries someone would be looking for a photo like yours would type in the search bar.

13. Try pelvic floor exercises

You’ve probably heard of Kegels, which are exercises that help strengthen your pelvic floor muscles and improve your chances of orgasm. It turns out, these same exercises can help treat premature ejaculation in men. Research presented recently at the European Association of Urology in Stockholm found that simple pelvic floor exercises improved premature ejaculation rates after 12 weeks in most men. Try doing the exercises together for maximum benefits.

14. Use a condom

Ask a guy who doesn’t like wearing condoms why he feels that way and he’s bound to tell you, “It doesn’t feel as good.” Sex with a condom definitely feels different, and you can take advantage of this to get your guy to last longer. The sensations on his penis will be slightly weaker with a condom on, which might translate to longer sex sessions.

15. Switch up the position

If your guy has a go-to move that always gets him off, switch it up. Cosmopolitansuggests missionary or girl-on-top, which can help many men delay the finale.

An obvious disclaimer: the “within reason” part is important. Hopefully it goes without saying that you don’t want to try something that would leave you curled up on the floor or crying in the shower. But being willing to take a step outside of your comfort zone and pushing the envelope of your sexual repertoire for the sake of your partner’s sexual satisfaction is important. And after all, you’d want her to be willing to do the same for you.

18. Great Sex Does Not (Necessarily) Equal Orgasms
It’s important to keep in mind: sex, even great sex doesn’t necessarily equal orgasms. Because it’s generally very easy for men to get off — too easy at times, to be honest — guys tend to be very orgasm-focused, seeing it as the end goal of sex. However, women’s ability to reach orgasm (and what they need to get there) can vary greatly from person to person. Some women need a great deal of direct clitoral stimulation — sometimes more than the human body can provide — in order to come. Others are easier to get off than a pair of shoes. Most women can’t orgasm strictly through penetrative sex without clitoral stimulation; some can, but they’re decidedly in the minority. Some women can be unable to orgasm at all for a variety of reasons. But this doesn’t necessarily mean that not having an orgasm means that the sex wasn’t great; women can still enjoy the intimacy, the sensation and the act, even if they don’t come. Treating sex as orgasm-centric can put a lot of pressure on women to perform — occasionally literally — and paradoxically make it harder to get off.

You see, in this world there are two kinds of people, my friend: those with boring jobs, and those who dig. You dig.

The main reason why you became a photographer is because you love it. You enjoy every single day at work, polishing your skills and learning about human nature, while your distant cousin homo officinus spends their days filling in Excel sheets. Yet your landlord doesn’t think that you working for the sake of art is good enough. They want you to pay the bills that have been sleeping in your mailbox for the past couple of months. This is where the million dollar question comes in: how do you transform your passion into a profitable profession?

Photography is a very crowded space, with tons of shutterbugs offering their services for every single genre and price range. However, with the right amount of dedication and creativity, there’s no doubt that you’ll secure enough commissions to make a living – at least a modest one, at the start. You also have the Internet on your side. Today, it’s easier than ever to create a stunning photography portfolio and promote it online to attract more clients. So what’s the missing ingredient here? You need some actionable ideas to start turning shots into cash. You don’t need to look any further because we have precisely what you need.

Here are 15 proven ways to make money as a photographer – and step up your business’ game.

Photograph small businesses
Teach photography
Sell digital or printed copies of your work
Sell your photos on stock websites
Write a photography blog
Invest in your art
Conduct photography tours and workshops
Become a social guru
Shoot portraits
Sell photos to magazines
Shoot events
Enter photo contests
Get gigs as an assistant photographer
Edit and retouch
Create websites

01. Photograph small businesses
In 2019, a business without a website is pretty much like a weekend without a lie-in. Restaurants, hotels, yoga instructors: they all have an online platform that they need to fill with beautiful images. This is where you come in and offer to photograph their stores, offices or teams. How do you find them? First and foremost, in real life. Take a walk around your neighborhood and speak to business owners in an informal way about what you do, and how you can help them attract more clients with stunning photos. Bring a tablet or a computer to show your online portfolio, as some people want to see visuals rather than explanations. Don’t neglect the online realm. Many businesses in your area are likely to look for a photographer on Google, and you want to be among the first results that appear – so make sure you’ve worked on the local SEO of your photography website. Money, money, money:

02. Teach photography
Relax, the only math you’ll need here is the rule of thirds, and it’s far less intimidating than the rule of three you learned at school. With time, you acquired tons of valuable tips and techniques that other photographers would love to hear about. You can also give beginner classes for people living in your city, explaining the basics while transmitting your passion for photography. Teaching is known to be the best way of learning new stuff, and will also get you to meet new interesting people.

03. Sell digital or printed copies of your work
Everybody loves beautiful photography. For a long time, the possibility to acquire a piece of art was limited to a small circle of well-off individuals or companies. In the 21st century, more and more companies are offering high-quality shots at a very reasonable price, from just a dozen to a few hundreds dollars. But why should you to go through a reseller when you can market your pieces yourself?

EPISODE 14

Jewel became very scared that he
did not know who is trying to harm
him, and what the person planned to
do.
“what will I do now? this is a threat
to my life. I don’t know if this person
is just trying to scare me, or he is
actually serious with what he said” he
said.
A knock sounded on the door and he
turned quickly to the direction of the
door. He was scared. He knew that
was not Henry, because Henry
wouldn’t have knocked on the door.
He stood up from his bed and
walked to the door. He opened the
door to see Jessica standing at the
door.
“hi Jessica” he said, surprised.
He wasn’t expecting to see her
standing at the door.
“hi Jewel” she responded, smiling.
She was carrying a handbag.
“is Henry around?” she asked.
“no, he has not returned yet” Jewel
responded.
“can I wait for him?” Jessica asked.
“sure, please come in” Jewel said
and gave way for her to enter.
She entered into the room and Jewel
followed behind her.
“please have a seat” Jewel said,
pointing at Henry’s bed.
“thank you” Jessica responded and
sat down on Henry’s bed.
Jewel went back to sit on his bed.
He took a book and busied himself
with it. After a while of deafening
silence, he spoke.
“have you called to inform him that
you are waiting for him?” Jewel
asked.
“no, let me call him now” she
responded and dailed Jewel’s
number.
she placed the phone on her ear and
waited for him to pick up.
“hello Jessica” Henry’s voice
sounded at the other end.
“I’m waiting for you in your room”
Jessica said.
“oh! I will be with you soon. I’m on
my way. give me 5minutes” Henry
responded.
“okay, I’m waiting” Jessica said and
ended the call.
“what did he say?” Jewel asked,
immediately.
“he is on his way” Jessica
responded.
“okay” Jewel said.
Jewel stood up from his bed.
“you can wait for him here. I need to
go and get something from my
friend’s hostel.” he said.
“okay” Jessica responded.
Jewel walked to the door and went
out. He wasn’t actually going to get
anything. He just wanted to give
them some privacy.
Jessica sat alone in the room,
staring at every corners of the room.
After sitting alone in the room for a
while, Henry walked into the room
and went straight to me Jessica on
his bed.
“sorry for keeping you waiting” he
apologized.
“it’s nothing” Jessica said.
“so, to what do I owe this surprise
visit?” Henry asked
“I actually want you to explain
something for me” Jessica
responded.
“let’s see what it is then” Henry said.
“before that, let’s have lunch. I
brought food” Jessica said and
brought out a food flask from her
handbag.
“you shouldn’t have bothered
bringing food. Anyway, thanks very
much.” Henry said.
“go and bring plate let me dish out
the food” Jessica said.
Henry hurried to his cupboard and
brought two plates and spoons. He
handed them to Jessica. Jessica
dished out the food in just one of the
plates, for them to eat together.
They sat facing each other on the
bed and consumed the food silently.
The didn’t say a word to each other
until they were done eating.
“thank you very much. it’s really
delicious.” Henry said when they
were done eating.
“you are welcome” Jessica
responded.
“but you don’t always have to bring
me food whenever you need my
assistance. you can always come to
me whenever you need me.” he said,
trying to act like a gentle man, but In
actual sense, he doesn’t mind if she
keeps bringing him food, because
her food was very delicious.
Henry explained what Jessica wanted
him to explain for her, and when he
was done, they both left the room
together.
****************************************
It was already 5:45pm. Angel sat on
her bed, preparing for his personal
study with Jewel. She put on her
sandals and took her notebook from
her table. she flipped through pages
and noticed another piece of paper,
placed in her notebook. she stared at
the paper and prayed silently that it
should not contain any scary
message. she picked up the paper
and read the message in it.
‘he is evil. stay away from him. he
will ruin your life’
The message was just exactly the
same with the first one she got.
She stared at the paper in anger.
This time, she wasn’t scared but
angry.
“so Jewel, after warning you to stop
sending me such messages, you still
went ahead and sent it. you think
you can scare me this way. Just wait
until I get to the garden.” she said,
carried her handbag and stormed out
of her room.
***************************************
Jewel entered his room to realize
that Henry and Jessica were no
longer in the room. He went straight
to his bed and lay down. It’s was
already 6:15pm and he had not gone
to join Angel at the garden. He didn’t
intend going there, not after the
message he got. He didn’t know who
is threatening his life, so it is only
proper for him to tread carefully. He
took his book instead and busied
himself with it.
**************************************
Angel sat on a seat at the faculty
garden, waiting impatiently for Jewel.
she was waiting for him to arrive, so
that she could give him a piece of
her mind. She looked at her phone
screen and realized it was 6:30pm
already.
“what’s keeping him” she said.
When she was tired of sitting, she
stood up and paced up and down the
garden.
“so Jewel is actually joking with me.
He knew what he did, that’s why he
refused to show up now. He think he

EPISODE 13

Jewel stared at the piece of paper in
his hand with so much anger. He
was so certain that the message was
from Henry.
“Henry you must be a coward for you
to confront me this way. so you
cannot come to me personally to
confirm if there is anything going on
between me and Angel. so you
chose to do it this way. I was even
planning of telling you why Angel
and I always meet, but since you
chose to go about it this way, I will
have to see what you are capable of.
I won’t tell you why Angel and I
always meet. I will watch and see
how you will ruin my life, since that’s
what you plan to do.” Jewel said to
himself with a frown.
He tore the paper into pieces and
dropped it in the dustbin.
“Henry, you can go ahead and do
your worst.” he said.
Just as he went back to sit on his
bed, the door opened and Henry
walked in. Henry went straight to his
bed and lay down without sparing
Jewel a glance. Jewel observed him
for a while and realized that his face
was slightly curved in a smile.
‘so you are happy because you think
your threat will have impact on me.
let’s see how it goes’ Jewel thought.
Jewel observed him for some times,
before lying on his bed.
*********************************
Angel stood in front of Dr. Femi’s
office. Daniel had earlier informed
her that Dr. Femi wanted to see her.
She took a deep breath and hope
Jewel didn’t tell Dr. Femi anything.
She knocked on the door and waited
for response.
“come in” Dr Femi’s voice sounded
from within.
Angel entered the office to see Dr.
Femi sitting behind his desk.
“good morning sir” Angel greeted.
“why are you taking your study with
Jewel for granted?” Dr. Femi asked
immediately without responding her
greeting.
‘so Jewel actually reported me to Dr.
Femi’ she thought.
“do you think this is a joke? You got
the opportunity to represent your
class and you are taking it for
granted.” Dr. Femi continued.
‘so Jewel went and reported me to
Dr. Femi after what he did. what is he
trying to achieve by doing that. so he
is trying to make me look bad. He is
trying to make Dr. Femi see me as a
bad person’ Angel thought.
“let this not repeat itself. you may
leave now” Dr. Femi said.
Angel lowered her head a bit and left
Dr. Femi’s office.
*********************************
Angel sighted Jewel sitting alone in
an empty class and walked straight
to meet him. She had been looking
for him since she left Dr. Femi’s
office. She stood in his front and
glared at him when she got to him.
Jewel looked up from his table to
see Angel glaring at him.
‘what’s that look for’ he thought.
‘if there is anyone that should be
angry, it should be him.’
“why did you go and tell Dr. Femi
that I deliberately missed our study,
after what you did?” Angel asked.
“what’s wrong with what I said to
him? didn’t you miss it? you made
me to wait all night, and when I tried
calling, you ignored my call” Jewel
responded.
“why won’t I ignore your calls, after
what you did” Angel said.
“what did I do?” Jewel asked.
“oh please! stop feigning ignorance.
you know what you did” Angel said.
“I don’t know what you are talking
about” Jewel responded.
“I don’t have time to argue with you. I
just want to tell you never to try such
nonsense with me again. because if
you do, I won’t take it lightly with
you” Angel said and stormed out of
the class. Jewel stared blankly into
air, as he could not understand what
Angel was talking about.
*************************************
Francis sat quietly in the school
restuarant, waiting for Lucy. He had
made up his mind to tell Lucy how
he feels towards her. He was very
sure that he likes Lucy and would
want to date her. So there is no need
keeping it a secret from her.
‘I will tell her today. yes I will’ he
mumbled.
He felt a hand on his shoulder and
turned to see Lucy standing beside
him. she was smiling broadly. He
froze when he saw her. He was so
carried away that he didn’t notice
when Lucy walked into the
restuarant.
“Hi Lucy, you are here already” he
said, masking his surprise with a
smile.
“please have a seat”
“thank you” Lucy responded and sat
down.
“sorry for keeping you waiting”
“it’s nothing” Francis responded.
“I hope you have not had lunch
already, because if you have, without
waiting for me, I will break your
head” Lucy joked.

After her outburst, the silence lengthened between them.
“Ifeoma!” Her mother’s scolding voice cut through the charged atmosphere.
“Is that how to greet your mother’s guest, ehn? With confrontation?” Letting
out a loud hiss, Mama came to Chinedu‟s aide, stopping what was about to turn
into a train wreck.
“Don‟t mind her, my son. How are you?”
If she was a meddling mother, he was gladly an enabler. At least, she came
through for him. Guy! You Bleep up. Why did you have to go telling Iphey you
deleted her numbers? Dear God… Smiling sheepishly, he could have kicked
himself for the nearly perfect impression of the awkward teenager he was putting
on show. Cupid was surely having another laugh at him.
Highly irritated, Iphey cut Mama’s bonding session with her perceived
potential son-in-law short. “OK… I really don‟t have time for this. I have to get
back to work.” She stormed off, leaving Chinedu with Mama. At the door, she
hurriedly mumbled some awkward but polite goodbyes and “nice to see you” to
Ngozi and Otunba. In truth, she wasn‟t totally thinking about her job after that
last tidbit about deleting her details. She would have agreed to jump on to a bed
of hot coals if it meant avoiding Chinedu.
The man might have been shaky with his words in the beginning, but he
definitely wasn‟t playing at the end. Even when caught off guard he exuded a
natural confidence that couldn‟t be taken away from him. He had just told her he
had been ready to throw her over and here she was still salivating. The fact that
he was just as gorgeous as the last time she saw him wasn‟t helping either.
“Iphey…”
She looked up and Chinedu was in front of her. His eyes looked straight into
hers unflinchingly. This was not the right time to be gazing into the eyes of an
alluringly attractive man. Sanity had to be preserved. Brushing past him, Iphey
dashed into her car.
Let him stew in it. Leaving him like this made her heart ache, but she was too
proud. The high of their reconciliation had been dented by finding out that it had
been so easy for him to forget her. And it seemed that the pride of her car had
been dented as well, her engine spluttered and died when she turned it on. She
couldn‟t believe what was happening right when she needed to escape the most.
Again and again, the car refused to start. When she turned the ignition, the
uncooperative engine made a sound that seemed to be laughing at her futile
attempts to get it to work. Iphey felt herself on the verge of explosion. Surely, this
much exasperation couldn‟t be contained in one body… She was one second
away from bursting into a torrential flood of tears when a deep soothing voice
came through her window.
“I‟ll take you.”
Iphey decided to play the hand fate had dealt her. Whatever her beef with
him, the fuming Funmi still waited in the office. She didn’t even want to fight
him off any longer. She was in Chinedu‟s car with all her stuff before she knew it.
As they drove in silence, she noticed he was smiling. Out of amusement this
time, not awkwardness.
“What is so funny?”
Chinedu let out a quiet laugh. It was that of a confident and mildly amused
man. “So you sabi Igbo like that?” Iphey hadn‟t realised she had been cursing in
Igbo at her choppy day, her manager and her car. They both burst into laughter.
The tension brewed by all the day‟s previous events melted into oblivion. There
was something about him that always put her at ease. It was the same calm she
felt when he comforted her during Obi‟s hospitalisation. Her mind drifted,
envisioning being held in his arms, totally at peace without a care in the world.
“You always know exactly what to say or do. When you aren‟t having
strange women over or robbing people at gunpoint, of course.”
The laughter died at once. A feeling of intense stupidity enveloped Iphey. She
had no idea why she had said that. Before she could take it back, Chinedu had
veered off the road, stopping sharply by some roadside stalls. He was visibly
angry.
“Who do you think you are? You no get secret? You no get past? The fact that
you know mine does not give you the right to throw it in my face all the time.”
He threw his hands up. “Women! You say you want honesty, then you run
when you hear the truth. You say you are not interested in me, then you freak
out at the sight of another woman. What the hell do you want from me?”
Iphey was dumbfounded. He was irate. She couldn‟t bring herself to look at
him, reverting to a childhood habit of playing with her fingers when nervous. She
now looked down at them.
“Answer me! Answer me now!”
“A chance?” she whispered.
Chinedu thought he was hallucinating. He could feel everything inside him
softening, turning to mush. “What?”
“I said…a chance. I‟m sorry for joking about that. It sounded funny in my
head.”

There he was. The man who had refused to call. The man who had made her
feel ridiculously foolish and yet made her want to try again. Iphey was shocked
to see him after so many weeks! She had to blink to be sure that this was not a
trick her eyes were playing.
“Chinedu, what on earth are you doing here?”
As the words left Iphey‟s lips, realisation hit her hard. MAMA! She had been
right all along. The woman HAD been expecting someone else when Otunba
appeared on the scene. She glanced back and the look of ultimate satisfaction on
Mama‟s face said it all. Right in the middle of this storm in Ngozi‟s living room,
Mama was grinning from ear to ear. The smile of a woman whose mission had
been accomplished. Unbelievable. Iphey tried to caution herself from jumping to
conclusions but Mama‟s voice sealed her suspicions.
“Oh Chinedu. I have been expecting you! How are…”
“Wait, you were expecting him?” Iphey turned to her mother. She knew
Mama was a match-maker but did not believe she would go that far. So all that
delay asking for details about James was just to buy her some time so that
Chinedu would meet her here? As Iphey extricated herself from the confused
web of emotions that her mind had become, she realised Chinedu was
explaining.
“Yes your mother called me here… she said she wanted me to come help her
with something.”
“So you’re not here to see me?”
“Yes…Erm…No… Your mother said…” Chinedu stuttered.
The funny thing about shock or stress is the disconnect between thought and
speech. His words were as eloquent as those of a teenager asking for a first date.
What Chinedu was thinking was, “How dare you? I am the one who should be
demanding explanations here. YOU made up your mind without hearing my
side!”
These thought flitted through his mind, yet, the exasperation he felt was far
outweighed by something else he couldn‟t explain. Like why he could not erase
her from his thoughts like he did with his phone. She had a hold on him and he
didn‟t like it. He realized that she had also gripped his arm literally.
“If you would excuse us,” Iphey said to everyone. All eyes were fixed on
them by now. “We need to talk,” she whispered to him.
Chinedu was as surprised to see Iphey as she was. He did not know her
mother was playing one of her tricks again! The woman had called him earlier to
come and help her out with “something”. She said it was an emergency and
something she could not talk about on the phone. God he had so NOT planned
on seeing Iphey! It was the middle of the afternoon and she was supposed to be
at work. Now all the emotions that had seemingly been buried were rising from
nowhere. His thoughts were paused by the sound of her voice… he had almost
forgotten what listening to her was like.
“I‟m talking to you Chinedu! Did you know I’ll be here when you agreed to
Mama’s request to come?”
He pretended nonchalance. “I came to see your mother; I honestly did not
plan on seeing you.”
Her next words came out of nowhere. “That‟s not even the issue! How dare
you ignore me since? After that episode with Bisi, you did not even think of
calling me to explain. You completely blanked me and acted like we shared
nothing…. like I did not mean anything to you! How could you let me go?
Why?”
First, it was his past. Now she wanted an explanation for Bisi. Iphey wasn‟t
even his woman so why was she angry at all? How could she be so worked up
when they were not even together? He wanted to tell her he was sick of her
excuses. Instead, Chiendu remained calm…
“They say if you love something you should let it go and if it comes back then
its meant for you.”
Iphey hissed, “Oh don‟t give me that! You did not even act like you were
hoping I‟d come back! Aisha said you never brought up the subject after that
day.”
“I was giving you space, you needed to sort out your feelings.”
“I don’t blame you.” Iphey rolled her eyes. “Am I not the one that drove all
the way to your house to tell you how I really felt but you happened to be with
SOMEONE ELSE?”
At her rankled tone, he began getting worked up too. “Iphey, I‟m trying to be
as civil as possible but you are not making it easy! For Pete‟s sake I‟m the one
meant to be pissed here. I do not deserve this interrogatory process that‟s going
on here! In fact, I did not deserve the show you put up that night. YOU came to
my house and I had a visitor, SO WHAT? YOU chose to walk out without
giving me a chance and YOU chose not to pick the calls I made to you that
night!”
