LOVE NOTES- Victoria Soyobi


Image result for love notes picture
Love is life.
Life, they say, is not fair. Is love fair?
Let’s work it out together
You love someone so much that your day is incomplete without him
You think about him every second of every day
You want to pick the phone and call him almost every hour
When you speak with him, your day is just splendid and everyone around can see
When you get to spend time together,
Your whole world is made just perfect
He is the first that comes to mind
When there is any news, good or bad!
Everyone around, friends and foes alike,
Know his status in your life
That’s because you wouldn’t stop talking about him
Directly, or indirectly
You dress gorgeously, carry yourself with charisma
With the hope that you may come across him by ‘chance’
You would do anything to be with him
But guess what!
He likes it when you call, but would barely think about calling you
He likes it when he sees you, but he wouldn’t make effort to
He probably says hi only if you say hello first
You are the last person to know what’s going on in his life
Good or bad, because he doesn’t remember to tell you
Oh wait; he calls or says hello first
When he needs something or wants a piece of information.
He does some things once in a while though, that makes you go crazy,
Then you think he loves you
Yes he does, probably, but you are not just the first in his life
He is probably nice and kind but only when you demand it
We can go on and on…
You love him, he loves you;
But it’s not just the same- and it’s very frustrating
Now, here’s a twist to our story:
There’s a second guy in the picture-
Let’s put him in your shoes, and you- well in the first guy’s shoes;
He cares so much, but you only say hi when he says hello
Are you being paid back in your own coin?
This guy has a girl who’s all over him, whom by the way, he barely notices
Can we say, that what goes around comes around?
Sincerely, I don’t know
But that chain, it seems continuous and unending
It sort of reminds me of God’s love;
He loves us so much and yet,
We place him after ourselves, someone else, or something else.
Think, about it.

 EPISODE 3 ‘Oya sorry now, we’re almost there.’ Felix kept saying as he partially carried his dear friend.  She wouldn’t hear the last of this episode once it was over, that much he knew! ‘Awww…you don’t know how painful awww… this is’ ‘Sorry, sorry’ ; he kept saying So they eventually got to the ER and after pulling out her card, used ‘medical student connection’ to see the resident that was on call in Internal Medicine unit. ‘Hello dear’ , Dr. Brown said, looking keenly at the girl that was almost doubled over in pain ‘I think you should lie down on that couch’ ‘What exactly is the problem?’ ‘She just started complaining about her abdomen about half an hour ago’ ‘Oh’. ‘Can you point to where exactly the pain started?’ he asked ‘Here’ . Linda pointed to the area around her umbilicus. ‘Have you had any episode of vomiting?’ ‘No sir’ Felix answered spontaneously. ‘You must be her boyfriend, right?’ Dr.Brown asked, with a mischievious grin ...

EPISODE 5 ‘So, really, whose patient is she?’ Doctor Afuarida asked with impatience written all over his face Bola indicated, her body language reeking of timidity, ‘Sir, she was supposed to be my patient, but I haven’t been able to clerk her’ ‘Oh, really? She was supposed to be?’ ‘Do you even have any other patient on the ward?’ ‘Ehm…no sir. But my other patient has just been discharged’ ‘Please, leave my ward round. You are obviously unprepared to truly learn the art of medicine.’ She knew better than to plead and therefore, walked out with the little dignity she still had left. He continued lecturing the rest of the students ‘You know, whatever you do now will speak later in life and especially in your medical career. If you want to be a good doctor, it definitely begins from now- taking responsibility’ Dr.Amao, please give me a summary on this patient ’22 year old female, had appendectomy done. 1 st day post-op. Mild pain at op-site. Currently on IV Met...

CHRONICLES OF A NIGERIAN PHYSIOTHERAPIST by 'Bola Abioye

EPISODE FIVE ‘Mum, who called you this time again?’ I finally asked. ‘Oh… Charles, that’s what matters to you now right. What matters to you is if it’s Prophet Jabesh or Prophet Judas that called me?’ Then I burst into laughter. I can’t help but wonder why these prophets must bear names as Judas, Jabesh…if you know, you know. Then she changed it for me straight up. ‘Charles, why exactly are you laughing? You know I get scared anytime you get close to that girl and you know that I am at the risk of having stroke with the way my blood pressure rises in little situations.’ There she goes again. My mum gets little information on health precautions and that’s the end. We hear nothing else save what she has learnt in the house for about at least a month. She subscribes to all sorts of health tips on her network and then tries to confirm her newly found information from me. She has several facts on why eating eba, using an onion bulb that has been cut once and use...
