King's Square. Lots of passengers and no taxis. Sunny, Prince, Clement, Pastor Ken and Agnes are all waiting to get a cab. An empty taxi pulls up and Sunny rushes to it, yanks open the passenger side door and jumps in. Others follow suit. Sighs of relief from them as they all try to settle in. Just then, another lady, Bridget rushes towards the taxi and yanks open the passenger side door. Sunny: Madam, e don full biko. Try make yu fine anoda taksi.

He's clearly uncomfortable. He sighs and then hisses. Everyone else is silent. "Chai!" Sunny finally exclaims Osakpamwan peers at him, then at Bridget and a wicked...

Peggy's hand tightened around the receiver as she listened to the Doctor read out her test results over the phone. "Did you hear me say positive, Ma'am?" he asked from the other side. "Yeah. Got it. Positive!" She said in frustration and slammed the receiver on the hook. Dammit, dammit to hell!!!!!!!!! She couldn’t believe her ears. Positive? The first and only time she’d had sex without a condom? Dammit! She was going to kill that son of a bitch. She had always known he was no good for her. With that goofy grin and stupid, puppy dog eyes. She had asked herself time and again why she had even gotten involved with him in the first place. He wasn’t her type at all, yet she had gone ahead and gotten involved with him and not just that, she’d had unprotected sex with him. Damn! She never cried. If not she would be bawling her eyes out right now. She was going to call him right away and give him a piece of her mind. She shouldn’t be feeling the misery alone. ...

Lanre's tired eyes scanned the crowded eatery and then at his watch; it was almost 4pm. He huffed impatiently because he had been waiting for over 30 minutes for his food to be brought to the counter. "Just how long does it take for one to be served around here?" he muttered to himself. He was famished, as he had not had anything to eat all day, and the service was so slow that a snail could have done a better job.  The doors swung open and a girl walked in. For a moment, the hunger pangs disappeared as Lanre beheld the loveliness of the angel before him. She was slim and tall,  wearing a tan, sleeveless jumper, with a multicoloured sash around her waist. She had on long braids reaching up to her waist. She wore flat sandals, and a very large handbag hung over one shoulder. Her skin looked smooth and creamy. She looked calm and serious and he wondered what made her so. She was the loveliest sight he had ever beheld in his life and he couldn't take his eyes off...

The Contract It was here. It was finally here. He had waited months for this. He had prayed so hard. He had even fasted once or twice for this. He had told everyone who cared to hear that he would soon be at a new level; a level they would all wish to attain. He had boasted, his tone that of a man who knew he had his kill in his hand. But he had began to lose hope when he didn't hear a word in months. He had tried reaching out but had been told he would be reached as soon as possible. And the days had rolled into weeks and months; eight months to be precise. He remembers now the sneers he got from his friends. A particular one had been bold enough to say to his face, "New level, no level". He had withdrawn into his shell, ashamed of how he had put his confidence in them, unknowingly putting himself out there to be ridiculed. He had sworn never to trust in any man again. He had done so verbally; touching the tip of his tongue with his index finger and raising it...

It was a dark and stormy night. Rain splattered against the window of my room. A flash of lightning briefly illuminated the room, followed by a loud clap of thunder. Perfect. The weather was perfect for what I had in mind. My heart beat so wildly and loudly that I expected it to jump right out of my chest any minute. Hot beads of perspiration soaked my cotton nightie. I was apprehensive because I knew what I was about to do was wrong but my deep-rooted anger spurred me on. I listened to the even breathing of my twin sister, Cherish as she slept soundly beside me, and my hand tightened around the knife I was holding under my pillow. She had no idea she was breathing her last, as I was going to kill her tonight ... Coming Out Soon...

Dr Jefferey walked through the double doors of Haven Clinic, into the tastefully furnished reception area. He eyes quickly scanned the room, taking a mental note of how many patients were waiting to see him, and then he walked briskly past the receptionist's desk into the corridor that led to his office. When he got into his office, he went straight to the adjoining room where he did private exams, to make sure that everything was in order. Satisfied, he went back into his office, sat at his desk and quickly browsed through the patients' files which were waiting for him on the large desk. He reached for the intercom and rang it, to let the receptionist know that he was ready to attend to patients, and after a while he heard a knock at the door. "Come in" he bellowed and the door swung open to admit a lady and a gentleman behind her. Woman: Good evening, doctor Doc: Good evening, madam. Please, take a seat. Woman: (signalling to the man) Mike, greet the doctor. Mike: ...

. Osakpamwan pulled over to carry two passengers, a male and a female. "Thank God dis two passenger go make my moto full. Na to blow direct to Ring Road now" he thought to himself as there were three passengers in the car already, one at the passenger's seat in front and two at the back. The man entered first and then the woman got in next. She was big-boned so it was difficult for her to fit into the seat with the three other passengers as it was a small car,an Audi 80.   Others managed to create enough space for her to fit into which she eventually did, and she slammed the door shut with relief. Osakpamwan pulled into the road,whistling to himself as he headed towards King's Square. "Chei!" The man exclaimed. "Oga wetin happen?" Osakpamwan peered at him through the rear view mirror "Dis place too tight o,make this woman dress small na" he complained. "Na where you con want make I dress go? Which space you p...

 . I like simple and natural things. Very uncomfortable with artificial and complicated stuff like  fake eye lashes,artificial nails,pencil heels etc. Why, the first time I ventured eye lashes, I was so uncomfortable that I pulled them off after a few hours. Lol. Back then, it used to be "give me a pair of jeans and a tee and I'm off". It took me a long time to wear leggings because I was too conscious of my bow legs, but a couple of my friends convinced me that it was good, so I started wearing them. It took a while for me to wear human hair because I thought it was overrated so didn't really care, but when I wore it, I looked so good that I accepted it. #Note# Guys, human hair is not overrated and there's a great difference between Brazilian hair and darling yaki. A woman will always be a woman. Lol. I'm what some people would call a tomboy. I grew up with eight brothers and their male antics were a great appeal to me. I loved climbing...
