Father's Day

She stood looking at him with tears in her eyes. 

She felt guilty, wicked, dirty and every other terrible feeling she could describe, yet, what was she supposed to do? 

She had no place to go to, and no one to turn to, and again she was afraid of her husband. 

He was after all a very powerful and  dangerous man! 

"My husband, please consider our own daughters and sons too."
She pleaded again, trying hard to convince him not to go out as usual for his daily routine and job. 

"Who do you think I'm doing all this for, my intestines? I do what I do to give them the best life, I do all these to give you the good life. This is the only thing I know how to do, this gift has been in my family for 9 generations, and you want me to give it up for who, what, why? Useless children who will still become useless in life!" He paused and looked at her with anger,  she moved back with trepidation. 

"I only care about my family and children, that is why I make sure they don't lack or keep bad company, besides, we make our bed, so we lie on it!" 

With that he thundered out of the house.

12:45pm

The young handsome man with locks and gold chain wristwatch, necklace and earrings, not more than 24 years old, walked into the temple with his back as commanded by the baba.
He knelt down and dropped the loose cash totalling about N20,000 gently inside the red calabash.

After few minutes of incantations, the baba gave him a small black container tied with a red cloth.

"Rub this cream on your manhood very well, massage your balls with it and apply enough on the cap of your penis before sexual intercourse."

The young man laughed in embarrassment at the instruction, but the baba face gave no hint of amusement or humor. 

His face was as grave as death. 

He continued as the boy swallowed his smile. 

After applying it very well, use it to make love to her, make sure you enter inside her well well and release everything inside, make sure no drop falls out and she doesn't get pregnant. This is very important she must not get pregnant." he held his ears for emphasis.

"Haba baba na small thing now. No worry I understand." the young man said.

Good, after you make love to her and release, you must never ever ever sleep with her again for life. Take her in your car or any car and drop her at her father's house, make sure her father sees you and you see him, afterwards any man she sleeps with from that day, their star and luck will come to you, and every son that came out of her father, their star and luck will come to you too." The baba said. 

"Ese sir!" the boy said smiling and licking his lips for he already had three girls in mind and anyone that picks his call first and agrees is the scapegoat. 

"One more thing, failure to adhere to these instructions, the opposite of what I said will happen to you. All your stars will go to all the men she sleep with and those fathered by her father." the baba said. 

"God forbid baba, God no go allow bad thing see us." the young man said. 

"Good, because this charm is irreversible, only death can break it. One last thing, your first million is mine o." the baba said smiling. 

"Yes sir, the first million is yours baba!" the boy promised. 

The next day
5:55pm

The weather had changed and suddenly become dark, the clouds grew darker and the air became thick, the day light was fast becoming dark as strong wind pushed the tall trees which responded by dancing to the far left and back to the far right.

A black corolla drove and parked in front of the house. 

The woman stood up to see who it was and smiled. 

"Mummy where is daddy?" the girl said smiling. 

"He's insi.. Oh here he is. My husband your daughter is here and she has company." the woman said sitting down. 

"Daddy good evening, please I want you to meet my friend, Paul, he begged to meet with you because he has a gift for you for Father's day." the girl said smiling and holding the hand of her friend. 

The two men stood face to face, eyes locked and immediately the baba's bottle of beer dropped from his hand and broke as his eyes grew wide open in utter shock and bewilderment. 

In a flash, the young man removed his hand from the girl's hand with so much force his gold chain writstwatch broke and fell to the ground, he pulled so strongly he almost broke her hands as he rushed back into the car with his locks flying and dangling in the air, driving out of the compound like a man being chased by demons. 

"Kilode!!!!!" the woman jumped up screaming as the girl turned around confused and clinging to her hand in pain. 

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!" the baba screamed 

"I am finished o, I am deadddd!!!" 

It was the young man from the day before whom the baba had made a charm for. 


Happy Father's Day


The End

I am not afraid of the storm Facing it alone isn't something I would lose sleep over But I want to conquer with you Set anarchy to never after Bring liberty to forever more Alone we are survivors, caging the fiercest waves Swimming the deepest seas But, hand in hand we would drown the ocean You and I, we would drink the rivers dry And spit out islands Kingdavid Chinaeke Ofunne Authorpreneur

Solomon's Lair!

Rated 18 Solomon's lair  I almost refused to go for the birthday party this year. Solomon always hosted a party every year, and as usual, I always gave the opening speech and acted as the MC too. I hated the drama and fake smiles all around. Each year, new faces present, old faces absent. New Friends present, Old friends lost, only me stagnant. I was always present as the best friend, the loyal soldier, meanwhile I was notoriously known for not celebrating my own birthday. It was so bad that most of my friends didn't even know my date of birth, just my age. Yes, it was that bad! It was an exhausting exercise for me. The cake and speeches, by God I hated the hypocrisy. So this year I swore to him by the old gods and new, that I wasn't gonna be in the spotlight of his special day. I just wanted to drink and chill quietly in solitude. Surprisingly, without any fuss, he obliged me. ''Obi is now a man o'' I smiled. ...

Riotous Love

I have always found Tony, my boyfriend, fascinating His write-ups and rants about bad governance and patriarchy got me wet and awestruck every single time I visited his timeline  Whenever he wrote a piece on Facebook and Twitter, he got thousands of likes and comments I always read every comment, especially from women who were mesmerized by his writing prowess I was once part of such women until I decided to shoot my shot, and, like cupid, I hit him straight in the heart A simple "Hello, I've read and enjoyed all your stories, maybe you could write ours someday, hope I'm not overreaching?" I had to drink almost a full bottle of bailey's to find courage for that stunt, and today, we are celebrating 8 months of the best love story ever. He was my Mr. Perfect, everything I could ever ask for and more It wasn't surprising when he asked me to join him and go for the peaceful protest here in Lagos, and like a love-struck puppy, quickly I jumped up and said yes That ...
