Method #7: Viagra and Medication
For many men, some of the most common ways to treat premature ejaculation is to use medication such as Viagra or numbing sprays. Whilst it’s undoubtedly effective, it’s only a band aid solution to a bigger problem. A big, eight-hour erection-shaped band aid.

Method #6: The Squeeze Method
Lots of guys would have tried this one before — just before climaxing, you grab your � and give it a squeeze to stop the orgasm. Not only does this kind of kill the mood, it isn’t 100% reliable. And sometimes it hurts.

Henry woke up very early the next
day and prepared for lectures. He
was smiling all through. He had
made a promise that he would tell
Angel her he feels about her. Just
imagining the fact that Angel will
soon become his girlfriend is giving
him so much joy. He would treat her
like the queen she is, when she
finally agrees to be his girlfriend. He
left the hostel when he was ready,
without waiting for Jewel. He was so
anxious to go for lectures.
***************************************
All through lecture, Henry didn’t pay
attention to what the lecturer was
saying. He kept taking glances at
Angel from time to time. He had
already prepared what he would say
to Angel when he is alone with her.
Francis on the other hand, is also
lost in thought. he also wasn’t paying
attention to what the lecturer was
lecturer. His eyes were just fixed on
Lucy who was sitting at the far left in
the class.
immediately the lecturer left the
class, Francis rushed to sit beside
Lucy.
“hi” he greeted.
“hi” Lucy responded.
“how was the class?” he asked.
“it’s okay.” Lucy responded.
“so where are you heading now?”
Francis asked.
“I’m going to have lunch” Lucy
responded.
“can we go together? I’m also going
to have lunch” Francis said.
“okay, no problem then.” Lucy
responded and stood up.
Francis and Lucy left the class to
have lunch.
*********************************
Francis and Lucy sat quietly in the
restuarant close to the faculty, eating
their lunch. Francis kept taking side
glances at Lucy as she eat. he
couldn’t believe that the lady he likes
was having lunch with him. He was
very sure that he likes Lucy as a
woman, but his problem is, he
doesn’t think he could be able to tell
her that he likes her. that had always
been his problem. he doesn’t have
the gut to tell a lady he likes that he
likes her. he has never confessed
his feelings for a lady. He lose the
lady he likes to another guy, because
he couldn’t tell her that he likes her.
He will try his best for that not to be
the case with Lucy. Even if he can’t
tell her with words, he will show it in
his action. she would come to realize
how much he love her when he
showered her with love.
They ate silently, and when they were
done, Lucy tried to pay for her meal,
but Francis prevented him.
“Don’t worry, I will take care of it”
Francis said.
“you don’t have to” Lucy responded.
“I insist” Francis said.
“okay, if you insist. thanks” Lucy
said.
“you are welcome” Francis
responded.
Francis paid for their meal and they
left the restuarant together.
*****************************************
Henry went to the school garden
after lecture to see Angel sitting at
the far left in the garden. He couldn’t
control his joy when he saw her
sitting there alone. That was the
perfect opportunity for him to tell her
that he likes her.
He walked slowly to meet Angel and
sat beside her.
“hi” Henry greeted.
“hi” Angel responded.
“why are you sitting here alone?”
Henry asked.
“receiving fresh air” Angel
responded.
There was a deafening silence for a
while.
“Angel” Henry called.
“yes” Henry responded
“I want to confess something to you”
Henry said.
Angel didn’t respond immediately.
she stared at Henry suspiciously.
“what is it?” she asked, slowly.
Henry took a deep breathe and stared
deeply at Angel.
” I know this might not be the best
time for me to say this, but I just
have to say it because it has been
troubling me. I like you Angel. I like
you very much. I want us to start
dating.” he said and waited curiously
for her responded.

For most men, sex or sexual difficulties aren’t exactly fun topics of conversation among friends. In fact, your knowledge of how to prevent early climaxing might have come from the high school locker rooms or incognito-mode Google searches. But the fact is, early ejaculation is something that affects most men from time to time.

Figuring out how to go longer in bed doesn’t have to carry the negative associations we tend to give it. Feeling anxious about keeping up appearances, or helpless because nothing seems to work only serves to give sex a negative association. And if sex isn’t fun any more, then it’s time to ring the alarm bells.

We’ve looked at some of the better known methods for prolonging sex, and outlined which ones work and don’t work— according to science. No incognito mode needed.

Method #1: The ‘Stop-Start Method’
The idea is to pump a few times… then stop. Then pump a few more times… then stop. This method is great if used in the final moments of sex, but not for the entire experience. The stop-start pattern can prevent you and your partner from finding an easy rhythm and could make it harder to work towards a climax.

Method #2: Distraction Method
Biting your tongue. Thinking about your Grandmother. Or lawn chairs. Distracting yourself when you feel like you’re about to climax is one way to delay an orgasm, and the best part is, no one needs to know you’re doing it. The downside is that you will take yourself out of the moment, mentally — and being present during sex is far more enjoyable.

Method #3: Avoiding pre-intimacy
You know how in the movies, everyone just rips their clothes off and starts going for it? He thrusts, she gasps, and then it’s all just a tangle of limbs and unrealistic orgasms. Well, welcome back to the real world. For both men and women, the body needs to be fully aroused.

Method #4: Slower Sex
Slow things down to start with — it will build tension and allow you to last longer. But slowing down sex when it’s starting to reach a crescendo is not so sexy.

Method #5: Less Penetrative Sex
One of the greatest sex myths is that it needs to be penetrative. On the contrary, non-penetrative sex can be some of the most satisfying stuff. But this must be reciprocated with your partner.

Manchester United take on Reading in the third round of this season’s FA Cup at Old Trafford in a 12:30 kickoff today.

The Royals currently sit 23rd in the Championship under the guidance of Jose Manuel Gomes.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer spoke to the media yesterday.

The caretaker manager confirmed that centre-backs Chris Smalling and Marcos Rojo are still sidelined through injury. The duo have yet to feature in any of the Norwegian’s four games in charge at Manchester United. Ole confirmed to MUTV: “Rojo and Smalling – they’re out.”

The United legend also confirmed that Paul Pogba is a doubt to feature. The 2018 World Cup winner picked up a knock in our 2-0 win at Newcastle United on Wednesday night following a horror challenge from Jonjo Shelvey. Solskjaer said:

Paul Pogba is a doubt for Manchester United’s FA Cup clash with Reading but Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez will start, caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed.

The France international picked up what Solskjaer described as “a knock” in the 2-0 Premier League win over Newcastle United on Wednesday, in which he was caught by a high challenge from Jonjo Shelvey.

Henry sat on his bed, with his book
and pen right beside him. He was
trying to learn what was thought in
class for that day but couldn’t seem
to understand it. He had been sitting
on his bed for close to two hours
trying to solve some questions. The
day was approaching evening already
and he still hasn’t understood the
topic. what’s he going to tell Jessica.
He already promised her that he
would explain the topic to her this
evening at the faculty garden. he
wouldn’t want to disappoint her. He
can’t go to the garden if he can’t
explain the topic to her.
He lay on his bed and sighed.
“what am I going to do now. I don’t
want to disappoint her. This is the
first time she’s asking me for a
request. I will not like to disappoint.
This is really frustrating.” he said.
The door suddenly opened and Jewel
rushed into the room. he walked
straight to Henry and stood opposite
him. The look on his face was not
funny. Henry noticed his mood.
“what’s wrong?” Henry asked.
“your girlfriend has started again.
how can she lie against me to Dr.
Femi” Jewel responded.
Henry stared at him confused. he
didn’t understand what Jewel was
talking about.
“which my girlfriend?” Henry asked.
“how many girlfriend do you have?”
Jewel asked.
“I don’t remember telling you I have a
girlfriend” Henry responded.
“oh, so you have forgotten about
Angel.” Jewel said.
“did I tell you that she’s my
girlfriend. I only told you that I like
her and would like to date her.
please don’t go about telling people
that she’s my girlfriend, so that you
will not spoil my plan. if she hears
that from anyone, when I have not
told her personally, do you think she
will still give me a chance.” Henry
said.
“okay I’m sorry, but please tell Angel
to stay away from me. how can she
lie against me to Dr. Femi.” Jewel
said.
“what did she do this time?” Henry
asked.
“Dr. Femi asked her to call me to his
office. she didn’t even approach me,
but she lied to Dr. Femi that I
refused to come” Jewel responded.
“okay I am apologizing on her behalf.
I will talk to her, but that’s after I
have told her about my feelings for
her.” Henry said.
“she should just stay away from me
please” Jewel said.
“she will.” Henry responded.
Jewel walked to his bed and sat
down.
“Jewel, please do you know how to
solve questions on sample theory?”
Henry asked.
“yes I do. what about it?” Jewel
asked.
“but you were not in class when the
topic was treated” Henry said.
“I have already practiced it earlier
before now” Jewel responded.
Henry rushed to Jewel’s bed with his
book and pen.
“please explain it to me. I really need
to know it” Henry said.
Jewel collected Henry’s pen and
explained the topic to the best of his
knowledge. Henry rushed out of the
room immediately Jewel was done.
he was late already. Jessica would
have been waiting for him at the
garden.
*****************************************
**
Jessica sat quietly at the faculty
garden waiting for Henry. she had
been sitting there for close to an
hour. She was already contemplating
on leaving.
Henry suddenly rushed into the
garden, sweating profusely. he
walked to me Jessica at the far-right
in the garden.
“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting”
Henry apologized.
“I just got here myself” she lied.
“okay, can we begin?” Henry asked.
“sure” Jessica responded.
Henry sat down beside her and
started explaining the topic to her.
he followed the same method he
learned from Jewel. When he was
done, he stood up to leave.
“have you had dinner?” Jessica
asked.
Henry paused. he wasn’t sure if
Jessica was referring to him. he
turned back to face him.
“you mean me?” he asked.
“yes” Jessica responded.
“no, I haven’t, but I will go to a
restuarant on my way to my hostel.”
Henry responded.
“why not follow me to my hostel. I
prepared rice” Jessica suggested.
Henry never expected her to invite
him to her hostel.
“you mean I should follow you to
your hostel?” he asked.
“yes” she responded.
“what about your roommate?” Henry
asked.
Henry knew very well that Angel is
Jessica’s roommate, but he just
wanted to confirm it.
“Angel is my roommate. so there is
nothing to worry about” Jessica
responded.
“oh really! your roommate is Angel”
Henry said, surprised.
“yes” Jessica responded.
“okay then. I can follow you to your
hostel” Henry said.
“let’s start leaving then.” Jessica
said.
They stood up and left the garden.
****************************************
Lucy sat on her bed, staring at her
phone screen. she had been staring
at the screen for close to 30
minutes. she wanted to put a call
through to Jewel but couldn’t
summon the courage to do so. Her
main reason for requesting for
Jewel’s number from Francis was not
because she wanted to plead on
Angel’s behalf, but because she just
wanted to hear Jewel’s voice. she
has been crushing on Jewel ever
since she set her eyes on him. she
just have to hear his voice, or she
won’t be able to fall asleep.
she took a deep breathe, trying to
summon all the courage she could.
she waited for the next 2 minutes
and dailed Jewel’s number. she
placed the phone on her ear and
waited for him to pick up. her heart
was beating in rhyme with the beep
of the call.

Angel stood like a log of wood,
staring at Jewel’s retreating figure.
she couldn’t believe what just
happened. it was not like she was
coming to apologize. she only
wanted to tell him that Dr. Femi
wants to see him. she stood at the
garden for close to 3 minutes
without leaving. After a while of
standing, she left the garden.
*****************************************
*
Francis sat alone in an empty class.
he seemed to be lost in his thought.
A lot seemed to be on his mind. he
hasn’t been himself for a while now,
and that’s because of the lady he
saw in class. He has been thinking
about her from the first day he saw
her. He couldn’t explain the kind of
feelings he was having. There was
something special about that lady he
can’t seemed to explain. Or has he
fallen in love with her. He can’t
possibly fall in love with someone he
was just meeting for the first time.
He knew nothing about her. how can
he just be thinking about a lady he
has never spoken to. he really don’t
understand what is going on. he was
lost in thought that he didn’t know
when someone walked into the class.
‘hey you’ he heard behind him.
He quickly turned to see Lucy
standing behind him. Her face was
curved in a smile. He froze
immediately he saw her. That was
the same lady he was thinking about,
and here she was, standing beside
him. He couldn’t do much to hide the
surprise look on his face.
Lucy walked to him and sat beside
him.
“why are you sitting here alone? what
are you thinking?” she asked.
“erm……. erm…..” he stammered.
He seemed not to have recovered
from the shock of seeing her beside
him.
Lucy placed a hand on his shoulder
and stared into his eyes.
“are you okay? what’s the problem?”
she asked, feeling concerned.
“not…..no…..nothing” Francis
stammered.
Lucy presence is making him
uncomfortable. he never expected to
see her there.
“are you sure?” she asked.
“ye… yes” he answered.
“okay if you say so” Lucy said.
There was a deafening silence for a
why before Lucy spoke.
“you must be Jewel’s friend. I saw
you together today in class.” Lucy
said.
“yeah, he is my friend. my childhood
friend” Francis responded.
“wow! you have been friends with
jewel from childhood” she said.
“yeah” Francis responded.
“that means you will know a lot about
him” Lucy said.
“yeah” Francis responded.
“actually, my friend misunderstood
him and had to say some bad words
to him. can you give me his number
so that I can call him and apologize
on her behalf.” Lucy said.
“that won’t be a problem” Francis
responded.
Lucy gave Francis her phone and he
typed Jewel’s number. he returned
the phone when he was done.
“thank you” Lucy said
“you are welcome” Francis
responded.
“when are you leaving this place?”
she asked.
“I’m about leaving” Francis
responded.
“let’s leave together then” Lucy said.
“okay” he responded.
They stood up and left the class
together.
****************************************
Jewel entered his room to see Henry
already in the room. Henry was lying
on his bed. He sat up immediately
he saw.
“you are back. what took you so
long. the class ended some hours
ago” Henry said
“I went to the faculty garden to get
some fresh air” Jewel responded.
“okay” Henry said.
Jewel walked to his bed and sat on
the edge.
“I have talked to Angel already” Jewel
said.
“really!” Henry said and rushed to sit
beside Jewel on his bed.
“what did you tell her?” Henry asked,
curiously.
“I told her to stay away from me. I
told her that we should pretend like
we have never met and avoid each
other whenever we see each other”
Jewel responded.
Henry stared at Jewel confused.
Jewel noticed the looked on Henry’s
face.
“what’s wrong. why are you staring at
me that way?” Jewel asked.
“I thought you wanted to end the
quarrel with her” Henry said.
“yes, that was what i did” Jewel
responded.
“how can you say you ended the
quarrel with what you said to her.”
Henry said.
“what’s wrong with what I said? isn’t
it better that we avoid each other”
Jewel said.
“I thought you want to make peace
with her” Henry said.
“I think this is the best way to make
peace. I really don’t want to start
having problem with someone you
plan to date” Jewel responded.
“okay if you say so” Henry said.
“have you told her that you like her?”
Jewel asked.
“no” Henry responded.
“why?” Jewel asked.
“I’m waiting for the right time” Henry
responded.
“when is the right time? you better
make the move now or you might
regret it later. Angel is a very
beautiful lady. do you know the
number of guys that might be
admiring her. if you waste any time,
you might lose her to someone else”
Jewel advised.
Henry thought for a while.
“thanks Jewel. I will do exactly that. I
will approach her and tell her how I
feel” Henry said.
“that’s what you should do” Jewel
responded.
A knock sounded on the door and
they turned their attention to the
door. the door opened almost
immediately and Francis walked in.
he went straight to Jewel’s bed and
sat down.
He wasn’t looking too happy.
“what’s wrong?” Jewel asked.
“nothing” Francis responded.
“you haven’t gone to your hostel?”
Jewel asked.
“my roommate wouldn’t have
returned. I will be alone in the room,
that’s why I came here instead”
Francis responded.
“okay” Jewel said.
There was a deafening silence in the
room for a while before Francis
spoke.
“how do you know when you are in
love?” he asked.
Jewel and Henry turned to face him
immediately. they stared at him
suspiciously.
“who are you in love with?” Jewel
asked.
“not me. someone asked me this
same question, but I couldn’t give
him a reasonable response, that’s
why I decided to ask you” he
responded and look away
immediately

The lecturer walked to the board and
wrote ‘first semester test’ on it. He
turned to face the class.
“I said you should space yourself” he
barked.
“please sir” the class chorused.
“will you shut up. do you think I
came here to joke” the lecturer
barked.
Some minutes later, students were
seen sitting at reasonable distance,
away from each other, with their pen
and paper on their desk. It seemed
that the lecturer really meant what he
said. He went to the board and wrote
5 questions for the class to solve. He
turned and faced the class when he
was done.
“you have 15 minutes to answer the
questions. if you like, joke with it.
that will be the beginning of failure
for you.” he said in a serious tune.
The class began the test
immediately. While some were still
trying to write down some things,
others still have their paper blank.
15 minutes later, the lecturer
collected the answer scripts. most of
the students submitted a blank
script, with just their names and
matric number on it. only few
students were able to write down
some things. The questions the
lecturer set was suppose to be the
topic for that day, which most of the
students have no idea of.
“see you all in the next class” the
lecturer said and left the class.
A loud uproar filled the class
immediately the lecturer left.
students gathered in group of three
or four to discuss the just concluded
test. Henry came to sit beside Jewel
immediately.
“how was it?” Henry asked.
“it was cool” Jewel responded.
“you call that scary questions cool. it
was not cool on my part o.” Henry
said.
“why? didn’t you finish it?” Jewel
asked.
“I didn’t even attempt any of the
questions. I submitted a blank
scripts.” Henry responded.
“why?” Jewel asked.
“that’s because I don’t know any of
the questions. I just pray the lecturer
won’t use it as part of our C.A,
because I will surely score zero if he
does” Henry said sadly.
“I don’t think he will use it.” Jewel
said.
“anyway, let’s put that aside.” Henry
said.
“okay” Jewel responded.
After a while of silence, Henry spoke.
“Jewel” he called softly.
“yes” Jewel responded.
“I really don’t know what transpired
between you and Angel, that made
her said those things to you, but I
just want to plead on her behalf.
please forgive her” Henry pleaded.
“why are you pleading on her
behalf?” Jewel asked.
“because I like that lady, and I plan
to date her. I don’t want you to be
having problem with someone that
might be my girlfriend. I hope you
can forgive her” Henry responded.
Jewel stared at Henry for 2 minutes
without saying anything. after a while
of silence, he spoke.
“I truly don’t have anything against
her. All I will do from now on is to
avoid her, so that there won’t be any
problem between us. you don’t have
to worry yourself. you can go on and
date her if you like her” Jewel
responded.
“thank you very much Jewel.” Henry
said.
“you are welcome” Jewel responded.
Francis joined them minutes later
and they left the class together.
*****************************************

Angel, Jessica and Lucy went to the
school restuarant to have lunch.
They had attended four lectures
already in just one day, and they
seemed to be tired and hungry. They
sat at the far-left in the restuarant
and ate their food silently. After a
while of silence, Lucy spoke.
“Angel, I really don’t know why you
said those things to Jewel. what did
he do?” she asked.
“just leave that guy. he thinks he can
joke with everyone and go free.
certainly not with me” Angel
responded.
” I think you must have
misunderstood him. maybe he acted
rudely to you when he was in a bad
mood. he did same to me, but later
apologized. he is not who you think
he is. he is a very nice guy. you will
get to like him if you get close to
him.” Lucy said.
“why are you speaking as if you have
known him for a long time” Angel
said.
“I don’t need to stay with him for a
long time to know that he is a very
nice guy.” Lucy responded.
The restuarant door opened and their
course rep walked in. He went to
meet them immediately.
“Angel, I have been searching for you
all over the school.” The course rep
said to Angel.
“Daniel, I hope there is no problem.”
she said, referring to the course rep.
“why are you looking for me?”
“Dr. Femi wants to see you. he said
you should meet him in his office”
Daniel responded.
Angel froze at the mention of Dr.
Femi. That was the same lecturer
that gave them an impromptu test
just because the class was noisy
when he entered.
“why is he looking for me?” Angel
asked.
“I don’t know. when you get to his
office, you will find out yourself”
Daniel responded.
Angel stared at Daniel suspiciously
for a while, before speaking.
“okay, I will go and see him”she
responded and stood up.
“you guys should wait for me. I will
be right back” she said to the other
ladies and left the restuarant.
*****************************************
**
Few minutes later, Angel was
standing at Dr. Femi’s door. she
seemed nervous. several thought
were running through her mind.
could it be that Daniel had told the
lecturer that she caused the
commotion in class today, and the
lecturer wants to punish her for it.
she pray silently for that not to be
the case. she took a deep breath and
knock softly on the door.
“come in” Dr. Femi voice sounded
from inside.

Jewel stared silently at the lady who
refused to reply his greetings. After a
while of deafening silence, he spoke
again.
“I want to apologize for how I
behaved in class today. I was really
in a bad mood, that’s why I did that.
I’m very sorry.” he apologized.
The lady looked up from her table
once more and stared at him.
“so because you were in a bad mood,
that’s why you had to transfer your
aggression to others” she said.
“I’m very sorry. I allowed myself to
be controlled by my emotion. I’m not
that rude. if you get to know me
better, you will realize I’m a nice guy”
Jewel said.
“what you did really got to me. it was
not like I did anything wrong. I only
took your book from the desk.” she
said.
“I’m really sorry.” Jewel apologized.
“okay, I have heard you. I have even
forgotten about it.” she responded.
“so we are cool now.” Jewel said.
“yeah” she responded.
“thanks.” he said
“you are welcome” she responded.
“by the way, I’m Jewel”
“I’m Lucy” she responded.
“nice name” he said.
“thanks” Lucy responded.
Jewel and Lucy ate their food
silently, and when they are done, they
left the restuarant together.
**************************************
Jessica returned to her hostel from
lecture. She entered her room to see
Angel already in the room. Angel was
fast asleep. Jessica walked to her
bed and tapped her. Angel reluctantly
sat up on her bed.
“Angel, I didn’t see you in class
today. why didn’t you come for
lecture?” Jessica asked.
Angel hissed and ignored Jessica.
Jessica stared at her confused. she
couldn’t understand why Angel just
ignored her.
“Angel what’s wrong?” she asked.
“why did you leave the hostel without
informing me? you know very well
that we were going for the same
lecture. yet you left without waking
me up” Angel said.
Jessica heaved a sigh of relief.
“I didn’t go to class directly. I went to
my cousin’s hostel first, and we both
went for lecture together.” she
responded.
“why didn’t you wake me up at
least?” Angel asked.
“I left very early. it was still dark
when I left. I left by 6:15am, and our
lecture was by 8:am. I didn’t want to
disturb your sleep ” Jessica
responded.
“you have a cousin in our
department?” Angel asked.
“yes. same level with us.” Jessica
responded.
“who?” Angel asked.
“Lucy” Jessica responded.
“Lucy is your cousin?” Angel asked.
“yes she is.” Jessica responded.
“Angel, are you angry with me? I’m
sorry if I have done anything wrong.”
“I’m not angry with you. I’m just in a
bad mood” she responded.
“what happened?” Jessica asked.
Angel took her phone from her bed
and showed to Jessica.
“look at what one idiot I encountered
today did to my phone.” she said.
” why will someone just damage your
phone?” Jessica asked.
“This phone is not even up to a
week. My uncle gave me this phone
the day i move to my hostel. and one
idiot just chose to damage it for me.”
she said.
“why will someone damage your
phone?” Jessica asked.
“and the worst part was that he even
insulted me. he called me a mad
woman.” Angel said, bitterly.
“what! why will someone damage
your phone and still insult you for
damaging your phone. I hope you
didn’t allow him to go free after what
he did” Jessica said.
“he left before I noticed that my
phone screen has broken ” Angel
responded.
“do you know him?” Jessica asked.
“I’m just seeing him for the first time.
I wish I could see him again, then he
will regret ever crossing my path.”
Angel responded.
“that guy is really something else. he
damaged your phone and still
insulted you for damaging it” Jessica
said.
“please give me your note, let me
copy what you did in class today”
Angel said.
“okay” Jessica responded.
Jessica gave Angel her note and
Angel busied herself with it
immediately.

Angel couldn’t be happier, her dream
of studying her dream course in her
dream university has finally come to
reality. she just gained admission
into one of the reputable university in
the country, to study Economics. she
had already completed the
registration process and had also
done all necessary arrangement. she
can’t wait to attend her first lecture.
she was very anxious.
She sat on her bed,thinking of how
life on campus would be like. she
would be spending the next 4 years
of her life on campus.

It was already 10:30pm, but she still
didn’t feel like sleeping. she was
really anxious. she would move to
her hostel in school the next day.
she sighed and lay on her bed. her
gaze were fixed on the ceiling.
” I will be having my first lecture in
school tomorrow” she mumbled to
herself.
“and I still have to move my luggage
to my hostel also. and I will also be
meeting my roommate. I just pray
she will be nice to be with, because I
can’t afford to spend the next 4 years
of my life with someone that will
always get on my nerves.”
She rolled from one side of her bed
to the other, trying to get some sleep.
……………………………………
Jewel sat on a chair in his room. so
many thoughts were running through
his mind. he had just gained
admission into one of the prestigious
university in the country, to study his
dream course, Economics. Lectures
would resume fully the next day, but
that seemed not to be his problem at
the moment. He didn’t even plan to
attend lectures for the whole of that
week. His main concern was to be
with the love of his life, Jane, whose
matriculation ceremony was also the
next day. Jewel and Jane gained
admission same year, but in different
schools. while Jewel gained
admission into a reputable federal
university in the south west, Jane
gained admission in a private
university in the south east. They had
both applied for admission in the
same university, but Jane couldn’t
beat the cut-off mark, so had to apply
for her second choice, which is a
private university.
Jewel stared blankly into air. His
face was slightly curved in a smile.
“finally Jane, I can now see your face
once more. I have missed you so
much. how I wished we gained
admission in the same university.
things would have been better. I
wouldn’t be so lonely. but all the
same, it’s for our good. we will only
be apart for just 4 years. After four
years, we will be together again. I
will wait for you. I love you so much
Jane. I think I should start preparing
my things, because I can’t wait to
see you.”
He stood up and walked out of his
room.
***********************************
Angel alighted from a cab in front of
the university gate. an average age
man also alighted and rushed to the
boot to get Angel’s luggages down.
she settled the cab man and he
drove off. she brought out her phone
and stared at the screen with smiles
on her face. the phone was giving to
her by her uncle before she left
home this morning. she couldn’t
control her joy when her uncle
presented the phone to her. it will
surely make her stay on campus
wonderful. she stared at the school
gate before her, still with smile on
her face.
“I’m surely going to have a wonderful
time here on campus” she said to
herself.
she carried her bags and walked into
the school.
**************************************
jewel parked the remaining clothes
on his bed into the bag beside him.
every other things had been arranged
already. he will be leaving home any
moment from now. He had already
made his parent believe that he was
moving to campus, and they had
already given him their blessing, not
knowing that he was actually going
to see his girlfriend in a university in
the far east. the only thought in his
mind was to be with his girlfriend in
an important moment of her life. he
didn’t even informed her that he was
coming. he wanted to surprise her.
he face curved in a smile just
imagining how happy Jane would be
to see him.
“Jane I know you will be surprised to
see me. I know you will never believe
that I can abandon my study just to
be with you. that’s to show you how
much I love you. I know you will be
very happy to see me. just wait for
me. I Will be with you soon” he said
and hastened the arranging of the
clothes in his bag.
************************************
Angel rushed to the faculty building
for her first lecture. she had finally
arrange her luggages in her hostel.
she didn’t meet anyone in the room
when she entered her room. maybe
her roommate would have gone for
lectures. she left her room
immediately she was done arranging
her things. this was her first lecture
and she wouldn’t want to be late for
it. she got to the faculty building
exactly 10:55am. she didn’t know
her way around and had to asked for
help in locating the place for her
lecture.
she saw a guy walking towards her
and dicided to ask for direction.
“sorry excuse me” she said,
immediately the guy got to her
the guy stopped and turned to face
her.

A Love Story

8

What are you doing here!?” Iphey screamed.
“Please let me come in, I have to talk to you.” He pleaded.
“You!?” He looked the same as when she‟d seen him earlier in the cab but
now his face was softer, more like the brother-in-law she‟d known. He was
James, her sister‟s husband.
Not knowing how to process the information her eyes were feeding her, her
first impulse was to choke him by the collar and demand reparation for all the
pain he‟d caused her family. Since she couldn‟t do that, the next best thing was
to slam the door smack in his face. She did just that but James caught the door
with his foot.
“Iphey! Please wait!” He begged again.
“Are you James or not?”
“Yes…” He breathed with downcast eyes.
“I knew it! I knew it was you.” She opened the door wider. “How did you
find me?”
“I knew where you lived…”
“Damn you, James! Damn you to hell!” Iphey cried hitting his chest
repeatedly with both hands till he caught them in his.
“Iphey, please calm down… listen to me!”
“Please, shut up! Shut the hell up! Why did you deny it when I called your
name in the cab?”
“Iphey…I‟m sorry but I had to…” He pushed her back into her apartment
and closed the door. “I was shocked as much as you were, Iphey. I needed time
to put myself together…”
James had managed to push her into one of the living room chairs at this time
but remained standing. A tense silence ensued.
“Where have you been all this while?” Iphey asked in a low voice. Her hands
hung between her knees.
“I‟ve been here in Lagos…”
“My God! James, you live here? Ngoo waited…she pined for you all this time
and you live here in Lagos?!”
Pictures of her nephew in his bed during the most recent stay in the hospital
flashed before her eyes…Her sister‟s depression…The fear in her mother‟s
eyes…Her own tears.
“Please Iphey, You need to relax…hear me out at least…”
She sprang to her feet. “How dare you come here after all these years and tell
me to relax?! Why are you even here? What am I hearing you out on? That you
abandoned my sister and her child, YOUR SON!?”
Iphey knew she was getting hysterical but couldn‟t stop it. “How am I going
to break this to Ngozi? How will I tell my sister that her long lost husband is
infact alive? That he has lived in this same state all the while she was crying
herself to sleep?” Several thoughts ran through her mind at once.
James came to stand before her. “See, I had to do what I did…I didn‟t want
to but it was the best thing I could‟ve done at the time.”
Iphey was confused. She hadn’t thought there was a happier couple than her
sister and James at the time. She‟d just gotten into university when they got
married seven years ago. A year later Obi had been born and everyone had been
overjoyed. He was three when to everyone‟s shock, James had gone missing.
James went on…”Almost four years ago, something happened.”
Iphey‟s shook her head vigorously. “What is it, James? What happened?” She
cried, perplexed.
James breathed out and turned around. “I lost my job.”
“What?? What are you talking about?”
“You see Iphey; two years after we got married, I lost my precious oil
company job.”
“What does that have to do with it?” A shiver went over Iphey. The talk of
job loss was a bit close to home with the recent spate of lay-offs in the banking
sector.
“I never told your sister. I kept going out to work for nearly six months
afterwards and never breathed a word of it to her. I looked for other jobs,
gambled, took to drinking, chased other women. Nothing helped.”
Iphey found the sofa. This is only a bad dream. If I shut my eyes, it will go
away.

Iphey was having the worst possible Monday in the history of Mondays.
To begin with, she didn‟t hear her alarm ring at 6am and flew out of bed at
6:43 instead. Rushing to get ready and stepping out of the house within an
impressive 35 minutes, she was beginning to have faith that the day could still be
salvaged when her car refused to start. Her mallam-cum-makeshift-mechanic
insisted he could fix the problem in “pife” minutes. “Madam, only pife minutes I
need,” he declared but Iphey had neither the patience nor the mood to wait and
angrily stomped out into the sunless morning to hail a taxi.
The rapture or something like it must have occurred that morning – that was
the only explanation she could think of for the practically standstill traffic, and
she spent many angry minutes uncharacteristically cursing the taxi driver, the
other drivers, the okada riders, the Lagos state government, the Nigerian
government, and every other entity she could think of.
Walking into her 9am meeting at 9:26, she fumbled into the nearest empty
seat, muttering a breathless “Sorry I‟m late. Got caught in traffic.”
“And they say you’re professional,” Funmi muttered. “Do you have the
report?” She snapped more loudly.
“I‟m really sorry,” Iphey said, shuffling through the papers she held in her
hand. She picked out a couple and asked Bisi to pass them down. “Here they
are.”
Funmi shot her a withering look before resuming her presentation.
Iphey could not have been more embarrassed. It‟s this stupid Chinedu, she
thought to herself. She had gone home fuming from the party, thinking she‟d
made a huge mistake. She didn‟t even know what made her kiss him; it wasn‟t
like her to do so. She was never quite the forward type, but somehow Chinedu
had waltzed in on his high horse and messed up her rhythm. She hadn‟t been
able to get much sleep the past few nights, tossing and turning and staring at the
pitch-black darkness way into the early morning.
Feeling cranky from lack of sleep, she willed herself to disappear in her seat. It
didn‟t seem like she was doing a very good job because she caught Ayo winking
at her. Suddenly she was very annoyed. What was wrong with this man? He’d
shown up to a party on her mum’s invitation as her boss but then proceeded to
get chummy at every chance as if he‟d just proposed. Had he no shame or sense
of decency? Did he not care about his wife? What‟s wrong with men these days
even? It‟s like they don‟t know what they want.
She didn‟t realize she‟d hissed out loud until all eyes in the boardroom turned
to her.
“Excuse me, did you have a problem with something I said?” Funmi asked,
sounding irritated.
“I‟m-I‟m sorry,” Iphey stammered and for lack of a meaningful explanation to
give, reorganized her papers and tried to look busy.
That was her Monday so far, and it wasn‟t even 10 o‟ clock yet.
Determined to make up for her double strike at the meeting, she decided to
skip lunch and use the time to put in some extra work. Iphey felt upset with
herself for being so careless, and she reminded herself that now was not the time
to slack off. The recent spate of terminations all over the banking sector was
nothing to joke with, especially now that she was due for confirmation.
Around 12:30, Bisi and one of the girls from Accounts Reconciliation stopped
by to ask if she would join them for lunch.
“Oh, thanks for the invite,” Iphey smiled, “but I really have to finish all this
work.”
The other girl excused herself for a phone call, and Bisi waited until she was
out of sight before saying, “So when are you going to gist me about you and youknow-who at your party on Friday?”
“I don‟t know what you‟re talking about,” Iphey laughed nervously, she
didn’t want to talk about Chinedu.

Iphey got home early from work and dressed to go to her sister‟s house. She
had had a fair enough day but wasn‟t to be pushed…she was almost at her limit.
Her mom had been in Lagos for the past couple of weeks. Though their
mother was staying with Ngozi to help take care of Obi, her presence still
weighed heavy on Iphey. The bright side was that her nephew had been released
from the hospital two days ago. They had all been surprised, considering his still
weakened condition but the doctors said he was stable and would bounce back
faster at home.
“Mum, how can you have a party for Ngozi and Obi? Shouldn‟t they be
resting and besides, how come I’m just finding out about the party?” Iphey
recalled her conversation with her mum just last night.
“My daughter, I‟m sorry but seeing as you are a very busy lady, I didn‟t want
to stress you more than you are. I know the few times you could come to the
hospital. This is also my send off, I’m returning to Port Harcourt on Sunday.”
That was the only excuse she got from her mom. An excuse that raised
suspicions that didn‟t sit well in her stomach. Though her attempts to find out
who the other guests were from her mom seemed futile, she was so relieved her
mum was finally leaving that she let it slide. Her mum had visited her office
twice and she’d also caught her going through her phone. Iphey was beginning to
feel like a third wheel with her colleagues and friends where her mum was
concerned.
Oh well, she didn’t want to overdress so she wore a pink, light sweater on a
faded, deep blue jeans and a black, sleeveless leather jacket over that. She wore
no make-up that evening. Looking into the mirror to make sure that her curves
were not too pronounced, she stepped out of her apartment.
************
Chinedu parked his car on the street his heart beating a little bit faster. He had
taken a chance to accept the invitation from Iphey’s mother. He and her daughter
had not spoken in nearly a week. Aisha had asked what he did since Iphey didn’t
want to talk about him though she had tried several times to find out what was
happening. He was of half a mind to give up but something told him not to.
He had never had it this difficult with a girl. He had the looks, the money, and
the charisma. She was different…he suspected that she was not swayed by
frivolities but was more interested in his personality. If so, he‟ll take things slow.
He walked into the house and saw other guests that had been invited, holding
drinks and making conversation. He scanned for Habib but first found Aisha and
her husband in a corner of the room with the lady who most definitely made his
heart stop. ONLY ONE WOMAN MADE HIM FEEL THIS WAY! He took
charge of him emotions, mustered a bland expression and walked up to them.
Before he got there something unexpected happened.
A tall, well dressed man joined the group, greeted them and hugged Iphey
with familiarity. Even Chinedu couldn‟t deny that this new man was very
attractive and he looked like he‟s got money as well. He felt a stab in his chest
and his face betrayed his cool demeanor. He was full of jealousy in a way he had
never been, especially as the stranger’s hand was still resting on her hips.
“It‟s not that she‟s my lady but I know I can‟t stand her with another man…”
A voice broke into his thoughts. It was Habib, “Why you stand here, come
on…”
Chinedu walked with him to say a very brief hi to everyone. He saw an
expression of guilt on Iphey‟s face…this made him a little happy. He walked
away after a muttered excuse to get a drink.
“Chinedu, Chinedu…hold on. Stop! Please…” Ipey called out. She had left
the man she was with and came after him. He smiled.
He turned around so suddenly that she ran into him and almost fell. He
caught her on impulse and held her close. His heart raced and seemed to beat
twice as fast. He looked into her eyes as the adrenaline pumped through his
veins…and drowned in the beauty before him. A thousand years could have
passed and he would not have traded that moment for anything. He stood there
oblivious to his surroundings and wondered what was going on in her head. He
wanted to know.

Chinedu watched her as she slept, taking in the delicately curved lashes, the
slight upturn of her nose and her long, tied-back hair. As he did, once again he
regretted the reckless streak that had made him tell her that he was an armed
robber during their previous encoun
Chinedu nodded. “I completely understand. Was it very shocking to hear the
news?”
“He‟s had asthma attacks before, but nothing like this…” Her voice trailed
off.
“I hope he pulls through; in any case, he‟s in good hands now. There‟s not
much else we can do except pray”.
They sat together for a while, each lost in thought.
Iphey broke the silence. “Oh, I feel so bad; you‟ve been so kind. I am a bad
host. Can I get you anything?”
Chinedu laughed. “This isn‟t a proper visit; I only came over when your mum
told me about your nephew’s crisis. I’ve put some Indomie in the microwave for
you; otherwise, I’m happy to just talk. Like I said earlier, once I heard from
Aisha, I was hoping we could set another date. “
Again, Iphey felt herself torn apart by the self that said “go for it, he‟s a great
guy” and the other self that said “watch out, he used to be an armed robber!”
The cautionary self won out. “Well, I don‟t know… right now, my mind is
not settled enough to think about that.”
“I understand, and that‟s why I‟m not asking you for anything immediate. I
only want to know if you would like to meet at all.”
Seeing her hesitate further, he added “Think about it. You‟ll get the chance to
hear about my adventures during my life of crime.”
At that remark, all her apprehension boiled over into indignation. “How can
you be so callous and talk about it as an adventure, as though you had been on
holiday? Don‟t you even feel any remorse?”
Chinedu nodded his head. So it was the armed robber thing; he had thought
as much. “I regret what I did then, but that doesn‟t mean that I cannot describe
some of them as adventures. Or do you want me be to lie about my past to you?”
“I‟m not asking you to lie, but please show a sense of shame! Why should I
want to hear about the adventures of an armed robber on a date?”
Chinedu began to feel irritated; he had meant to bring the issue up in a lighthearted way to diffuse any possible tension, but that sure wasn’t working.
“OK, I‟m sorry that I‟m not perfect. I‟m sorry that my life has this smear you
disapprove of. But at least, one good thing is that if I meet someone who made
mistakes and turned their life around, I‟m less likely to judge them harshly.”
Iphey was defensive. “I‟m not judging you; I‟m just saying that you shouldn’t
take it so lightly.”
“Really?” Chinedu smiled bitterly. “Avoiding Aisha’s calls and not even
calling me to say thanks all this while has nothing to do with me being an armed
robber before? Do you remember the anger and force with which you responded
to the revelation?”
Seeing that Iphey had been embarrassed into silence, he continued in a softer
tone. “I don‟t blame you; others have judged me before too. I found it wiser to be
quiet about my past. Even now, I don‟t tell everyone. I only tell people I‟ve
known for long enough to trust.
“But sometimes, I take a chance, follow my instincts and tell people who I
feel I have strong connection to, even though I‟ve just met them; people who I
feel will be willing to listen more and judge less.” He looked into her eyes, and
continued. “The trouble is, sometimes, my instincts are wrong.”
Chinedu rose and stretched. “It‟s getting late so I must head out.” At the
door, he stopped and turned. “My instincts may be wrong sometimes; but
somehow, I don‟t think this is one of them. How do I know? Maybe it‟s my
instinct telling me.”
He smiled wanly and added. “I really hope your nephew makes it out of
intensive care. Please let me know if there‟s anything I can do to help. Have a
good night, Iphey.”
She listened to the door latch slowly, her head bowed in thought. The ping of
the microwave brought her out of it.

Bisi was on her BlackBerry as she stepped out of the bank‟s official car. Her
last marketing call had been very successful indeed. She was smiling as she
walked into the closed banking hall from the back entrance.
Iphey and Jane were at the front desk. “Welcome back.” Iphey greeted.
Bisi nodded. “Follow me,” she mouthed since she was still on the cell phone.
She walked into the marketing office which was empty, all her colleagues
must have left for the day, and settled into her swivel chair. “I will see you once I
get off here…ok bye bye.” She pressed the end call button and turned. Iphey was
leaning on the door looking at her with a smile.

The day after the date, Chinedu called his friend Habib, Aisha‟s brother, as he
walked to his car after work. Habib picked up after the 6th ring. As he waited for
an answer, Chinedu recalled how he stood there staring as Iphey‟s taxi sped off.
It wasn‟t hard to figure out what went wrong with the date. Why had he blurted
out that he was an armed robber? That was certainly what made Iphey‟s attitude
change.
“Hello?”
“Hey Habib, what‟s cracking with you and where you at?”
“Hey „Nedu, am good. What‟s the deal?” Habib answered grudgingly.
“What you up to over there „cos you sound like you kina busy or something.”
Chinedu asked.
“Nothing much dude, just doing some overdue laundry over here at the
moment, but I can talk” chimed Habib.
“Anyway I had an incident with your sister‟s friend yesterday, the one that
she setup with me for the blind date? I think I might have spooked her.”
“What happened” Habib asked.
“Well, we were just rambling, you know trying to know each other. She
insisted I talk about myself, so I thought why not? You remember I told you
about the crazy things I did when younger, the stuff with the street gangs that
almost destroyed my life. Well I told her that I used to be an armed robber,
which isn‟t far from the truth really. Shey you get my drift?”
“What did she do?” Habib chuckled.
“I think she got the wrong impression. She ended the date before I could go
into details or say any other thing.”
“You sef, how you go talk that kain thing? Of course she ran away!”
“Well…” Chinedu stuttered. “She asked didn‟t she?”
“U don kolo sha! You like the girl abi na to move on be this?” Habib queried.
“Well it seems like there might be some potential there…”
“Then you need to apologize dude, and in a big way too. Chicks like that sort
of thing, like flowers saying you are sorry…”
“But dude, did I do anything wrong?”
“Then call her and say you were just trying to make conversation.” Habib
suggested.
“OK. Fine. I will think of something but I‟ll wait till Aisha gets back to me.
She was the one that arranged this so I‟m sure Iphey will tell her how it
happened and she‟ll come blasting me.”
“If you say so…” Habib concurred. “In the mean time, we go still see
tomorrow night?
“I‟ll meet you at the SWE bar by 10pm if that‟s OK.”
Habib was already on his second bottle of Gulder when Chinedu walked in
the next day.
“My guy why you dey always late?” Habib queried him.
“I like to move by night, thought you already knew that?” Chinedu joked and
both of them laughed it off.

Man Utd drop Pogba, Rojo from FA Cup tie

Manchester United take on Reading in the third round of this season’s FA Cup at Old Trafford in a 12:30 kickoff today.

The Royals currently sit 23rd in the Championship under the guidance of Jose Manuel Gomes.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer spoke to the media yesterday.

The caretaker manager confirmed that centre-backs Chris Smalling and Marcos Rojo are still sidelined through injury. The duo have yet to feature in any of the Norwegian’s four games in charge at Manchester United.

A nine-man Disciplinary Committee of the Imo State All Progressives Congress (APC), yesterday recommended that Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, be expelled from the party for engaging in anti-party activities.


The letter from the disciplinary committee, signed by the chairman Matthew Omeghara and secretary Kevin Ugwu, was made available to newsmen in Owerri.

According to the committee, Okorocha could not appear before the committee and did not put in writing any reasons for his absence.


The letter read in part: “The committee has patiently and painstakingly listened to the overwhelming evidence of Prince Ikechukwu Unegbu, and examined all electronic and media materials tendered and..........

A viral video release by PDP official twitter account where President Buhari hands over flag to Presidential, Senatorial and Governatorial candidate.

Buhari made the error as he was about to present APC flag to Ogboru at the party’s rally held at the Warri Township stadium.

Buhari said: “I am handing over this flag of honour to our presidential candidate.”


A man to his left corrected him, saying “gubernatorial”, Buhari responded with “to our senatorial candidate”.

Again, the man attempted to correct the president, who then said: “governortorial candidate”.

The Court of Appeal sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State for the second time dismissed an appeal instituted by the All Progressives Congress, APC, challenging the ruling of the Justice Chiwendu Nworgu of the Rivers State High Court, which nullified the party’s Wards, Local Governments, and State Congresses.

Recall that the Appeal Court had on December 12, last year, struck out the same appeal against the State High Court decision for filing out of the stipulated time in the constitution.

Last Tuesday, the APC had approached the Court of Appeal again, challenging the ruling of the same court, stressing that the lower court did not have the jurisdiction to hear the matter on the first instance.

But the visiting Appeal Court Panel constituted to handle the matter, struck

“What?!” Iphey spluttered.
She could have sworn that she just heard her supervisor tell the entire
operations staff and their managers that the procurement schedule template
would be available at the armed robber meeting.
“I said it would be available at the advisory board meeting,” Funmi spat at
her.
“Yes ma,” Iphey responded, suddenly finding something very important in
her notebook. She wiped at a bead of sweat that wasn‟t there, trying to relax. She
passed her notebook to Bisi who was seated next to her, “Please, help me take
notes. I‟d be right back,” she whispered and she excused herself.
She didn‟t exhale till she had shut the bathroom door behind her. “Oh dear,
I‟m losing my mind!” she said to the empty bathroom with her hand on her
chest. She walked up to the sink, and washed her hands though they weren‟t
dirty. The running water provided some kind of solace.
It started when Funmi called on the intercom at about 10am, asking for a
client‟s armed robber, which was actually the client‟s asset report. She felt like
her mind was playing tricks on her. It had been a few days since she met with
Chinedu, and she thought she had wiped him off her mind; only, to wake up this
morning and find him sleeping peacefully next to her. She screamed and then
woke up, and realized that the first wake-up sequence was only a dream.
She didn‟t understand why this thing with Chinedu bothered her so much.
After all he’d said it was in the past. Could it be that this hit so close to home
because she refused to accept she was attracted to him? The finely chiselled frame
of his face fluttered in her head as it had done every so often since her date, and
gave her an instant thrill.
“But how could someone with such an honest demeanour ever have used a
gun in his life?‟ she thought. She shook her head rapidly like it was the proven
method of clearing ones thoughts and winced at the headache she gave herself.
“OK,” she spoke to the washbasin this time, with new found determination,
“I‟ve had enough of this. I have a job to do.” She straightened her empire waist
dress in front of the mirror and looked herself straight in the eye. “You can‟t let
this worry you. He‟s not important. You‟re probably never going to see him
again.”
She looked around to ascertain that no one else was in the bathroom, ignoring
what it seemed her conscience was saying to her. She didn‟t want to become
„office gist‟ for having a nervous breakdown in the bathroom.
She pulled open the bathroom door holding her head high with square
shoulders, but weary about how far the pep talk she had just given herself would
go.
* * *
She got home that evening and finally decided to return Aisha‟s missed calls.
Her friend had tried to reach her non-stop since the night of the date, and she had
ignored every one of the calls, because she couldn‟t decide what to tell her. What
if her well-meaning friend didn‟t know of Chinedu‟s past? What if it turned out
that Aisha‟s brother had a history of armed robbery as well, since they were so
close?!
Her friend picked up on the second ring and didn‟t bother with the
perfunctory pleasantries. “I know what you‟re trying to do,” Aisha started with a
tone that made Iphey feel that she was furious, “you want me to drop dead in
suspense!”
Iphey managed a believable chuckle before responding, “No be so now. I‟ve
been busy. How body?”
“Body dey as you leave am. No use that one waste time. Give me all the juicy
details. Did you guys hit the club after dinner? Is he a good dancer? More
importantly, is he a good kisser? Did he take you home? How was it?”
“It was nice,” Iphey replied. The silence that followed hinted that Aisha was
waiting for more.
Aisha spoke up when he friend said nothing else, “Come on! Who do you
think you‟re talking to? Your mum? I‟m asking for gist, you‟re giving me the
version for the people who still believe that you‟re a good girl.”
“It was just a regular date now, abi?” Iphey replied, “I met him at the
restaurant. We talked about our backgrounds, our families, secondary schools;
etcetera. The food was good sha.”
“Ehen?”

Cucku-roo-koo!” 6 am, and the rooster had barely finished crowing as Iphey
walked into the bank premises. „Click-click-click‟ as her heels hit the concrete.
Truth was, Iphey was nervous about meeting with her boss Funmi again,
which was why she was at the office early to take a closer look at her work. She
had no idea what she could have done. Funmi had called her „unprofessional‟.
Why? She couldn‟t think of a reason. Since she started at this bank, she has
consciously been professional about everything.
She hurried to her desk in the common office and began shuffling through
files and to-do lists making sure she had left no stones unturned. As she began to
work, she turned on some music to keep her company. She had another hour or
so to herself before the first set of bankers began to arrive. The crooning voice of
Michael Buble will work wonders to calm her nerves.
“..Somehow I know that it‟ll all turn out, You’ll make me work so we can
work to work it out, And promise you kid, I’ll give so much more than I get,
mmmm….I just haven’t met you yet..” she sang to herself, bobbing her head to
the music.
“Well I have certainly met you.” A voice said behind her. Startled she
dropped the file she was holding.
“Oh I didn‟t mean to startle you” It was the bank manager. Her bosses‟ boss,
Ayo.
“Oh its not problem sir. I wasn‟t expecting anyone to be here. I‟ll just turn the
music off”. She replied. She was a little uncomfortable being in the same room
with him.
“Ah, but I didn‟t ask you to turn it off.”
“No, its ok. I will turn it off. I have to run to the basement anyways.”
“Why are you avoiding me, eh Iphey?”
“Ah no it‟s nothing sir.” She got up to put the files away. As she walked by
him, he grabbed her by the waist and held her close to him.
“I don‟t bite.” he whispered in her ear.
“Ahem!” A voice said behind them. It was Tunde, her colleague. She
hurriedly released herself from Ayo’s grip.
“I will see you later, OK Iphey?” He smiled at them both. “Good morning
Tunde.”
“Good morning sir,” Tunde eyed their boss as he strolled out.
“There is nothing going on, before you start to accuse me abeg!” Iphey began
defending herself.
“Have I said anything?” Tunde laughed in her face. He ran a finger down
Iphey‟s arm and caught her palm in a lingering handshake.
“Now if only you will agree my own….” He let the words hang and then
turned away. “See you at lunch?”
He smiled on his way to his office on the other side of the hall. He was in
marketing where as she was in clearing operations. Oh lawd. Why did she attract
all these men? Chinedu, Ayo and now Tunde. The latter was her friend but he
would get her in trouble soon if he didn’t stop.
Tunde had just gotten engaged but would not stop his flirting with all the girls
in the bank especially her. Other staff began to arrive including those who shared
her office and they all settled down to the day’s grind.
Knock knock! She spun on her seat. It was Funmi. “Meet me in my office in
10”.
Great. The day just got worse, Iphey muttered under her breath. She tidied
her desk, as she got ready to head over to Funmi‟s office. What could I have
done? She wondered to herself trying to figure out what it was. As she
approached Funmi‟s office, she heard voices, so she stood outside waiting.
“Why did you call this meeting Funmi?”
“This girl is not doing her work Ayo! Her work is sub standard, not up to par.
She needs to be taught a lesson.”
“But you know this is not the company policy. You need to tell her privately
first before bringing me into this.” Pause. “ Are you doing this because we are
not sleeping together anymore Funmi?” He queried her.
“What we had was more than sleeping together Ayo and you know it!”
Funmi yelled.
“You’re married now, Funmi. YOU went and got married but decided NOT
to tell me…”
“Did you tell me when you got married three years ago? And did that stop
us?”
There was silence in the room and the sound of Funmi’s heavy breathing.
“Funmi, I believe you’re being harsh on your staff because you’re frustrated
more than anything else. So leave the girl, she has done nothing wrong. You
know, the transfer offer to be with your husband is still open. I think you should
consider it. Me and you are finished.”
The door swung open and Ayo nearly ran over Iphey in the doorway. Iphey
avoided meeting his eyes. He smiled at her.
“I‟m guessing you heard all that then?” he asked her. She looked everywhere
but at him.
“It was bound to come out sooner or later,” he muttered, almost to himself.
“But you should keep it to yourself.” Ayo gave her a look-over, with a knowing
twinkle in his eyes as he walked away.
Iphey rubbed the back of her neck feeling very uncomfortable. Just then, a
visibly shaken Funmi opened the door.
“What are you standing there for?” she snapped.

Ikemefuna sat on the couch in his living room, arms folded on his chest, eyes clouded with anger, lips stretched thin, and watched the hand of the clock move towards 9pm for the umpteenth time. He was fuming with anger but anyone looking at him would just see a handsome, well-built man, watching TV, with an impatient stretch to his lips. On closer inspection though, the anger in his eyes could not be missed.

He stared at the game showing on the TV. His favorite English club, Arsenal were playing against their arch nemesis, Chelsea and it seems Chelsea is going to get the glory once more. He watched the screen, at the same time listening for when the door will open to admit Ugochi, his girlfriend, whom he had been waiting for impatiently for the past two hours.

Why is this woman late? What does she take me for? How can she leave me here and go about frolicking with every Dick and Harry in the city? She’ll have a lot of explaining to do when she gets back here. These were the thoughts flowing through his mind as he sat, alternately watching the clock and the screen, grinding his teeth in an obvious sign of frustration.

Meanwhile, Ugochi was having a great time with her girlfriends at the birthday party of one of the gang. She laughed at something Dawn, the birthday girl said and gave Ijeoma a wink. The three girls have been rolling together since they were at the University, they were popularly known as the three musketeers back then. Now, all of them are settled into their respective careers but they still find time to get together once in a while.

It was Dawn’s birthday and they had opted for a quiet dinner together at the birthday girl’s favorite restaurant instead of the usual all-out party she throws every year. It had taken a lot of convincing on the part of Ugochi and Ijeoma before Dawn agreed to have a small party with just the girls. She was enjoying herself although she would never admit it to her friends. Turning twenty-five should be a lot of fun.

The women have a lot in common. Apart from been the same ages, they also graduated from the same department in the University. They all studied Microbiology, and each of them had their view of the course and how they want to use it to make the world a better place. Ugochi had opted for Food Microbiology and presently works with Fan Ice in Ibadan. Ijeoma, fondly called Ijay by her friends, had bent towards health presently working as a laboratory scientist at the University College Hospital, Ibadan. Dawn had decided on pursuing the beauty angle and currently owns a beauty spa in New Bodija, Ibadan.

Ugochi is the only one in a serious relationship of the three of them. She had been with Ikem for the past three years. Dawn prefers to play the field, she had like a dozen guys at her disposal, which is not surprising as she’s the most beautiful of them. Ijeoma, on the other hand, is on a break in between relationships; her last run hadn’t been so enjoyable.

“Guys, remember that time we all failed Professor Odi’s class? He insisted we wait after everyone had gone home for the holidays, study for a week and rewrite the test. I couldn’t believe it when he said it.” Ijay reminisced

“Yeah, yeah. It was the worst week of my life.” Dawn muttered

“You were just pissed because all your boyfriends were not available.” Ijay teased

“Yeah, well what’s a girl to do when all her useful guys were not available.” She grumbled

“At least you still had Dave. The guy was so in love with you, he didn’t mind staying back for a whole week even when you didn’t acknowledge his existence.” Ugochi chipped in.

Dawn covered her face with her hands. “Oh please don’t remind me of that guy.”

Ijay laughed. “But Dawn, you were so hard on the guy.”

“I just couldn’t see myself with him. He was so needy, you know. I could never be with a guy like that.”

“Yeah. We all know you like them tough.” Ugochi teased.

She laughed. “You got that right, baby.”

Iphey got back from work that day sweating heavily and knew she was going
to be very late for her date. It had been a hot and humid day and she had been
caught in the rush hour traffic returning home from the office. She now rushed
about her apartment like a headless chicken putting her stuff together for the date
when her phone rang.
“Hello?” She panted struggling into a deep purple skirt.
“Hello, my daughter is that you?” It was her mum’s voice.
“Yes mum, it’s me.” she replied with a bitten off, “who else could be
answering my phone?” under her breath.
“I just heard from your sister. Her son is in crisis again and they are at the
hospital.”
Her heart sank and the wind was knocked out of her sails. She had thought
this was one of those her mum’s infrequent marriage badgering calls. The sister
her mum mentioned was her elder sister who had a 6 years old asthmatic son. He
had often got this sort of crises during this period but it had seemed to subside in
the past year. However, this was the second within the same month this year.
“Mum, I have to go out this evening and I‟m already running late. I’ll call her
when I get back and give you feedback later OK?”
“That’s fine, talk to you later dear. Take care of yourself and be careful.”
Yes mum,” she replied as she pressed the end button.
She wanted to continue getting ready but the “be careful” from her mum got
her thinking of the stormy events at the office today.

She had just returned from seeing one of her clients about an overdraft facility
he wanted on his account, and was walking back to her office when her manager
beckoned her into her office.
Funmi gestured to a seat. “Good morning, Iphey. Please shut the door – this
won’t take long.”
Iphey sat down, wondering what was up; she got on reasonably well with her,
so she couldn’t figure out why she sounded unusually curt. Her apprehension
mounted as Funmi went on to talk about the unprofessionalism she said she had
observed in Iphey’s work, and how she preferred to let her know about it first
rather than writing a query. Iphey was quite shocked; she tried to ask her to be
more specific, but Funmi cut her off
She had also agreed because of the impression she had got when her date
called to set up the time and venue. He had appeared charming, intelligent and
well-spoken – definitely no red flags. He seemed a bit reticent to give more
information about himself, though. All she knew was that his name was
Chinedu, and he “ran an engineering business”. Well, at the very worst, it
sounded like she might have a more interesting time going out than staying in,
even if nothing happened.
******************
The skies were already darkening when she stepped out of the cab in front of
the restaurant that they’d agreed to meet at. She looked around, wondering if he
might be waiting outside, but she didn’t see anyone who looked like they might
be him. Maybe I’ll have more luck inside, she thought as she walked in. Again,
she scanned the dark interior.
“Is he late?” she wondered aloud. She hoped not; one of her pet peeves was
people who disrespected others by not keeping to time.
“No, he’s not. In fact, he’s been watching you since you entered, and he’s
quite impressed by what he’s seen,” she heard a voice say in the same deep
baritone she had heard on the phone.
She turned round, startled, and saw someone who looked to be in his early
thirties, of average height, a bit slim and medium complexioned.
He smiled at her and continued, “Sorry for the unusual introduction… I
shouldn‟t have chosen a table out of sight, but I usually find the view outside the
window provides interesting things to talk about. I don’t think that will apply this
evening, my eyes will be taken up with a much more beautiful spectacle.”
She smiled back. “Thank you, Chinedu – that’s a very nice compliment.”
He led her to her table, and they ordered their entrees straightaway. The
evening passed pleasantly; she told him all about herself, her schooling, how she
got a job at Diamond Bank, what she would really like to do if she had the
money, places she would like to travel to, her views on the different places she
had been to, and so on. Chinedu seemed genuinely interested and impressed by
her ideas and her views; the more she talked, the more he wanted to know. She
was definitely enjoying herself.
Iphey leaned back and smiled at him. “You sound like a very interesting
person. I’d like to hear more of your views on the world; you’ve not talked a lot
about yourself.”
Chinedu smiled. “What business does the moon have in the sky when the sun
is out shining? My life these days is not that interesting; you’ll agree that we’ve
both enjoyed ourselves listening to you talk.”
“But what if we could enjoy ourselves even more by listening to YOU talk?
Oya… spill the beans!”
He made an expansive gesture. “OK, what do you want to know?”
She grinned back mischievously.
