Òkò tí a bá bínú jù, kì í pa ẹyẹ.

Translation
A bird is seldom killed by a stone thrown in anger.

Morals
Actions taken in anger seldom achieve desired results; tone down the fury: it can be self-defeating.

Yorùbá Proverbs are known to be wise sayings from the aged ones or elders which are passed through generations to teach some historical lessons, or to highlight good morals, and also to instil social values.

One of the beauty of it is the use by a younger person, whereby he or she is prohibited to in the presence of an older person, without prior permission to do such.

Enjoy some if these highlighted Yorùbá Proverbs.

Ẹni tó gbé ìlù rẹ̀ kọ́ apá, ayé ńbáa lùú, áḿbọ̀tórí ẹni tó gbé tirẹ̀ kọ́ igi tó ṣeré lọ.

Translation
The person who hung his drum on his elbow still had the drum beaten by others, not to mention someone who hung his on a tree (branch) and walked away.

Moral
No complacency.

See as you just rush finish the story

Anyways thank you for this episode

At least you tried for completing your story

Yea.

Man have been so busy lately and I don't have a choice than to do the needful.

Final Part
Come and see as the students were shouting, to the extent of snapping us with their phones.

Suddenly, something immediately came out of her body like a soul in dark form. I can’t really figure it out and fear gripped me like I was being electrocuted. I was more afraid because I was the only one that saw the figure.

Maryam fell and quickly some student helped me to carry her and off to sick bay.

You need to come and see as the sick bay was to the brim. The students want to know what’s really happened to her.

After some minutes, Maryam was discharged from the clinic and all the student cheered as she stepped out. They snapped us again while we hugged each others; passerby; motorists; lecturers; students; workers; non academic staff and everyone watched us and it was as if we were from another planet.
**********************************

It was fun meeting and knowing Maryam Usman and that was how the evil manipulation was conquered. Our pictures filled all the major social media platform and other public places and I was extremely happy that fame shined on us.

The next day, she was on her full hijab and a sign that the evil spirit has left her, she’s now looks so slim and more beautiful…infact I love her more. She promised to be with me morning and night, sunny and rainy.

To cut the story, I graduated before her and after my compulsory service year, she also graduated and we both got married and lived happily afterwards.

Did you know that she diverted all her father’s wealth into my possession?

Yes, she did!

*************THE END*************

Thanks for your time.

Where you dey since?

Anyways thanks for this update...!!

I was busy with exams and work.

Semi-final

The Gens class is over. I saw the lecturer coming out of the hall and I quickly went inside before the student will start coming out, I locked d door and all attention was on me. I stood on the empty podium and everyone focused at me. I asked dem to all sit down because I want to pass an important message to them.

As they all sat down, my witch girl came out in her majesty and stepped on the podium, all attention was on us. I spoke to the class.

"Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Mohammed Aliyu Kabir from the department of Political Science and International Studies, as you can see, today I want to propose to my beautiful girlfriend; Maryam Usman who happens to be your coursemate. But my proposal is not in form of ring or anything, but its going to be in form of a romantic and hot kiss."

The whole class murmured in unison with confusion.

I continued.

"I want each and everyone of you that is present here to please focus your attention on us, please for Allah's sake, its very important."

They all looked at me in surprise, as they were thinking maybe am mad or something weird is happening to me. I went closer to my witch girl, drew her close to me and I gave her a hot long kiss.

Immediately the whole student cheer and everyone begin to scream in joy. They all move closer to us and begin to take pictures of us while we kiss. The female among them wish their boyfriend were as brave as me to do such.

To be continued.

Quarter Final

But is this not child abuse because she's just 17 years and am sure she’s still fresh? Since am not going to fast the next day, why can’t I just continue with this girl, even if its just for few rounds.

Infact, she is even a pro...I was the one begging her to stop. We finished around 9pm and she left my room feeling happy and me feeling sorry for her. I was about to sleep when I realised that I didn't use protection. I nearly cried. I, quickly went out to a nearby Pharmacy and bought that female tablets…at least this will help. Then I came in and knocked their door and met her mom inside. I told her that I came to collect my charger from her daughter and and the girl quickly got the code. As soon as she excused us, I quickly whispered to the girl and gave her pills explaining what it's used for. I asked her to take it immediately in my presence and she obliged. I went back to my room feeling relieved.

I quickly go bathe janaba; me sharp guy, sharp shooter, top 9. I hailed myself. After the bathe, I slept off.

I woke up around 6am and my phone started ringing revealing my that it was my future wife that was calling me. The sugar in my tea; the butter in my bread; the witch herself. I grinned and quickly picked it, we spoke for a long time. She even told me everything I did last night with my landlady's daughter; I was so frightened and apologized to her that such will never happen again. She accepted my apologies and also thanked me for agreeing to break the spell. I told her that she shouldn't thank me yet but she should promise to marry me after her schoooling.

She was so happy she said replied that she’s already my wife presently.

My witch girl said that we should meet in the morning at Faculty of Medicine immediately after their Gens 102 class, she said the action will take place there because a lot of student are offering that course…more dan 900 student are offering it and they use a single lecture hall. She said I should be their by 9:05am. I replied her that will be ok and I kissed her through the phone before I hanged up.

I became afraid; what kind of thing is this?…but I must do it, by fire by or force because I love her and I can't joke with her. Besides, she is my future…the mother of my future Yaro and yarinya. I stood up. I prayed and I seek for Allah’s forgiveness over what I did last night.

May Allah forgive me my sins and all my shortcomings, it wasn’t my intention.

After the prayer, I quickly prepared noodles and egg and mixed it with sardine. Today is free day, no fasting. I will flex like the way I wanted. I will kiss my girl the way I wanted. I can't forget the taste of her saliva.

I timed myself and immediately 8:30am, I left home and straight to business.

Wow
I just started reading this piece and I must say you are good..

Thanks for writing

You're welcome.

Kindly find other posted interesting piece.

Part 10

After her disappearance I took my blanket to cover myself.. feeling sleepy. In fact am not even afraid of her again because am used to her now. Thinking of how the next day will be struck my mind again...kissing in public? And I will not fast that day because of kiss, an ordinary kiss for that matter. Am indulging in fornication in the public, but she promised to convert back to Islam, that means someone has converted into Islam peaceful through brainy.

I thought where the kiss will take place. Is the Senate Building or the Social Center. Still deep in thought when I suddenly heard a knock my door.

Knock! Knock!! Knock!!!

"Who is that?!!! I screamed.

"It's me".

It was my landlady's daughter, Oyiza. I asked her to come inside.

"Where is your guest?" She asked.

"Which guest?" I asked.

"The girl that you brought in few minutes ago inside.

I hissed. Maybe I should tell her she disappeared. Am so sure that she will flee like someone chase by masquerade.

I told her that she has gone home. She frowned at me.

"Is she your girlfriend?"

"No…she’s my coursemate, she came to collect her course materials from me."

"Ok swear if she's not your girlfriend".

"I swear she's not my girlfriend."

May God forgive me.

That's how she sat on my bed…first time in history.

She moved closer to me and asked if I truly love her. I said, Yes.

She smiled sheepishly.

Before I know what's going on, she hugged me suddenly and place her lips on mine.

That's was how Oyiza of just 16, an SS 3 student of Demonstration Secondary School, Zaria, removed her hijab to revealed what has been hidden under it and started to demonstrate something on me how she really love and prove it to me

My eyes nearly popped out when I saw what were before me.

I regained myself thereafter and asked about her mom's whereabout. She said she has gone to get something at the supermarket far a bit from home.

My body instantly reacted as she demostrated what I will not describe to you guys which was an opportunity that comes once a life time.

To be continued.

Part 10

"According to the old woman, if I meet the guy with the sign on his head definitely he’s the guy to break the spell. But what you will do is simple, very...very simple, you will kiss me in the public..a long kiss, a lot of people must there in order to witness the drama and it must be in the morning. After the kiss, you will then pray for me and that's all…as simple as ABC."

As she finished her narration, I became afraid instantly. This girl has finally turned to beauty and the beast. During this Ramadan fasting, you want me to kiss you. Never!

I told her that it won’t be possible because I can’t do such in public but she said there's no other possible solution…or else she will die before the age of 30.

Kai walahi God won’t forgive me, that is fornication of the highest order. Why should I kiss her during this fasting period. Definitely my fast won’t be recorded for that day…but she promised to return to Islam after the spell has been broken. I held my head tightly. I was deeply afraid. What am I going to do? And it has to be a public place.

What would be the students be saying if they see us kissing publicly. Different social media platforms would broadcast it. I can't even trust that guy called Oluspicy; who called himself the virtual maker, he would even broadcast it live on that his Facebook page and Instagram . That guy would even make it trend on his Twitter handle, despite the Federal Government banne on that bird app. Everybody's eyes would on us, even the world is going to have a feed on also.

Oh my other babes in school, how are they going to react?

But I like this babe and I think I will do it by all means.

I promised to do it next day, she was so happy and hugged me. (That's what I don't want, those things on her chest are too intimidating).

She said I should mention anything that I want and she’s going to do it for me. I replied her said I want anything, maybe after we have settle the spell matter. She hugged me again.

Oh God, what is this again? Please let me tap current small.

I gently move my hand to her waist region.

Yeeeee!!! My body shake as if I touch an electric live cable. It was so soft like foam. I reached for her tummy. I rubbed it a little bit, then straight up to her cheek and I looked at her lovingly.

"Can’t I just kiss you now and break the spell?" I asked her.

She replied that I can’t, but it has to be in the public where a lot of people will gather and watch us.

I took a deep breathe and gave her a light kiss. Her saliva tasted like vanilla, wish not to leave. I kissed her for like for a few minute.

My body has started to react to external stimulus just like when two electrons meet, and they form a semi conductor called a transistor. Strictly kiss, no more anything. I caution myself, she’s too sweet…I caress her body for a long time. We sat on the bed looking at each other lovingly.

She broke the silence that she’s going back to the hostel. I felt am weak, not sure if I can escort her.

I was still sitting watching her rolling her scarf…and looked me in the eyes and said goodbye..we will meet tomorrow. Before I could respond, she vanished.

Chisos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See gobee. I have never seen anything like this before. I do watch such in movies and it happened live in my presence.

But I was not too afraid because am used to it. I carry my blanket and cover myself, slept off.

To be continued.

Oya oh...

Thanks bro

Part 9
Unexpected cold shiver ran down my spine. I didn't hear you well well, you mean that am the one to break the spell?

How?

What type of trouble is this?

Why did meet this girl in the first place?

Did I resemble Cinderella or Beauty and the Beast who are spells breakers?

These were different questions running in my mind with no answers.

I folded my hands, I looked at her and she also looked at me, tears gathered in her eyes, she wanted to started crying but I begged her not to cry because we were in public.

I scratched my head in confusion. I didn’t say anything. I broke the silence later, told her I wanted to buy food for Freezlers for iftar so she should wait for me.

She declined and decided to follow me.

Honestly, what was on my mind was to run away so that she won't see me again, but I became pitiful on her, she is too beautiful to be hurt.

Soo we went to Freezlers together. I bought what I will eat for Iftar and Sahur and she paid. I asked her not to pay but she insisted, she said she wanted to buy her perfume from Samaru market and I should escort her. I frowned my face (me wey hunger dey catch mtchew)

I hissed and she scratch my head lovingly and I agreed to follow her.

Chai, this girl has known my weak point and I was already falling in love with this girl though she has not even tell me how I will break the spell. I was praying in my mind that she should not talk a about it again forever.

We went to Samaru market and she bought a lot of things to the extent of buying some things for me too.

On our way coming around 6:30pm, one guy approached us and he asked if she is my girlfriend. I looked at him scornfully.

"Mr. Man, she is my wife". I answered him.

He looked at her in admiration and said she’s cute that I should take care of her very well.

She smiled at the guy and I frowned. Nonsense, it's not only cute, it's cutie. I soliloquised.

I escorted her back to Ribadu hostel and she said I should wait for her…she quickly went in and came back. It's time for sallat and I told her I want to go and pray.

She collected the food I bought from my hand and said I should go and pray and come back to meet her at Sodom and Gomorrah.

So many thoughts were running in my mind fearfuly as I left her.

Hope she won't poison my food, or should not even eat it again ni. But this girl can't harm me...she love me very well.

After the prayer, I went back and met her there…smiling at me and I force a fake one in return. I told her that am going home that we will see the next day but demanded to follow me to my place.

My brain rang like a bell 'gbaraaaaaam!!!'

What do you want my landlady's daughter to say?

I became afraid but after a lot of argument I decide to let her follow me home...my heart was pounding thrice as fast as normal. She held my hand and we walked slowly. We passed through the sick bay, North gate, Danraka…then to my place Hanyin Dogo as we finally reached my place and God didn't answer my prayer, I meet my landlady and her daughter outside. Maryam greeted her and she asked who she was. I replied that she’s my friend from school and she came to greet me. We entered my room and we are even lucky that there was light, she sat down on my bed and begin to survey the room and nodded her head.

I quickly went to brush my teeth, boiled water for tea and I sat down to eat. I asked her to join me and she did. It was fried rice and moi-moi with good meat, sallad was in another pack with fish. We ate and ate and drank tea. Few minutes after eating, she said she want to discuss about the spell with me and she started the conversation.

"Won’t you say anything about the spell…do you want me to die?

"Die na...for all I care".

"I know you didn’t mean your word…I love you Kabir".

"And I don’t".

"You won’t eat wit a girl you don’t love".

"And I regret eating with you".

"What has come over you?"

(I moved closer to her) "Hmm, I love you...I was just joking, tell me about the spell".

(She smiled) "The spell says...?"

"Says what...and wait, how did you know if am the guy to break it?"

"Because the day I saw you in the library, I saw a light on your forehead and that was why I stared at you dat day. That was what the old woman told me".

"And what will happen to me after I break the spell?"

"Nothing, you will be fine".

"Tell me about the spell".

She started her narration.

To be continued.

Part 8

"My name is Maryam Usman, I was born into a wealthy family, my father is a formal ambassador. I was born in d city of Yola because that's my hometown, am the only child of my parent and they gave me everything I needed including education. My parent died in a motor accident one night on our way back from the cinema, but surprisingly I was the only one that survived the accident...we were stuck in a bush and no rescuer around. During my ordeal, an old woman came and saw me alive, she took me to her house and treated me..few days later I learnt that my parent were both dead.

I cried and that was where my trouble began, all my father’s wealth was whisked away by his family. They knew I was alive and they knew where I was but they didn’t bother to check on me. This made the old woman angry but she didn’t say anything. She later revealed to me dat she’s a sorcerer and that it was my father’s family that killed him in order to inherit his properties.

I felt so bad and I told that I want to revenge, she promised to give me power…a great and mighty one but the power has a repercusion and it can be prevented if the spell is broken…but if the spell wasn’t broken that means I will die before I clock 30 years, because the power was so enormous. I can do whatever I want with it.

That’s where my problems start from, but according to the old woman the spell will be broken by a male.

"When the time comes you will meet him…you will see some signs in him that will make you recognise him, but once the spell is broken, you will loose all ur power and you will come back to normal...you will live like a normal girl."

I collected the power and I took vengeance, I didn’t kill them but I collected all the properties of my father from them and up till now, they are in my possession."

I became very afraid, and started the conversation.

Me: "So you have power in you now?"

She: "Yes and I can use it to do whatever I want…I can transform to anything".

Me: (No wonder I saw her that day changing) "Hmmm, what of the old woman?"

She: "Hmmm, she’s dead".

Me: "So you will die before 30yrs if the spell is not broken?"

She: "Yes".

Me: "Who’s going to break it?"

She: (She smiled) "You of course".

Me: (Fear gripped me and I don't know when I shouted with my hands on my head) "Haaaaaaaaaaaaa gòbe re oooooooooooooooooo!"

• Do you think Kabir would help her break the spell?
