Bro. Amos [7] Shadow & His Boys *****Good morning and happy new month to all esteemed users of this platform. The series is a fictional story about a fellow who does not exist in the real sense. It is just to bring to the fore the experiences of perceived inmates and the responsibility to accept that one is wrong when he is indeed wrong. Kindly read with a third eye.***** I would never forget a particular incident that happened to me in the prison. In my own prison room,…

Bro. Amos [8] Castrate Him! On this fateful day, Sister Hannah came to visit me in the correction centre. I shared some revelations with her from the scripture and she also shared some with me too. And we had a bible study on sanctification. After the bible study, Sister Hannah gave me a yes concerning my marriage proposal to her. I forgot myself that I shouted aloud, and this attracted some of the prison officials. They asked me the reason why I shouted and with happiness…

Wedding Eve Murder I was in my room with my best friend, Excel, she is my best friend in the world, my ride or die. We have been through thick and thin together and am not sure anything can break us up. We are in my hotel room preparing for my engagement party. It is supposed to be the happiest day of my life but unfortunately, it isn't. Marrying a man just for the money and what he has to offer is really painful. I can't even marry the man I truly love. Paul, my supposed…

The gods Are Dead Oma ran through the back door as the masquerade pursued her into the forest that leads to the great river. She knew that the best thing for her at the moment was that she must not be caught. She went all out to save her head, leaving her two months old daughter, Uzoma in the wooden bed. She kept running as her breast tangled on her chest, excreting the milk all over her blouse. She ran as quickly as she could, giving the masquerade a long space. It is a…

Cut Short Last night was horrible. This is not an exaggeration, I mean every bit of the word. Usually, I sleep by 9:00pm except on Friday when I go to bed a little late, knowing that Saturday isn't a work day. So, last night after dinner, I jumped into bed and zoomed, I landed in the middle of nowhere. It was a dream though, I saw some men wielding weapons of mass destruction. Out of nothing, I found myself compelling them never to use that on anybody. We aren't in a war…

Silent Tears There are many mistakes people make in life. Some change your story, some destroy your accomplishments, change your choices and most mistakes change your life. My existence began as a mistake. I was not even supposed to be born because according to tradition, frail children like me were supposed to be left in the forest to die. But due to motherly love and the time my mother waited for a child, my mother escaped with me to another village. I was a child of ill…

Bro. Amos [9] Youthful Exuberance Most times I don’t understand the way some of our brothers nowadays normally think. Imagine Brother Daniel ooo, he has not proposed to me and he has been calling me a series of pet names. Anytime he sends me a message or he calls, he always addresses me as my lover or my angel. WhatsApp too is not spared, but is it that spirituality normally takes away the sense of these church brothers? Well, I don’t know too. At first, I thought it was…

Bro. Amos [9] Funny Brothers in Love The will of God might not be a very smooth route but trust me it’s the best route for every man. Permissive will or whatever you call it came into existence because of the fall of man and it is never God’s original plan, the minister declared nodding his head. And he rounded off with Ephesians 5v17, which says: ‘Wherefore be ye not unwise but understanding what the will of the Lord is’. Seriously, the Lord dealt with me on this verse for…

23 Years After: What Has Become Of Our Democracy? One day holiday is enough to ease the stress of many days. In Nigeria, today is a national public holiday, declared in remembrance of the fairest general elections ever conducted in the nation, in 1992. Unfortunately, the election was annulled. The supposed winner of the elections, late Chief M.K.O Abiola's supporters had taken to the street to jubilate his victory at the polls. That was the excuse of the military government…

Ashley Jinxed The Sheriff Ashley visited his grandpa's gravestone in their old house on the top of the village mountain. It was his usual routine every Wednesday evening to go to the top of the village mountain from where he would be able to see the whole community and rest his head. On this particular Wednesday, while he was on the mountain, the rain came down heavily and there was no place where he could hide his head except the large Dongoyaro tree that is next to the…

Who Is Man? Biologically, man is seen as a highly social being, and is an animal as well. He is a biological entity who shares the attributes of physical life with the millions of plants and animals species to which he is related. Man!! To me, the simplest definition to give man is that man is an unpredictable element. Only man would tell you that a promise is a debt but will also tell you that promises are made to be broken. Only men would go behind laughing at you now, and…

Bro. Amos [10] ~ A Wrong Voice I am aware that some of you are blaming me? Are you not aware that Sister Hannah had refused to reply to all my messages for the past four months and I even sent Bro Eric to her but to my surprise she told me that Sister Hannah ignored him. Last night I had a terrible dream. Sister Beauty came visiting and I was holding her hands as we were gisting and suddenly Sister Hannah appeared from nowhere, I was shocked, and almost immediately Sister…

When A Ghost Visits The Appearance and disappearance of ghosts is one thing that has held sway for quite a while. As an individual, over the years, I have not been able to come to terms with this belief. My first experience with fear for a dead fellow was when I was younger. I found it difficult to go to a lonely place all by myself. At times, it becomes difficult to go to the bathroom without being in the company of someone else. You may wonder if ghosts really exist. Truth…

The Patient Dog.... This early morning, as I woke up to go to work, I witnessed people were already on the road to work. Every Monday is such a busy day for me, and other people as well. The rush to get to work on time is intense. As early as 4:30 Am, men, women, even children that are going to school are already plying the roads, against all odds to meet with time. As good as this may sound, a lot of these early risers may not be patient enough to make for a free flow of…

Bro. Amos [11] Judgement Day We were all surprised to see this popular politician in the correction centre. We heard that this man has a case against the government and also a case to answer with his wife at the courtroom. This man from what we heard has stolen trillions of naira from the government purse. Wait, how can a man be heartless like this? Why will a man decide to steal the money meant for the development of a whole country? Have these people suddenly forgotten…

Fourth Man In The Fire `Breaking News!!` `This rainy season has sent signals of high level lightning as such, all electrical appliances should be put off when it gets stormy.` This is the news that made the rounds in the opening of the rainy season around the mountain city of Maryland. There was a sense of fear resulting from this news from the meteorological department. Humphrey and his family who live in the farming area of the city with neighbours around them worked in…

The Fourth Man In The Fire Good day friends. The fourth man in the fire is a true-life story, but the characters in this write have been modelled by the author to take the place of the persons that were involved in the real-life story. You can read the part one of the story here. The ambulance blew through the highway, with the heavy traffic, it got to the hospital and disembarked the victims, Bricks and Johnson-Marley tongue ICU. Nurses and doctors scurried around to get…

A City That Never Goes To Sleep Don't loud it! This is the simplest way to live life around here. Whatever you wish to do, go down low as much as possible. Craving to make people know you got what you do or who you are and the weight you carry may bounce back on you. You know that kind of grammar people will begin to blow hot when you hit their vehicle. That's what I mean. Have you heard that special song by one Nigeria music star, Tony Tetuila? #YouDonHitMyCar Wahala never…

Three Months At Sea There is always a first time to anything you wish to do or you are involved in. The first time one becomes a father spells a lot in mind. So too to a first time mother. You assume the position of a caretaker and the responsibility that comes with it. Looking back, I could give a report of how I led my sweetheart to the hospital that fateful morning for an assumed check but the medics asked her to me given a bed. You know, as first timers, there was not…

Hole In The Woods ***♪Memories follow left and right*** ***I can see you over here,*** ***You take up every moment…*** That was the latest song ringing in Teresa's head. Joint with the fact it was by her two favorite singers, it was always up in her skull. Not even her coming exams could take away her happiness. It had been a while since she had been this happy. Her hand rummaged the edges of the figure in the black and white picture. The song had reminded her all about him…
