BOSS
In my new role, I am under the supervision of a beautiful Arab woman whose brain is more fatal than her physique. First of all she looks “GOODT.” She drives a luxury car and always has on stilettos, red lips, red nails, along with that yellow dubai gold I’ve been trying to get my hands…

TO WOMEN/ MOMS
I first feel called to speak life to every woman wishing for the fruit of the womb. Dear Mother In Waiting, I stand in prayers with you. God is faithful and shows no favoritism. It is well. In parallel, I have watched a number of you become mothers in recent years: Hope you are well……

Bush Men
The following will sound like a Nollywood scene; I am afraid, it is not … Sunday after church, I joined a friend for lunch to a local Nigerian spot. I wore a bodycon bright red dress that screamed confidence; this was likely my first sin. We sat in close proximity with, as I later found…

TO HEROINE ESTHER

BRIDE PRICE

There is no actual set amount, every family decides. Some families legit have lists of items to purchase (Cattle, Jewels, Materials,…

8 of 54: EQUATORIAL GUINEA
In our usual literary “Tour D’Afrique” we now arrive in Equatorial Guinea. I could speak of the nation’s landscape, culture and arts. But I am a servant of the people and the people want to hear of Balthazar, the unofficial sex czar. The very married man was busy de-frauding the nation he forgot to keep…

GOD IS NON-PARTISAN
I first wish to share a prophecy: “You are about to read this blog. After that you will eat. Later tonight, you will even sleep…” (-Ok now prove that God did not speak to me-) That’s the beauty of prophecies, it reverses the burden of proof on YOU. Pleasantries aside, I am a dedicated, albeit…
