A TRUE LOVE, A SINCERE WRONG, A WORTHY EXIT-Daloy Stiz


Love, Oh my love, My dearest love, My honey
Sweetie pie, Honey, and many other golden pleasantries
Persisted for one-and-a-half years that seemed like centuries
I truly erotically loved Juliet
Though not yet a start but a starlet
Did I not hear God clearly?
Or I took the message so barely?
It was one of those messages that holds life
I started after one year of spiritual relationship without strife

By his grace I got her a Bible
Made me seem so reliable
Then I got her gifts that seemed more attractive than the Bible-
Now this made me seem bankable
But ever before all these, he said:
‘Make her a friend, she has 3 out of 5 things your wife would have’
I was calm about it but was not so sure of what afterwards, I heard
He also said ‘I don’t want you to get something like it and not the very it’
All these I heard in prayer sessions
Though a voice kept saying ‘she is the one’ outside the sessions
And I despised the voice and prayed that it should reside
Behold it did subside

Caution came from a legend of faith
‘Be careful of entering a relationship so you won’t go into a marriage earlier
than you should, I don’t want a case where someone would become history in the faith’
This was the Sunday after I went on a date
Making it all seem like the devil’s bait.
Now, this constrained David and seeing the need for her to be delivered
He stepped back emotionally and put eros behind him and never staggered

Flipping through the pages, one year after…

 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...
