I was surprised to see Mrs. Martina, my neighbor coming in with fried rice and peppered chicken. “All these for me?” I said. “Sure, you are so much loved, here, take them. Tell me, how were your mother-in-law and his siblings?” I chortled, “you love chatting.’ She cackled. “I knew you are eager to hear my story. I’m glad to inform you that my mother-in-love is a golden mother and my golden adviser. She is one in a million, cordial, generous, charming, cool, and collected.” “I’m delighted to hear that. You even call her mother-in-love, not mother-in-law. You have a cordial relationship then. Keep it up, girl. Did I hear you well? You said she is your golden adviser.” “Sure, she is my good neighbor, can you believe she said, men are prostitute and I need to watch and pray for him?” “o yea!” (Mrs. Martina) “as if she knows her son has weakness of ladies, she recommended good behavior towards him. Wisdom in talking to him and never giving a little space for the devil. That woman was jus

I felt Demola was not happy with me. There was a kind of dark cloud I was sensing. I felt uneasy. It's as if I matched a poisonous snake unknowingly and wait for it to bite me anytime. Something warns me he will revenge or strike when I m not expecting it. He looked at me narrowly and said, "and who will be your chief bridesmaid may I ask" He said it as if testing me. I said one of my friends on campus, not particular. He kept on looking at me and said," why not your recent friend, Monica? " I did not know when I started pleading with him not to do it. He shook his head and said, " If I could obey you, then I do not see any reason for you to throw away my suggestion as your future husband. Think about it. We are laying a foundation and it must be solid. I will watch to see if you would be willing to please me." " Does it mean you are paying me back in my coin? I knew it, you have not forgiven me. Anyway, it is well." He looked at me and picked me up in his big strong arms and carrie

"Nooo, this is not happening," I  can not believe that a day to my wedding, I would find my own chief best on top of my husband having fun. I caught Monica and Demola in his office having the nicest of time, engrossed in their world. I woke up to find myself in the hospital. I was told I fainted. Demola rushed me to the hospital and called my neighbor, Mrs. Martina. She was with me till I woke up. "Thank God, you are okay now. I was so much afraid. Your mom and sister are at home. I was wondering why he doesn't want them to know. My neighbor asked what went wrong then I recollected seeing Monica and my own man making love right there in his office. I was so shocked and the rest is history. " Do you think it is right to go ahead with this marriage?" She shook her head and told me not to back out but to win the battle. I kept on thinking if I could win the battle. Everything happened for a purpose she said. It is all for your learning. Go ahead and learn. Marriage is a place of c

"So, you are a virgin? Wow, I'm so proud of you, my wife. You are a bundle of joy and happiness to me. You've been keeping yourself all this while just for me. I don't deserve you at all. This is sheer mercy from above. I smiled, content that I finally accomplished my desire. I could have thrown it away cheaply to a childhood, friend. He wanted to have me then and was becoming desperate. When I wouldn't give in. He made up his mind to have it by force, by organizing his other mean friends to kidnap me. I was on the way to my school one day along a lonely side when four strong boys picked me up. I screamed and yelled tearing up their shirts like a wild cat. I remembered holding on to them and tearing with my teeth. I succeeded in biting all of them in turns. Desperate to save my virginity, I hit three of them in the groin. The fourth escaped before I could do it. I fought viciously like a tiger. They later told the boy I was a wicked witch. I told my parents, who reported to the scho

Children are gifts from the Lord, I'm not God who gives children. I believe in God's timing" I spoke to mama, my mother-in-law, my Golden adviser. She has been putting a lot of pressure on me unknowingly, so I believe. Two months into the marriage, she called asking if I had taken in. I replied, "Is it  not too early mama.?"  I reported to Demola and he told me to ignore her. This is the third time in six months for crying out loud. What will I do with the mother of my husband making life difficult for me? "Six months have gone, nothing yet? Don't you tell me it's too early now? I've been sensing you are not fertile though, he met you as a virgin. Is it your virginity that will produce my grandchildren? Look into this matter and decide what to do. That was my husband's mother disturbing my peace. I have been enjoying my hubby who is getting more reasonable only for the mom to be pushing him into the arms of another woman. It is kind of suggestive to be putting pressure on
