THE PASTOR'S WIFE ( Episode 17)



Mfon and Teye began to push their boxes to the center of the room, just as I ordered them to do. It was the easiest work their tiny hands could do.

"Mummy why are we packing?" Teye asked.

"The day after tomorrow, we will be leaving for the mainland." I said, folding the clothes into a basket.

"but mummy our school is on the Island." Mfon said.

I nodded silently.
"yes I know. no more questions, let's start packing. you both should gather all your clothes, a truck will be here to start packing."

They continued to push the drawers and their boxes with all their might.
After few moments, the kids paused.

"mommy we are tired." Mfon said weakly, giving a childish attitude.

"me too mummy." Teye said.

"Let's all rest a bit."

Teye laughed and blew an exaggerated kiss back.

Mfon and I joined in the laugh, it was a meaningless laugh, Teye made us happy.
My laughter subsided, but a wistful smile was left on my face and then we started singing. And then we had dinner.

That evening, we piled up the corridor with packed properties that we were going to take to our new home at Surulere.

******
The next morning was hectic.
We woke up tired and stressed, I made breakfast for the kids and drove them quietly to school.

As they alighted from the car, I heard a car door close just by my side, my eyes snapped open.
A masculine scent of a familiar perfume hit me hard on the nose, it was irritating as I felt like puking.
I had a feeling that it must be someone very familiar, but I was afraid to look, I was trying to hide my pregnancy.

"Baby." He called out huskily.

I didn't turn, I sat comfortably on my car seat and fastened the seat belt.

"please wait! Ekom I beg you, just listen to me." suddenly I looked up, our eyes connecting. He was right in front of the car, kneeling down. parents who came to drop their kids stood to watch, passers by stood to watch.

I wanted to run him over. Kill him and bear the consequences.

"Just listen to me baby please."  He lifted his hand waving at me, but I didn't return the gesture.
"look at me Ekom, just look at me." He yelled in a baritone voice."

He looked like he had a lot to say to me. His eyes were red, he was sweating like a full bucket of water was thrown at him.

I was surprise he couldn't feel the weight of my angry stare, he was still there, not afraid. But I started the car immediately and zoomed off speedily.
I wasn't sure if he drove after me, but I drove straight to Surulere, where I rented my new house.

SAGGING BREAST…Causes, prevention and why both men and women hate it.

  We have been running a series on feminine health to make women understand more about their body system and how stuffs work. Breast sagging is an experience faced by most ladies. Some no longer have confidence in their body because their breast could not win the fight against gravity. Sagging breasts can seriously weaken women’s self-esteem making them feel less attractive to the opposite sex. Breasts have no muscles, but consist of fat, connective tissues and mammary glands, so they require constant care in order to stay well-shaped. Breasts usually start sagging after 40, but in many cases it starts even earlier. Sagging breasts are not only caused by age and pregnancy. Factors such as these put the esteem of most women to jeopardy. If you're a woman who grew up playing with Barbie dolls, you may have spotted a difference between the fashion doll's pert chest and the lower-hanging breasts of mothers, grandmothers, teachers, and other women you saw around you. The girls…...

MALE MORNING ERECTION (What Men and ladies needs to know) PART 1

I am writing about Male morning erection today. Don't be amazed, it's my job to relate the right information to you without any form of misdirection. I got a lot of questions from my beloved readers on one of the topics we discussed earlier "WHY HAVE SORE NIPPLES? Part 1 & 2" .I was delighted as we sorted issues out in my Facebook mailbox. Many young men, and even some older ones who haven’t found the right people to ask, are curious about morning erections. Most people who have a penis have the experience, with some regularity, of waking up in the morning with an erection. What Is A Morning Erection? Morning erections, colloquially referred to as "morning wood" and scientifically defined as nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) are a healthy and predictable physiological response that most men experience. Morning erections would be better described as the tail end of a series of nighttime erections, as they are just the last erection in a series. ...

FACTS ABOUT THE HYMEN AND VIRGINITY

A virgin is a person who has never had any form of sexual intercourse before being it *penovaginal, anal or oral SEX* ....period! Couple of years back, in order to encourage people who have had sex before to abstain, the term *secondary virginity* was introduced. *Hymen*: _is a thin membrane that partly covers the vagina. There are different types of hymen and some can even cover the vagina entirely (imperforated)._ Unfortunately, a lot of people use the presence or absence of the hymen to determine a female's virginity. That can be very deceptive because there are so many ladies out there without their hymen but have never had sex before. Sadly, they are expected to bleed on their first sexual intercourse and if it doesn't happen, then it means they told a lie. This controversy has gone on for decades and still going on. A lot of boyfriends and husbands have all lost trust for their partners due to this issue of virginity. _Is there anything which determines that...

I AM A MAN!!!... SO WHAT? ( The silent Agony of the male folks)

Ladies always think the society and every force that be works alternatively for most of their misfortune. In a world where both genders expected to complement each other are busy pointing accusing fingers, women especially think they're rare specie more than the male folks and no one have ever taken a single minute to consider what men pass through daily, simply because they don't complain. Men suffer in silence unlike women that makes noise, shout and scream at just a slightest of pain. Its never easy to be a man. Viewing through their lens, I concur to the fact that God foresaw a lot ahead and purposely gave men the power to dominant because they're the best fit for that role. 1.Because I am a man, I always have to make the first move in almost everything because that's what's expected of me at every point in time. Once I fail in taking the first step which I'm unsure of what the outcome will be, I'm tagged a weakling, a coward and a woman simply becaus...

THE BETRAYALS OF WOMEN.

How trustworthy are your female friends? Do you tell them all your secrets? How many men you have been with? How many abortions you have had and how good your man is in bed? How you snatched Chioma's boyfriend. How the son you have with Tony don't belong to him.... The problem of women most times is caused by their fellow women. They gossip and spread rumours about each other. They don't mind dating a man who is in a relationship or married to their friends. It is common knowledge among the male folks that one of the easiest women to take to bed are usually the friends of your girl friend or wife.  Once they are jealous of her, they become easy targets. They arrange to meet the man, telling him stories about his girlfriend or wife. They tell him secrets about his woman. Secrets he doesn't know about. Many relationships have been broken because the man most times acts on this secrets and calls off the relationship or marriage. If the man is rich, handsome a...

MEN GO AFTER WHAT THEY WANT.

Men go after what they want. A woman should not be under any impression that she is the woman a man wants to be with. Your cooking skills, sex moves and Christian like attitude may not guarantee you a space in his heart. Only a man knows what he wants and till he finds it,  everything you do will hardly make sense to him. If you have done more than this and feel you deserve more. If you have given everything and he still treats you like a nobody... It's time to move on. You ain't what he wants. It doesn't mean you ain't valuable. It doesn't mean that you have nothing to offer. It doesn't make him an evil man....... It's simply a case of you not being the woman he wants to be with. Out there, on the streets is a man looking for someone like you. He will do anything to be with you. So why waste your time and lose sleep over someone who doesn't see you in his future? Don't waste time in an unproductive relationship. Don't beat ...

Make Effective use of your Time.

Time  management behaviors are very much a matter  of choice. You choose to be efficient or you choose to be  disorganized. You choose to focus and concentrate on your highest-value tasks,  or you choose to spend your time on activities that contribute little value  to your life. And you are always free to choose. Why spend half of your day chatting online when you can use that same time and run some online courses? The starting point of overcoming your previous programming, and eliminating the mental blocks to time management, is for you to make a clear, unequivocal decision to become absolutely excellent at the way you use your time minute-by-minute and hour-by-hour. You must decide, right here and now, that you are going to become an expert in time management. Your aim should be to manage your time so well that people look up to you and use you as a role model for their own work habits.

FALZ...I KNOW YOU'RE THE BAHD GUY, BUT DON'T JOIN THE BAD WAGON. Celebrity BabyMama...the most lucrative Nigerian Business. Written by Ijeoma Esther Ogbuka

The "Baby Mama", "Baby daddy" syndrome is almost eating up the fabrics of our society and infusing its poisonous venom in every facet especially the entertainment industry. It is fast becoming the most lucrative business in Nigeria for ladies to give birth out of wedlock so long as the biological father is a celebrity or Super star. You both secretly went into the room, did what you did with legs spread, that wasn't enough. You went ahead to give us evidence of what you ate in the secret, behind the watchful eyes of your friends and fans. I guess the door was secured with lock and keys as well probably under dim green or red bulbs. Being a celebrity Baby Mama is fast becoming a means to acquire fame, and other benefits that comes with it if the "Baby daddy" in question is well known and very talented especially in the music world or the entertainment industry. Ladies struggle, hustle and pass through burning furnace just to have a child for these m...
