Episode 2

"So you want to keep this baby?".Sade asked me, looking worried.
"Of course she would. You still dey ask?." Tola cut in before I could even answer.
"That's murder you know? And its a sin."
"Oshey, prophetess. It's her body abeg, do we need to bring religion into this?"
"It's not about religion o. Murder is morally wrong.Besides, she could have used contraceptives."
"Aunty, we both know that these stuffs are not always 100% effective."
"I know, But it doesn't justify anything jhur."

I looked at my two friends as they both argued. I'm faced with a dilemma that I can't run away from.
"What did Tunde say about it?." Sade turned to me, now looking sad.
"He doesn't want the baby. Said he's not ready to be a father yet." I shrugged.
"See why you should abort this pregnancy." Tola shouted at the top of her voice. "Even the father isn't interested."
She closed her eyes, trying to calm down, pausing before she continued "You've got a life, future and a career. Would you throw all these under the carpet cause of a baby?. Besides, you could have more children in future. You're still young."
I sighed.
"Look Funke, Sade said looking at me with concerned eyes. I know its your decision to make, but think about it well. Fine, Tunde is stupid for leaving this baby, but you shouldn't. Is abortion the only way out?."

Should I abort this pregnancy?. Should I keep this baby?. Someone please help me.

    Well, my advice to you is that you should keep the Baby then child after birth to a motherless home or to someone who can take of the child. If you can't take care of the child.
    Abortion is illegal 1, it is murder & evil Act 2, your life is also at a great risk.

The storm before Calmness

Chapter 3 "Chinedu!!, how many times have I told you never to play with that boy again?, ehn, these Hausa people that do not have respect. If I see you with him again, I'll make sure I cut that ear of yours. Okwa I na ha nu." Living in a "face me and face you apartment" comes with it's own problems. First of, you have your neighbors' 'I better pass my neighbor' generator, always making sure that you don't get your night sleep, you could also hear husbands and wives fighting and instead of them settling it like adults, they exchange words like two crazy people, No one dares stop them or else you want trouble. "Mummy Chinedu!!", a woman in her late 30's called out. Unlike her rival, who looked swollen like freshly baked shoprite bread, she looked really slim, with her dimples, showing, even when she talked, and her face, beautifully made as if her Chi took extra time to make her perfect. "Ehn o,Grandma Chinedu." She rep...

Relationship Palava

Let’s have a divorce  “What do you mean by that? This must be a joke right?”  He gave a nervous laugh and looked up at her. She wasn’t smiling, instead, she had a sad and frustrated look plastered on her face. He knew he had messed up.  Turning the papers she had dropped qangrily on the glass table, his mind went  back to when they had first moved into the duplex they had built together, six months into their marriage, with the happiness he had felt when he first saw her still fresh in his memory. She looked beautiful,-she still looks that way- and had a nice figure even after all these times. He has always been grateful to God for blessing him with a wonderful and caring woman which was more than he could ever wish for. This same woman is planning to leave him. He knew it was all his fault. “I’m tired of this marriage. You told me you would change Femi. I saw the signs from the beginning, but I chose to ignore them because you promised. You promised me Femi. Now you...

The Amala Experience

 Not to be tribalistic or anything,but I I'm not a fan of Yoruba foods(well until recently). I've just really loved eating Igbo delicacies cause we have lots of them. From Oha  to Nsala , to Onugbu , to Ofe akwu, and the rest, Igbo soups just have a way of touching your soul. Unlike Yoruba soups, Igbo soups require lots of money to prepare. Also, Yoruba soups are not numerous at all. I can count just two or three Yoruba soups that are usually served at events and are eaten.  I went to an event last week Saturday. And while the waiters were serving food and drinks and all I took a glimpse of the sumptuous amala. Now, Efo is the only Yoruba soup that I've tried and enjoyed, probably because you can eat it with either rice or swallow. Anyways, I've just eaten it with Rice and I think with Semovita a few times. So, flashback to a few months before this, I had tasted efo with pounded yam for the first time too, and it was nice. It wasn't as bad as I expected.  Before I...
