 A short story..  Did anyone tell you that finding a daughter or son of Adam for that "better and for worst" is easy when you finally made up your mind to stick one place?  Well! I thought so too when I was the CHIEF play boy.  I have always thought that the day you made your mind to settle down, that you won't be short of options at your disposal as the master of the game.   Truth is that finding a wo/man to settle down with is more difficult than when you were flirting the streets, scavenging for what to satisfy the lust for the forbidden fruit.   Once you are ready, the fear of not falling into the wrong hands will make you look at every wo/man in 3D.  Let me drag you on a bit.Here is my story...   I was 21 when i got my first job.  As at that age, plans of settling down never crossed my mind let alone to think of having such a conversation with the many girls that came my way then.  I had graduated early from school and in my days in the university I had girls who had

 The story...   I was only 12 when my parents betrothed me to Adamu, a man in his late thirties. It was a culture and also a norm that was practiced in my small remote village at the outskirt of Adawa, in the northern part of Nigeria, early child marriage.  Before my betrothal, I have seen some other young girls of my age being given up by their parents to older men for marriage. I was only waiting for when the shameless he goat will come for me. Fews days ago, I have eavedropped on my parents naming their price to a certain man before he could take me as a wife.   As a girl of my age, you wouldn't expect me to object my parents wishes and also an age long tradition of my kindred. Aside from this, I was too young to know exactly what it meant to be betrothed to a man who will eventually become your husband without your consent.  At the age of sixteen after my secondary education, the husband my parents married me to came for me. Not to defiled the traditions, and invite the w

 The story..  I woke up that morning, bent over for a short prayer to start the day.  Getting up, my eyes met with the table clock right beside my bed, time has already past 7:30am. I quickly reached my phone, call my laundry man to be sure my suit was ready.... It was Saturday, 14th October, another day for singles to abandoned singlehood to YES! I DO.  "Sure! You can come picked it up in about an hour, Sir.." was the reply I got from my laundry man over the phone. The shoes I ordered from Jumia was still in the shelf glittering and I didn't need anyone to tell me that MARRIAGE was actually God's ordained thing, after all I have been a BEST MAN to nearly half a dozen of my friends.   Though the repute and what constitute marriage has come under scrutiny and a trending topic of debate lately owing to increasing numbers of divorce, but it doesn't mean that what doesn't works for others may not work for you.  I took a cab to the laundry shop and within minute

Leo Messi DEBUT BUT MBAPA STOLE THE SHOW      It was a much anticipated debut that football fans across the globe waited eagerly for, since his shocking switched from FC Barcelona to PSG on August 10th, changing club for the first time in more than his three decades playing career.  Leo Messi turned out in a different football jersey other than Barca and the Argentina national team shirts 👕.  Everything look weird just like your first experience of rollercoster ride. You can't simple say what it was like.  From his first touch on the ball and that trademark run up the right flank of the pitch, Reims fans couldn't helped than shout "Messi, Messi".   What they usually see on television was live in front of them and it was certainly weird 😳.   The build up to the match between Reims and PSG - Paris Saint-Germain was overshadowed by Leo Messi debut that Gerad Piques had to bought Ligue-1 viewing rights in Spain for 2.2 million viewers who eventually tuned in to watch

The nightmare of Nigerians   Going to bed empty stomach is now a norm to million of Nigerians, but how about going to bed with this empty stomach, and with the hope of waking up the next morning only to be wake at 9pm by who you do not recognised.  In your sleepy state, you can not figure out what is happening, you rubbed your eyes only to meet your end ( death) in human forms standing in front of you. Your house is razed, your mother begged that they kill her and allow you and your siblings to live. All her plea falls off a duck's back. She's locked inside her house, same with you and your siblings.  Your house is set ablaze while you hear your mother and siblings screaming, shouting for help and there is nothing you could do perhaps you were trying to save yourself from the burning inferno too.   How you survived the inferno is an unwanted miracle, a nightmare that will live with you forever. The scenario above is exactly what one Blessing, and many other residents of Ye
