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…

Lateral Thinking with FEMI OLADELE

Blessed trinity; how many times and in how many ways? How convenient it is for me to try to estimate the virtues that the presence of GOD exudes; in ignorance obviously. Can you imagine the power of HIS might? And HE took me through a journey of understanding and I failed HIS test, because my human ability is frail and fails. Only a supernatural understanding of GOD as the three-in-one GOD appearing as: Our help in ages past; Our hope for years to come; and Our very present help in time of need. If you therefore need help, fetch from the fullness thereof; it is inexhaustible yet with a price. Many misconstrue the gifts of GOD as free; I presume, it is cheap and affordable but not free. The difference between HIM and his arch rival is that the latter charges high interests like Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. GOD pays premium however; if you have to choose; choose LIFE and BLESSING. It is not without challenges that this life we live, that I live, actually.

#PROSE MONDAY# THE LINE

There is an arbitrary line, which once you cross, you know in your heart that you can’t step back. This is for those of us who have crossed that line and now, are somewhere betwixt full fruition and total loss… ‘If I did not dream, it would have been acceptable, If I didn’t nurse these thoughts to maturity, I would be flawlessly faultless, And if I had used adequate contraception to intercept this zygotic dream, this musing would be absolutely unnecessary, But the truth is, right now, I have lost the right to give up and as a matter of necessity, I have to reach the other line- the finish line. In and out of the labour ward, that has to be my future route. Now whether or not there’d be an after party, that’s seemingly irrelevant. Provided my baby is born! And although, like hyperbaric oxygen, the O ₂ of fierce thoughts roll through  my mind at an extremely high pressure, I have to stand. And yet, if a lumber puncture is done on my mind, there is a si...

WANNABE INTERN

Week 2 Message to the Pre-Intern: don’t lose hope! Week 2, for me, was 2 months post-induction. This was when the wait began to sink in. You mean I’ve been home for two whole months? By now, I was literally chewing on my fingernails. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t scared of getting a space, but I certainly wasn’t confident about any place anymore. That is when I began to write this book. Today is the 12th of September and I sit at the dining table in my parents’ house, typing at 11:27pm (because well, I have an editing job to finish up, but mostly because I don’t have to go anywhere tomorrow morning). If I don’t want to, I don’t even have to take a bath tomorrow morning because well, I can stay indoors all day! (I most likely will stay indoors, except for those few minutes when I step out to buy hot akara for my akamu). I am spent. You know, I have applied to a couple of places now. Let me start with the first: LS Health Service Commission At the State Health servic...
