FLEE!

-
The mere thought of George being her friend got Nne excited. The blush on her face was so evident as she remembered how they would chatter away into the night before her parents got back from work. 

George was her neighbour's brother who lived in the flat opposite theirs. He always came around during breaks from school. 
Nne was attracted to him for many reasons including the fact that George was handsome. He was a 300level undergraduate studying Theatre Arts at the University of Ibadan. He would tell Nne about school and all the activities on campus. It was always fun being with him. Nne loved to hear all about the university. She would be there sometime in the nearest future. She thought to herself, "he's such a brilliant guy".
                       .................................
Today, George asked Nne to come watch a play he wrote as a seminar which was acted out by  his drama team in the school theatre. Nne was excited. She wanted to see what this handsome and brainy guy that made her laugh so well had done. So,as she knocked on the door of the flat opposite hers that afternoon, she remembered some words from dad this morning. 
"This is an exception. It's nothing that serious" she shrugged. 
                  .........................................
George was happy to see Nne. His brother had gone to work, so it was just the two of them. George smiled at the thought. He brought some collections and told Nne he wanted her to see a particularly interesting one. All she wanted was to see his work. 

It was just first scene, Nne was surprised to see it was an 'American movie',

A woman walked into her room from work and made to pull off her dress.
She takes off her dress and was already taking off her underwear.

Nne got uncomfortable... She turned to look at George, he was staring lustfully at her. 

At this point, the woman was going to be naked and Nne jumped up and made for the door. George tried to calm her down, told her it was nothing that bad. He stopped the movie and slot in a music video. Of course it was no gospel song. George was singing all those lustful enticing words  and coming close to her.

Oh no! This time, she fled. Thank goodness, the door was not locked. 
She ran into her flat, her heart racing so fast. 
She remembered those words again from the family morning devotion earlier today,'

ABSTAIN FROM EVERY APPEARANCE OF EVIL'
Nne cried as she wondered, "what if he had forced me, what if I had lost my guard to the wiles of George and given myself away like some piece of cheap material, what if he drugged me? I would have been a disappointment to me, my family, to God?

                ............................
Don't wait for that temptation to come before you flee. Your legs may have become too stuck in the ground to make a U-turn before you know it! 

It is FLEE the temptation(from the very appearance) and not FEEL it! 

Don't try to feel it,  don't be caught in web that would hinder, slow down or destroy your destiny!

DINNER WITH COOK DEVIL

-
The Lord is my shepherd i shall not want But For greedy want of immediate food, I lusted at the goodies displayed before me I was fully aware of the cook. He doubled as a waiter. But then they say, "if you want to dine with the devil, use a very long spoon" So yes, I sat at ease with him To enjoy the dainties at his table So long as the stretch of my spoon was very long, it was no harm I thought I was smart But the arch enemy of my soul Oh how patiently he watched me devour with pleasure every piece of meat he served Because he knew I was his MEAT! (He must have stared at me with disgust and mockery) I didn't realize how helpless I had been poured into his palm Too heavy with his meal I became; I was full to stupor He held me down like meat for the slaughter But oh MERCY was right on time to save me from the sledge hammer of the arch enemy that would have crushed me on the table of the destruction. Have u booked a date with the devil to ha...

AMAKA LIVED MY DREAM!

-
Growing up as a child was not much of a fun to me; I mean my parents were strict disciplinarians who would not let me mingle with other children. They also were not always around for me to talk with. So I just carved a place for myself in my own world. There in my world, I was an orator in a big TV station, speaking to a large number of crowds in an accent so clear, flowing and beautiful. As much as I had these dreams, I was too scared they would never come alive. I was too shy and reserved and this was in sharp contrast with the qualities of a communicator, an orator for that matter. I disappointed my dreams too many times; it made me live a life of regrets too early in life. For every promise to live out those dreams and thoughts in my head, I failed. One time i cannot forget and completely regret: There was an announcement that there would be a debate in various classes and the emerging winners in the various classes would compete in the finals before the entire...

SOUR

-
"Ewooo, ewooo, papa Nnamdi, Biko oo. You will kill me today. Chai, Chineke merem ebere(God, have mercy on me)" Mrs Adindu screamed as whips from Mr Adindu's belt made their painful rhythmic moves up and down her succulent light skin.  "It is me that married you and not any other person. I have told you not to expose this body anyhow." "Since you have refused to give me more children, I don't understand what you are using this body for up and down" he spat on.  When her husband was satisfied with his daily dose of lashing her, she dragged her limping body to a corner and was grateful for the succour of her dear son, Nnamdi.  The little boy of 5years dragged the edge of his oversized shirt and wiped his mother's eyes, pulling her head close to his bulgy stomach.  He was already used to the daily show except that today, this man was pounding against his mother even harder. He did not only use his belt, he used knife to cut through her skin.  Nnamd...
