Story Continues They held each others hands, looking straight into each other's eyes. On their face was a "please-do-understand" expression. That had been the way they settle their differnces, they would talk it over. NO MATTER WHAT. They kept quiet looking into each others eyes. The hour of temptation had come whose will be done? " A woman's life", she broke the silence, "is not governed by reasoning but neccessity. If by reasoning, you are right but by neccessity- its time for marriage. My friends are all married, and have their kids. My younger 'sister' who is just 25 married last year. I cant believe this is happening to me." she removed her hands from his, walked to a sofa above me and sat. I knew I had to be more careful in order not to arouse suspicion. "Babe, Do you love me?" my brother said as he walked to sit with her. "You know I do" she said very softly but assuring. Broz took his NYSC cap and put it on her head. Took out his handkerchief and wiped the tears that was sliding down her face and watering her lips. " Babe, you dont have to cry. All iz well. Your tears rend my heart." my brother said. He was about to cry. The woman who had been looking elsewhere turned and wiped his face with the same handkerchief. They wish things were never like this. They hug each other 'by side'. That was how they were taught in the singles fellowship to avoid sexual lust. Holy hug wouldn't solve this problem. They have to agree. They look into each others eye again trying hard to agree. I knew someone had to intervene. " Go to bed, dear. God would help us reach an agreement" it was brother. My brother led her to the room, came back and woke me. we worke to "our" room. That night my brother didn't sleep. Whenever I woke, I would see him awake. "Broz, you no dey sleep?" I asked. " Precious, you wouldn't understand" he answered. It hurt my "manliness". I was 25. 200 level law student. What does he mean I wouldn't understnd? I slept and woke up late in the money. MY LIFE OR MY LOVER. " There are billions of guys in the world, daughter" her father said " You must marry this year. I mean before December" " Dad henry is not ready yet and I want to wait for him" " I didn't hear you well" her father said "you've waited for Henry for more than 3 years. All your mates and young relations are married. Must you wait for a Man until your life is ruined? I'm your father I know what is good for you. You must bring a Godly man THIS YEAR. And there are many of them in my Church. More handsome, richer and Godly than Henry" " Daddy, but I love Henry?" " What do you know about love, helen?" "I'm always happy around him and I want to spend the rest of my life with him." " you've said that a thousand times. Henry does not feel the same, If he does he would marry you. Daughter do you know a Man has 24 hours in his day while a woman only has 12 hours? Do you know a man can change his mind like wind change directions suddenly. My daughter, I would never allow this blind love you have for henry destroy your destiny. NO, not to my precious daughter" " Daddy pleeeees" she pleaded "No infants want to eat pap for the first time, its mother would force him till it grows to eat itself. Daughter, get ready for a wedding ceremony. You either bring the man or I do it just like Abraham did for Isaac." that night was her worst, she cried bitterly. ________________ ___________________ " I'm man enough to decide my future" my brother shouted as he walked out of the bedroom. " I'm old enough to be a father" my father shouted back following him at the back. Broz went to sit on the dinning table angrily. Papa went and stood at his front sweating profusely. They wer both panting like wrestler in the ring. " I worked day and night in the sun and moon trying to make you an enviable figure in the society that would raise the family's status. And you are here telling me rubish. "i love her" "i cant afford to miss her". What sort of stupid love are you talking about? Do you know how women have ruined many men's future? I thought you read your bible. ADAM-EVE, SAMSON-DELILAH, DAVID-BATSHEBA, AHAB-JEZEBEL. should I go on counting? "Daddy, we all know Helen does not share any quality with these women. Oh my God" broz agonized. " Henry, you are a disgrace to this family" father said as he walked into his bedroom The room was as silent as the grave yard. Mum was confused. I would never "understand". Dad wants his son to be a lawyer. Henry is in love. STORY CONTINUES(no writing space. Bear with me) |

story continues Papa went and drag him from the woman as we all laughed. " I told him to board the campus shuttle but replied that they were not told to bring shuttle along with them" she said We laughed until we could no longer breath. "I pointed to a tricycle, 'Keke Napep?' he asked. I said yes. He begged me to direct him to the place since he had to treck after the tricycle would convey him to the library. I led him feeling sorry for the poor boy. He asked my number shyly, after I had taken him to the hall. I gave it to him and forgot everything about him" there was a deafening silence in the room save the woman that was on the TV going through deliverance. She was shouting like an animal going through mutilation. We ignored her and face my brother's woman, who was also looking at th woman. " I honestly had forgotten whether there was anybody called Henry when a call came in. I picked the strange number and it was a strange but gentle voice. He introduced himself. I remembered him immediately. He said he was a Law student in the school. We arranged a meeting in a popular restaurant. That was how the friendship that has now generated into a relationship started" " You are a good girl from a good home. only a wicked father would not allow his son marry a woman like you" Dad and Mum agreed. That night was one of the best we ever had. We talked till late in the night. She slept with my mum on the same bed. On my mum I pray that God should give me a woman like her, though I was just in SS2. The relationship wax stronger. They did everything together except SEX being a christian and what's more a Pastor's daughter. My brother changed positively. He began to take God serious. He even joined the sunday school teacher's department. My brother stopped lewd jokes. He stopped taking money from mum's purse. He had always said stealing your parents' money was not a sin but now no more stealing. He grew to become the man any parent would want his son to be. The woman became more matured, committed and beautiful. THINGS FALL APART. My brother had just come back from his NYSC accompanied by his always loving wife-to-be. The family celebrated it. He was the first in the history of the poor family to do so. I was already in level 200 then studying the same course with him- Law. It was as if that day shouldn't end the whole neighbourhood came to celebrate the return of the "hero". My father was exhausted that night. To say mother too was exhausted was an understatement in the extreme. She did all the cookings. Ensuring everything was in order. She just went into the room and fell on the bed. I sat with my brother and his woman in the room. It was 9pm. The champions league was on. Arsenal vs AC milan. Arsenal had lost to Ac in the first leg with a despicable margin 4- nil. I wanted Man Utd match but he was a die-hard Arsenal fan. He had his way. I slept off on the sofa awaken by GOOOOAAALL! Arsenal 3, 0 Ac milan. I tried hard to conclude the match but my eyelids were too heavy. I went back to my journey. It was 11pm. I opened my eyes and was amazed that they had not sleep yet. I wanted to go into my room but the romantic words that was entering my hungry ears made me feign a sleep. " Oh I love you, helen. Words are not enough to express my love for you. If you are the sun, then I would be the heat. If you are the oceans, i would turn to water. I dont know what I would do without you. In fact, I cant live without you" broz said languidly. "I know you love me thats why I've waited" she began " I'm now 28 and you 31. I want to change my surname. Drag me to the altar and disvirgin my lips right there in the presence of the congregation. I want to carry ur kids. Our children" she said. I would never believed a 28 year old lady had never kiss a man but it was true. "Yes, helen, I'm planning that but......" "what but again?" " I, I, want to attend the law school before settling down" He stammered " You want me to waste another 3 years of my life?" she raised her voice slightly " what do you mean by waste?" " I was trying to say wait. But cant you see that I'm getting old in three years time I would be 31. My father is 72, he is disturbing me on marriage. Henry, cant you see things frm my view, pls try to understand " she pleaded " babe, I understand perfectly. But see it this way. If i marry now I wouldn't be able to cope with the pressure in school and would not have time for you and the kids. Helen" he knelt down "pls, be patient I would marry you when all is settled but now I'm not man yet" "you are 31. You are man enough" she replied softly " I graduated 2 years before you. I have been working for 3 years now. I've saved enough for Us". STORY CONTINUES |

"Love is a ladder for the weak but a trap for the strong". I didn't believe in love until my late Brother brought home a woman. We were sitting after the evening meal when my brother, who we believed was in school entered abruptly with a woman. They both held each other hands like siblings. The room was silent. She smiled sheepishly but with confidence. She tried to off her shoe before stepping in when my mum laughed "never mind" to her. She insisted. Immediately she stepped in, without any iota of exagerration, there was serenity and an natural attractive odour. Everything about her showed that she was not poor. Her spectacles, her natural fingers, her skin. She was just natural no make up at all. She sat watching the TV. My always hospitable mother broke the silence that later led into hours of discussion. "Aunty, we just dey eat finish wey you enter so. " she smiled and said nothing. My brother, who was then in 200 level at age 25, jumped up and said "Mama abeg give us anything eatable" "So this is how u talk at home too" the "strange" girl joked. "No mind am". All this while Papa was busy listening to the news. Whenever the laughter interupted the voice of the newscaster, he would cough which we all except the girl knew the meaning. If not for the visitor "make I hear word" would always follow such cough. Rice was ready. "lets observe the tradition" brother said. "what tradition?" she was shy but that did not stop her from replying her boy's words. "abegi come chop jor" "no, I'm okay" "na ur house you dey o" my mother said "I'm okay ma" she would never stop smiling. "I know even pray make you chop before" my brother said from the table. An expression which my father couldn't help but laugh at. "you and food?" she said. "I was born to eat" my brother dropped another bomb amidst mouthful of rice. "Hellen" my brother called (so the sister's name is helen, i thought). "you must learn how to cook native soup from my mother". Everybody laughed. "the only thing that would cause a fight between us is if you are not good in ogbonaa soup(a slimy native soup)" The room was lighted by broz "silly" jokes he was throwing from the dinning table. The network news was over. "Precious, change am go 'Emmanuel TV' my mother said to me. "Any where you are distance is not a barrier begin to receive ur miracle, healin " the prophet's voice filled the room. My broz could make joke out of every serioius thing. Immediately, the prophet stretched his hand for viewers to touch. "abeg mummy give that hand some meats" he said. "thats a man of God mind ur speech" my dad said authoritatively. "so man of God no dey chop abi" he asked rhetorically. My mum and I laughed. My dad was already touching the screen. The girl was now looking at her "husband-to-be" somehow. She felt he was talking too much. "na my house I dey o, Helen" my brother said understanding her look. They were such a good communicator. They could talk each other with their eyes without anybody's noticing. But, I was too inquisitive not to notice that. He had earlier told the girl to remove her shoe despite my mum's refusal with his eyes. Yes, I saw that. "She is Helen. She is in 400 level. Studying mass comm. She loves me, I love her. And and and" he couldnt say he wanted to marry her before "US-me and my sisters". "I'm helen Ade***lu. My father is from Ife. A retired principal and a pastor in the RCCG. My father never allowed me date anyone because of his position in the church and his love for me being his only daughter and last child. I met your handsome Son-MY LITTLE BOY" everyone laughed. My brother has finally seen his match. "Who is your little boy" my brother said. "keep quiet" papa said "continue my daughter" "thanks Dad, yes, as I was saying, I met my little boy when he came for post utme exam in the school. I was 20 then in 200 level, while he was 23 in O'level" the girl was as funny as my brother she was only playing visitor at first. My brother wouldn't allow her continue the introduction. He felt he was 'cheating' her. "I met her outside the school's gate" brother began "and asked her where the school hall was" "Let's hear from her" we all protested. Her voice was like a goddess' "yes, he asked me where the school hall was" she said "i told him to board the campus shuttle" Her smiled showed that she was about to say something funny. She looked at my brother's eye and smiled. My brother too looked at her and said "shut up, shut up. Pls dont say that" "I asked him to board the campus shuttle but" she laughed hard this time. My Brother quickly went to her and close her mouth with his palm. "Ah ah, what are you doing?" my father said. My brother whispered something to her ears. STORY CONTINUA! |

Lucky gurl: According to Josh Mcdowell, the time to allow Ur child date has come when U as a parent are confident that Ur child is mature enough to date responsibly.if I hear you well, you mean age has nothing to do with dating. Do you mean A parent can allow his 10 years old child to date IF precocious and disallow the over twenty child from doing it because he is not satisfied about the child's security? |

| Literature › Secrets Of Great Writers by Preceedo(op): 11:08am On Sep 28, 2013 |
Becoming a writer seems to be one of the most lucrative careers these days. Being a writer goes beyond pouring ink on paper, obeying grammatical rules and narrating a story. What are then the secrets of great writers and writings? 1. They loved writing:- while this sounds to be obvious, it is, in most cases, not considered by prospective writers. Researches show that great writers were people who wrote for the love of it. Many so called "writers" are unfortunately goaded by greeds and envy. These greedy writers write for the material purposes. They write big jaw-breaking grammars to soothe their ego. And unfortunately, because the foundation is built on the wrong motive little distractions send them off the pen. 2. Their Thoughts was their best friend:- History has it that most renowned writers were introvert. They were quiet men not talkatives. They listened to their thoughts. They could pick up the thiniest voice because of their quietness. They had time to think and allowed their pen to do the talking. They gained insight into ordinary, common, everyday happenings. 3. They were voracious readers:- relatives of great authors comfirm this. "you would always see him with a book" a friend of a celebrated author once said. They read all that came their way. Through which they were able to build their grammatical prowess, vocabulary, and see life through other great mind's eye. The truth is you can't vomit what you dont swallow. No matter how hard you try. When you pick up your pen to write words emanate from the subconscious to the conscious mind. These Ideas that come from the subconscious brain are from your past learnings. While you can choose whether to use or drop a produced idea in your conscious mind, you cant force the subconscious mind to bring an idea it does not have. And when these happens your writing would be a letter better than a secondary school essay. THE SECRETS ARE NUMEROUS. YOU CAN DROP YOURS SO THAT EVERY FELLOW YOUNG WRITER WOULD LEARN! pen is mightier than swords |

MY NATION's LEADERS I woke up And screamed up I was just dropped to the land of mortality Yes, in the maternity I grew up And learnt the National song We were told to shut up It was more than just a song I placed my hand on my chest National pledge they called The Nation's cloth and crest Horse, Eagle and a black land Patriotism was built Like the tower of babel Bricks on brick, at first It made me marvel Days after days Under the morning sun we respected our heroes like legitmate sons I woke up And was told I was a Nigerian I looked up I was still in the same arena Nigeria, Nigeria, Nigeria The name was fun Africa, Africa, Africa My passion began to burn Realities and priorities, clash of interests, negligence of neccessities ruined the Nigeria I knew. A new nation was birthed Underground liquids, Uncommon residues we were blessed with resources Pot-bellied loafers came, administrators they claimed, myopic political enigmas they came en masse and drank our sweet liquids, and away with our residues We were left with nothing to eat the drop from our table we bore heavy burdens we broke stones to marble poor citizens we became Appelation and consideration the fruits was for their kids the seedlings for us to plant they and their children led They drained our blood and their acts drowned us like flood, some to death others stress, we kept quiet in distress. They beat us, we were tamed like horses the reward of our labours went away to favours They smiled to deceive They made long speeches but we never saw any action they spent without moderation No one suffered but the nation Nigeria, earned bad recognition No one purnished the devorers No, It was the nation's fault. The nation's ruin is the leaders' They made us loosers Nigeria blessed by God but cursed by her Lords! Drop your poem about nigeria here |

Following A live TV service is not uncommon these days especially with Emmanuel TV viewers. Also, many denominations fix satelite/cable to capture their services from the headquarters. While the pastors there are mere engineers who just switch on the cables for the congregation. Considering what's written in the bible "Don't forsake the assembly of the brethren" can we say following A live church service from home is wrong? Also considering what's written in 2 timothy 2 vs 2 "Take the teachings that you heard me proclaim in the presence of many witnesses AND ENTRUST THEM TO RELIABLE PEOPLE, WHO WILL BE ABLE TO TEACH OTHERS ALSO" Can we say satelite churches are unscriptural?______ what do you think scriptural Nlanders? |
