The Plot for The Love Seal

The Love Sealed story is a real life story in fiction for moral lessons to learn, experience, enjoy and digest. All written and narrated for readers delight and pleasure in simple and direct language with some interesting Yoruba uncommon adage and parables that served as concrete aroma with added flavour to the romantic contemporary story of a pretty paragon of Beauty and a reckless Ibadan city based billionaire and prominent politician .

Yetunde, an orphan from Ikole-Ekiti town who lost her parents very early in life through painful and untimely life happenings remained the lead character which the whole story about The Sealed Secret started and ended with in a passionate way.

In addition, were featured: the Ajorosun prominent politician and a billionaire with great substance and influence; who doubles as Segun’s father and the father-in-law of Yetunde? The only boy that featured in the story was the controversy child called Junior whose identity created a friction in the whole Pandora.

Also involved prominently was Mr Segun, the young lad of a former Minister of The Federal Republic of Nigeria who woo and hooked Yetunde like a prey was so unfortunate to be eating inside the same rotten pot of love with his father unknowingly until the pot got forcefully broken and scattered by mere deadly mistake!

The grand–mother of Segun who was tough like the Iron woman on Yetunde could not be exempted from the narratives.

The nice and heart-felt novel started with pretty Yetunde, a resourceful and promising daughter who suddenly became an orphan at the early stage due to the untimely death of her mother through a terrible and pathetic motor accident.

As a result, Yetunde, a beauty queen who was taken to be an angel in human skin came to Ibadan city from Ekiti State to be living with her late mother’s junior sister who took good care of her through the university days until she got hooked married to promising Segun a brave and versatile lad of Ibadan popular billionaire Politician who jealously guarded his soul-mate until the inevitable occurred.

The highly brilliant celebrity, a sharp girl got admission to one of the notable Nigerian universities and graduated with first class honours! Her outstanding performances at the campus could not be ignored by the university senate who appointed Yetunde as Student Ambassador and financial Advisor to The Unillorin Consult!

Along the line, Yetunde got hooked with Segun for a lasting hot-love relationship. The magnetic contact became a deal contract of life time journey as husband and wife through a lavishly sponsored marriage introduction where money was forced to talk loudly. Meanwhile, it was Segun who unveil and tasted the pretty virgin lady when they met inside his apartment at Agbowo on the first day of visitation as an august guest.

Like soul-mates, the intimate love affairs between Yetunde and Segun began with blossom promise of togetherness for life without any break or jam like that of Romeo and Juliet.

Actually, the journey of sincere and genuine love started on good notes. Segun got acquitted with Yetunde. The bond between them was strange and uncommon. There was never a day without communicating each other until the burning love and deeper affections got faded away by the scorching sun of life.

However, anything good is not for a single person to taste or pleasurably enjoy. One man’s victory another man’s loss. The joy of victory, the anguish of loss and the reciprocal relationship between the duo.

A victor is one who wins gallantly in a contest of life and a loser is the one who losses or was won or defeated in a life content. Every human being is fighting a battle to win or loss! It pays to win and very painful to be a loser!

The Ajorosun billionaire politician saw Yetunde and could no longer control his lust and love for her. Out of desperate actions, Yetunde was raped secretly in love by Segun’s father with a seal and promise of sincere care for life. The hidden act was between Yetunde and the billionaire. The evil was planned and hatched in the dark kept intact for a while.

 Although in life, when the garments on masquerade caught fire; face of the image inside will be identified. Yes, it may take time, the photographer will one day come to lime-light to present the clear-picture of captured images taken with his camera! Nothing could be edited, it is how you post yourself that the camera would capture!

Thereafter, Yetunde became a celebrity with bountiful things to enjoy with as a side-chicks of the billionaire politician, the father of Segun her fiancé. What a havoc.

Every action with a reaction and result. Yetunde got pregnant unknowingly to the billionaire but the child was cunningly given to Segun to be responsible.

However, the corpse buried inside sand had one leg uncovered. The born child resembled Segun’s father too much which led to suspicion among the immediate family members. It is for the sake of blind not to go astray that those who have eyes to see are usually not at a far distant!

Despite the hidden secret, Yetunde never disclosed what went between herself and Segun’s father to anybody living or dead. The single act of making the sealed secret intact earned her a deserved gift of 100million Naira from the generous billionaire sugar daddy.

But unfortunately, both Yetunde and Segun’s father through caution to the winds by allowing Junior to have a clue of what transparent between them simply because they took the boy for granted.

A mosquito can make an airplane to crash! The innocent boy could not keep what he saw and heard inside the stomach. He exposed the rotten pot of love to his father without weighing the implication of such revelation under the roof.

The broiling reactions and accusation of infidelity against the house wife and mother of Junior coupled with the unhampered DNA test that confirmed Junior to be a bastard led Yetunde out of her matrimonial home called: The Innocent Villa.

Madam Yetunde got tumbled by the storm of life that resulted from the rape of innocent through the father-in-law; a notable Ibadan politician and billionaire, who could not wait for his shame to be made public by committing a silent suicide. The untimely death of lion was publicly announced eventually!

Both Yetunde and Junior, the brilliant naughty boy and the bone of contention in the story were bundled away from the comfort of Innocent Villa mansion by Segun to face the ordeal of life in collaboration the strong backings of her mother, the grand-mother-in law, the only lron Lady around!

There was no solicitor or an advocate to fight her case, with the rights and privileges due to the parties involved. What a great cheat and a highly serious punishment to bear for life simply because The Lion had a sudden death before the dawn of the day.

The story ended with deep marrow pains and rains of spell plus curses by the lron-lady Grandma on Madam Yetunde, the CEO of Destiny Concept who was driven out of the innocent Villa by her grieved husband with life time burden of regrets and disappointment that were too severe to bear alone!

Life could sometimes come up with ugly pictures or bitter experience!  No matter the dashed of hope, to be alive is far better than being a living ghost. A dog alive is far better than the dead lion. After all, no matter what; when there’s life; there’s hope anyway!

‘’Nothing happens without a concrete reason. If it does not have a purpose, the Good God would not have made it possible ‘’-Assert Madam Yetunde who suddenly became a single mother with her controversial son to begin afresh a new life with 100 million naira to slaughter!

2.

The Beauty Queen like An Angel

Yetunde was born 48years ago. A first-class university graduate. Her father, a professionally trained grade two- teacher died seven years after she was born at Ikire town in Osun State of Nigeria.

 Yetunde was an easy going lady thirsty to make airing success of her life by the grace of God. She was a goodly child and exceptionally innocent daughter with an incredibly stumpy background. 

As a determined citizen, Yetunde was head strong to become an educated person who can be well respected and trusted in the society. She desired to stand out as a daughter of destiny in life and make a difference in her world!

Left with a single mother that catered for her welfare and good ruptured throughout the secondary school that she attended as a promising offspring. She naturally had raw tongue and an attractive feminine physique.

 A fine girl and thoroughly bred. She was the joy of her charming mother who watched over her like an eagle on the mountain top!

Naturally, she grew up to be loving, brave, diligent, amiable, elegant, dependable and intelligent and of good breeding among her peers.

Unfortunately, the mother of Yetunde had a terrible motor accident along the line that claimed her life at a prime age like the husband. The sad event occurred when the mother was returning from one of her business trip.

The public transport bus she travelled with had an accident at Asejire town near Ibadan city a few days to the end of the year. A tanker vehicle loaded with engine oil tumbled making oil split over-flowed and spread on the road. As a result, everywhere was very slippery for motors.

Suddenly, the bus where Yetunde’s mother was inside ran into the slippery spot unknowingly, the driver failed to be courteous, swap and hit a parked trailer by the road side on top speed.

 Instantly, six people out of the sixteen passengers inside the bus died on the spot without any remedy. The rest were severally injured and taken to University Teaching Hospital [UCH] in Ibadan for treatments. The mother of Yetunde was one of the victims that died in the unfortunate mishap.

The untimely dead of the woman was a terrible loss that created a great vacuum in the community and the trade associations where Yetunde’s mother was an active frontline member and activist.

It was pathetic and painful! The families and relatives of Yetunde were in deep sorrow and mourning for their departed soul during the Christmas and New Year! They consoled themselves for the demised relative and accepted their Cross in good fate as a Christian.

As life would have it, Yetunde became an orphan like Esther in the Holy Bible. Yetunde expressed the grief of her parent’s death but never again sensed any sad days ahead.

She was without father or mother! However, she was not deserted nor lack maternal care in life.

Honestly, children who are deprived of love and parental care grow up to become maladjusted adults in the society. Yetunde was taken over by her mother’s immediate junior sister as the guardian.

 An Ibadan based bulk food vendor at Bodija Market. The woman arose and took the responsibility of Yetunde’s schooling and welfare painstakingly until she got married. The Good Samaritan woman was absolutely inspiring and worthy of appreciation and reward. Only a few could be that nice in our society these days.

The guiltless girl Yetunde enjoyed nicely well a good parenting from her mother‘s junior sister who trained her from infantry.  And interestingly, a popular adage says:

‘’Before a parent could proudly say that this is my child, such must have been seriously and dedicatedly taken good care off’’

Nothing can stop the lion from roaming the forest at anytime. Yetunde was able to continue her existence journey of destiny pleasantly.

Really, it may take a longer time, the stammered will pronounce ‘’father!’’ 

No matter the delay, sun will rise at the break of the day. Nobody can change the destiny; they can only hold the hands of clock.

Meanwhile, the families of her late father were scrupulously supportive as well. The godly Yetunde was never forsaken or abandoned. She equally enjoyed some foundling from time to time.

They planned and prayed that she should survive and enjoy a live of good and perfect health, progress and prosperity!

As a promising child, Yetunde kept flashing back at the final word told by her mother before she died:

‘’Chastity does not belong to the past. It saves you a lot of trouble; preserves your beautiful destiny and stands you out from the crowd. You are better off not engaging in pre-marital and extra-marital sex. Stay chaste!’’

The Beautiful Yetunde was morally sound and well religious and fully dedicated as a promising citizen. She does her duties and conducts with integrity and every honesty. She was neat, acute and moderate to taste as a teenager by any world standard. Nothing of shame or blemish was on her body. She was a perfect rare statue without any parody!

On weekends or during the holidays while in the secondary school at Abadina, Ul area before she was left for the university. Yetunde usually assist her aunty at Bodija Market to manage the trade and business outfit. She did very well.

 Each time she was at the market, sales usually sour beyond normal; customers would kept coming to the shop in batches until the close of day. She had the magic ward that cracks the money code!

The junior sister of Yetunde’s mother, Mama Femi-Tola noticed the rare business influence and aroma with Yetunde. But she could not pin-point how come such an unusual experience?

The traits of entrepreneur and business magnitude began to grow in her until she graduated from the university. She was agile and very versatile, an all-rounder young lady of substance!

The innocent Yetunde’s love for education and business as a girl kept growing and waxing stronger day by day. In fact, the amicable life story of how Aliko Dangote started business with a raw cash of #500000  assistance from his uncle Dantata in Kano to trade with and from that He later became the richest Billionaire in Africa got her fired, inspired and highly motivated.

She looked forward to the day in the nearest future that own name too would be written with gold inside the big hall of fame and great achievers. ‘’ If others can be so lucky; definitely could also ‘’- Yetunde says boldly beating her chest in confirmation with assurance.

The beautiful and highly promising girl was naturally endow with spiritual gifts and a ticket for favour in several ways among the people within the community right from her birth into this terrible world of sin and sinners.

She was well attractive to both the male and female like magnet. The young and old, the peer boys and girls within the society who used to rally round her. Yetunde was a source of inspiration to all and sundry who gained a lot of things from a stocks of blessing morally, spiritually and otherwise.

The girl was whole and completely made by God as a special gift to the people of her time. What a right role model for her generation.

Luckily, Yetunde was used to the life and style of urban city when she got to Ibadan from Ikole-Ekiti. In life, every disappointment could later become a blessing in disguise. That’s the more reason why one needs to live every positively. There may be goodness of purpose in every experience of life that crosses your way.

‘’Tough Times never Last, but Tough People Do!’’

If not for the loss of Yetunde’s mother, it’s most likely that the glory attached with the destiny of the pretty girl would have stayed behind permanently at her fathers’ home town in Ikole-Ekiti rotten and hidden unnoticed without experiencing the taste of urban life pleasures!

But, as her destiny would attract good things, she moved down to Ibadan city to be living happily with Mama Femi-Tola. A guardian who was deep with passion for Yetunde with sincerity of mind and the fear of God which is regarded as the beginning of wisdom.

While in Ibadan, Yetunde was refined very well and got the right exposures. She used to stroll round the campus of The Premier University of Ibadan and its environs. The university community life greatly influenced her educational studies. She cherished and appreciate well the educated ones and dreamt of becoming like them one day in the nearest future.

And as a girl from Ekiti State, a place regarded as: The Fountain of Knowledge in the country where in every family; at least a university graduate emerges without stress.

Hence, Yetunde went from being a local girl from the village into the status of an elite. She buckled up, faced her studies squarely through rigorous book readings and burning the candles at night.

 Her efforts yield good results. She passed her School Certificate exams in flying colours. Yetunde cleared all the nine subjects she sat for in WAEC with Distinction!

Thereafter, she managed to secured admission into higher institution at first attempt without wasting any extra time behind. The perilous challenges of time could not hold her back from the desired success as a promising daughter.

Despite being a pretty orphan girl, she never disappointed her guardians and sponsors. Also, she failed to be distracted by the wordily, unprofitable activities around in the urban settlements.

With or without parents, a child of destiny born into this world would still fulfilled her mission in life.

Really, some are born great, some have greatness bestow on them while the majority fought tooth and nail to become a success in life. ‘’The stubborn pig will reach Ijebu town for slaughter, only the disturbing noise would be so great!’’ says a common Yoruba adage.

No matter how rough the road of success may appear to be, making it to the end is the best testimony and report to make.

Equally, the spirit of her late mother was following her in existence.

Along the line, Yetunde got admission into one of the famous universities in Kwara state. An awesome way to kick-start and create the blue-print for the life journey of meaningful progress in the society as daughter of destiny from Ekiti.

 She was very brilliant and highly determined to have headway educationally with the guarantee of super-successful and victorious life as a woman.

Early enough, Yetunde as a diligent girl puts her very best into what she does and pays rapt attention to details to achieve desired perfection.

She aimed and aspires to earn first-class degree at the end of her studies. Therefore, she faced her studies squarely as a well behaved single in the society; highly equipped with culture and native wisdom. She endured the hardship of virtue!

Despite her background, you would rarely find Yetunde with a frown or experiencing a bad day; the likelihood of such occurrences was extremely low. Instead, she always carried a gentle smile and excluded happiness and joy.

Emphatically, the secret behind this constant joy was the influence of God’s Word in Yetunde’s heart and expressed through his words; it shaped and directed her life each blessed day. She was independent of her circumstances as an orphan.

The godly Yetunde always admonish people around to be cheerful and exuberant with joy and praise to God, knowing better that it takes a joyful and happy person to make others joyful and happy. Since laughter is an expression of joy. Praising God;-being jubilant and enthusiastic with praise are good tonic for good living.

The beautiful and lovely young girl Yetunde used to spend the holidays with her mother’s sister in Ibadan and the family of her late father at Ikole-Ekiti interchangeably.

She usually enjoyed her stay as a favoured girl all the time. She was a highly cherished girl both at home or in the school. People usually show her deeper-love and affections anywhere she finds herself in the public!

Lady Yetunde was a friendly person and always smiles at everyone and say hello anyway. She was cultured and courteous. Equally, she was well and properly weaned in the depth of royalty and the cryptic language of the Yoruba culture.

Chapter 3.

The Evils That Men Do

Yetunde loves listening to various programs on radio and on the internet. She learns a lot from such acts right from the time she was at the secondary school.

Radio stations are established to inform, educate and entertain the masses in various ways.

‘’ If I have the mean in the nearness further, I hope to have a radio station of my own where meaningful programs shall be broadcast to enlighten the society on some issues’’

-The pretty maiden girl confessed openly to one of her classmates after evaluating one of the presented radio programs together one day. Yetunde nursed the ambition of owning a private radio station possibly at Ikole-Ekiti in the nearest future.

 As a result, she became an ardent fan to various radio stations and presenters. She often phone-in and make comments to some of the radio stations during live broadcast when allowed.

The rate at which FM Radio stations are springing up was getting alarming. This was made possible simply because obtaining the license or approval to operate have been made open to the public unlike in the pass that owning a radio station was the sole responsibility of the government.

Yetunde during the Easter Break was at home with the family of her Mother’s junior sister at Agbowo. It was evening time. There was darkness everywhere because the electricity power supply at the area had faulty. Only few houses were spared. The hassles of the epileptic power supply from NEPA was getting more annoying. To the extent that a lot of houses are now installing solar as a better alternative.

The house where Yetunde lives was with exemption anyway, the residence enjoyed light as much as possible. The house was blessed with a giant generator like the type that big factories used for production and a special solar that powered all the building inside the estate. When you have your accommodation with the rich man, you will not suffer, instead you will be highly privileged to enjoy some amenities on the platter of gold.

Other houses may be having problem of getting light at night, the house where Yetunde stays was totally exempted. Therefore, they have escaped the hassles from NEPA! An organization that people gave a different name to due to their poor performance in supplying electricity as expected. They refer to them as Never Expect Power Always instead of National Electric Power Authority!

Meanwhile, Yetunde stood at the frontage of their apartment to relax herself. She had just finished cooking the evening meal for the family. Others were inside the sitting room feeding and dinning. She decided to eat her food later.

While relaxing, she suddenly remember it was Tuesday, the popular radio program she loved most was about time. She rushed in to pick her Mp radio set and quickly turn-in to the FM Station for the broadcast.

The program have just started. It is known as ‘’Confession Time for Lovers ‘’ – a popular radio program that was the delight of both the young and the old. Couple too usually stickled to the radio at that period in the evening for almost three hours.

Nearly everyone at that time loved the highly educative, informative and entertaining program. It was the peoples program from the people’s radio station. The presented and producer of ‘’Confession Time’’ was super and highly gifted! The radio station too was the most listened to local radio stations according to recent research findings.

The episode for the day was about the bitter experience of a lady who got herself caught in the net of two wicked men in the campus hostel. The segment was tagged: ‘’The Evil That Men Did On Sunday ‘’ as announced by the radio presenter…Happy listening….!It Confession Time Again…!

Yetunde got glued to her radio set with keen interest in the revelation that was about to be revealed until it lasted.

So the pathetic story began…

‘’ Here is my confession: ‘’ They Raped Me On A Sunday Morning ‘’….

‘’ In fact I could not remember closing my eyes for a deep or sound sleep throughout the night of the incident. Even, for days if not weeks, I found it extremely difficult to sleep. I suffered a lot alone in silence. I was greatly troubled until I made up my mind to voice out if there could be a help for me. My world was almost destroyed in the dark of life, I needed a rescue fast.

Was just picturing the scene again and again, with tears rolling down my cheeks? By what they did to me unexpectedly, they murdered my sleep for life. Sleep eluded me like the proverbial Okro soup. I continued to turn and toss on one side iron bed to blacken out the picture of the terrible scene as experienced by me on that black Sunday. But no way, I could not just delete the ugly scene from my memory. I was simply restless and useless to myself.

As if that was not enough, my agony was further compounded when I thought of how slandered-bodied my joy was. How I wished it was a dream or fable, therefore I waited endlessly up till now for someone to come in, wake me up and inform me it was a mere dream and not real. But such a timely messenger refused to surface. What a great pity. I found myself in the pit of life without a pity or sympathy! What a heavy burden like a cross that the incident made me to carry or bear!

By now, I wished or even though the world should come to an end or fall on me to cover my shame. But alas, wishes are not horses, so the beggars failed to rise. I felt like an outcast in my confusion. They have ruined me completely. I almost cried my heart out. I was soaked with tears. From where do I start again?

I went on the memory lane and traced my predicament back to the genesis. No smoke without fire! I mean the beginning of the catastrophe that brought an indelible mark into my life. Every life have a story. This is my story, this is my life.

It all started when with an admission offered to a higher institution to read Geography and Environmental Management. My joy knew no bound when I got the long awaited admission letter and was offered admission to read the very course I applied for at the university.

In no small time, I started in earnest, preparing for school. My lovely and beloved parents on their part did not have any headache in providing all my needs in essence. They proofed their worth and I was glad to have them as parents. They were more than ready to meet all the demands of my timely admission. They did not let me down for a moment. I prayed to God spared their lives to eat the fruits of the labour. May their investments on my education not become futile?

Being in my late teens and from a Christian background family, my mother nights giving me heart to heart lectures on sex education and Christian compartments. Also the negative effects of untimely pregnancy of abortion.

Far from it, not as if I was a wayward child, but my sweet mother believed a stitch in time saves nine. Prevention is far better than care. Don’t mind or blame her at all, as the first born of my beloved parents and automatically the first ever to go to the higher institution, the anxiety was so great for my parents and my very self too.

In fact, my junior ones could not wait for the resumption day when they will escort me to school in my father’s Peugeot 505 Executive saloon car.

No joy is too little to hide. No cover cloth is large enough to cover it as well. I went about telling friends and my colleagues around who thought were not as lucky as I was, about my admission and obviously, they really envied me.

As I went about on my visitation rampage, I was equally busy noting the count-down to the memorable date.

I had earlier gotten a private accommodation in the school environment as my school authority failed to have the provisions for accommodation for the new students on campus.

My good parents instead took time to secure for me a decent apartment not far from the campus; but my blurt father refused to make payments for the rent as demanded until the caretaker assured him of an adequate and reliable security. A CTV camera was also installed within the premises of the mini-hostel.

Luckily, some female staylites also stayed in the premises with me. They place was lively and accommodating. It was like a home away from home for me.

The well-furnished hostel was privately owned by a wealthy billionaire who was a notable politician and former Senator. There were two other storey buildings within the estate accommodating both female and male students of the university like me.

The other staylites living in the mini hostel were not all around as the school just resumed for the new session for them and the lectures have not started in earnest.

For them, the real lecture did not normally start until two weeks after the officially announced date of resumption. Also, it takes some period allowed foe the registration and orientation for the new students by the university authority.

But for me; a fresher, the anxiety was there, and even if someone should inform me to join the game of Africanized resumption dates, I would decline outright as I was very eager to be in school at that period.

Therefore, with the delayed resumption and my own eagerness to be in school, I was left alone in the female hostel at that period crushing it all alone. However, the few ladies that had arrived like me were usually available in the day time and went out by night to sleep with their bosom friends in other hostels around or outside the campus.

The female hostel was a 3-storey building and in the whole of the female hostel, we were about three that were sleeping there at the time. I was the only one available in my floor [2^nd floor] and the rest other ladies in the 1^st floor. The ground floor was completely empty as at that time. I had already spent a week in the hostel trying to adjust myself and adapt to the new life in a new environment as required.

Unknowingly, the devil struck unexpectedly! Life without an adequate guide is a miserable life. The attack done to female members in our society is on the increase and should be curb fast.

Yes, it was on a Sunday morning, exactly 7a.m when I was planning how I will go to church to serve my creator. Am not used to staying behind on Sundays without attending the service. Sunday is a day to be remember to service God and have some rest.  A good worshiper would always reflect what the Holy Bible says concerning Sunday: ‘’ Remember the Sabbath day to keep it Holy!’’

No one is wiser to have the understanding of a bad day ahead of time. If a driver knew the day of accident, he will definitely not ply the road on that day.

Likewise, I never had the premonition for what happened on that fateful Sunday really. In own case, I was just planning to get out of bed to prepare for the Sunday Service at one of the branches of our church in town not far from the campus. I equally planned to have some discussions with the Pastor-in-Charge on how a unit of the branch can be planted on the university campus.

Surprisingly, I heard a gentle knock on my door. Quiet unusual. I wondered who it was, so in the early morning. I stood up without wasting time and opened the metal door and there facing me were two heavily built men.

As culture demands, I greeted them and they equally responded well like gentlemen. I never suspected anything bad from them. They asked for a lady by name Bola Owoade. Being a new person in the hostel, I directed them to the other ladies at the first floor.

But about five minutes later, they came back knocking on my door and when I opened the door gently, they asked for a ball-point biro and a sheet of paper to drop a note for the said Sade whom they claimed lived on the second floor with me but in one room.

As I turned round to grant their tricky request and before I knew it, they had followed me inside the room and pounced on me like a mad and hungry lion on its prey.

Without wasting time, they quickly went for my night gown and tore it pushed me to the bed forcefully. There on the single size bed, the two men incapacitated me and raped me in turn to their satisfaction. What a hell on earth?

They even went away with two pairs of my shoes and some of my expensive garments. Though I shouted for help, no one came to my rescue until the deal lasted. It was terrible. So I could be all that lonely.

Can you imagine, the caretaker that was assumed by my parents to be a guide or protector was nowhere to be located or found.

However, a lady later came and helped me to a private hospital nearby where I was given a first-class treatment. My wounds were stitched and a D&C was performed on me so as to prevent an unwanted pregnancy from the rape experience by the strangers.

For days, I was not able to eat and each time I managed to eat a little, I vomited. The hell have let loose on me. They have finished my life!

The caretaker later came and settle the hospital bill. He persuaded me not to go home and tell my parents. Instead, I should keep it within myself like a sealed secret forever! Indeed, I do not have the boldness or the courage too to go home and inform my parents, what will be the way out for me….?

The lady concluded her ‘’ Open Confession’’ on radio that day. And when listeners were implored to phone-in and advised.

‘’No…! No..! No..! ‘’ Yetunde shouted in empathy. ‘’Justice must be done! It is unfair’’

She clamour for action and support for the lady.

Unfortunately, all attempts to get across on phone proofed abortive because there were lot of reactions from the audience on that day unlike before.

Chapter 4.

 The Love Seal

Meanwhile, there was a fresh young man known as Segun, the bonfire son of the landlord where Yetunde and others lived at Agbowo area not far from the Premier University of Ibadan.

The young lad was made in the image and likeness of his Ibadan billionaire father- One of the Sons of the Soil!

Segun was tanned and handsome to taste with wavy, raven hair. His eyes are like live doves beside the water brooks, deep and quiet. The impression of a meticulously well-fed breed from a glowing family reflected on the body structure. His checks are like sweaty scented beds of spices. Segun’s mouth is sweet, loveable in every way. He behaved at times as The King of Boys in Agbowo area. He was also the Youth Leader for the reigning political party in town.

Really, every genuine man with good sense of appreciation and authentic value would recognise the excellence and elegance of Yetunde’s being and body build-up. She was a rare fine-looking girl to behold and appreciate at any time of the day. She was lovely young lady who was extremely personable and intelligent.

 The ray of her beauty kept shinning and inviting like the morning star! She was a Paragon of Beauty in dark complexion! An African pride to cherish and appreciate! In beauty, Yetunde is second to none!

The young boy Segun was promising lad of the former Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He was a prominent man in the society. He was a rich politician of note from Ibadan, the largest city in West Africa.

Segun was keenly interested in pretty Yetunde, an angel in human skin. He admires her too much and desperately ready to offer anything in exchange. He adores and showed love to her through many contacts that failed outright.

Segun methodically had surveillance of Yetunde. He thought Yetunde would be so cheap girl to lured and captured like a piece of cake, literally. But unfortunately, Yetunde proved otherwise which gave Segun a tough time and bitter experience in the process.

Though Segun was not too bad looking but naturally, Yetunde’s heart was not just disposed to him. The handsome Segun was being truthful as regards wanting to have Yetunde as a date.

In the grip of a youthful crush, Yetunde was the right person for him as dreamt. The strong desire in Segun to have Yetunde as lover began from the day they met at the gate entrance when he went out to a restaurant on a very cold harmattan morning. He noticed a lady of unusual beauty with deep humility.

Segun still in the bloom of youth could not believe what he saw when they gazed each other. It was like everything in the world stood still as her alluring look was breath-taking. He had a crush for her.

He took Yetunde for an angel in human skin when she splashed him with sparking smiles that sent Segun to the world of hallucination just like a movie about Nick Canon.

Yetunde, the beautiful daughter from Ekiti town was appalling to him. Segun saw in her all the perfect traits of a potential marriage mate which are good-looking, friendly, popular, funny, spiritually minded, trustworthy, morally upright and goal-oriented.

He desperately desired in his mind to hook Yetunde as a lifelong mate in holy wedlock.  On seeing her; Segun voiced out to himself: ‘’ This is the right person for me!’’ 

 On that daytime, he had the strong intuition that they both have combined missions to fulfil in the journey of life and destiny. Segun have met someone who will bring out the best in him and for whom he will do the same in return.

The young and dynamic Segun walked unto her and started wooing her. But Yetunde responded with a bump off! She went her way facing the other side. She ignored the broad daylight toasting of the love seeker.

 The lad of Ibadan guru politician said to her, ‘’Oh my God, you’re so beautiful’’

And she replied by saying: ‘’Thank you!’’

Yetunde smiled quietly with a sense of accomplishment, but nodded her head in disapproval to the love-rapport advancement of Segun. Quickly, she increased her walk-speed rate from the spot. Yetunde’s sharp reaction and body language was informing Segun: ‘’No Vacancy for Now!’’ 

It stirs and poured cold water to the mind of Segun, the lover Playboy.

Ever since that very day, thoughts of Yetunde; the cutest girl in the neighbourhood that fits for a lifelong helpmate kept lingering in his mind daily to the extent that he cannot think of anybody else except her. Nothing interests him any longer. In fact, nothing seems to matter to him again. He was desperate in need of the Ekiti girl.

However, it is usually a painful experience for a man to have love and affection for someone who never thought of you or look at your direction for a second. He who wears a shoe knows where it pinches!

If there was anything in the universe cherished most by Segun at that moment. It is Yetunde and Yetunde’s zealous love alone. He was trying to woo her with so many things that never worked. It was unplayable, serious and terrible experience! What will be the likely way out?

Regardless how intense the challenges or pressures became, the advances were aborted outright. Yetunde absolutely refused to give Segun the chance of love relationship as demanded. She remained steadfast and unshakable. Her eyes were blindly closed against Segun’s direction with deaf ear to all the whisperings!

 The perception was that, Yetunde felt was not yet period for love making affairs and all those stuffs. Also, she considered it to be odd for her to get engaged with a man that lived in the same house where her relative was living for a long time as tenant.

That is to say, Yetunde was trying to be extra careful of men who are found of cheating ladies. She detests the way some of her friends at the campus have been wounded emotionally by their dates.

‘’ I don’t want to join the association of wounded hearts’’-confessed Yetunde in one of her conversations.

Caution is required for the monkey trying to climb a rotten tree!

Yetunde refused bluntly all the demands and love advances of Segun. She avoids him thereafter. Wanting to remain a sane in the midst of the maddening crowd required a serious determination on her part.

Until that crucial time, the pretty Yetunde have never been committed to any guy but Segun remained adamant for her love and acceptance as the boyfriend.

Despite, the young Segun was resolutely undaunted. He loved sweet Yetunde so much and frantically wanted to have her by all mean possible. It was like a Love Seal to be hatched. You can’t resist him from having her love for Yetunde to be stamped, approved and sealed by destiny. However, he was highly trouble in all appearance henceforth.

 Throughout that period, the popular love song waxed by King Sunny Ade:

‘’ I’m searching for my Love…Am looking for My Beauty!...Oh Yes, Mama...She is Far Away!’’

- was the most common song that Segun sang about tirelessly. He almost got mad and absent minded because of Yetunde.

With the heart of stone, Segun conceptualized how to trap the lady. Getting flustered was not his style. It is his nature to triumph. He was bent at having his way into the hearts of Yetunde at all cost. He was desperately ready to exchange that mission with whatever it entails or required without looking back.

 The desire for the pretty girl was the sole trouble in the life of Segun at that moment in time. It was like: the dilemma of father Mukailu of the Catholic Church in those days.

 As Segun thought of what to do that would endear her to him; then an idea struck his mind.

Surprisingly, the cute Yetunde came home for the holidays as usual after the second semester break at the University.

At mid-night, her handset phone rang. It was the adamant lover boy Segun again lamenting and explaining bitterly how he murdered sleep because of his affections and deeper uncompromised love for Yetunde.

 At the climax of the conversation, he confessed his readiness to commit suicide that night if Yetunde should refused to accept his love desire for her as girlfriend. What an amazing statement!

‘’Abba! Don’t do that…Are you that so serious and desperate about me?’’

 Yetunde answered during the phone conversation; she gave it a second thought and implored Segun to hold on till the daybreak for ratification. She consented to meet him for one on one deliberation thereafter:

‘’Never mind, when is dawn we shall discussed better…Dear!’’ Yetunde assured Segun who endured it.

Really, the nice-looking Yetunde was vivacious and blessed with tempting curves and uncommon good looks. Like a perfectly finished product, that everyone loves to pick in the midst of scrambles. All men would desire to gaze her beauty like The Queen Vashti of the Holy Bible.

Undoubtedly, beautiful Yetunde was superbly created among the ladies living in Ibadan at that time! No one could deny her to be the most beautiful girl around!

Men and boys of substance usually gave her a second look whenever she was passing by along the streets of Agbowo. They wanted to confirm if she was a human being or a spirit-being.

Chapter 5.

 The Red Boat of Love

Finally, on the following day, Yetunde was invited by the son of ace-politician as a special guest to his father’s luxurious apartment named: The Land of Desire. There was a separate self-contained room for Segun within the duplex.

The building design was one of the best ever in the entire community. The finishing and facilities available were lavishly installed everywhere possible.  The parents have abundant blessings. They were superbly rich. The fabulous wealth of the family reflected in the residential mansion.

On that day, both Segun and Yetunde had ample chance to parley and engaged in lengthy discussions. The parents have left for business. The room for proper heart-to-heart deliberations was freely created and nothing to hide or shy about. The pleasant day was a good opportunity for him to start something with Yetunde.

Frankly speaking, fragrant Segun was anxious and highly excited to get hooked with an angel in human skin who could be given or tagged as: the Paragon of Beauty among the blacks.

And surely enough! Aside her impeccable beauty, one other feature that sent the heart painting was her well-carved hips. No normal man would get the eyes off, most especially when she swung them.

Segun had heavy feelings for pretty Yetunde that he could not wait any longer. He became so uneasy. He felt overwhelmed and puzzled. His heart skipped whenever he saw Yetunde or heard her sonorous voice.

He was happy that God answered his prayers.  Equally, Segun was glad to have the desire of his mind fulfilled at last. Getting hooked to Yetunde appeared to be a divine arrangement that was difficult to understand ordinarily.

Quickly and gracefully, He welcomes his love with a promise of good times together. His energetic movements were highly lighted by the sparkle of immense diamonds in his rings and tie tack.

 On that beautiful day, Yetunde was full of smiles as usual. Her eyes were full of God’s Light as she searches for acceptance. She was destined for greatness!

Segun confessed this to Yetunde:

‘’There is something strange about you that I am yet to find answers to. I have met countless ladies in my romantic expedition, but I have never met one that touched my heart the way you did’’

Firstly, Yetunde felt he was weirdo because no one talks like that in the past to her.

However, the young lad needed wisdom to handle the task before him. He reminded himself what he read about wisdom:

‘’Right from old, wisdom is better than darkness. To be rich is far better than poverty. The wise man sees, while the fool is blind’’

Paradoxically, Yetunde was a green horn in relationship matters. Segun was gentle as dove but clever as a serpent; full of guile and highly evasive.

The game started meticulously in harness. On that notable day, the adorable Yetunde in craziest and sexiest fashion wore a tight fitting t-shirt and shorts which exaggerated her busts and the rumps that allured Segun so much. She was utterly outrageous! Her beauty was not hidden at all, but well pronounced.

In life, no one under the close watch of traitor is ever difficult to trap. The heart–throb Segun was ardent and very delighted to see a hatched plan unfolding like a video show.

As a boy hungry for love making most especially in search of a ripped apple, lot of thoughts went across the mind of Segun inside the apartment with his prey Yetunde.  For the girl to have voluntarily came for a visit made the task half solved.

Before yam could be eaten as pounded-yam; it was pounded well inside mortal with heavy pestle several times.

Likewise, to be in relationship with surf like Yetunde, a lot of virtues must be well displayed.

Segun was not sort of anything needed to make the best of the game at stake. Everything went smooth in his favour as ordained by destiny like The Gigolo Story.  He did all a youngster could do to convinced Yetunde of being the right choice that perfectly matches the life journey of romantic relationship.

The sweet Yetunde had a heart of gold. From her closed assessment, Segun could be a nice life partner and a man of her dreams as well.  After a vigorous and very lengthy exchange of syrupy expressions, Yetunde scudded to Segun’s request of love partnership. The deal was sealed and settled eventually! The winning goal was scored!

The beautiful bride-to-be bowed for her man in fresh love affairs. They happily embraced each other affectionately. Segun was very pleased that his persistent effort in winning the heart of Yetunde was not futile but worked out positively well.

 His breadth was greatly relieved! That was how the young son of Ibadan Billionaire won the love of an angel; the paragon of Beauty! His joy knew no bounds as the affection for each other waxed stronger by the day. Segun was able to reveal the secret treasures of his tender heart to the grooming lady that evening.

In other not to follow the path of folly, the god-hearted daughter who trusted the creator to a greater extend with a bit of the gospel of Jesus Christ ensured that both of them prayed for God’s guide and support in the new relationship launched.

They both agreed to visit the pastor of the church where Yetunde was attending the following Sunday for prayers and additional spiritual rites that can make their marital life journey smooth and hitch free.

The glamour Yetunde was lavishly entertained by the offspring of billionaire politician as an august visitor of note. She took home several parting gifts and take-away was well packaged for the lady of class with choice. She was buttered!

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

 Nothing is too big to share with one’s love under the sun. A miser can never sustain rubies in life.

When the fire of love is hot, nothing will be too hard to consume outright!

All to prove the seriousness of her new life partner called Segun, a brand new lover boy and helpmate without any rival. In fact, Yetunde was about to taste the goodies of a super wealthy family ever! They both were about inaugurating a great journey of love and relationship.

A man that is so cruel to women will not be able to live with one

History was retold with stories and expression by the two partners to confirm the sealed of love and sincerity involved between them as from that moment.

However, when the Monkey sights a banana, hell will lose eventually. Definitely, the Dog that pay visit to the house of Tiger will have a cogent report to make at the end of the event. Nothing goes for anything in this world again.

Those in politics usually say that their involvement is not for God- sake; but because of what they will eat and gain.  In fact, only God will judge the man trying to divide meat for others inside the mouth with teeth! God remains the best judge.

The road was cleared for Segun that day. There was no hindrance or disturbance. Like a child playing with a child, Segun was able to taste Yetunde on that very day after the merry making.

Yetunde was a fresh flower but was deflowered by Segun. That was how the pretty beauty lost her virgin unplanned. It was painful but she endured it.

On that memorable day, Yetunde implored her boyfriend to seal her love in his heart forever. And before they departed, Yetunde lovely told Segun:

‘’My Dear, Seal me in your heart with permanent betrothal, for love is strong as death and jealousy is as cruel as shoed. If flashes fire, they very flame of Jehovah. Many waters cannot quench the flame of love; neither can the floods drown it. If a man tired to buy it with everything he owned; he couldn’t do it!’’

As a result, Yetunde vowed that only the man she will marry would taste her sweet honey in life. That was the beginning and climax of the visitation that almost turned to be a ticket for regrets.

Segun appreciated his brand new love with these confessed words:

‘’ There are many fine women in the world, but you are the best of them all’’

‘’You have ravished my heart…I am overcome by a glance of your eyes’’

In further response, the heart-awakened Segun, on good notes consented and promised to comply faithfully without any compromise.

Before the departure, in great excitement and joy he made a rash vow for Yetunde. He even read this short poem to her new love:

DEAREST GIRL

Hide your bright eyes

From bitter cries

Wooing you so sly

As bait of lie

To plunge and drown,

that sweet fee l down.

Close your ear gate

To that mourn state

Wearing words sweet

Of sensuous heat

To savour that feel

‘burning’ to kill.

Guard hard your heart

Against fires that start

So fondest melt

Of pleasure spelt

As deep regret

For being so wet.

Your womanhood,

A pride so good,

Just for that one;

Not anyone;

Keep it dear girl,

Protect it well.

In spreading the thrill of love with Yetunde; The lovely Song ‘’ Forever Sweet’’ tone by Dotti the deity was downloaded on her phone as Hello tune. It was the most wonderful day ever.

 Segun succeeded and won the real heart of Yetunde at last. He was extremely happy.

‘’Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get! ‘’

Thereafter, the heat of their love started burning hot and hot fantastically every day! The devoted love affairs and affections between Segun and Yetunde started on nice notes; and unique in every dimension! It was full of goodies.

The ride of joint lovers in the boat of love started smoothly without any restriction or hassles with the strong assured hope that things favourably expected shall come to pass by the grace of God.

The Red Love Boat Ride With illusion

Both Yetunde and lover boy Segun decided to select the attractive Red Boat for a ride at Bar-beach during one of the Easter pinkies outing.

The choice of colour red was influenced by the Verne-tine experience and the Christmas seasons as a symbol of the Soul Mates love between the two of them without considering the psychology of colour and its implications. Red may not be the best colour for a lasting relationship.

But meanwhile, the burning force between the two courtesans was hot and on red fire with all indications of cordial warmness. With the red signals, there may be an unexpected dangers ahead which nobody can detect very early.

Indeed, the intensity of too much of red colour may trouble the eyes and the peace of mind as a result of the dazzling effects. Red of any kind or shade reminds a symbol of dangers ahead. It has the aroma of troubles, unrest, caution or bloodshed.

The choice of ridding on the high sea with the boat in Red, instead of pinking the one in blue or royal colour became a question that only the future will explain better.

However, as the ride commences, it a better advice for the intended couples to be find better a location to have their seat. And not at the edge of the speedy red-boat. Prevention is far better than cure!

The sitting of soul-mates at the edge may be attractive and tempting; because of easy viewing of the ocean. But for the unlikely chance of fallibility, a distance from peril should be considered earlier.

Therefore, the masquerade must be very careful of his attempt to cross the six-lane Express Road during the peak hour when the body temperature is hot already.

To be candid, if not divinely gifted to discerned, nobody can envisage correctly the final outcome of any love relationship at the on-set!

The Love Seal of Segun and Yetunde remained a repertoire. When a bond is stamped, approved and sealed. No one expects a reverse from any quarters again. What God has joint together lawfully, no man should put asunder. But, life is without a single face but different faces and phrases.

Anything could be or happen anytime. Both the planned and unplanned. The expected and the unexpected. The prayed and desired for; and the un-prayed for. The pleasant experience and the unpleasant.

Yes, those are what made people to refer and tagged the odds experiences of life to be: ‘’The Life For You!’’

Can you imagine it, when you have it good and everything is pleasantly OK, they will just say: ’’ Life is good for you!’’

But when the know-how becomes another thing entirely. When sorrow, sadness, pains, and disappointments sets in. Then, people will console you by saying this statement again: ’’ Life is only showing you its real colour…Just bear it for a while ‘’

Really, life have a colour with different shades and intensity.

Every happenings on earth is an experience to have, learn and profit from as much as possible. And until a tragedy strikes, nobody could be able to weigh the painful and sorrowful cry of an old man in the chambers.

It is only by therapeutic can chronic diseases could be well treated. Like the public dog who is never ashamed of meeting its mates by the road size during the day.

What a great anecdote! Without any overstatement, Segun’s love for Yetunde could not be frozen easily by any deep freezer or Cold-Room for now. The dynamism of the love seal is too strong to be damaged or broken. No water would be enough to flush it away like flood.

 If music is the food of love, Segun was ready to over feed Yetunde along as it lasted. The taste of sweet Yetunde by Segun was wonderfully unique and romantic.

Thereafter, Yetunde had a severe abdomen pain due to the sexual intercourse she never experienced before.

In life, one of the things a woman cannot easily forget is the person that dis-flower her virginity; therefore, it will be difficult for Yetunde to forget forever in a moment what Segun did with her.

The performance made Segun to be the first man to visit her natural inner room after several years of closed entrance.

Definitely, it can’t be overturned! Segun was the happiest man on earth on that unforgettable day with Yetunde. He was filled with the movement of ‘’great love’’ found at inopportune moment.

And ever since the moment, thoughts of the lady perfectly occupied his mind on daily basis forever. The woman’s golden voice will never again echo in the dark as lovers cuddle up in the afterglow of passion.

Amazingly, it was a mission fulfilled and well accomplished. The two slated destiny helpers meet and got bonded at last. Who and what will be strong enough to separate them again? None was imagined! However, one may not know how a fight will end, but the spark of it will be boldly identified.

The new chapter in destiny was opened on fresh notes. Yetunde became well acquainted with Segun the young man of a popular politician based in the ancient city of Ibadan capital. Nobody suspected any foul play.

In one of the text messages sent to Yetunde by Segun reads:

‘’ Sweet is your love, my darling bride; the perfume of your love is more fragrant than all the richest spices. Your lips are made of honey and cream. The scent of your garments is like the scent of the mountains and cedar of Lebanon’’

Love is fragile; therefore, the two promising lovers must ensure the genuine stability without any heatstroke;

‘’A woman that got married to millionaire’s son would be well fortunate to share an inherited fortunes’’ says an adage.

Yes, we are all born, but our fingers are not equal.

Chapter 6.
The Soul-Mates in Love Seal

In life, everything big starts little. Small is beautiful. Think for just a moment. An Oak tree began as an acorn. A six foot man began as a small; small embryo in a mother’s womb.

 In life, we shall always learn lessons from others and equally be a lesson for others!

As the whirlwind romance started, the splendid heart spring love affairs between Segun and Yetunde was growing daily and waxing stronger and stronger every moment. The amorous relationship blossomed. They became good acquaintances; and as you know one thing led to the other.

‘’ Life is a prayer that Love alone can fulfil ’’

-Says Romain Gary.

Yetunde became the new favourite toy in town for Segun. The amazing love affairs between the two candidates of destiny were creatively rolling out excellent and fabulous experiences.

Segun got cosy with Yetunde.  It was seen happening in bits and pieces. They were genuinely in love. It reflected on their cordial relationship.

Thereafter, Segun felt the way he never felt before as she showered him with love beyond imagination. She became very secured and confident with him. They were bosom friends, helpmates and excellent lovers.

If the sun that is just rising is very hot on the skin, you could imagine the hell it would subject the earth to at noon!

To Segun, the marvellous and dearly Yetunde became his precious gems and a lovely dove for years. They were fond of Yetunde each other as a companion. The visible affection they have for each other waxed stronger and better by the day. Yetunde was nice, caring and above all lovely. The relationship blossomed and was full of surprises with fortified and unshakable genuine love.

Segun was very much impressed with Yetunde and did his best to make her happy and delighted.

In one of the New Year messages sent to appealing Yetunde by Segun reads:

‘’Thank you my Dearest for being part of my world throughout the years and we remained inspired to go further together in love and peace. We shall jointly carry the cross ahead!’’

The erotic expressions and Words of life from Segun from time to time do energised Yetunde and motivated her to do well at school. They were created for each other in the smooth journey of life and destiny. Wonderfully, Segun and Yetunde were fond of each other.

They always wanted to be sighting each other nearly every second.  When love is fresh and undiluted, it is usually in that dimension. Their meeting together was neither a mistake nor accident but the handwork of destiny as bedrock.  As fresh lovers in the making, they have undying adore for each other.

Beloved! Yetunde was a banquet of flowers in the garden of Engedi. A very beautiful girl with the eyes that is soft as dove. Like the rose of Sharon; the lily of valleys.

‘’ The old aged woman was also a pretty girl in those days’’ says a Yoruba adage.

Virtually, everyone has his or her own time. There is time for every matter on earth. As a vital reality, Yetunde’s time has come. No hesitation about that. Everything was changing for good. Life was getting better and worthwhile unplanned. Therefore, she should be allowed to taste the pleasures in full.

 Actually, Yetunde have filled her money and pleasure clouds, and soonest will empty themselves on her without any further delay. The beloved Segun too never stopped watering the clouds of Yetunde with raw cash and other goodies desired to make it thick like the spiritual water, and nothing can stop the downpour!

The Bible says: ‘’If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth…’’[ Ecclesiastes 11:3]

 In life, the faith not expressed won’t prevail.

Affirmed! Nothing stops the queen from parading the place! What an overwhelmingly deep-seated conviction?

She was unconquerable and victorious among the spinsters! To the charming Yetunde, there was no vacancy for those who are not ready for serious love patronage. She was completely free and excited about her new love.

The deeper love-affairs between Segun and Yetunde were unique and marvellous indeed! Hardly was there a day that they will not communicate or have a chart through the social media.

Undeniably, Segun was jealously guiding his pet angel. He adored her passionately with a loving heart and tender soul. It was too much to imagine or pacified!

Without any atom of doubt, Segun was love drunk for Yetunde with the white teeth like sheep’s wool newly shorn and washed; perfectly matched without one missing. Harmonized and blended with the supper hairdo, like a papyrus reed perfectly woven together.

The pointing breasts; like twin fawns of gazelle feeding among the lilies; what a lovely filly Yetunde’s lovely cheeks, stately neck upon long strings of jewels with a sharply piercing nose!

A rarest of beautiful women with tripping feet and waist like a heap of wheat set about with lilies.

Both Yetunde and Segun were like Romeo and Juliet. The bonding love was outlandish and rare. Segun tasted Yetunde twice before she left for her campus.

There was nothing to blame the lad for. He was inside the stream of love already. The boat of fondness was steadily floating without hassles.

 Yetunde became Segun’s darling, precious, glorious, dignified and heavenly celebrated!

Really, every good game can be replayed. In life, no man is ever tired of listening to an interesting music. A nice chorus do occupied the mouth of music lovers every moment.

 A good song is often repeated. A sweet orange can be eaten many times non -stop if available. In fact, a nice and delicious soup can never turn sour without reasons.

A vehicle’s slated destination should be reached unless there is an issue on the way. In fact, nothing stops the hen from reaching where her eggs are laid.

’’ The robust pig will get to Ijebu for slaughter, only the harrowing noise will be greater’’ says a Yoruba adage!

Chapter 7.

 A  Secret Taste of The Unripe

Due to the perfect cordial relationship between Yetunde and Segun, the young millionaire; it gave the pretty girl free and frequent access to Segun’s apartment without any hindrance or rescission from the parents. Yetunde was a welcome guest at the apartment any time any day.

Also, Yetunde was appealing and attractive with radiant of goodness. She has the charms of acceptance anywhere she found herself right from the demise of her mother.

Having pitched her tent with Segun, the parents never suspected any anything hidden between the two of them. They were both age mates and social.

The environment was a friendly one. Unlike other rich individuals in our society, the parents of Segun are highly accommodating and lovely in their relationship with folks. They are never money-drunk or hostile. They took life simple and easy-going.

Before the Rape!

Life is full of unexpected changes that are inevitable. As observed generally in the society, there has been common reports of rape cases that transferred by elderly men in the society with the mirrors and the under aged children. It is barbaric and should be discouraged by all means possible.

The act of lustful activities is turning the society into an era of the insane and the herald of unsound minds. Why is our world now putting on the garment of shame? A check has to be done faster than later.

Without voicing it out loudly, the billionaire Ibadan politician was for long been thirsty for fresh love affairs with a mature woman or cheap lady outside his matrimonial home. Segun’s mother, his legal wife could no longer satisfy his lust and libido like in those good old days of their wedding.

The search and search for a better substitute side-chicks for secret love affairs had developed already but awaiting execution until Yetunde was sighted within the radius. 

One day, it was about to rain heavily. Segun had left home with his aged-mother for an occasion. However, the father was alone inside the vast flat enjoying his life in grand style.

 At the palatial compound with luxury cars like the 7series BMW, Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Bugatti sports electric car, and other expensive facilities. They had some washed clothes outside spread at the open space to get dried by the sun before evening. To prevent the costly garments and fabrics from rain that threatens to fall because it was storming already.

The wealthy and highly comfortable man of substance with titles and honour as former Minister of Finance of the Federation beckon at pretty Yetunde to assist him collect the spread cloths outside on the rally.

The ebony black girl did as demanded from the elder statesman. The lure and lucre trapped her unknowingly.

 In life, only God can make one to escape the trap of enemy. You cannot be wiser than the traitor. It is terrible. There was a plot against Yetunde!

The nose is never sensitive enough to sense the tricks of a wicked person in the society. But there is God who is greater than all of us.

Our world is a pleasant place of amazing wonders and experiences. So many odd things are being committed under the sun most especially in our country with faceless characters.

How easy can the elephant escape the prepared pity covered with golden mat with a big stand on it to seat upon as the king to be?

The God fearing and well cultured Yetunde did as instructed as a girl with the hearts of flesh. When she courteously brought all the collected clothes inside the house as assigned; she met the elderly man eating roasted chicken with assorted wines and packed juices in his front like a bouquet.

He drank a good glass of wine along. The house of a politician is usually a merry making avenue all the time in our society.

The naive Yetunde was warmly received and appreciated by Segun’s father for the kind gesture. Though, he further implored her to join him in the dinning. But Yetunde out rightly rejected the free invitation to taste a super free buffet offered her by the billionaire.

’’Don’t worry Sir. I’m ok for now!’’ Big thanks, it’s a pleasure!

 Yetunde replied with a pent-up smile without blinking an eye. As highly trained and cultured girl from an excellent home.

Thereafter, the generous man gave Yetunde one of the so astronomically expensive alcohol bottled-juice as trick without rigours. Obviously, she did not understand the implication.

Ultimately, Yetunde was highly amazed at the dash, but never suspected any foul-play at all. She was beguiled by the politician.

Obviously, Yetunde left the house with a sense of gratitude. When Yetunde got to her room to have a short rest as it was about to rain. Before sleeping, she drank the tasty juice given her and effortlessly slept off almost immediately. The sleep was deep and sound.

Yes, if a stray lamb wanders from the flock and far away from the shepherd; it is vulnerable to attacks from mountain lions, wolves and coyotes. It can easily be hurt or killed.

After some few minutes, Segun’s father took undue advantage of the girl. He disguised and secretly traced the lady.

Nothing stops the lion from climbing the mountain of terror in search for horrors!

Nevertheless, the billionaire politician who failed to guard his affections went inside the unlocked room where the pretty Yetunde was sleeping.

 Rather unfortunately, he forcefully and unlawfully defiled her by eaten the Adams-apple of the innocent girl without permission.  What a questionable incipient step? Like Adam, the rich man eats the forbidden fruit.

No wine can be used for making pegs to hang up pots and pans again. All they are good for is fuel. And even so, they burnt poorly. So, they are useless both before and after being put in the fire.

 What havoc! Both the father and the son are about eaten inside the same pot of soup unknowingly. A Big Rot in the Pot! What a great blunder?

Like a dinner of thorns and thistles soup for blind lovers.

Could it be an error of omission?

Gosh! What a great havoc committed by Segun’s father: an elder states-man; the rape of innocent lady in broad day-light robbery!

The incarnate and the harmful lust of the flesh got the Ibadan based politician giant, drunk and drown without gauge. He began trekking on broken bottles with bare foot. The gushing of red blood thereafter will be thicker than water inevitably for the naughty old man. The act was intrinsically wrong and sorrowful.

Assuredly, it is a matter of time for the man carrying an umbrella to realise it is a heavy burden, when the rain stopped.

 No matter how it rained, heaven will seized from pouring water at a point. Nothing is made to last forever but for a moment. Every pleasure is for a while and not for life!

Only the honour of God alone can never stop or get dried! Therefore, those who are making it now should think twice and be aware of the fact that wealth does grow winds and fly away unnoticed.

So many things are happening these days in the society without any news coverage for the public announcement. Today, several streams have passed under the bridge disregarded. Life is like a season’s film; it is usually in series.

Anyway, when the conscience of a man gets polluted, no acts or behaviour would be seen as been silly or foolish again. Instead, gall will turned to salt for the mid-night dinner. Only the blind ghosts will be guest of honour in such a banquet.

How come the father and son to be dating the same innocent girl at the same time under the same roof?

Will it be smooth and hitch free at the end of the day?

How easy is for two big stubborn rams to drink water in the same pot at the same time?

As David Diop says,’’ spring will be reborn under our bright steps’’

A further investigation needs to take place to detect the final outcome of Segun’s father ordeal with Yetunde alone inside the inner room unnoticed by anybody. Will it be palatable?

Meanwhile, the grip of Segun’s father on Yetunde could be likening to a hungry cat that caught a small rat late at night. It was long he had a fresh taste of that kind of aromatic affairs when it was raining outside simultaneously. The fantasy was just beyond imagination or description.

The billionaire aged man lies on Yetunde enchanted by the fragrance of her perfumes with a sachet of myrrh lying between her lovely, pleasant unique breasts.

 All these added glamour to the taste so enjoyed! In the essence, the sweet-smelling aroma from her body took Segun’s father to the world of fantasy where he almost got lost in search of pleasures and vanities.

Until it lasted; the girl was dead sleep while the agile politician was gravely roaming the inner hole of Yetunde with busy hair on top. Thrusting and jerking every corner like turning the steering of a jalopy car.  There was no disturbance or intruders to stop or soil the strange love making.

Chapter 8:

The Sealed Secret with Big Promise

The Billionaire politician did not spare the cheap angel in any way. He held firmly and sucked seriously the two ripped oranges at her chest, but no juice to drink. It was too dry for the desired comfort.

Although, it was a hasty but a super love making with the innocent Yetunde. The game was too interesting to end fast without a score. The taste and experience was too rare and unusual. The taste however was made to last longer than expected.

The man was glad within himself that he got at last what he wanted to taste. When a man cherished a pretty lady, the ultimate will be to have a taste of her anyway. The sweetness of a girl would only be determined correctly when sexual intercourse is involved.

While the game was getting to the climax, Segun’s father greedily finished with her. It was utterly ridiculous. The Forbidden City was conquered!

However, Yetunde woke up in the process. She saw him vividly on her top. She also felt the tight deep penetration with the hot release inside her body.

‘’Abba!...Daddy…Daddy!!! What is this?’’

‘’Why have you done this with me….?’

’’You’ve finished me! ‘’ Yetunde lamented bitterly. She was dazed and not pleased!

Yetunde was very sad and sober uncontrollably. She began to shed sour tears of sorrow like blood with regrets. She was in profound depression. The bitter experience rankles in her brain. It was a displeasure and painful without a relief balm.

 The Ibadan billionaire politician has blatantly violated one of God’s laws secretly. What will wash away the silt of guilty?

Meanwhile, Segun’s father implored her deeply to keep quiet and stop crying. He consoled her maturely. He assured her safety and nothing to fear or get worried for because of the rape. He had compassion on her.

‘’Don’t be afraid! Don’t even doubt, I will take good care of You by the grace of God!’’ Segun’s father made bold proclamation and declared in faith.

He promised her so many goodies that could convince the heart of an angel that have committed an error already. This was absurd, a hallow mockery, and a serious fault.

The power with money is almost unlimited sometimes. Even an angel may not be able to resist the temptation of bribe when huge cash is involved.

The troubles that money has created in the world today; no court or judge can finish the case-hearing for centuries to come!

In reality, the politician did not hide his feelings for Yetunde since the day she was sighted at the corridor of his apartment long time ago. The powerful landlord promised her nice and solid supports as a lady with great virtues.

He assured Yetunde of proper care and sincere shore up that will never fail. A sealed promise like a covenant was made with her that will henceforth not dissipate or failed. Indeed, the detailed promises were without any shadow of a doubt. Henceforth, Yetunde no longer languish in perpetual needs but plenty!

But, what kind of friendly game is the dog playing with tiger?

However, he instils and instructed her to keep the deal a complete secret between both of them and that it must not be shared with anyone under the sun.

If she does, anything terrible can be the result or outcome. The secret was sealed like a covenant. He warned the naive girl to behave as instructed; trying to do otherwise in affront to the arrangement will definitely lead to immeasurable disaster and frustration. Therefore, she kept everything in her mind.

Yetunde’s experience that day was like a massive colossal vessel towering amidst the floodwater.

Thereafter, the guru politician streamed out of the room and pretended as if nothing happened that day.

Really, the house of honour is a good place to be and stay. It is blooming and enriched to be; if you can over-see or close your eyes blindly to some of the rotten incidents enclosed.

 After all, nothing is made to be blameless or perfect in totality!

‘’No honour without a trouble or hassles’’ says an adage.

Aftermath, Yetunde was dashed with huge, fabulous, fortune money that instantly reformed and changed her status by the billionaire who valued and cherished promises kept.

Thereafter, he was credibly committed and fulfilled beyond imagination his pledges to support Yetunde in life. Like a creed. It was a promise kept without any compromise!

Segun’s father shared his affection with Yetunde blissfully ignoring the outcome. He was very possessive. He lavished his love and money upon sweetie Yetunde irreverently. Vast sums changed hands along the line.

The fortunate lady found herself mired in plenty cash of different currency to enjoy life with. As if she was automatically destined to become financially successful if not fabulously wealthy.

 As agreed too, the incident between them remained solely a hidden secret in the heart of Yetunde. She did not disclose anything to Segun her real and authentic lover boy.

Instead, when they met, she only had some rounds of dreamy love making together to cover-up. The chapter was closed!

Yetunde recited this erotic people like a song to her lover boy before she left for the University Campus:

‘’Whoever Shares My Love’’

Who’ever share my love

Shares a huge drop of milk mixed and tasty

With chocolate and honey

It cheers the soul and

Gladdens the pure heart…

Shares a basketful of flowers!

Who’er shares my love

Shares a basket full of flowers with red-oranges

Sprinkled on my head the queen confetti

On a wedding day…

My love shares my love

Not my hate,

My love shares my love

Not my blames

My love share my love

Not my shames

My darling shares fire,

Not the flesh-consuming foe

Not the flesh-consuming fire

But the burning fire of my sincere heart

Which kindles the love of my apple

And warns up our hear….

For, who’er shares my love

Shares infinite ’nd unlimited

Happiness…

The blend of good heritage and accord

The pool of flowing beauty

An amazing paradisiac love ever!

Chapter 9.

 High Waves with a Bang On Campus

 In life, there will always be The Story before the Glory!

 When the brilliant Yetunde returned to the campus, she deliberately created big waves with her studies. She opened a well-stocked boutique that instantly became the talk of the town in the whole of Ilorin. 

The road to fame and glamour confessed the Ekiti born super model, was not without its rough patches. However, she was comfortable and calm but strategic; resourceful, unreproveable, unblameable and professional trained business consultant.

Yetunde operated with certitude and forthrightness without compromising on her principles. She was with a unique personality. She cultivated an excellent character among the students at the university campus.

In addition, she established a high-class fashion design centre with a unique label that reigned for long among the students and lecturers on campus with her very inspiring, uplifting and amazing blessings.

Without any doubts, fortunes smile on her. She ran a thriving business. Yetunde started to splendidly reign and ride fabulously on the shoulders of giants in the university.

She operates and walked in dominion because of her marvellous success and the amazing gifts of God bestow on her. As part of the awesome perks of being a child of favour; Yetunde’s progress was evident to all! Everything works out for the best!

She maintained herself and was never drunk with wealth or status. Instead, she was trying to seize the new dawn.

Yetunde’s extraordinary amplitude and sagacity of mind inspired many of her colleagues. She was celebrated. Indeed, she made a difference!

Yes, in the campus, Yetunde was a lily among thorns. The finest apple tree in the orchard garden! She also became a champion skier as a woman of distinction. She inspired several students to live positive lives.

At the university, Yetunde was qualified to participate in the beauty pageantry as The Campus Queen which she could have won without any contender. But never participated despite all invitations simply because the way pageantry is organised in Nigeria is full of shit.

To Yetunde, it appears the time has come to say goodbye to the glorious era when pageantry boomed with opportunities youth girls could safely explore.

Meanwhile, Segun the husband fed her with his love, raisins and apples. They were utterly lovesick.

She had money flowing to her direction on daily basis as undergraduate in the final year from different directions and sources. She had planted money tree for her as a student with streams of income to meticulously enjoy without any anxiety.

Money was no longer Yetunde’s problem but the hassles of spending without regrets. She believed and fears God despite her sudden and timely fortunes.

Yetunde never misbehave or commit any atrocity. She did not allow success and the celebrity experience to get her off balance. She distances herself from the Yahoo boys or saboteurs.

As a lady with native wisdom, she was able to cope with the new status experiences. She did not lose focus of her studies despite the number of friends and followers on the campus and in all the social media platforms.

In addition, Yetunde with her cohorts enjoyed buffet of the great politician as pets from time to time. Both the house and the experiences therein were full of goodies.

 It takes time for the ocean to get dry if at all. It is only inside a lake that a big ship can easily get sunk!

Nevertheless, Yetunde began a new life according to destiny that can never be erased. What will be, will definitely be?  A man is only making attempts for the sake of it.

In the society, only the poor have few friends. Everyone is a friend or relative to the rich-man. Yetunde became as popular on the campus as a young entrepreneur, most beautiful and extra-ordinarily brilliant student. A woman of her rank was rare and uncommon. A lot of people believed her to be an angel in human skin.

With the investments and her vast knowledge with great wealth insights, Yetunde became a consultant to both the lecturers and students. She enjoyed a massive good reputation for wisdom and intelligence.

To exhibit her acute brilliance, Yetunde in her Investor’s Guide Instructions to the University Consult stated:

‘’ Smart Investors-from novice to professional-know that diversification is one of the basic tenets of successful investing. Maintaining a diversified portfolio that reflects individual tolerance for risk is solid, long-term strategy that leads to stronger and more reliable returns over time.

By spreading risk among different companies and industries, diversification helps investors weather the inevitable period of market downturns, volatility and uncertainty.’’

She even did some projects for the university consult unit as saddled that earned the university authority huge foreign-grants. The percent approved and given to her by the Senate of the university was reasonable. She invested it in the bulk purchased of ordinary shares in the stock exchange market for future returns and dividend earnings.

Only people with wealth insights consider working with money. Most people today in the society are working for money. Real wealth can only be discovered when you engaged your earn money and resources.

Despite her genius in the use of wealth, she further enjoyed patronage from the politician in different colours and contents. Yetunde killed and fled abject poverty totally. She became completely free from the bondage of paucity and shortage forever! She was redeemed from all the curses of reckless. 

Chapter 10.

Yetunde Became A Big Mentor On Campus

Success has many friends with different faces only a failure is left alone to his or her fate to bear. We are created to carry the cross of life. As it was, the glaring progress of Yetunde on the campus could not be ignored, overtaken or waved aside by mere hands.

Despite, Yetunde was doing pretty well with her studies and combined with business. There is something special with the lady. Those who mean business and bold enough do approached her for mentorship. Success of any kind required guidance or mentorship. You cannot get the way thoroughly without harm or regrets without having an exposed person to pilot the way with.

Taking a lonely path in the business world can be too risky and unwise. If you desire to engage in a trade, the best option will be to get a master to learn from. Yetunde at a tender age was extremely lucky to be a master of trades with relevant skills naturally.

If you are alone in the business journey of life without a pilot or mentor is taking a high risk. A plane without a trained pilot will soon crash with disaster! The victims of business errors are like a plane without a good pilot. Mentorship is crucial to business.

Nothing that you may be planning to do under heaven that someone, somewhere have not done or got involved in the past successfully.

The act of gaining insights from other peoples’ experience is a great access and better off.

‘’ If you must do business to success; you must go for a mentor fast to guide you through’’ is the common advice from Yetunde.

All combined, Yetunde became a mentor, consultant and celebrity on campus!  Due to the perpetual progress that Yetunde was making on the campus and the university community. She became of point of reference and rendezvous for others to learn and imbibe knowledge.

‘’If you must be wise, never move around with a fool’’ Yetunde confessed to her followers and admirers.

The reign on campus for Yetunde was never got on the platter of gold but a reputation solidified through hard work and exceptional attitudes and strong determination. A daughter crowned with success. The difference is usually clear and gladden.

As a celebrity in campus biz, dedication, hard work and consistency ‘’Takes You to The Top!’’- says Yetunde, a private storm on campus.

With a mission to be of help to several people as much as possible, Yetunde, an unselfish mistress embraced other promising youths who aspired to be young entrepreneur. She got them to form a registered club with the Student’s Union Authority. She made herself available from time to time in doing tutorials, seminars and trainings with the members of The Young Campus Business Owners Club of Nigeria [YOCOBON]

In one of the mentorship programs organized by YOCOBON, Yetunde was highly privileged to sat-down 50 amicable undergraduates [ male and female] to deliver series of lectures and instructions on: How To Survive the Early Stages of Business’’

The business impetus of Yetunde was voluntarily shared among her protégées without any compromise or hold-back. She believed that only what is shared can outlived one with gains and ample benefits.

Yetunde was never selfish with her business virility and insights. The outcome of her directives, insights and instructions are usually with huge results. It made some of the students on campus who were involved in Yahoo or 419 deals to have a change of heart and embraced a better rest of mind way to the city of wealth or money making.

Apart from the regular training, she often support the club members with token business capital to do business with without any interest attached. She was a benefactor and motivator to several people around her. The membership of YOCOBON kept growing on weekly basis. The impact of their various entrepreneurship activities was greatly felt within the university campus and beyond. The novel news about Yetunde’s initiative spread like wild-fire in winter. The information went viral and other university campuses started forming similar club.

The agile lady of substance too was getting better on daily basis. She kept sharing her insights, ideas, token cash, seed investments and resources. She kept having more and more.

Like a lagoon, Yetunde was never sort of water. She built a network of people around herself. And from time to time, she was equally tapping greatly from other people and places to the best of her advantage. At a stage, she wisely turn her network to customers successfully with a fortune that followed.

 The world is not made for a single fellow but many. The train of Yetunde’s progressive movement was without a stop. It kept advancing divinely by the grace of God.

In recognition of her impact to the formation, supports and development of The Young Business Owners Club on Campus, Yetunde was given the grand patron award during the first Annual Week Festival organized by the club which was celebrated in a grand style. Most of the exclusive members of The Young Campus Business Owners Club of Nigeria were regarded or also known as ‘’Student Millionaires’’ on campus and in the community. They were undergraduates with distinction. The progress made by these set of students reflected in the type of life they were chanced to be living on the university campus.

On the day that Yetunde got the honorary grand award from YOCOBON; both the Federal Minister for Commerce and Industry and the Vice-Chancellor of the University were part of the important guests and big personalities that witnessed the honor of Yetunde as the Grand Patron for The Young Business Owners on Campus Club of Nigeria.

The ceremony attracted several other dignities from different quarters in the society. The Ibadan Billionaire politician was not chanced to be physically present at the occasion but was equally represented by one of his Senior Personal Assistants who gave the key note address on his behalf with a cash donation of #500000Million Naira support for the club.

However, the award given to Yetunde on that glorious day was received with Segun, the lad of Ibadan Billionaire in attendance at the University of Ilorin main campus. . It was testimonies and celebration galore at the party that followed the events thereafter.

 The good news of YOCOBON Annual Week events and how the campus set of millionaires displayed wealth classically went viral on the social media.

Thereafter, she ends up chartering away numerous awards and nomination at national and international Young Entrepreneurship Awards and Business submits for younger generations.

According to the Ekiti-born beautiful business owner and consultant, she has business in her blood and a gold mind that springs wealth creatively without stress. A brand of prime success symbol.

Yetunde, like a good chef, she was made up of all the ingredients well mixed together perfectly well. She never rushed at doing anything for best results. She usually took her time to put together everything that makes for a great endeavor with well researched backups. Really, people are great assets to have. Yetunde cherished both the people and her business engagements.

‘’Without peoples’ patronage and appreciation; no business can exist’’

She was out to achieve the rarity that comes equally with the scarcity in business and all other engagements in life.

To her, what is worth doing at all is worth doing well.

‘’ Like always tell people, am not in hurry to do anything simply because am myself and never in any competition; I execute projects at my own time and opportunity’’ confessed Yetunde.

She had maintained a high level of consult, consistence and professionalism in all her engagements and productions leading to more and more awards, trophies and certificates. What a woman of many caps, the elegant stallion. She remained relevant in the eyes of the public for her unique styles and traits! A train without a wagon could not be so long on the rail.

Yetunde was full of joy to be able to discover and help talents among the students having intuitions for business earlier in life. She was able to detect that there are so many with talents but without help or timely supports.

In the history of university, Yetunde was the first female student to attain such a feat. The recognition of which reflected in one of the awards she received on graduation later as the most outstanding ‘’ Prestigious Student Business Masters Award!!!’’

 She indeed have the success cracking code to manipulate very early in life. As an undergraduate, Yetunde practically could exploit the million-Naira opportunities in campus business.

Amazingly, her performance in the academic studies was excellent and super without any rival at all. Yetunde was like a rainbow on the campus with several colours and shades. But no matter how, she never over stepped her boundary as cultured woman with native wisdom.

In business, the quality of care, a client-centred approach to providing high quality care customer as a basic human right have being what Yetunde kept advocating and practicing as a business woman with distinction both within and outside the university campus.

‘’ Life is a risk. Business is risky as well. Those who fear to take risk will not go far in the journey of life. Therefore, fear not, success is your birth right, claim it now with all boldness!’’ Says Yetunde, the student business mogul on campus. 

Chapter 11.

The dilemma of an innocent

 [The Ecstasy of Pregnancy]

Before she discovered the ecstasy of pregnancy, Yetunde was experiencing strange dreams for some time now in her sleeps. The ugly development became a serious concern to her.

To proffer a solution, she planned to visit some prophets and her spiritual fathers at the prayer mountain in Ibadan for spiritual help, prayers and guidance.

Meanwhile, she increased her prayer life by having some mid-week night vigils and regular attendance at the campus Christian Fellowship programs for better spiritual upgrading and edification.

Her frantic efforts resulted into stabled familiarity for a while until the strange body feelings developed again that era the detected pregnancy saga.

‘’ How could it be?’’

‘’ How come?’’

‘’ What are the- preclude of my strange dreams in the past? ‘’

Yetunde declared with amazing wonders and make several enquiries within her mind.

Even though she dreamt of having a bouncing baby boy as a heritage in life, but she never thought it will be too early.

Life in most times do spring surprises of different dimensions. You only need to get yourself prepared for the sock.

 In the journey to stardom, what is destiny to happen will happy no matter how!

Without any embellishment, the thick cloud became heavy in the sky and about to experience a down-pour. For how long will the rainfall be?

When will the water flow be enough for everywhere to be flooded?

However, unknown to Yetunde, the sexual intercourse with Segun’s father had made her conceived. She had her menstruation period the following month and the second month basically.

But at the third month, her period seized totally. As a result, Yetunde became feverish with some strange symptoms. She got worried about her condition. She needed a timely solution to the plight.

Without any further delay, Yetunde complained to her doctor and visited the hospital for series of tests. At last, the Obstetrics and Gynaecologist doctor declared her pregnant. It was confirmed beyond doubts that the woman was carrying a well-positioned three months old pregnancy inside her womb.

 Yetunde endured to comply with the doctors’ orders as regards the pregnant. However, the confirmation of the pregnancy was a great bombshell to Yetunde. She was dumb-founded on the spot!

 Really, her body changed during that period. People did not suspect that she was pregnant at all. They thought she only had rest of mind that made her to put on some weight as noticed.

When the reality of pregnancy was down on Yetunde, she became upset with heartache. It was like an unimagined dream.

‘’Ahaaa! I’m in hot soup! ‘’ Yetunde told herself on hearing the mixed-up absurd news of unwanted baby pregnant as double-confirmed by the medical doctors.

‘’Who shall claim the child?’’

‘’Will it be Segun or his Father?’’

She wondered within herself. It was as if the world was about crumbling without notice. She was battling the plight of life alone. There was no bosom friend around to share the dilemma with at that crucial time.

‘’ What kind of Crossed road experience is this?’’  Yetunde inquired. She was panic and gabbled seriously. She hates herself for the pending mess.

‘’How will I explain myself now? ’’

All these thoughts and questions ran through the mind of the hard-bitten Yetunde on that fateful day as she left the university clinic where she went for the pregnancy test. She was registered for Anti-

Natal Clinic the following day.

She became nervous and empty instantly. She wailed and began to weep silently with tears of blood and sorrow! It was a turbulent and frustrated experience.

 ‘’When the wise ran into serious trouble he or she becomes a fool’’-says an adage

When Yetunde got her private apartment, she stood naked before the standing mirror to re-examine her tummy.

’’ Yes, am carrying a baby! ’’ She told herself.

What has happened has happened, there‘s no going back again. She was not ready for any abortion as a godly girl that knew the implication of such attempt.

Yetunde became confused and badly depressed. With an unkempt hair, she could not eat anything throughout that day. She was disgusted and highly grieved to the marrow. She never expected such to happen to her.

‘’What will be the way forward now?’’ remained a big question to the frustrated angel in human skin from that moment of reality.

Yetunde was bitterly troubled and downcast. The day was dark to her. She could not sight things clearly any longer. Her thoughts were absurd and tampered with. She almost cursed the day she was born to this world of vanity.

The dilemma of an innocent; hag-ridden undergraduate with a big tummy!

‘’ Will the barking of dog killed the dog? ‘’ Really, Yetunde was not interested in playing double game.

 Yetunde slept off with various thoughts ruling her distressed heart.

Nevertheless, at the mid-night in the midst of the trouble, Yetunde took a u-turn from the grief. She made up her mind to boldly informed Segun about the pregnancy news so as to cover and bury what occurred.

After all, Segun can never deny having sexual intercourse with her on free tickets several times when they stayed together during the last semester break-holidays. Awaken at dawn with the first noise of the birds.

She phoned Segun and got him vividly informed.

‘’Hello Dear, I have a good news; your baby is in my tummy already!

Segun received the news with great surprise and mixed feelings.

‘’Oh Sweetie…but that’s too early’’ Segun responded.

Actually Segun was not too serious at the dating but the news hooked him completely. He was trapped and caged!

Yes,’’ Do not taste it if you are not ready to experience it!’’ says the slogan.

The golden-boy Segun urgently met Yetunde at the university campus the next day for verification and necessary heart-to-heart discussions. Segun had no alternative than to accept fate and plan immediately the way forward in life.

There is no result that unprotected sexual intercourse with a girl cannot bring. Yetunde expressed her deep concern about the pregnancy but Segun waved all the fear from her mind.

 ‘’The child on the way will be the top crown of my love for you…I can‘t dis-own you because of anything again in this world’’

 On that day before his departure, Segun sang to her hearing the beautiful and popular song of Whitney Houton: ‘’I will always love You!’’

He made Yetunde to realise the renewal of love between them.

’’ Oh, my dear…that’s why I love You too…I love everything about You, my precious Gold….My Lover, My Best Friend Ever!’’

Yetunde responded offhand.

While inside the latest version of 7 series BMW new car,-most prestigious and expensive; that Segun came to Ilorin with. He made a parting comment:

‘’ Yetunde, I have to say this, there are a lot of women who have accomplished a lot. But in my estimation; you top them all’’

Segun voiced with something of awe in his voice. They parted with a whirlwind romantic kiss and great excitement. Almost immediately, Yetunde flashed back at one strong advised from her late mother:

‘’ Be sure that you marry a person with whom you can share your thoughts and feelings. You should marry a person who will be your very best friend and companion!’’

 On that memorable day, Segun re-assured Yetunde of his care and steps to be taken to formalize the relationship between the two of them in other to forge ahead. He promised to inform his parents immediately.

He sincerely demonstrated his deeper interest, desire, love, kindness, best wishes and affection graciously for the appealing Yetunde.

When a child visits the forest and it got to the mid-night before returning. There will be no option than to take the bold-step for reaching home in the dark. Nothing to fear again!

‘’Yetunde is pregnant and I can’t deny having love affairs with her’’

Segun mentioned in his mind as he drove off pleasurably for Ibadan.

Chapter 12.

 Money Voiced Out Loudly In Ikole-Ekiti

Thereafter, Segun met his beloved mother. She got her informed about his strong love for the pretty Yetunde. The mother was happy the more when the news of her pregnancy was told. She jumped up in joy and danced round like a masquerade in festive mood for the glad tidings.

When the good news of Yetunde’s pregnancy was told by Segun to his beloved mother. She got the long desired information with great excitement.

Segun was greatly surprise when he saw the amazing ways the aged woman danced and rolled on the floor several times with supplementary messages to almighty God who made it possible.

As recorded and brought by to memory, it took Segun’s mother complete fifteen years after her wedding with the Ibadan politician before she gave birth to Segun. That was one of the reasons while the lad and first born was given the special name that denoted ‘’victory’’!

By the pregnancy, the spell of unnecessary delay or difficulty in getting a child was removed eventually. In her private prayers, the concerned mother have begged God to spared her children from the predicaments of delay in any form as experienced by her in the past.

When one’s prayer is answered, dancing, the singing songs of praise and shouting of several Hallelujahs may not be too much to show God that a person is grateful for what the Lord have done!

In life, man cannot receive anything, unless it is granted by God from heaven above.

Also, it was double joy for the grandma simply because that weekend marks her birthday too. She immediately phoned Yetunde and offered her heart-felt prayers and safe delivery.

 Apart from sending Yetunde a cash gift of #100K for maternity care, she assured the woman of a visit the following week unfailingly.

Indeed, the news was timely and highly welcome. It gladdens the heart of Segun’s mother greatly.

After few weeks, Yetunde came home with one of her bosom friends at the university campus for the rites. She met Segun’s grandparents officially. The day was so special and highly remarkable indeed. The meeting was celebrated in a grand style.

 When money is available in excess, every scene is usually turned extra-ordinary in the house of a comfortable billionaire!

  It was a dream fulfilled. No good parent would object to his darling son getting hooked to a well cultured and promising girl in marriage. They accepted Yetunde to be the wife for their favourite first-child.

Meanwhile, the father of Segun, a fair skinned six-footer politician was greatly surprised of what was going on but kept taciturn as a matured man. He sensed it, but failed to express any feelings openly.

Later, a super grand introduction was done with the family and relatives of Yetunde in attendance at Ikole-Ekiti, the home town of the late father of Yetunde. Money was forced to talk that day without measures.

The coverage of the traditional marriage introduction was broadcast live by three FM Radio stations including Channels TV and CNN. It was a glimpse into the richness of Segun’s family that was showcased for the Ekiti people and the entire world.

At the meaningful but solemn ceremony, the young girls danced for real joy, and men folk-old and young-took their part in all the fun and merry making. They were well comforted with feast in abundance. The pummel, goodies, buffet and bounty were satisfactorily in excess. At the occasion, Yetunde was shower with fancy arrows of money in hard currency! She danced for joy as a lucky young bride.

What some people in the town thought to be the real wedding was just tagged: ‘’Marriage Introduction’’. 

The result was that the city erupted in great joy and happiness!

The laughter and rejoicing never ends immediately. The joy was reigning in the air at Ekiti town and it’s environ. It prevailed so much and went viral as well.

 There was laughter in the city; the happy songs and traditional chorus; the marriage feasts, the songs of bridegroom and bride, was never stopped for weeks. It was a magnificent and glorious day at Ekiti town.

During the solemn but heavily loaded ceremony, it was agreed upon by the two families of the couples that a date will be fixed for the real traditional wedding of Segun and their daughter Yetunde when the bride and expectant mother delivered.

Thereafter, Segun’s father, a good man and generous billionaire proved to be caring and highly supportive in several ways to the couples.

He had money and doles it out to Yetunde, the wife of his first born. It was glaring, real and authentic that the couple are trenched into a new phrase of glorious life. 

 A separate building was purchased, renovated and lavishly furnished for Segun and Yetunde in another location within the city. The edifice was sighted in beautiful natural surroundings.

When money decided to talk in the society, nothing stops the visible demonstration at display. The mansion built for Yetunde and Segun to be living happily as couples was named: ‘’The Innocent Villa.’’

It was the ace-politician and billionaire of note who gave the white house the special name during the house warming ceremony. Nobody could explain the reason for such a unique name given by the psychologist and eminent scholar.

The one-in-town castle was painted all white in and out! It was a donation to the new couples to make life more comfortable and pleasurable.

Undoubtedly, it was one of the best edifices within the axis. It is located not too far from the Senator Adewolu Ladoja circular road; off Ibadan-Lagos Express Way not far from the Ojoo Bus Terminal end.

The duplex was like a mini-palace; portable in shape and structure. So nice to behold; well fenced with maximum security in a siren environment. Almost eighty percent [80%] of the expensive materials used in the construction of the building were imported.

One of the foremost construction firms in the state was awarded the contract for the putting on of The Innocent Villa project which was speedily completed to taste within few months. The furniture’s inside the duplex; plus the finishing were lavishly fixed to taste.

Although the building may be tagged ‘’The Innocent Villa’’ but the expenditure was noisy!

What a majestic wonder house that adorned Ibadan city skyline!

The architectural marvel, also called The Innocent Villa, captivated with its beauty and opulence. Its creation and construction involved precise planning and the skilled hands of craftsmen that were able to bring into reality the ingenuity of Segun’s father.

The mastery of metalworking knew no bounds because of the God-given wisdom made manifest by the engaged craftsmen; ensuring the enduring transmission of huge raw cash flow from the billionaire that was sunk and buried in the project became visible thereafter.

Segun’s father never does anything without celebration as sign of gratification to God! Doing otherwise, to him is like covering the goodness of God!

 The house warning of The Innocent Villa was in grand style as usual. It was witnessed by families and friends of the celebrant. The couples who got the donation of the house were highly appreciative to the donor. They prayed and wished him a long life and prosperity! Indeed, nothing is too small to celebrate and show the glory of God for!

The bold mark of joining a wealthy family reflected in Yetunde’s life. The same was gladly extended to all those that took care of her as an orphan.

When a man received wealth from the lord and good health to enjoy it, what a good blessing to envy and be grateful to the creator.

The junior sister of Yetunde’s mother, a tenant in the house of the billionaire now turned mother-in-law was well treated according to Yoruba tradition.

Your in-laws are mini-gods to be highly cherished. Anyone that released her daughter to another family has done a great thing and nothing can be too big enough to show the appreciation.

As a result, Yetunde’s aunty that was responsible for her schoolings since the demise of the mother was well compensated. She also meticulously enjoyed and experienced the bounty of generosity from Segun’s father.

Nothing stopped the nice Ibadan man from blessing and spraying wealth on an Ekiti woman. For long, ‘’Ibadan people were regarded as the husbands of the Ekiti indigenes’’

A new house, lavishly furnished was barely built for her in less than three months. She was dashed with a brand new Toyota Camry saloon car for ride and a big truck for her business.

In addition, a large sum of #50million Naira [fifty million naira] working capital was released to support her food-stuff trading and supply business at Bodija Market. The bitter days were over. It is good to do well!

Chapter 13.

The Generous Ajorosun Politician

Yetunde became a child of fortune and benefactor to many of her relatives. Every one of them expressed deep gratitude and appreciates the kind guest extended by the Ibadan Billionaire. They prayed heartedly for him:

‘’ We prayed that your life continue to sparkle like diamond in good health ’’

 Definitely for Yetunde, destiny worked in her favour without any limitation. The merciful God answered her prayers in different dimensions despite the background. The change in status became highly inevitable really!

 Nothing was hidden. Money in the pocket, bank account or wallets brings confident, honour, prestige and rest of mind from the hustles of life!

The taste of honey is different from that of sugar. Seniority is not limited to mere talking or show-off, but in the display of substances as proved by the Ibadan billionaire to Yetunde and her extended family.

As if that was not enough, Yetunde was given a portable exotic spot-car for crushing at the campus. This was to make life more comfortable and stress free due to her condition. She was over pampered during the pregnancy period. It was too much and great. Yetunde was a success-not only in business, but in life! She grew, waxed great and became very great, so much so that the students at the university envied him.

 Her progress was very amusing and strange to her peers, family members and the relatives.

 At a point while alone inside her room Yetunde uttered out in appreciation saying:

‘’I slowly came to understand and realised that the opportunities that came my way were coming to me from God. I had to do by sheer labour what others do by brain power. But even so, the success came from God doing things for me that no human could do by labour or by brains’’

If not for the time frame and Yetunde’s academic engagements, Segun’s father was fully ready to send her abroad for the delivery.

 When money begins to talk nobody is ready to listen to the voice of a miser and the talkative again!

The music from the mouth of a miser is usually a mere noise when the rich-man is parading wealth!

‘’ A party gives laughter, and wine gives happiness, but money gives everything. Money talks even those with little cash can never kept it shut from talking aloud.’’

Few months after, Yetunde delivered in one of the high-class private hospitals in Ibadan. She gave birth to a fine bouncing baby boy without any hassles. The delivery was safe and smooth without any emergence!

 The child was welcome. Yetunde was also in a good condition after the child birth. The hand of God was made manifest during the delivery. In fact, two specialist doctors and a senior mid-wife were arranged and well paid to handle the delivery process being a first-timer.

Yetunde was highly grateful to God for being conceived and delivered safely without any turmoil. It made her long for peace and appreciates the more, roles played by her father-in-law who was highly supportive. She was determined to seek for peace by all means and at any cost.

Everyone is a friend to a new baby in Yoruba land. People far and near rejoiced with the politician who was lucky to have a grand-son to reckon with in life. What a blessing that must be celebrated! Nothing should be taken for granted.

The birth of the child by Yetunde automatically turned the status of Segun’s parents to grandpa and grandma in the community. You cannot be called by such a name if your off springs have not reproduced. Such an experience is attainable only by the grace of God and should not be waved off without appreciation to the creator who made it possible.

The parents were thankful to God for the favour. Segun’s father has the habit of praising God all the time. It was gathered that he was fond of shouting a minimum of One thousand Halleluyah every day for the past forty years ago.

 In some political circles, they tagged him with the alias ‘’Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan’’ We all have our secrets and ways of pleasing the creator.

‘’Do not thank me but God that deserved our praises ‘’

was is common saying all the time his responding to anyone trying to show him gratitude for his generosity that are usually alarming, outrageous and often beyond expectation.

 Meeting the Ibadan Billionaire is just meeting a kind and cheerful generous civilian.

‘’If ones daughter is beautiful, there is no crime in making the declaration’’ says an adage.

The ‘’Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan’’ was a good man of notes!

In the hall of fame, if guests were to be invited physically; Segun’s father would sit comfortable on the front row. He is not famed for flattering people and politicians.

Instead, he has made his mark in speaking the truth to power! The ace-politician was convinced, he can grind his axe intently without minding whose ox is gored as long as he is on the side of the common people.

According to the clear understanding of life with the Ibadan based billionaire:

 ‘’God gave me my talents and wealth to share with others; He gave me love to make life easy for others; He gave me treasure to share with the needy.’’

He often offers these prayers loudly and boldly when addressing his ardent followers in politics:

‘’Lord, please open my eyes that I may see the sick, the hungry, the needy and the blind all around me’’

Segun’s father believed that in life today, coping is becoming more and more difficult. Resources are overstretched and more and more help is needed to be offered to the dire masses. To him, success isn’t about how much money you make; it’s about the difference you make in the people’s lives.

‘’Can you put a smile on the faces of some people by lending a helping hand?’’ a common question from the Billionaire of note.

 In reality, it is the empty drum that makes the loudest noise. The best way to get favour from God is to give abundantly out of what God Almighty has given you. The more you give, the more He will replenish your pocket. This is the greatest reward of Christmas or life! Sharing makes life to be better!

 Think of a candle-it works silently providing light for others to see. And in the process of its work, consumes itself, burning brightly and consistently until it is no more!

His generosity was not resisted or limited to his faith alone as a Christian with Anglican background.

What a highly wealthy man from Ibadan city; with an exemplary vision, passion and unmatched courage who have impacted thousands of lives!

Apart from his erecting of big church buildings and mission houses for various churches and ministries at different locations, and the Christian Movements across the nation and beyond!

He equally supported the Muslim Movement in the construction an ultra-modern mosque with an Islamic school along Olodo-Iwo Express Road, Ibadan.

Recently, he was responsible for the donation of an ultra modern health centre to two communities in Ona-Ara local Government Area.

Yearly, have on records; he sponsors not less than twelve people for Holy pilgrimages to Jerusalem and Mecca for various religious activities.

In addition, to paying monthly allowances to numerous Pastors, Prophets, Imams and other clergy on his payroll!

He was a prominent investor and cheerful giver in the kingdom of God on earth. He owns and established a movement since thirty years ago named: Faith Partnership Programme for Gospel Investments International [FPPGII]; an NGO with a foundation.

Also, he acquired a vast land with a mountain top for prayers called Halleluyah Land at Ajia area. Also known as: The International Prayer Warriors Centre! [IPWC]

He was found of numerous good works towards the house of God and humanity without any discrimination, sentiment or fanatics. This rare attitude fetched him good name and rich reputation within and outside the city of Ibadan. He holds chieftaincy titles and awards including an honorary Doctorate Degree in Humanity from Trinity University, Lagos Nigeria!

In business, he excels with distinction as an oil magnate. His approach to business too was amazing and a class of its own. The workers in most of his business outfits are well paid and lavishly treated with several fringe benefits and packages.

Also, he has petrol filling stations located in several places across the length and girth of Nigeria. He enjoys good patronage and repute from the masses for selling with distinction and ultimate super services without any compromise.

‘’Winners Never Cheat; Cheaters Never Win!’’ is the slogan of his business outfit.

To the Ibadan based Billionaire politician, nothing is too small to thank God for and celebrate with the people. It is not in his attitude to cover the goodness of God in his entire life. The man was too generous and gentle to a fault.

No man from Ibadan can beat Segun’s father when it comes to giving and sharing with guests and the masses at large. He was never afraid of spending money on projects that can uplift the common man from the bondage of poverty and wretchedness.

No other billionaires are fit to compete with Segun’s father when it comes to the display of wealth with sense and glamour! He has the fear of God. His place was the endeavour and rally point for on-coming politicians and growing up entrepreneurs in those days.

Surprisingly, Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan was never sort of cash to donate or give out as support. He was never dried of money as if he had an ocean of it. They more he gave to the populace in form of palliative or charity; the more he was divinely blessed from both local and foreign sources unknown to several of his colleagues and business associates.

Nobody detected his source of wealth despite the magnitude.  He was not even accused of corruption when he served as a Federal Minister in the country. But a closed x-ray of the billionaire politician shows and projected a man endowed with divined wealth insights and great native wisdom that was not common which contributed to his huge wealth in the society. It was gathered that he had some foreign investments in South African, UK, USA, Canada and South Korea with an oil well in Dubai, UAE!

Today in our society, not all rights are welcome or accepted by the people. But, the forthright ability to do right and fulfil the will of God.

The Billionaire of Ibadan care less about the various allegations, rumour and negative comments and critics from members of the opponent political parties and contender groups, his adversaries, detractors and persecutors who kept misinterpreting his generous works of charity for other motives or reasons. They misunderstood his kind gestures.

Instead for those enemies of progress to appreciate and encourage him earnestly for the excellent works of charity, he was being persecuted.

Nevertheless, Segun’s father never for a minute felt bad about it. He understood wisely that just because you are good and doing the right thing doesn’t mean everybody is going to be cheering you or swerve from your path; they might even call you evil in spite of your good works. ‘’ Maintain your composure. Refuse to change!’’-advised the Ibadan Billionaire politician.

According to Segun’s father in one of his notable messages:

‘’ The earth is full of goodness from the Lord! There’s more than enough food and other things for every human being on the surface of the earth to enjoy and keep.

There is more than enough wealth in this world;

There is more than enough grace in this noble world;

There is more than enough power and ability in this world;

He said, ‘’My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge and insights.’’  Today; all the blessings of God upon the earth are yours to have and enjoy. So, don’t settle for less! ‘’

To his enemies, foes and critics, the flare Ajorosun man would say:

‘’ Never give more time to critic than you would give to a friend. Critics are spectators not players. There has never been a monument built for a critic. Critical folks are frustrated and disappointed people, disillusioned people, and unfocused people. They are hurting inside. They build their life trying to destroy others.’’  ‘’Move a distance away from them! ‘’ -advised the great Ibadan Billionaire politician of note.

The Joy of Safe Delivery

The need to have a proper baby delivery experience was ensured by Segun’s father for Yetunde who was riding on the shoulders of Giant!

The private specialist hospital where Yetunde was to deliver her baby had it so good. Ever since the establishment of the medical Centre, the management have not been all that lucky to have a client or patient like Yetunde whose father-in-law was fully prepared to over spend part of his fortune on delivery services being rendered by the organization.

More so that good quality health care delivery is costly and highly expensive these days. But when money was made available by Segun’s father like an open cheque, both the doctors and nurses including the midwives performed excellently well.

Indeed, money is a good motivator. The health and medical personnel’s were inspired and well encouraged to perform ultimately. All that was needed to ensure Yetunde and the coming baby arrived without any hassles were made standby. No stone was left unturned. Nothing was taken for granted. It was a new perspective on quality of health care services offered for a special and highly unique client that was made available. The treatment from day one of Yetunde admission to the hospital was the treatment of a VIP [Very Important Person] throughout.

And thank God that made everything to work together for good and perfectly well has planned. Both the money and efforts were not put to shame.

‘’Doctors only care, it is God that heals!’’

The dog that visits the house of tiger and returned without a blood shell deserves congratulations really!

The heavy tommy Yetunde was at the special hospital for few days when having some feelings and discomfort with her pregnancy. Although, she was about time to have her baby as calculated on the clinical records.

Nothing should be taking for granted as instructed by her father-in-law who stood in to finance all the expenses involved at one of the foremost private specialist hospitals in Ibadan located within the sire environment of Idi Ape-Bashorun Avenue where she registered for the delivery.

In his words to the Chief Medical Doctor of the Hospital, Segun’s father said:

’’ Please, and please, ensure that both the mother and child arrived safely, let there be no regrets of any kind.

I hope your hospital will maintain the reputation and long standing records in handling cases of this nature.’’

And he left the hospital premises, wishing Yetunde the very best!

‘’We shall do our best, and God will not disappoint us’’

The surgeon-in-charge responded and waved at the Ibadan Billionaire who drove out of the hospital premises.

Immediately he left, the medical personnel’s spur into action in giving intensive care to the expected mother. They were highly motivated and inspired to render a quality health service. They were well paid for the task ahead.

Meanwhile, Yetunde almost had suicidal thoughts or behavior despite her condition as a pregnant woman in the state or condition to deliver soonest. She was under a very close watch for reasons.

The delivery of Yetunde’s pregnancy was a misery and amazing. There was no complications at was no complications at all as earlier envisaged by the team of medical experts from the clinical records during the anti-natal period. Due to severe worries that the pregnant mother experienced that almost led to depression. The chance of Yetunde’s survival was based on 50/50 at first.

Eventually, there was a turn of events. The child’s delivery was smooth, fair and without any complications. Thank God that manifested his power and favor. Both the mother and the new born baby were alright and there was nothing to panic.

The chief medical doctor of the hospital who was also in attendance confessed that Yetunde escaped postpartum depression which symptoms or traces was first detected earlier inside her medical records.

While breathing a big relief said:

‘’ She escaped by mere grace of God the postpartum depression that was discovered. A form of depressive illness much more serious than the ’’baby blues’’ [relatively mild depressive and anxiety symptoms that typically clear within two weeks after delivery] that many women experience after giving birth. Women with postpartum depression experience full blown major depression during pregnancy or after delivery [postpartum depression].

The feelings of extreme sadness, anxiety and exhaustion that accompany postpartum depression may make it extremely difficult for those mothers to complete daily care activities for themselves and or for their babies.’’

Explained vividly the chief medical Director has he handled the newly born baby to his mother. Both Segun and his father were in attendance right inside the private ward of the hospital with few nurses, a midwife, anaesthesiologist and a physician assistant.

The medical experts who attended to Yetunde’s delivery showed great dexterity in their operations to avoid any health risks to her or the unborn child. They ensured a swift and hitch free delivery process.  ‘’May God forbid bad thing!’’

The ingenuity of the medical professional who handled Yetunde’s pregnancy delivery were greatly appreciated for doing a good and highly impressive service.

That Yetunde was able to deliver safely without any surgical operations called for a heart-felt gratitude both from the medical personnel’s and the family involved. The efforts put in place was crowned by good God. Yetunde had a successful child birth and the new baby born was equally alive. The ground did not break; nor the water inside spit off!

Like a mother who seeks to watch over her kids through a ‘’long night’’ was their actions ever before Yetunde could become a mother of the first grandchild ever to be born into the family of Ajorosun billionaire.

Both Segun, the amiable husband and his beloved father were extremely elated and full of joy. Thank God that their expected joy was not crippled. The journey was without fear or rear bean of hope. It was a fully blow divine favour experience from the creator who was merciful unto them.

‘’ Why shall we not rejoice, everything went as purposed’’ confessed openly by Segun when his wife Yetunde gave the baby to him.

Segun could not hold it. He welcome the child with a kiss and pat Yetunde at the back

‘’ May God preserve the child for us’’ Segun prayed heartedly.

An arousing ‘’Amen!!!! ‘’ followed from everybody around.

‘’ Congratulations! ‘’ The joy shall stay with your family for long by the grace of Allah!’’

The midwife and matron of the hospital prayed for both the mother and the new-born baby and she left to attend to other demanding issues inside the main ward with an embracing remarks. The vibe of baby-ward was felt by all and sundry.

Undoubtedly, all the midwives and the hospital attendance including the security staff smiled to the bank for witnessing the successful birth of a billionaire grandson who brought fortunes to the premises on that on forgettable day. Both the families and relatives of Yetunde heard the good news of Gods goodness and came from and near to facilitate with their daughter for the first child birth.

The mother-in –law of Yetunde was equally around. She was the first to dash the boy a beautiful gift of white Holy Bible that was place by the pillow where the baby slept. Segun mother was also the one that carried the baby with wrapper cloth at her back went they left the hospital for home. She was full of joy to the extent that if a horse who be made to run a race inside her stomach; such a racing horse will never fall or stumble. Indeed, she had the best of favor from God.

Segun sighed in relief, while thanking God for seeing both the baby and his mother alive, hail and hearty. The measure of his joy and happiness knew no gauge at that moment. He rejoiced and was highly joyful for what he saw. ‘’The hand of God ‘’ in demonstration. He prayed for his lovely wife that made his dream of having a son as the first child possible:

‘’ Yetunde, may your grace never seize. May your poise remain? May you be granted elevation in all fronts and may all the desires of your mind come to pass in due time….Your health shall never reversed or depreciate in Jesus name, Amen and Amen!!!’’

‘’To God Be the Glory!’’ Yetunde, the mother of the new baby exclaimed as she knelt down to horror God for what she experienced. She sang some songs of praise to God that did amazing thing for her. People around equally joined her in singing the chorus.

The rate of maternal mortality in the country was a thing of great concern to everybody. It is no big deal to get pregnant for months; it is another experience entirely to deliver safely without causalities. The state of health care management have depreciated drastically. 

Both the families, relatives, friends and well-wishers including people from Ikole-Ekiti, the home town of Yetunde’s father got the news and trooped into the hospital to facilitate with Yetunde for the child’s birth. They were served with various gift items, snacks and take-away in appreciation of such visits. In addition, the hospital assistance, the security guards on duty and gate-man got a share of the cash donation from Segun’s father. They all smiled to the bank in a big way. They never had it that way. It was completely an unusual experience.

 Really, no joy can be covered with cloth; Things of happiness like this are created to be celebrated! The people were truly overjoyed and highly relieved.

 Now with the new born baby boy, going forward smoothly was made possible once again. Arrangement began by the family to leave the hospital for home in preparation for the naming ceremony that will hold according to traditional rites eight days after a child’s birth.

 The good news of the child’s birth was spreading to other family members, relatives, neighbours, friends and well-wishers that Yetunde had put to bed a promising bouncing baby boy.

 Segun proved to be a man by beating his wife to the game for making her bear a boy instead. When a woman gives birth to a male child in Yoruba culture; it is humorously agreed the husband have won the match.  Equally, it is usually a joyful experience to most families when they are so lucky to receive the gift of a male-child from God.

Also, in Yoruba land, the birth of first child goes with glamour. And in the case of Yetunde who gave birth to a son was a special and high-rated privilege.

As it all went, the timely birth of Yetunde’s child birth rubbished all the perceptions and wrong notions that the mother could be a fairy that goes or vanish miserably during delivery due to her exceptional beauty bestow on her like an angel in human skin. Yetunde in some quarters was assumed to be an ‘’Ogbaje’’-the mother of African fairy!

However, thank God, the reverse was the case this time around. The story with Yetunde was not like what the enemies envisaged it to be. Instead of crying and wailing, the family of Segun have the full cause to rejoice and be glad! The garment of sorrow became unfit and oversized for them to wear. Therefore, they must rejoice and make the talking drums to speak aloud.

Indeed, the sound of joy with big smiles must occupy the air. The good people of Ibadan city must feel the impact of a new child born into a wealthy family circle. Undoubtedly, money would be made to talk louder than before.

A proof that joy visited a rich-man’s mansion can never be a hidden agenda. What will make them understand that ‘’Ajorosun’’ and the ‘’Son of the Soil’’ are never afraid when it comes to display of wealth is now on the way.

In few days’ time,’’ We shall know ‘’Who Owns the Land!?’’

Get your belly-ready; you’re about to eat yourself tired!!!

‘’Let’s Meat’’ we look forward to meeting you! At the naming day’’

-was the general invitation that rolled out and went viral. Everybody was on the lookout for the chastening day of Segun’s son coming up soonest. The countdown is on already. You are assured of excellent feed intake, healthy gut flora and buffet of money –food! Ibadan a city will rock and rock!!!

The paladin of peace, love, justice and equity wanted to celebrate his first grand –son ever. The news should spread. All and sundry are expected as guest. Nobody would be denied of his or her fraction of the bounty.

This is enshrined already and nothing will erased it as slated or planned to be. ‘’May God spare our lives to witness the days ahead’’ Majority of the people prayed and on the lookout for real day to come when money would be forced to talk in a big dimension.

‘’What will be wrong with the aging sore that it will refused to spring out water’’ says a Yoruba common adage!

The year of Money Festival is likely to be due with the on-coming celebration of Ibadan Billionaire grandson naming that will hold in Ibadan city. In few days’ time.

‘’ On the day of our celebration, may death or sickness not hold us back’’

Prayed by the Danfo driver plying Gate-to –Dugbe when discussing about the event with some of the passengers inside the bus.

Who dare kill the dog for barking? 

Who will prevent the big ram from fighting with the horns?

The duck will at any day turn the pool into a playing ground no matter the depth!

The child of a Ludo-game is meant for entrainment.

Since Segun’s father got what he wanted. Yetunde, the wife of his son had delivered safely and the new born baby was alive and good looking. Nothing stops him from displaying the act of generosity that the cheerful billionaire giver was noted for.

‘’ Yes, am impressed by your services and I need to compensate your hospital for the experience and expertise displayed’’

Said the Ibadan Billionaire when he presented a money cheque of #50000000 Million Naira in support of the hospital development together with the donation of 25000KVA giant power generator and some hospital equipment including 10 wheel-chairs for the use of patients.

The Chief Medical Director and the head of administration of the specialist hospital received the donation on behalf of hospital management. He expressed their appreciation for the unparalleled kind gesture and prayed for more blessings and sound health for Segun’s father who did what was rare and uncommon for the hospital.

‘’We shall forever remember you in our good books’’

He submitted.

The people around who witnessed the presentations were amazed and greatly impressed. It was the first of its kind to be experienced by the private hospital.

‘’If all the rich and wealthy people in our society can have such spirit of generosity in sharing and supporting the health sector, a lot of poor masses would have access to quality health care’’.

The Medical Director concluded in his closing remarks.

That is the man for you! The Ibadan born business mogul and politician will never hold back whatever he decided to do when it comes to sharing his fortune with others in need. Nobody could match him when it comes to supporting different courses in the society. It is a habit that cannot be erased from Segun’s father. 

‘’Whenever I give out bountifully, it servers as my burnt offering and open sacrifice unto God my creator’’

Confessed by The Ibadan Billionaire when he was interviewed on a Popular FM Radio Program where his act of generosity was questioned.

‘’ When a racer is well positioned on a plain path. You will be able to appreciate impute and the natural ability of an agile racing horse.

Indeed, the race-journey that took the dog a strenuous efforts of twenty years to complete will definitely be a journey of pleasure for the horse. Power pass power. We may be born equal, our strength and ability is never the same!’’

 Ibadan Bubbles With One In Town Party

At the eight day, the christening of Segun’s child was held. The grand naming ceremony took place at Premier Hotel in Ibadan. A foremost five-star hotel.

 The occasion was gracefully attended by all sort people in the society. Dignities and men of high calibres from nooks and crannies of Nigeria came for the bounty celebration. They came to merry and enjoyed themselves to the fullest. Segun’s child became a centre of attraction from birth. The boy became a celebrity baby from Ibadan at a tender age.

No joy or happiness can be covered up by the cloth. Everything of happiness should be rejoiced for by those with good sense of appreciation. Nothing is made possible without the approval of God. We are today what God has made us to be by His grace!

 It was celebration gallon for Segun’s family. All the relatives were in attendance for the naming rites of passage! Everywhere was festive. The grandson of a billionaire is being celebrated. The drummers must raise the sound of drum-beat rapidly for the dancers to respond without wrinkles.

Who will kill the dog for barking aloud or sentence the he-goat to death for fighting with the horns? That would be a blunder!

Yes, the rod must be spared for the billionaires’ sake!

Definitely, the limbs of men can be mixed up with those of the dogs for the moment.

When an elephant is slaughtered for feast; different kinds of knives are often deployed for the herculean task of butchering!

Interestingly, it was long; Ibadan city witnessed such in history. Everywhere rocks with the special Ankara fabrics distributed freely to mark the naming ceremony where hundreds of citizens were in attendance.

Everyone was accommodated and treated like Royal Guest! The gathering was well planned and organised by competent professionals without any blunder or blemish. There was no mixed up. 

This is an incontrovertible fact; the event planners did an excellent work on that outstanding day. It was an all-rounder ceremony for both the rich and the poor in the city; together with thousands of the impressionable minds.

Undoubtedly, the aged and old men and women were seen parading in joy as they were happily rejoicing with guru Ibadan politician doing the feasting for his first grand-child’s naming.

 ‘’The Son of the Soil is celebrating, we must rejoice with Him!’’

Was the chorus that occupied the mouth of visitors who could not hold their feelings and happiness on that memorable occasion?

Many indigenes of Ibadan and clans were in attendance! However, it was not the Yoruba affairs alone; other ethnic groups were present as well.

At the premises where the celebrations took place, everywhere was peaceful, although the security agents manned and bombarded the venue to check-mate any intruder who may likely misbehave. The guards were battle ready wearing unfriendly faces.

Without any oversight, the area boys were curtained, settled and fully satisfied as well.

The great and notable comedians in the likes of AliBaba, Woli Agba, Adigun Ibadan, Gbenga Adeyinka, MC Tagwaye, MC Wahala, Omobaba, Lepacious Bobe, Papa Bonboy, Funke Akindele, Bash, Laff Mattazz, Kenny Blaq, Dr. Frick, Apple Comedian, Dee One, MC Remote, CEE Jokes, Pauldgoodguy, Gabu, ATM, Shete, Obama, Still Ringing, MC Package, Anointed Mallam, Pastor Remote, Big Eteyii, Shank etc, graced the occasion with loads of jokes like a merchant. It could be tagged: ‘’The banquet of Jokes!’’

The funny ace-comedians took their turn, one after the other. They all entertained the joyful guests and the well-wishers around with super and amazing rib-cracking jokes through the day. There was no dull moment from daybreak till the closed of the day.

 Fabulous jokes that can crack the ribs were served to the happy crowd like hot snacks. The toasty taste and aroma could not be resisted at all

All drove sadness and sorrow to the foreign land completely. With a bit of gangster stuff, they kept many people on their toes and make them laugh. It was a jubilant occasion. Therefore, there should be no room for sadness or any dreary moment. What a happy celebration in the city of Ibadan!

People gathered to express joy; no one should cry or shed any tears. The poor after the taste of free rich buffer danced away freely their sorrow!

With the correct music from Super Juju King and Fuji Exponent, there was no monotonous moment throughout the time that the party lasted. People were served and over treated with every sweet taste of foods and assorted local and imported drinks with exotic wines. Enough for everyone!

When the hang-over is gone, the drunkard would realise the bills due for clearance!

Both the politicians and business associates of Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan witnessed the one in town naming. The state governor and the Bishop of Anglican Dioceses were in attendance too. The notable VIPs and dignitaries from outside the country were also numbered present. The offered buffet was super and too much of classical taste.

The popular king of Juju Music, king Sunny-Ade from Ondo state entertained the guest beyond expectation. The king of Fuji, Wasiu Ayinde also added sugar to the honey.

‘’Ariya has no End, Ariya is unlimited’’ was the popular music of King Sunny Ade that prevailed the air on that unforgettable day!

Equally, the students and lectures from university of Ilorin came to felicitate with Yetunde for the birth of her child!

At a time like this when cost of living has gone beyond the reach of common people, the offer of free bouquet by Segun’s father was good enough, timely and greatly appreciated by all and sundry. People eat and drank tired. Some got drunk at the memorable event. They were bailed out by their colleagues who piloted them out of the hall.

The house fly that drinks inside the king’s cup freely without caution will soon be found drunk and dead inside the glass cup unnoticed!

The trumpet of celebration blast grew louder and louder in the city of Ibadan! A well packed rich take home gift that included raw food items such as rice, yam flour, Gari, pasta, semovita, noodles, sugar, salt, powder milk and vegetable oil was given to everyone without any discrimination or oversight.

Everyone was treated lavishly well as instructed by the host billionaire: the Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan who was trying to bequeath the legacy of huge generosity to the poor people and the less privileged in the society.

The child was named Junior. He was giving the same name with Segun, the bonfire father!

The adage which says ‘’seeing is believing ‘’ was proofed in Ibadan at the naming celebrations. Those who witness the ceremony can never deny the excellent generosity of Segun’s father. Money was forced to speak loudly and resonance!

On that day of joy, people unanimously were saying and singing:

‘’The Rich Man Owns the World’’ The ceremony gulped too much money!

If all the money-bag politicians can have good heart like this man; the bandits and insurgency will travel away out of our country. But some prosperous individuals had forgotten that:

We came empty into this world, and we shall return back in bare-hands without holding any cash.

We met money on earth and we shall leave it behind thereafter…..nobody takes money to heaven. Be fair-minded, Do what is right!

The wise should learn to take everything simple!

‘’Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity!

‘’Softly..Softly…Softly!!! The ground may be sleepy!’’

 –A sound warning to the hearten-rich man in the district.

For weeks, the christening news and the impact was the big talk of the town!  Indeed, the naming ceremony was one in the municipality and should be considered for the Genuiness Book of World Record! Money was forced to talk louder than before.

ln the meantime, the kept secret of what occurred between Yetunde and the father of Segun…the billionaire politician of Ibadan was almost a done deal. All but, a factor was about to dig out the matter afresh despite the time lag.

’’ It appeared that the buried corpse just got one leg out not cover with sand’’

In actual fact, it is only the woman of a born child that can confirm the real father of her baby. A spouse can tell the story of her encounters before she gave birth.

Life is complex. There are things that are beyond our imagination when it comes to the rearing of children. The society today is full of vagabonds.

Most troubles with some families are the off-springs of right children being fathered by wrong fathers unknowingly. The child of another man can never behave correctly when being nurtured by a different, questionable vicar. Only the woman can determine the correct father of the child in her hands.

As a result of moral decade in the society, vagabonds are on the increase. It was a great pity that some women have given right babies to the wrong fathers intentionally due to their infidelity and unfaithfulness for reasons.

The child of a strange man outside will be brought home by the wife for rearing under the roof of an innocent husband unsuspectingly.

Can you imagine….The child of Oba River given to Osun to father! It is definitely not proper. But, who will be able to detect what went wrong?

In truth, the child born for Segun by Yetunde named Junior resembled the grandfather too much. Even a blind man can sense it lucidly. The child ’’Junior ‘’ from day one was like a second copy of the great politician.

The baby was as if Segun’s father vomited him from the mouth. The boy Junior without any doubt was a duplicate of grandpa. When you look strictly at the boy it would be as if you are observing a small physique of the grandpa. But, how come! It was too absurd to behold.

However, the born-child was feeble. No doubt about that and nothing to gossip for.

This was alarming and amazing to every member of the family. None was bold enough to blow the whistle or raise any alarm.

Yes, a child can resemble any of the parents. And sometimes, it may not. There may not be any specious approach when the born child took after the parents, any of the grandparents or the great-grandparents as well. It all depends on the handiwork of nature.

 Every born child must and will resemble someone in particular. But, there must not be any shady deal involved, infidelity or adulterous act by the mother along the line.

No child can claimed two living fathers. Likewise, there are no children without a biological father.  Only that such a father may not be known or be far away!

To be candid, when a child is born, only the mother can confirm the real father. We are living in a more complicated world these days where the real plain truth has become a scared commodity.

The troubles encountered by pregnant woman can never be reported through the hubby.

Chapter 16.

The Money Power

In the meantime, the kept secret of what occurred between Yetunde and the father of Segun…the billionaire politician of Ibadan was almost a done deal. All but, a factor was about to dig out the matter afresh despite the time lag.

’’ It appeared that the buried corpse just got one leg out not cover with sand’’

In actual fact, it is only the woman of a born child that can confirm the real father of her baby. A spouse can tell the story of her encounters before she gave birth.

Life is complex. There are things that are beyond our imagination when it comes to the rearing of children. The society today is full of vagabonds.

Most troubles with some families are the off-springs of right children being fathered by wrong fathers unknowingly. The child of another man can never behave correctly when being nurtured by a different, questionable vicar. Only the woman can determine the correct father of the child in her hands.

As a result of moral decade in the society, vagabonds are on the increase. It was a great pity that some women have given right babies to the wrong fathers intentionally due to their infidelity and unfaithfulness for reasons.

The child of a strange man outside will be brought home by the wife for rearing under the roof of an innocent husband unsuspectingly.

Can you imagine….The child of Oba River given to Osun to father! It is definitely not proper. But, who will be able to detect what went wrong?

In truth, the child born for Segun by Yetunde named Junior resembled the grandfather too much. Even a blind man can sense it lucidly. The child ’’Junior ‘’ from day one was like a second copy of the great politician.

The baby was as if Segun’s father vomited him from the mouth. The boy Junior without any doubt was a duplicate of grandpa. When you look strictly at the boy it would be as if you are observing a small physique of the grandpa. But, how come! It was too absurd to behold.

However, the born-child was feeble. No doubt about that and nothing to gossip for.

This was alarming and amazing to every member of the family. None was bold enough to blow the whistle or raise any alarm.

Yes, a child can resemble any of the parents. And sometimes, it may not. There may not be any specious approach when the born child took after the parents, any of the grandparents or the great-grandparents as well. It all depends on the handiwork of nature.

 Every born child must and will resemble someone in particular. But, there must not be any shady deal involved, infidelity or adulterous act by the mother along the line.

No child can claimed two living fathers. Likewise, there are no children without a biological father.  Only that such a father may not be known or be far away!

To be candid, when a child is born, only the mother can confirm the real father. We are living in a more complicated world these days where the real plain truth has become a scared commodity.

The troubles encountered by pregnant woman can never be reported through the hubby.

‘’The person that swallowed mortal will not sleep or rest comfortable ‘’ says an adage.

He who destroyed the house of swaps definitely invited troubles for himself.

‘’Who will prevent the furious flood of Ogunpa from carrying sand into the rivers?’’

Therefore, Junior resembled someone within the family of Segun. That is Ok, the distance is not farfetched. No problem in that, no hassles as well. The storm should be made to rest inside a big cooler.

Obviously, Segun the bonfire father of Junior too noticed vibrantly well the close resemblance of the boy with his father from head to toe. However, he failed to attach many negative meanings or impression to it in any way. He never raised any eye-brow at all.

 After all, Segun too was the true youngster of his father in resemblance and body build-up. The only area of difference was in the skin complex. Both Yetunde and Segun are dark in complexion like the grandmother. But Junior was born with fair complex and smooth skin like that of the grandfather.

The nature cannot be blamed for such outcome. Who will be bold enough to question God of destiny on any issue at stake in life?

Essentially, everyone cannot sleep and face the same direction. Things may not go well that way. Some people are highly gifted among women who can interpret or read unusual meanings to certain things in life.

The grandmother was not comfortable about what was happening as regards the closed resemblance of Segun’s son with her hubby which was too suspicious and obvious.

On detecting what she saw as a rebel, Segun’s mother took a bold step for clarification of the deadly act.

The woman questioned her husband if there were any romantic love affairs between him and Yetunde, the wife of their son.

The ace-politician waved off the allegation outright.

‘’Ahaaa! How can I descend so low to that level…Will I be-little myself… Trust me…Nothing of such, dear!’’

Segun’s father told his wife jokingly. 

‘’Baba Segun; I know you to be a lion that is usually interested in eaten fresh meat’’

The grandmother responded to her husband.

‘’But not like this one, a horse does not eat the grass underneath it’’

Segun’s father replied with a serious smile.

She was bamboozled and cajoled!

But, If the person talking is a fool, the listeners must be wise.

The gains in lies cannot be missed by the two people involved!

The politician scooped his wife with series of other pending matters so as to dismiss her allegation.

 Really, there may be an element of truth in every rumour!

Thereafter, the case was closed and buried finally. Nobody referred to it again in the whole universe.

‘’There is nothing strange again. Nothing to raise your stress or engaged unnecessary worries.  If you are too concern about issues of life, it can lead you to untimely grave experience.

Therefore, learn to take life as simple as possible. The highly exposed politician do admonished his wife and followers on different occasions.

Those who failed to give their minds rest do suffer high blood pressure on the long run.

Oh Yes, the world cannot end like that. Nothing on earth can make the heaven to fall…impossible!

Fear can kill. Therefore, never allow the fear of anything get you down. Tomorrow will come no matter what today may be speaking. Pleasant or unpleasant!

And when the toil is over, today will become yesterday and every incident therein becomes history automatically.

We may be writing the history now, but later will shall be the history that other people will be talking about…That is life for You!’’

Indeed, you could take Segun’s father for a church Pastor or one of the highly rated motivational speakers of our generation. He was a man of many colours and shades. He was a bookworm and a workaholic. He owns a very big library with stock of books worth over 2billion dollars.

No individual in the whole of Nigeria has such an asset like the Ajorosun man. He got many awards and honours from the nation and international organisations because of his versatile and genuinely.

Recently, the Baba Halleluiah Olowo Ibadan earned a Doctorate Degree in Philosophy from The Nation Open University. He had money, people and books. He planned to establish a radio station for Yetunde that will be named Rejoice FM. The registration of the proposed radio station is already in progress anyway.

 What can money not do? Is there any question that money cannot answer in this country?

Chapter 17.

 The Only Child Thereafter

Yetunde and her hubby enjoyed several opportunities and fortunes from the father in-law and the rest members of the family. She was a wife proud of by Segun too.

Yetunde was a brilliant daughter of honour. She finished her studies with First Class from the UniIlorin. She enjoyed her sole-life without exhibiting any thrift attitude. What a highly disciplined and cool headed wife?

Yetunde was the overall best student from her faculty. Her brilliance was without measures. The gift of establishing a Radio Station was the promise of the father-in-law on the graduation day aside from other special awards granted.

‘’If lie travels for twenty years, one day the truth will overtake’’ says a Yoruba adage!

Let us wait patiently and see.

The photographer will one day come up with the image or picture captured with his camera.

Nothing is hidden under heaven. One day the plain truth of every matter will be widely exposed including the very serious evil done in the past hidden and not revealed.

Really, a time would come in the nearest future that The Sealed Secret will be blown widely open. Will it be palatable? It is just a matter of time for the vagabond to identify himself in the house of honour and prestige.

Despite her advancement in age, Yetunde never lost her appealing. If you should come across Madam Yetunde; the mother of one issue at home or in the public. You think, what a golden under eighteen girl! She’s got everything going for her: good looks, charm, and intelligence.

Both Segun and Yetunde had wealth to a reasonable standard. They lived in opulence; eating four times as much food as their body requires.

 As it was slated and arranged by destiny, the teenager boy Junior; the son promising of Segun grew up rapidly. As a fast growing child, he started schooling at a very tender age.

He was a talented and gutsy boy that the parents were proud of. Almost everything about his growth was amazing and very unique. Junior was a versatile and lovely child like her mother.

Unfortunately, both Yetunde and Segun did not have any other child after Junior was born few years back. This was not planned at all or in tensional.

As a woman and mother, it was discovered that Yetunde could not get pregnant for a while. It was a rife. All frantic efforts made by the couples failed woefully. They were at a crossed road.

Every step taken has been in futility. Actually, Junior was ripped to have another kith and kin behind him but it was unrealistic. Yetunde was temporarily barren but hopeful.

 The issue at stake demands a prompt attention from the serious minded couples.

Actually, when an orange is sweet and juice, eating more than one is most likely to happen.

The sweetness of honey is never rejected by the tongue.

 You can’t sweep the floor of a house once and expect it clean for life!

The experiences of life are usually continuous or often repeated.

Both Segun and Yetunde desired and cherished having additional child. But all their efforts on the issue were like pouring water on the outer side of an egg. It will not hold.

Segun believed in figures as a chartered accountant, with clear understanding and the insights of multiple figures. ‘’One’’ as regards asset is never a comfortable zone and highly risky.

A child was not the best for the young couples. However, no individual can outrun or ran pass the mark of destiny. Every journey must have a specific destination.

Life and the experiences are lessons to behold for the wise. The prudent with native wisdom will tap constantly from the best teacher referred to as ‘’Experience.’’

Experience, they say is the best teacher today!

Nobody is older than his or her experiences of destiny. What will be; will be?

Sometimes, what is bound to happen will be? What is written is written already. We are only making efforts! In fact, our experiences are just the simple interpretation of destiny.

In life, difficulties mastered are opportunities won. Every situation has its own benefits if well managed.

Indeed, no one can force a ripped coconut to fall. There is time for everything under the sun.

The fact remains, Junior the only child of Segun may be due to have followers behind him. However, the reality of such expectation looks like a mere dream for now. The couples search for additional teenager has been fruitless.

‘’Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a real blessing’’ [Psalm.127:3] 

Every child is a heritage from the Lord. What a wonderful privilege it is for parents to rear the next generation! Children are blessed when they have parents who loved them and taught them how to manage their money.

Proverbs 22:6 says, ‘’Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.’’

Despite, Yetunde was never a cranky woman!  Conspicuously, the tummy of Yetunde also appeared big without foetus inside. The rain of a new infant seized for a while. This is an incontrovertible fact.

In the process, the two couples sought for spiritual solution by visiting the prophets and attending mountain tops for fervent prayers and counselling.

 A barren-woman desperately looking for additional child will not sleep at home all the time. It was like a constant dripping on a rainy day.

 With God all things are possible. If we can pray; something will happen! Those who do not pray deprive themselves of the blessings that only God can give!

In addition to finding help spiritually, the couples took a bold step further by going for medical attention to detect if anything went wrong with any of them.

As a result, Yetunde underwent series of tests and medical treatments. They even took some herbs as recommended. Her heart was heavy for not having additional child of her own.

It was confirm that the couples are medically fit to produce additional kid. The seizure was temporary. They only have to wait for God-the embodiment of divine strength!

At an appropriate time in the sight of God, the joy of a new child will visit their castle again. The blessing of childhood will one day be bestowed on them eventually. They just need to be patient for a while. It is never late in the sight of God to do it for them.

Since no one can stop the wind or hold unto anything with oil-slick hands; what is destiny to happen to a man will eventually become a history to be told like folk-lore!

To have rest and peace of heart, don’t fight the facts of nature. It is a battle that cannot be won!

In life, a rich man can buy virtually anything but not a biological child. 

The couples waited and waited. The story remained the same. When human efforts failed on an issue of life the best will be to result to fate and forge ahead. Tough times never Last! But the Tough People Do!

A long the line, both Segun and Yetunde were appreciative  to God almighty that did not allow them to engage in the devilish thought of terminating the pregnancy of  Junior that came at an odd time years back when the mother was an under graduate in the university then.

‘’All things work for good. If not, regrets would have been our potion now.’’ 

Thankfully both couples acknowledge the fact, and consoled themselves further.

Since the situation remained as usual. The couples were yet to make any headway in their struggles to have additional child.

 Segun as elite accepted it and resolved to fate. He did not give himself any further headache again. Instead, He faced squarely other pursuit of life with his other half.

‘’After all, a man with a son cannot be declared barren or childless in the society’’.

The adoring Yetunde voiced out happily and cheerfully in one of their discussions as husband and wife!

As the little-boy Junior grew-up rapidly, Segun was getting elevation in his place of work. Yetunde’s business too was booming with huge and bountiful contracts. The splendid of life was to the favour of both couples. Things were stunning for them in the society. They were experiencing divine blessings that made them multiply like the stars.

Chapter 18.

 The Strange Naughty Boy Again!

Consequence, during one beautiful afternoon, the both couples at brink of returning from the colourful and glorious end of the year party organized by the school their son was attending.

The school was a high-rated Private Nursery and Primary School located at the Agodi-Ikolaba G.R.A not far from The Government Secretariat within the city of Ibadan.

Segun and Yetunde were proud of the tender son they are blessed with as parents. The indisputable child performed excellently well at the occasion. Junior had the overall best-students prize as the most brilliant pupil and a bright spark kid in the entire school.

Some of the passionate parents in attendance at the end of the year party prayed and wished to have a kid like Junior who will bring glory to their family too.

When the ceremony was over on that afternoon, they left for Agbowo to make some business transactions before heading home. On the way coming, they had a brief stopover at Segun’s parents residence located at Agbowo before the Ibadan-Lagos Express junction, not too far from the Ojoo end.

The genius Junior, Yetunde his mother, and Segun were gladly welcome. They were well treated and lavishly entertained by the grandparents. The atmosphere was very splendid.

They were served like an august visitors because it was long they had time to be physically available to wine and dine with the aged lovely parents.

Segun’s father was extremely happy at Junior’s performance in the school as reported by the parents. The boy was hugged by the guru-politician.

Both the grandpa and grandma prayed for Junior with mouth wetting promises. ‘’Good Boy, keep it up!’’ the small boy was happily encouraged cheerfully by the grandparents.

After few hours, they were set to leave for home. Junior was a bit reluctant. The small boy exhibited some signs of snub. The mother acted as if she was absent minded to the reactions. However, the sharp boy bears out his mind.

Junior graciously requested from his parents loudly that he loved to stay behind to spend few days with the grand-parents.

‘’Hey! Let me stay a few days with Grandpa and Grandma’’ – pronounced joyfully by Junior!

 The bubbly couples looked at each other without uttering a word. What a brilliant request from a highly brilliant and intelligent boy!

It was unexpected. Segun did not object it. Likewise, Yetunde could not express her frank openly. Segun and Yetunde looked at each other. They both laughed quietly.

 Invariable, it was approved. That was how Junior stayed behind to have some funs with the grandparents.

Thereafter, both Yetunde and Segun without any alternative waved Bye…Bye to the boy! The vibrant couples drove home to enjoy themselves further for the rest of the week.

 To be candid, Yetunde was not pleased at all with the approval of allowing the boy to stay with grandparents. But she does not have the impetus to say no. The parents of Segun would give such objection a negative meaning or interpretation.

Ideally, when you are at the place of in-laws as wife or woman of virtues, you need to put on acceptable behaviours no matter how inconvenient such may be.

Native wisdom demands such an attitude so as to escape naggings from your in-laws.

The river is never afraid, only the swimmer must be cautioned. In speaking the plain truth, the trouble-some and restless Junior had good times with the grandparents of his father. He was well taken good care of without any discrimination. The boy had a nice time.

The grandma, mother of five groomed children including Segun gave the grand-child a taste of how his father was nursed when young.

While Junior was with grandpa and grandma, he behaved so well. Both Father and the age-woman loved him with his youthful attitudes.

But sometimes, he could display some strange attitudes such as snoring when sleeping and bed-wetting. No child is free or innocent of such odd experiences or stories. We all have our follies!

The grandparents were still happy with the lad despite. It was the boy that made them to be referred to as grandpa and grandma. Also, Junior is the first grandson that will be numbered for them on the Obituary Poster when they died and passed-on to the great beyond.

 Therefore, they have to bear it. Every status has its own toil. Every crown is usually with a thorn.

The Boy became too troublesome for comfort!

When alone, the funny boy would be seen looking critically at face of Segun, his assumed father all the time as if he detected something unusual and wanted to voiced it out. But like the dream dreamt by the bull-dog during sleep was never revealed anywhere. It remains with the dog forever.

Likewise, since the everyday that Junior started his holiday at the grand-parents residence at Agbowo, he was always seen to be critically observing the face of the grandpa. The father of Segun noticed it but kept mute.

Equally, the billionaire politician had the ample chance to examine Junior for the resemblance accusation in the past. From all indications, Segun’s father saw his traits on the questioned controversy child that are too much to ignore. He knew the boy to be his own in everything, undoubtedly!

 Sometimes, when the boy talks from a distance, one would mistakenly took the voice to be that of Segun’s father during the period of stay.

But, it became extremely difficult for Segun’s father to claim Junior as his bonfire son. What a very hard pill to shallow for treatment?

 He could not be bold to make such a declaration or acceptance; despite all the suspicions and accusations from his wife that he bluntly waved off!

Although he speaks sense and no-nonsense with boldness. The naughty boy’s whose mouth does not fear to make any utterances or declaration

One day when grandma left home for the market with her driver. Junior was left behind with his grandpa to play and feast with.

 The brave boy boldly approached the grandfather in a serious mood. However, when it got to the peak, the notorious boy moved closer to his grandpa when they were charting and playing together. The boy paused and repeatedly looked directly at the face of Segun’s father and boldly said with all extemporise: He told the man:

‘’Grandpa, I see you as my Father because I resembled you most and not Segun’’

Junior told the ace-politician frankly

‘’No….No…No…!!! Segun is your father…Am only your grandpa’’

The man responded to the boy inside the bedroom where the two of them were having a rest.

With a baleful expression, the politician was baffled and apathetic. He did not expect such a claim from Junior at that tender age. What a funny embarrassment?

However, a trained politician is ever ready for any awesome game both during the day and at night. On seeing what was going on, Segun’s father became highly worried, confused and greatly troubled. It became a nightmare.

He therefore retorted may be Yetunde, had disclosed to the boy what happened secretly between the two of them.

It has been said that for a stranger to enter a particular town and identify correctly the grave of a blind man, an indigene must know one or two things about it!

However, Segun’s father maturely handled the situation as an experienced politician. No matter what happened, white can be turned black overnight.

No shaking, nothing to fear. This is our world; we can manipulate it any how!

Money power can seal up anything in the country including the mouth of an angel!

From that moment, Junior’s case became the only thorn in the flesh of Segun’s father. As good as the boy was admired and appreciated by the grandparents. He often times miss-behaved as a kid with little understanding of life.

 Sometimes, he could be asking sensitive questions that one must be careful in given straight answers to because of the likely implications.

The aged father began to make silly complains to his dearest wife about some of the unpalatable strange attitudes of Junior that he cannot tolerate any longer.

The madam who had the training and experience in the grooming of kids and teenagers pleaded seriously with her husband on the matter.

‘’ No matter how good a person may be, there will be a weakness. That is what life is made of; we need to tolerate each other no matter what.

Don’t blame Junior for being outrageous. He is still at tender age. Whenever he becomes an adult, he is going to adjust and have better understanding of life.’’ Politeness requires us to remain silent on this issue.’’

Grandma admonished her hubby softly on behalf of the boy Junior!

The wife made Segun’s father realized a man cannot claim to be perfect except Jesus Christ of the Holy Bible.

‘’Dear, you are right…when I was like the boy in my days…I was more than terrible too’’ Segun’s father mentioned jokingly.

The grandparents had a rib-cracking laughter together and went to sleep that night.

To be candid, the short stay of Junior was very lively. It was as if the boy has been with the grandparents for years. The family was lucky to be blessed with a rare breed and a friendly grand-child.

Amazing, a young child that was so sharp and highly intelligent. The boy Junior behaves as if he was older than eight year. He could be restless during the day.

Jumping from one sport to the other; singing, dancing and making a special display that prompts his natural inborn talents as a gifted child of favour. He was healthy and never falls sick throughout the stay. What a good kid to take good care of like the precious gold.

In appreciation and likeness, Junior was presented a giant teddy bear as parting gift by the grandfather to be playing with. It was hoped that the toy would keep him more engaged and busy.

In fact, there was no boring moment for the boy except when he was sleeping or eating his favourite food. Junior had ethics and table manners. You can never catch him talking when at the dining room eating.

 ‘’When eating, you should not talk’’ the boy would caution any of the grandparents or anybody who dare break the rule.

‘’ Really, human talents are awesome. But they need to be channelled rightly!

A positive attitude does accomplish more than defeated, negative frame of mind. There’s no doubt about it! ‘’

When it was discovered that the boy love hearing story, Segun’s father told this moral lesson folk tale to Junior to keep him busy and entertained:

The Spider!

A certain king flung himself down in a lonely mood to think. Tis true he was a monarch and were a crown, but his heart was beginning to sink for he had been trying to do a great deed.

To make his people glad, he tried and tried, but couldn’t succeed and so he became weak and quit sad. He was frustrated and needed a divine intervention.

As a result, he flung himself down in low despair grieved as man could be. After a while, as he pondered ‘’l’ll give it all up’’ he said!

Just that moment a spider dropped with its silky, filmy clue. And the king in the midst of his thinking stopped to see what the spider would do.

It was a long way up to the ceiling dome and it hung by a rope so fine that it could get to its cobweb home.

The king could not define it soon began to cling and crawl. Straight up with the strong endeavour, but down it came with a slippery sprawl, up, up, up it ran, not a second to stay to alter the least complaint.

Till it fell still lower than before, and there it lay quietly. A little dizzy and faint.

Its head grew steady-again, it went, and travelled a half yard higher. Twas a delicate thread it had to tread and a road where it feet would tire. Again it fell and swung below, but again it quickly mounted; Till up and down, now fast and slow many attempts were counted with courageous efforts and energy.

‘’Sure’’ cried the king in great excitement! That foolish thing, will strive no more to climb, when it toils so hard to reach and cling and tumbles every time.

But up the Spider went once more. The trial of another chance hopefully. ‘’Ah me! Tis an anxious minute’’

He’s only a foot from his cobweb door, Oh, say, will he lose or win it?

But, steadily, inch by inch,

Higher and higher he got and bold, little run at the very last pinch put him into his native cot

‘’Braw, braw!’’ the king cried out. All honour to those who try. The spider up there, defied despair. He conquered and why shouldn’t l?’’

The noble king braced his mind and gossips tell the tale, that he tried before and this time did not fail.

The awesome poetic –cum prosaic story of how an insect tried to win its battle is an eye opener to those facing any challenges of life. The next attempt could result in the desired victory, therefore never stop in making the move despite!.

The boy got the message and was highly grateful for the story told by his grandfather on that day. 

Chapter 19.

 The Promise Kept Intact

During that weekend, Yetunde eagerly came to pick her boy Junior back home so that he could attend the Sunday service at Redeemed Gospel Church International. Actually, Junior will be leading the children choir at the harvest service.

The absence of the boy almost made Segun sick. He was used with the son. Yetunde’s visit to pick the lad was with the consent of her husband.

Apparently, when Yetunde was with Segun’s father, the wife was not at home. She had travelled to Lagos to attend a wedding. The grandma was not likely to return until Sunday afternoon after service.

On sighting Yetunde, the wife of Segun, the guru billionaire politician saw the visitation as a chance again to re-enforce some things. The faint hearted Segun’s father tactically enquired from Yetunde solemnly if she ever told Junior or anyone else about what they had together in the past; simply because of the strange, nasty, funny behaviours exhibited by her boy to him during the short-stay. Yetunde was enraged by the sensitive statements from her father-in-law.

‘’No sweetie…you should count on me’’

Yetunde assured her father-in-law with a lovely smile.

The mother of Junior further explained to the aged grandpa that she was not pleased or at peace with the approval granted her son to stay behind with them for the short stay

‘’Sir, to be candid, if not because there was no option for me on that very day; I would have not have released my son for the short stay’’

 In a hushed voice, Yetunde declared boldly!

Junior is such a strange child…he could sometimes be rude or probing.

‘’He could bellicose most especially when cautioned against his mind.’’

The mother of Junior told plainly Segun’s father and she apologised for any embarrassments caused by the lad during the hang about.

‘’I ‘II charm him against doing such next time please’’

 Be rest assured and trust me….

‘’Hey, how come tell anybody about my mistake…what will be wrong with me to disclose such secret to anybody living or dead…never…never…never…I’m not daft!’’

Yetunde said further in a serious mood.

Segun’s father smiled as Yetunde coyly winked suggestively at him. The secret lives of sweet hearts met again. What a big chance to chill out some pending matters!

Meanwhile, Yetunde the wife of Segun denied out rightly ever informing anybody how she was raped by the politician in the past.

‘’Our secret remained a secret and it must be secretly kept and preserved for ever’’

Yetunde authoritatively pronounced.

 ‘’Haba, when am not a kid or inexperienced. What do I stand to gain from making the declaration of such sacred act?

‘’Rubbish, I can’t be so foolish or daft! ‘’

The amity between the two of them was so hidden like a Sealed Secret that was hard to blow open by mere person unharmed.

Yetunde was not sort of words any longer. She told grandpa that the deal between them had been died and buried for quite a long time and nobody can uproot it again.

With the statements of assurance from Yetunde, the troubled politician who foresaw danger with the boy Junior‘s unusual utterances became relief. The soaring tension in his heart vamoosed like a deflated balloon instantly. The man’s high blood pressure became normal right away.

Segun’s father was extremely delighted with Yetunde at that instant. He was gladly happy for having secret affairs with a matured woman; with better understanding unlike some others.

Cheerfully, he drew Yetunde closer to himself and gave her a romantic kiss.

‘’You will surely see my hand of favour before you reach home today for keeping the sealed secret intact’’

The billionaire politician assured Yetunde.  He was highly elevated from what he heard from Junior’s mother.

Thereafter, light aromatic refreshment was offered to appetizer Yetunde after they had exchanged banters for a while over bottles of red wine, stick meat and snacks.

A meal of frivolous pounded yam was served with apricot to crown the length engagement. They both ate the sacrificial meal together.

The housefly that is freely drinking wine inside the king’s cup will one day get drunk and soaked.

A woman should not forget the bottle of rat poison on the dining table; it could be assumed to be a juice for the dinner!

In the scenario, the boy Junior with unique hindsight appeared to have occupied himself with the giant-size Teddy-bear purchased for him as Greek gift by the grandfather as promised. He was bystander!

When both Yetunde and grandpa were staying together; they took the kid for granted. What a blatant error! Underscoring Junior doing a chid-play at the small waiting room, they be-little Junior as a small boy.

They assumed that he does not understand vaguely what was going on! He was almost absent minded to the scenario. Indeed, there was relatively a closed standing meeting and lengthy nefarious discussions between Yetunde, the mother of Junior and Segun’s father on that Saturday.

However, it is only the almighty God that can expose precisely the concealed actions of a father-in-law that turned himself to a surgical-doctor overnight behind closed door with his son’s beloved wife.

Anyway, nothing is strange again under the sun. It is a common practise elsewhere unchecked!

The hungry cat can swallow a tasty meat if placed within reach. But with the caution of aftermath, a dog should scare away from eating all the found dead-meat so as not to swallow poison as tasty soft meat freely.

 Life is delicate and should not be managed anyhow.

‘’Hey Yetunde, I always lose my sense each time I sighted your image…I have nightmare because of you nearly every day’’

Segun’s father confessed deeply in appreciation of Yetunde…the fresh African Beauty…An angel in human skin living at heartland of Ibadan.

‘’That will be for another day; the road is not clear’’

-Hearten Yetunde pleasurable discharged her father-in-law demand for sexual intercourse in aplomb audaciously. However, the deal was too dark for anyone to get a clearer picture.

Fortunately, without any overstatement, gaily Yetunde enjoyed fortified love and care from grandpa. Fortunes smile on her for the past years as vowed by the billionaire. The aged man was not sort of fulfilling his earlier promises of good care for Yetunde, the wife of Segun.

The showers of raw cash and splendour gifts amazingly flowed like a stream regularly for several months. Yetunde was extremely fostered by her father-in-law without gauge or any limitation. There was nothing demanded from Segun’s father by the woman that were not provided or made available for years.

The father-in-law was like a Father Christmas to the woman. Every day was raining raw cash for her in one way or the other. He sincerely demonstrated his deeper interest, desire, best wishes, love, kindness and affection graciously for Yetunde.

Undoubtedly, the big fortunes were boldly settled permanently with Yetunde as influenced by Segun’s father. Indeed, Yetunde’s life presented a series of striking events and experiences of poverty and wealth. She inherited and enjoyed unlimited wealth accumulation.

The cash tap like an ATM was flowing and dropping money into Yetunde’s pursue until it got fattened up within a short span.

Anyway, the hidden love together with the sealed secret remained a covenant and bond between Yetunde and the generous Ibadan-based politician who refused to grow old.

Chapter 20.

The Deserved Compensation Landed

For reasons best known to her, Yetunde did not throw decorum to the wind as desired by Segun’s father to be sharing the same bed.

When it was time to leave, Yetunde was pleased and happy. She stepped out of the building highly excited about the promise of another round of compensation for keeping the sealed secret intact. She looked forward to it.

The billionaire father-in-law had a rest of mind. The departure was on a good note anyway.

When what one love to eat is not available; one would joyfully search for an alternative.

Yetunde gleefully jumped inside her gleaming black Highlander Toyota Jeep with her son and drove off. Grandpa waved bye to Junior. The boy was crying. He did not love to leave the premises.

‘’Grandpa, let me stay with you…I love You! ’’ the boy boldly uttered while inside the car. He was pampered despite his grumblings.

‘’Never mind…Grandpa will come to pick you after the service on Sunday’’

Yetunde with eyeful assured him jokingly! She was only deceiving the boy.

 Both Yetunde and Segun’s father had meaningful eyes contact. He winked at the woman with back slapping while trying to lock the car door and took off finally.

The departure was on fresh notes with lasting memorable experiences!

Indeed, Yetunde had benefitted handsomely from her secret relationship with Segun’s father.

Meanwhile, for concealing the secret, Segun’s father planned to compensate the woman out of his reserved fortunes.

Yes, when you make a wealthy man happy and glad. No gift will be too big for a dash.

Immediately Yetunde left with Junior to their home on that Saturday evening, the billionaire went straight to the sitting room thinking almost aloud.

‘’What a matured woman to have like Yetunde instead of the haggard old, unserviceable fuddy-duddy woman that is almost out of stuff’’

lf truth be told, the beauty of Yetunde cannot be ignored by any right thinking man of taste including the billionaire politician from Ibadan Municipal.

Oh my God, Yetunde as a woman had the gazelle of a beauty queen with the corpulent physique of lady of substance with comely appearance.

‘’If Yetunde could be so preserved to that level, definitely; she deserved a bountiful compensation from me’’

The billionaire bravely confessed, joyously raising a punch at the wall.

In the gibbers, Segun’s father thought that the parting gift will erase his promiscuity. Nothing is too big or small to compensate any loyal individual.  Most especially, in the situation when the favour of God is at work.

Secrets are meant to hidden and kept and not to be exposed. Those who can hold the mouth will not suffer the grip!  God too have secrets and warn against the reveal of it unnecessarily. Life is made up secrets as well.

In the society, there is some information that should be covered and never broken, exposed or revealed no matter the pressure involved simply because of the likely negative or severe implication. It is unfortunate that many people have meant their untimely death in our society simply because they attempted to expose hidden secrets at their disposer.

 Keep Secrets Secret; Do not Expose the Tin Can of Worms!

Be remained again and again, secrets are meant to be sealed and kept intact and never to be exposed. Secrets are confidential. In life we all have our secrets.

‘’The soup inside the stomach of an elder is never heard shaking but intact’’ says a Yoruba adage.

If you love yourself, keep your secret kept; if not, you will soon suffer the consequence.

With the pretty Madam Yetunde while on the way home with Junior at the back seat of the car. She kept the secret of the deal between her and Segun’s father intact and untouched.

The secret was sealed and kept undisclosed at a corner inside her sole- heart. Yetunde had never told anybody on earth what went between her and the father-in-law!

She was addled and began to flashback to imagine the kind of absurd behaviour that her adder-Junior Boy must have displayed that totally upset the heart of Segun’s father who had seen and got exposed to vast incidents in life.

 What could have got the elderly man shiver like a chick that enters the rain?

The way the billionaire confronted her when she reached the house few hours ago were still embarrassing. The allegations coupled with the lengthy discussion that prevailed thereafter.

‘’A kid could be funny’’ Yetunde concluded.

Junior could be naught! She frowns at the boy.

She had a pathological hatred for the boy as well.

‘’Will this outrageous child not spoil my life’’ The woman asked herself without any answer.

To be candid, Yetunde was bitterly displeased with the passive boy but remained calm while driving on because she was about to join the Lagos–Ibadan express way at the Ojoo end.

The gadfly will soon rest for a while.

‘’No problem…heaven cannot fall…come hell or high water, let us wait and see what will happen… life must continue as written’’ Yetunde ponder within herself

 ‘’No animal can be bold enough to chase lion out of the forest…Who exactly will be the architect of my troubles in this city?’’

Madam Yetunde, the mother of Junior bluntly and frankly uttered loudly as she steadily moved the four-runner jeep off the Express-way to join the last street leading to their residence within the G.R.A [ Government Reservation Area] not too far away from the Senator Adewolu Ladoja circular road under construction.

 A few metres away from the T-Junction; the ride was so smooth and pleasurable. The road was not busy unlike other days. Junior dosed off with sound sleep at the back seat snoring like Segun his father when on bed. He enjoyed the drive undoubtedly.

With the andante inspiring Gospel Music of Tope Alabi solemnly aired at the background. It created a thrill and super excitement:

‘’We own the world…we can rewrite the story again!’’

Yetunde was almost carried away. She was nearly lost in thoughts.

While trying to wake Junior up from the slumbering; Yetunde heard an alert-tone from her latest imported trendy iphone. In alacrity, she quickly checked the awaited messages to read with surprise!

Wahoo! Yetunde could not believe what she saw. It was like a dream. The huge amount of money dropped inside her bank account was beyond imagination.

‘’Do I really worth it?

#100 million Naira cash dash again from the generous billionaire of note.

 ‘’A token compensation for your keeping the sealed secret intact ’’

With the cash dash, the possibility of the Okro tree growing taller than the owner cannot be ruled out.

Indeed, big fortune arrived at last for Yetunde, woman of destiny before reaching home as promised by the care free money bag politician. Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan has proved himself…it’s well indeed!

Without any further delay, grandpa was about to shower cash rebate again. The comfortable billionaire went promptly inside his luminous bed room highly elevated and greatly inspired.

He picked the phone immediately and made an instant cash transfer of #100 million Naira! [ One hundred million Naira] to Yetunde’s GTBank Account with a short message:

‘’A token for keeping the sealed secret intact, you deserved the compensation’’ it’s well!

One Man’s victory another man’s loss!

Life is usually in two sides like that of a coin. The victory of a man will definitely result into the loss of another fellow. That is life for you. The stages are of two types, the winning stage and the losing stage.

You have to belong to a stage at a moment.

One man’s victory another man’s loss. The joy of victory, the anguish of loss and the reciprocal relationship between the duo.

A victor is one who wins gallantly in a contest of life and a loser is the one who losses or was won or defeated in a life content. Every human being is fighting a battle to win or loss! It pays to win and very painful to be a loser!

As we all know that, the one who wins will usually enter into the ecstasy and pregnancy of joy, while the loser will invariably go about some hideouts covering his or her identity in the grab of ignominy!

But if I may asked: ‘’ what concerns the Muslim clergy about the fat legs of the butchered dog?

In his worries, Madam Yetunde read out this Poem:

The Child

The Child I am raises to question,

What motherhood is all about?

Why the innocent young bear the mark of rejection.

And the reason why l am thrown out.

The child l am seeks to know,

The purpose of my being.

The history of long ago.

And the mystery of blood into being.

The child l am seeks to know

Why there is much hate in the world.

Why blood hate blood.

Within the confines of human knowledge,

 My life is walled, my vision blurred.

For being ingénue, it is iniquitous to partake,

In the sin of human.

What is my offence? I ask.

But no answer lies with man only

But a still voice inside of me whispers

Challenge! Challenge!

For unto my innermost heart the word pierces.

And for once has woken me to the path of challenge.

The many wickedness and injustice that I see,

I am from such things relieved.

For with challenge I can swim the great sea.

And with it l conquer, because I have believed!

Chapter 21.

 Heavens Refused to fall

Could this be really.. How come this much?

Several probing questions came out of her mind to express the greatest soak that arrived earlier than expected. It took her a while to confirm the reality of the message read. No doubt…no fear again!

Despite the hidden secret, Yetunde never disclosed what went between herself and Segun’s father to anybody living or dead. The single act of making the sealed secret intact earned her a deserved gift of 100million Naira from the generous billionaire sugar daddy!

 Yetunde became so lucky enough to become an instant millionaire with One hundred million naira [#100million naira] credit transfer from her husband’s father just for keeping the sealed secret intact!

‘’So it paid heavily to keep a sealed secret intact forever?’’

Yetunde imagined and rejoiced. She was highly grateful to the Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan.

She danced merrily with the tumbrels inside the car. She screams and rejoices that God answered her prayers. The reality and realisation of His goodness was made manifest boldly. It became so glaring now that Yetunde arrived finally at the City of Wealth and Influence!

Tears of joy stream down from her face like a sheep that walked beside the quiet streams and not stumble. She sang the songs of joy and happiness for the radiant of God’s favour and goodness that landed for her from The Billionaire.

 Instantly, her life became like a watered garden!

‘’ No heavens can fall again’’ Yetunde repeatedly exclaimed adamantly.

Yes, a lackey of the billionaire politician landed safely. With the cool millions inside her bank account already, Yetunde felt on top of the world, and more desperate immediately to get rid of Segun…the only cog in the wheel for now!

She was planned digging her way out of the cages fast as the only best option!

 Improper Segun, the father of Junior was her main headache for the moment like financial black holes.

The deal is done again for the orphan girl turned millionaire after several ordeals of life. Indeed, before yam could be turned to pounded yam, several poundings took place with the pestle inside the mortal.

 No success status is ease to attain in this world any longer. Yetunde began several self meditation that involved concrete thoughts and deeper feelings. The route to the city of success and wealth is long and wingding; only the courageous can endure it.

This is a good world to experience and enjoyed…The Ekiti-born woman ascertained. Whatever be the outcome will definitely be a cross to bear in fate without hassles.

 Nothing goes for anything. A hunter that enters the bush and failed to bring home animal will not eat a delicious soup from the wife that day.

‘’ If you find a foolish man’s footprint and you failed to scoop it up to make your voodoo, when do you think you will find that of a wise man?’’

Yetunde pondered within her minds. The taken hot and well grinded pounded yam eaten at her father-in-laws house was yet to digest.

One good turn definitely deserved another.

 ‘’Look, if you have relationship with the rich and your life remained the same. You have to check it fast critically.

May be you are under a curse or that your wealthy bosom friend is a chronic miser to keep the distance from. The choice remained yours. Either You wallop in the killing-poverty at stake, or quit for the best alternative ‘’

– A food for thought from Yetunde.

The world is big enough to parade or exhibit love in any desired way. The cloth of love put on as pullover by a virtuous woman can be easily removed with money than the displayed of poverty or lacks! Indeed, water can quench fire faster than wind!! Money is sweeter than fame!!

No toad will stay too long in a very hot spot. What is the essence of love without the adequate substances needed to sustain the affairs?

In actuality, the vast mansion of the devil is located at the last bus-stop next to the lake of fire!

Money will always be the best defender for the desperately hustle-woman in the city of love anytime.

In the past, music was the food of love to taste, eat and digest. But today, money have take the league and won the big trophy.

‘’No Money, No Love’’ is the new song by The Toad inside the stream!

Two lines crossed each other. They aged-politician was thirsty and crying for love, the pretty Yetunde is clamouring for money. Which is which?

Can there be the true love again without the influence of dollars?

The root of all sins was about to be uprooted. Who will be around really to witness the downfall of the big Iroko-tree that is about to be cut-off by the batch of termites?

The remains will be for the vagabonds to witness and wrestle with!

Everything that will become of a man tomorrow is solely in the hand of destiny. Only God can predict precisely how the future will be no matter or whatever may be the present experience!

All these awful-thoughts occupied the mind of Yetunde-the brand-new multi-millionaire as she pleasurably drove the latest edition

The black Highlander Jeep bought for her as birthday gift by her billionaire father-in-law recently.

The trade of love and the nice trends was taking another dimension on daily basis unchecked! The great excitement of being a millionaire got her highly lifted!

It was time to reach the house at last; Yetunde drove the vehicle of her choice to a halt joyfully! She stepped out rejoicing with Junior. What an unimagined automatic elevation in life?  What a miracle for big testimony. However, Yetunde kept everything in her heart.

She was happy to repatriate her son back home from the grandparents of Segun at last and they are able to reach the house in peace.

Yetunde, the woman of substance and native wisdom comforted herself without any exhibition or announcement as she took Junior inside the house and met her well-fed husband waiting patiently at the lavished sitting room for their returned.

Chapter 22.

 The Erotic Evening with Soul Mates

Segun remember what his politician father used to say:

‘’You do not stone back a mad person who hit you with a sharp stone. If you do you are not better than him. You are equally mad’’

On sighting his wife, the arouse Segun gave Yetunde a super welcome kiss. He snapped Junior from her and whispers something to his wife immediately. The boy was taken inside the bedroom to continue his sleep instead of stumbling.

Earlier, because of desire for sex and libido production, he eats heart-healthy and antioxidant-rich foods like sawa fish, onions, dandelion leaves, beans and legumes that help to provide for smooth unforgettable thrusting in and out.

Segun amorously locked the keys to the entrance door, changed the white-light at the sitting room to blue. A plan was in the coffin about to be revealed. There was no ambient light to disturb them from the romantic fore-play.

He read these lovely erotic expressions to her babe:

‘’ Apple of Love ’’

Let’s eat together of the apple of Love. A taste of pudding sweetens the palate;

Let music, lots of it feed our Love, and sweet kisses and warm embraces, its perfume be;

That sweet balm that sooth the dull ache in our chests’

Let’s sleep together and dream of romance and desires and for now.

Let our tomorrow melt into nothingness as clouds mount;

And the world,… whirl…

 Round, Round; On, and On!’’

Undoubtedly, Segun was desperately hungry for the food of love with no fading taste at that moment. Yetunde sound in mind and body; got the message accurately and decoded it appropriately. She off her amulet and the high hill-shoes immediately; threw the min-gown on the floor. She became naked without any underwear on her. A whirlwind romance started in earnest by the couples that evening!

 At the sight of Yetunde’s graciously endowed sex organs, her erect nipples, standing breasts well pronounced for even the blind to feel and see. Her smooth flesh was healthy as a little child’s.

The gallant Segun got sparked; he started breathing furiously like a racing dog thirsty to link water. He walked to the pretty queen and embraced her pleasantly. He planted a dreamy kiss on her neck which she responded to with alacrity. Yetunde was a very amorous and romantic woman with starry-eyed.

The husband grabbled and held her lovely tight and demanded:

‘’Come to bed with me, my darling!’’

  They began to kiss, sucking each other’s lips recklessly. She moaned as Segun’s tongue hovered around her lips to the neck and then to her succulent dangling full breasts. The two lover-ants were carried away in the fantasy of love.

Thereafter, Yetunde spread her fatty, smooth, fresh lapses wide-open on the centre-table for the speedy entrance of the natural rocky solid rod of Segun. The penetration was hot, sweet and smooth ever inside the naturally lubricated vagina!

The agile Segun descended on her and entered the wet inner room raw and deeply. She fluttered her eye lashes at him. They twist and tango with a scream to the rhythm!

 It was another game entirely that evening. The best food of love got served on the floor. The romantic game lasted for hours without any disturbance.

Like heaven-sent, it began to rain heavily outside. Yetunde blocked her ears to the taunting of the garrulous rain. She cheered and jeered as Segun lustfully but tactlessly tackled the soup of love in grand style that night till day break. They also had a raw sexual bath.

It was rolls of fantastic bites with different styles and funky versions exploded. When the woman got aroused or experienced orgasm, she sometimes laughs or cries uncontrollably.

The dream and reality of becoming a multi-millionaire kept ringing inside Yetunde’s mind while dancing to the rhythm of love at play. All along, Yetunde kept remaining herself:

The Secret is sealed: heavens cannot fall again’’. In the sexual fantasy, that was uniquely strange.

Love like the law, are asses sometimes. Only God can shield light to the hidden secret!

Segun eroticized and enjoyed Yetunde that night as never before. ‘’ I found a diamond’’ He uttered afterglow.

That was one of the reasons while he delayed ejaculation but remained fused unlike in the past with less capacity to perform. He thought his hale performance on healthy Yetunde; a fat corpulent woman of taste like honey was ground breaking. It was all glee throughout the night.

The excitements and rhythms were too much to hold or let go like that. They were glued together like magnet. No stopping, no dull moment. It was like an Oliver Twist asking for more and more!

‘’ The taste of the pudding is always in the eating!’’

Yetunde fancy her husband’s top gear actions on her. She enjoyed it enormously.

 Yes, sex in a marriage relationship, when it’s good, can be amazing! It was awesome. At brink of the sexual intimacy that had huge impact; the woman expressed her satisfaction:

‘’Dear, your performance was fantastic’’ voiced Yetunde as they concluded the seventh round on the kitchen cabinet. They both enormously enjoyed themselves to the uttermost. Everyone was glad and elevated.

At that night game, Segun felt great and praises her wife with these words:

‘’ There are many fine women and mothers in the world; but you are the best of them

 All’’

  After the strenuous, intense sexual activity between the two amicable couples that night with different kinds of styles; Tomorrow is another day!

No matter how delayed the night may be, the sun will rise at the day-break. No matter how sweet the music of love may sound; the record will fade-off at last.

No experience is made to last for life but for a while!

Indeed, the reunion of the two lovers cannot be captured enough. It was awesome moment while it last.

Unknown to Segun, someone else have had a taste of the pretty wife. How he wished to have got a glue of that earlier. This is our world where many secrets are hidden and unknown!

Chapter 24.

A Decade of Wedlock Revived

On a best case scenario, the love affairs between Segun and Yetunde was under review since the wedlock was becoming of age. In few months now, the meeting together of Segun and pretty Yetunde was almost ten years ago.

The 10^th year wedding anniversary will hold in about three months’ time by the special grace of God. No day is a waste in the journey of marriage. It takes a lot of things for two people from different backgrounds to come together as husband and wife in the marriage journey of uncertainty and stay with each other day and night, come rain or sun shine for ten years clocking without separation or divorce.

It takes the grace to remain in the lock of love. The bad news of couples breaking away few days after wedding became a subject of concern to those who cares or bother.

As it has been, destiny is at work. The binding love seal of Segun with Yetunde remained intact and settled. The devil or third party never had cause to dismantle the union of lovers of destiny. If that be the case, the need for special wedding anniversary could be a welcome idea. After all, the death that kills ones mate is clearly a warning sign or signal.

Really, in couple’s life different things happen daily as life continues. Life a big book when you open a fresh chapter, definitely some pages will follow. One after the other until you reached the last page or the end of the book. Every story have an end like a film watched at the cinema house in those days.

‘’The pounded yam preserved over twenty years can still be hot when tasted’’ says a Yoruba adage.

From a broad life experience, nothing done in the past wrongly can be gone forever. We all make mistakes; but some mistakes could be disastrous. The law of karma is usually operational in life. It is referred to as the principle of sowing and reaping. That is the more reason why is better and preferable to do well than evil.

As tongues continued to wag, there will always be a return march to be played unexpectedly. Therefore, the team-players must be fully prepared and ready all the time. But when will the referee blow the whistle for the kick-off?

In fact, the match may not be over yet and nobody should jubilate until the final whistle is heard or blown. It is not yet over until it is over.

The valiant sealed love between Segun and Yetunde like an opening glee few years ago will clock ten solid years in few months’ time.

Providentially, the journey was full of ups and downs; pleasant and unpleasant all mixed together. They both began the journey of love relationship that got them hooked together as couples eventually.

The marriage was fruitful and blessed with a sharp boy that became the glory and pride of the family. Although, all efforts to have an additional child over the years remained abortive for now.

Hopefully, one day in the nearest future, the door would open for the entrance of a new baby. The couples remained hopeful as faithful and devoted Christians who believed ‘’With God all things are possible’’ And, ‘’It is never over until it is over!’’

It takes a sick person to discover that the period of time between the night and the day break is a bit longer than imagined. Equally, for the love affairs between Segun and Yetunde to be of age worth the evaluation with celebrations. It was like yesterday. Just like a dream or child-play, Yetunde became the wife of Segun. The Prince got hooked to the Queen outside the palace!

In a relaxed mood, the couples were staying together inside the waiting room of the Innocent Villa. A breeze of peace blew inside through the opened window as Yetunde drew the curtain aside. ‘’ Yes, it is fresh air from nature’’

Yetunde expressed her profound appreciation for the breath of life without obtrude.

‘’ Looking back, I never knew I could go this far despite all odds!’’

The woman said in evaluating the marriage contract between herself and Segun.

‘’ Our togetherness contained very inspiring, uplifting and amazing blessings! Really, God should be praised ‘’

Segun peeping in.

‘’After all, there are people who spend much time planning for the proverbial rainy day that they never enjoyed the sunshine! But in our own case as couples, we are so favored’’ 

Segun made a further expression in appreciation of what the Lord had done for the family.

Instantly, Yetunde jumped up and began to shout very rousing ‘’ Halleluyah ‘’ for twenty one times. It filled up the mansion.

‘’ The genesis of our journey was like yesterday when we started jokingly’’-

Yetunde recalled. She cast her mind back to the day they started dating.

‘’In few months, our wedding shall reach a decade of pleasant experiences. I thank God for you being my jewel with alloyed loyalty’’ – Segun said and pat Yetunde at the back.

‘’ You are my real love…my life remains empty without You’’

Yetunde told Segun and they held themselves together with supplication to the invisible God that worked it out for them as couples. ‘’If not for you, I would have being a caricature by now!’’

‘’Definitely, the tenth year wedding anniversary will be activated and celebrated with a bang by the grace of God’’

Segun, the husband of madam Yetunde made the promise.

‘’ I trust you my love. You will always stand by your words!’’ ‘’ That’s one of the reasons why you’re special amidst the men in the world’’-Yetunde propagates with joy and gave romantic kiss at Segun’s check.

‘ I must confess you brought so much to our game of love by virtue of using the talent given you by God.’’

Yetunde explained further.

‘’Let me you laugh and relaxed a bit’’ Segun said and sat his wife on a lighter mood.

Segun began a joke saying:

‘’ A man is walking down the street one day when a bum comes up to him and asked for a dollar donation. Being in a generous mood, the man pulls out a ten-dollar bill.

Meanwhile, as he hands it to the bum as a give-away.  He says ‘’you are not going to use this or booze or drinks are you?’’

‘’ I never drink’’ replied the bum solemnly. The man was greatly surprise for the unexpected reply heard from the bum.

‘’ I hope you’re not going to use it for gambling’’ says the noble man  who watched the bum twice for the unusual utterances.

‘’ I never gamble in my life despite my condition’’ Gambling is meant for those aiming at fake life!’’ says the bum in addition.

‘’Says’’ says the cheerful and generous giver on a lighter mood, would you mind coming home with me? ‘’

‘’ I would really like for my wife to meet you today!’’

‘’Me’’ and ‘’ how come’’ says the surprised bum

‘’ Why me?’’

‘’ Well’’, the humble giver man explains.

‘’ I would like to show my beloved petty wife what happens to a man who never drinks or gambles’’

‘’Ah, you are too funny’’ What a super brimming joke presented by a Joker!

And they both laughed it off.

The real life we experience every day is tough and full of hardships. And sometimes it is made even together by misfortunes and failures. Misfortunes could be in form of accident, disappointment or even death. At other times, we are distressed by lack of fast progress or delay in success arrival or our endeavors or upset by a friend or lover.

Even when life is not complicated by any of these difficulties, it’s sufficiently tough to make us seek some means of escape and relief.

Initially, both Segun and Yetunde as couples living together for almost a decade dreamt of having a boy and a girl to rear in life as parents so as to strike a balance. In this world of reality, there are only two types of children: male or female child; either a boy or a girl. Anything sort of that is outright out of sense.

In the case of Segun with Yetunde, they had only a boy already. They are still looking forward and praying for the second child, hoping that such an expectation if granted as wished could be a female child so as to have a balance experience of being blessed with the both sex.

As seen, several years have passed when Yetunde gave birth to Junior, the only son ever that the couples can claimed to be blessed with as husband and wife. No tracing of any other child since. Yetunde was unable to get another pregnant talk less of giving birth to a child thereafter. The issue was like a cross of fate to the couples despite.

Yes, life is like that sometimes. A man may proposed a good agenda, dream or solid plan. The realization of such is solely in the hand of God that approves and made things to be.

Aside from the glaring issue of having only a child since all these years, the family does not nurse any other hassles of life really. The couples had a good time together. Success was on their side. They were financially well to do and progressive in various dimensions. Yetunde had built a business empire for herself as a dynamic business woman and a celebrity. She owns popular ‘’WebCash Mall’’ building located at Ring road side of Ibadan and some other feats of achievements to be proud of and thank God for as well.

Likewise, Segun got qualified as a chartered Accountant [ACA] within the period. Although, the rich also cries but not with open mouth like the poor man that suffers in poverty with cash crush experiences. In most cases, the rich cry in silence! One is better and more preferable.

Indeed, life like a little tales with a gentle twist. The only son in the family named after his father Segun but popularly called ’’Junior’’ was a token of happiness and glory to the couples. What a keepsake with crowned honor.

Without measures, Segun loved Yetunde like a pet in his heart. He never for a day quailed with her on any issues. They both understand themselves as lovers and couples. Segun do make himself available when the need for such arises despite his tight schedules as an accountant with repute and demands.

Really, they may have some different traits or virtues. But with understanding and maturity, they were coping and sailing on as couples. Even the twins born together in the same day do behave differently.

‘’ As couples, we have to manage ourselves to move forward and make progress’’

Segun do explain to his wife at any time she made a complaint on their differences or her dislikes in Segun’s life or acts. He brought his wealth of experience to bear. A woman would always behave like a woman no matter the age or status. 

As at the moment, nothing to bother about. No need for any therapeutic in the marriage of Segun with Yetunde. Complacently, the love seal is strong and unbroken. The love is rekindled and burning as expected for now!

Indeed, the glue of love that bond Yetunde with Segun remained strong and strange to tear or break easily. The traitors and the Amebos with the agents of the devil have not spotted any hole or any perforation through the wall of their love palace to detect a rumor for destruction or wreck.  When the wall of a house is without any crack, it will be extremely difficult for any agama lizard to make a penetration.

Notwithstanding, the couples love each other. The affections between them was strong and well pronounced. Undoubtedly, the marriage of Segun with Yetunde witness the divine favor of the invisible God among the rest with exceeding grace in this dispensation of broken homes and divorce.

For the ten years running, the couples were partners in progress. Segun was very supportive and never envy her wife’s business progress for a moment as a celebrity woman with substances and virtues.

As a good husband, Segun was always behind his wife’s actions and adventures. Anytime she was away for business trips or other engagements of demand within or outside the country. Segun usually hold forth to ensure that nothing of Yetunde left behind suffers any care or supervision including the welfare of Junior, the only beloved son of the family around.

To elicit, Segun as a responsible husband never did anything harmful intentionally that can result into crisis or hassles. As couples, they coupled and tolerate each other for almost a decade. The red boat of love was having a nice and smooth sailing experience inside the blue ocean of live without any shark or quail of hindrances. The couple white garment of wedlock was clean, stainless and spotless. No Blame, No Shame!

‘’Indeed, winners never do different things, instead, they only do things differently!‘’

In the society where marriage disaster is rampant with celebrities, despite, Yetunde was able to keep intact the contract with sealed up.  No room for propaganda or the vile of stinking skulls or hearth odors’.

Along the line, Yetunde raised the beautiful song of Yinka Ayefele to regale! ‘’ He made me to forget, the sorrowful experience of the past’’

Both Segun and Yetunde danced happily to the music. After all, the sarcasm sorrowful past hassles are gone, it is something else. The bitterness of the past years have gone into the lagoon of the past. By gone is by gone forever. No more room for any bitterness. The good God of mercy have turned all the bitterness of yesterday into fresh happiness of a new day entirely.

Without missing words, it calls for a big celebration and jubilation with a bang! Therefore, the world would definitely witnessed another glamour that will mark the in-coming Tenth Year Wedding Anniversary of Segun and Yetunde.

‘’ Globally, I will let them know for sure that our wedding is a product of Destiny indeed’’ ‘’ How cool is that? ‘’

Segun boldly announced.

‘’Wow, Experience the blues of the moment!’’

Yetunde murmured

 ‘’ Oh Yes, our bonds heavenly approved and sustained forever…No dispute, no controversy. Everything works out for the best!’’

 Segun responded instantly.

‘’ The ardent love that we have for each other took us so far’’ Yetunde declared in pleasant tones.

‘’This is part of the awesome perks of being lovers’’ Segun mentioned as the both continued to sing and danced round the glass-made center table for a while in joyous mood.

They couples were highly happy, proud and extremely grateful to be together for a while. Yetunde took with her the framed picture of both of them hanged on the wall, kissed it and danced joyfully along. It was arousing and highly compelling as well.

‘’I remained yours for the days’’ –Segun said again and again.

‘’ What God have joined together, let no man put asunder’’ – the bonfire declared loudly and rushed after his wife that danced majestically, in romantic postures into the bedroom for a subtle sealed up game!

‘’ Be assured Yetunde, my love for you is novel and never outdated and dreary’’

Segun broadcast into her ear.

After all, one good turn deserved another indeed. Before it time to serve people our wedding anniversary cake, let’s serve the love now, now! Segun declared to Yetunde right inside the bedroom.

Only God can tell for how long the game lasted inevitably! 

Chapter 24.

 A fresh Millionaire in New Life

‘’ Thank God, Is another Monday Again! ‘’

Yetunde exclaimed in gratitude to the Almighty Allah for sparing her life to witness another beautiful business occurrence.

Naturally, it was a new day to start afresh, business for the week. The struggles for survival began in harness as usual. Madam Yetunde was able to maturely handle her novel financial status. She had a distinctive record of business management with good mastery of financial matters. She was brooding over her status as brand new multi-millionaire spontaneously.

 Really, one can be rich without any unnecessary glamour or declaration that does attract the odds of life. It is a matter of maturity and prudent approach. Ego blowing could be a form of insanity.

The beginning of so many peoples’ problem or hardship in the social order could be traced to wanting others to identify their status.

 ‘’Who will chase me about with the gun in the society?

 ‘’Or Get me kidnapped for a ransom?’’

‘’ When they don’t smell the odour of millions on my body or in my appearance? ’’

-Yetunde thought aloud!

When a child makes strange fortunes everywhere will be noisy for the world to share with mercilessly; but a prudent individual will not boost of anything!

 Money does not have relative or generation. If you make it, be wise; if not, the money like a bird will grow wings and fly away.

Unknown to Segun the husband, Yetunde has made one hundred millionaires for herself in less than eighteen hours ago. The mother of Junior kept the good news of millions cash achievement mute and sealed for reasons.

The beautiful queen of fashions merchant did not disclosed anything to Segun her beloved husband and housemate despite their closeness. But if critically observed, it was clear from her mien that she was pleased with life beyond ordinary. The visibility of a young and lovely millionaire entrepreneur was boldly seen from that moment.

It is awesome really! God have answered her prayers invariably. She was experiencing a better life as a woman of substance! Yetunde was highly elevated and lifted above all fantasy. Singular encounters with Segun’s father totally changed her eminence from poverty to richness and wealth. At last, she became transformed.

‘’Surely, the churning of milk bringeth fort butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife’’ says in Proverbs 30:33

The final escape from the viscous bondage of poverty arrived for Yetunde by the grace of God. She had all causes to be grateful to the creator and rejoice. She hopes to name her next child ‘’Rejoice’’ or ‘’Goodness of God’’ if possible.

Like restored fortunes, Yetunde was fully ready to face her life and business squarely more than before. She wanted to make the roadmap and suitable blue print that will make her generation never smell paucity again for life.

 The unique opportunity for such proposal was been given with the one hundred million naira parting gift in her custody. She needs to promptly seize the chance.

What is worth doing at all is worth doing well!

With good wealth Insights, the foundation of fortunes could be created from little cash. Yetunde, in one of her consultations with University of Ilorin authority informed them on how University of Ibadan invested a sum of twenty five thousand naira to purchase shares in a multi-national company years back, and the value today worth over One hundred and fifty billion.

 Definitely, Yetunde’s brain was task and sparked for rightful investments search immediately.

According to the history of wealth, if Aliko Dangote could become the richest man in African merely thirty year of a loan support of five hundred thousand naira from Dantata his uncle. Then 100million Naira is more than enough to make a new story in life.

Also, If Senator Jimoh Ibrahim could be a comfortable billionaire of note from mere seventy million naira realised from organising seminars for the local governments in Nigeria during NYSC [National Youth Service Scheme] after his graduation from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife in Osun Sate, then the One hundred millionaire is a big ticket to serve as the springboard for lasting wealth heritage that will become global and be suitable for decades and generations. Yetunde had these thoughts and she wanted to make the next history in the hall of fame like her business mentors.

Madam Yetunde had a great dream for a better future with lasting and enduring wealth to enjoy with.

These days, ‘’enough is Not enough Again!’’ because the turn of events do occur without any notice. Anything can happen unexpectedly in life. Change is Inevitable!

The Pharaoh that does not know Joseph may ascend the throne in life.

With God, hard, smart work and diligence, success of any magnitude can be made visible under the sun. The heart has the potential for infinite capabilities and possibilities if properly engaged. The Power Of Thinking Money is real!

 Yes, it is Monday, a day recognized traditionally as the day of cash fortune making experience among the Yoruba’s.

It is one of the special days to be managed properly. Being the first day of the week as well, Yetunde was ready to catch-up with time.

 In some business circles, how your Monday went will determine the rest of the week in terms of results.

However, the mother and business woman of substance understand vividly well that Riches can disappear fast. The king’s crown does not stay in his family forever. She made her mind to start watching her business interests closely; despite the busy schedules and volume of tasks involved.

A fool’s compliment is as quickly gone as paper in fire!

The workaholic woman of substance woke up as early as possible to prepare for work.

Madam Yetunde got to the sitting room with her bag and some vital business documents.

‘’Good business resolutions are like babies crying in church. They should be carried out immediately’’ Yetunde thought for a moment.

 She was about leaving the house for her business outfit located at Ring Road side of Ibadan. She was hale, happy and artful. She dressed elegantly. She looked fresh and gorgeous in appearance that Monday morning. With The Eye that Talk; The Head that Speaks!

Madam Yetunde, the CEO of Good Destiny Concepts Limited; was in gorgeous, blue guinea brocade blouse and wrapper with a flowery headgear to match. The blue purple and scarlet cloth made of fine-twined linen of goat’s hair. The chest piece was a beautiful intricate garment made from the finest gold and scarlet linen. The day looked so special and well admired with her simply sparkled, dazzling, spectacular manifestation.

The outfit was one of her best business attires! She met many hearts with the stunning dress. She was indeed extremely eye-catching, dramatic and superbly attractive in the striking stuff.

She felt on the top of the world as a brand new multi-millionaire yet to be announced to the masses.

On sighting his wife, the care-free Segun’s brain got sparked! He almost wanted her for a fast fresh early rise romantic play like they did the other time.

Haba, Segun did not see the first day of the week for something more serious than making love with the woman. He shrinks from facing up with the existing facts and figures on ground.

‘’Anyway, You can’t have the fruits of something you’re not. An orange tree can only produce orange fruits….Drowsiness will cloth a man with rags!....the more individuals follow dehumanizing mentality, the more they lose sense of others, humanity, feelings and worth! ’’

 Yetunde thought within herself.

Strangely, Segun would be taken for complete gentle man of mild manners who could hardly hurt a fly, and in whose mouth butter would not met. But when making love, he behaves like a horse that is never tired of the race.

To the business woman of understanding, the Iroko tree that we should have jointly hewn at infancy has almost grown beyond containment.

Chapter 25.

 Different Strokes! Different Directions

Yetunde was amused. The agile woman had another serious new agenda already and the very damn thing must be done on time.

Regrettably!Can you imagine?  The son of Ibadan billionaire who got it wrong on Monday morning! Yetunde instead appeared half-hearted to the silly demand from her unserious husband who failed to identify what next. Forgetting that time and tides waits for nobody in particular. Yetunde frowned at Segun’s lukewarm and the non-charlatan attitude.

 Both Segun and Yetunde could be regarded as husband and wife living together under the same roof.  At the moment, they are no longer operating at the same frequencies. They were at logger heads.

Yetunde at that period saw Segun as queer with antics. Their thoughts and feelings went apart already. Yetunde was only tolerating him all the while.

The deplorable situation could be likening to the story of a woman crying bitterly for not having assiduous husband; while the child is crying for not having food to eat at the same time. What a great contradiction and vastly different perspective to life!

At this juncture, both Yetunde and Segun had a very complex relationship-warm and cold at the same time like the Ikogusi River in Ekiti state of Nigeria. It was invidious and flagrant immanent contradictions.

Really, sweet and bitter water don’t emanate from the same fountain! The truth is consistent in life!

 As realized by Yetunde. Segun, the father of Junior remained as cinders in the eyes of Madam Yetunde and sharp thorns at her body sides. At that moment, Segun to her was parches, frothiness, unrestrained and undependable as foamy water.

In fact, what is the point of having beautiful things when people do not even know the value of such things?

Sometimes, Segun, the father of Junior often reasoned like a street urchin when he ought to bring his education to bear on matters. The difference between Segun and Yetunde was getting wider and wider on daily basis. It was clear and glaring; but unnoticed by the blindfolded husband dwelling in the past and failed to face the reality of life fast and better.

‘’Well, hopefully he would readjust himself during his annual leave period anyway; and if not, it remains his sole-cup of tea to drink to maximum satisfaction’’ Yetunde accessing her husband critically all inside her mind.

 Obviously, Madam Yetunde meant business with the turn of events at present. She did not care to hoots nor prepared for any hazards ahead. After all, millions of naira has arrived for the Ekiti-woman; the only pain in the arse of love for her was Segun.

‘’Hold it Dear, I’II soon come back home to serve you better as usual’’ Yetunde heck and told Segun as they departed with heart-to-heart romantic kiss.

Without any further delay, the pretty Yetunde left home to plan her new phrase of life leaving behind Segun and Junior to enjoy the rest of the day together.

She understood well that: ‘’ Poor People get paid based on Time while Rich People get paid based on Result’’

Madam Yetunde who hails from Ekiti meant business this time around and she was ready to give it what it demands without given room for any nonentity attitude from any quarters.

She realised that:

‘’ In business, as in life, what is worth doing at all is worth doing well and quickly. Time and tides waits for nobody. Speed is one of the great themes of our time, and the big lesson is that you’re like a sail boat. Unless you’re moving faster as the water is moving faster every day. Your competitors global, real-time information about virtually everything that affects your business, and they act on it quickly’’

That’s was the kind of business world where the noble CEO of Destiny Concepts Limited operates. She wanted her employers to deal with the ever increasing speed and pressures. Therefore, she has to leave her husband behind to continue day dreaming about the real life.

‘’ The main reason CEO’s fail is not mistakes in strategy or finance but the simple inability of the executives to get done what they wanted to get done’’-

Grumbles Yetunde as she pondered on her next business moves and plans for the day!

Madam Yetunde got out of the ‘’The Innocent Villa’’ a lavishly white house with distinction. She entered her well washed and polished gleaming black Toyota Highlander bullet-proof Jeep!

All around her were radiating full joy, satisfaction and happiness. Her state of mind was pleasantly full of goodies. God have been so good to her. She never thought it will be in that satire.

No doubt about that, Yetunde was extremely grateful to God that spared her life to taste and witness a new experience in life despite the poor background.

It is God indeed that makes the poor to dine and reign with the kings. All glories to His Holy name!

Equally, she showered heartfelt deep prayers to her father-in-law and the secret benefactor. The Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan, the father of the dark-skinned Segun!

‘’ So I could be this lucky in life as an orphan’’ Yetunde confessed from the depth of her heart with tears of Joy rolling from the eyes.

‘’My prayers are answered without any preservation’’

The rich wife boomed radiantly as she danced to the popular song:

‘’We are the World; we are the People!’’

In the light of this glaring reality, Yetunde stepped into another ream of life starting from that Monday with One Hundred Millionaire Naira coolly settled inside her GTBank Savings Account intact, sealed and reconfirmed! She saw the figures on her phone again and again. The latest Alert Money Miracle that may be hard to believe. Yetunde got it on the platter of Gold!

She was overwhelmed with joy. She thanked God that perambulates her life for the goodies and her divine perfectly healthy body like a birthright. Really, she recognised and appreciated the goodness, blessings, kindness and mercy of God.

‘’Oh Lord, I know it’s you who did all these beautiful things’’

The ecstasy that occupied Yetunde’s heart was without measure. She was highly delighted and strengthened in the new world.

She almost got herself mad of the excitements created. She began to brain-storm how to butch it into varieties of versatile life time investments.

To her, life’s adversities and happenings are the opportunities for a person’s greatness to be tested and manifested. Yetunde had the same consciousness that:

‘’ Your Business is what you do with your money. Money is good. Money is a blessing too! Money alleviates pains, sufferings and starvation.

 A lasting wealth requires a well planned investment. May your efforts to earn an abundance of it be crowned with success!’’

-Yetunde remained herself before stepping out of The Innocent Villa.

She makes her mind to give God the tenth percent of the whole amount. One of the strangest money making secrets that she read about inside the bestseller title: ‘’The Tenth Wealth ‘’written by Dr. Oyedotun Oyejide!

Indeed, this world is beautiful; Money can make life fine!

As the Jeep car was about to leave the premises, Junior came out of the house to see her mother off with waves of hand:

 ‘’Bye..Bye…My Mummy!’’

‘’Oh dear, I’II soon be back…have a nice day

Don’t trouble your father…I will buy you snacks and ice cream!’’

Yetunde responded to her son as she drove off in top speed to wrestle with the early Monday morning traffic-holdup.

She speeds off with the racing horse car happily. She headed towards Sango-Mokola road to by-pass the heavy traffic at the Oojo Express way end.

While Yetunde was driving pleasurably on the high way to her office on that day, she took and read the review of the newly published book titled: Discovering Hidden Wealth:

Chapter 26.

 Time For Sober Reflection And Stock Taking

The dark complexion Segun, the father of Junior began his long over-due annual leave eventually. He stayed behind with the son who is also on holidays and just returned from the grandparent’s house where he spent just few days.

The mother, Yetunde have left for her business outfit at Ring road.

Segun planned his leave that way for reasons. It will give him the ample chance of overseeing his son’s welfare while sorting things out with the family. Also, he needed a rest because of the stress encountered in his place of work due to tedious tasks and busy schedules.

The father was not pleased with his personal life that looks disorganised. He desired a positively change of life style physically and spiritually.

In addition, Segun realised that age is no longer on his size again. The lasted birthday was September 4, this year when he clocked 45! The lad is over forty years already. A fool at forty is a fool forever!

In order not to end up being a fool, Segun must do something reflective about his life. Nothing happens without an Action!

The best time to make hay is while the sun shines. To avoid things from getting too late, it became imperative and highly compulsory to do something now.

’’ To Be Something, Do Something!’’

To have a significant headway in life, one needs to be so serious with himself and mean business as much as possible. Those who have stories to tell are faced with dynamic experiences of life. Progress is subject to moving forward positively. If you failed to deal with yourself, you will be dealt with by life in a painful way.

Claiming to be the first born of a billionaire is not too good status to hold unto in the present dispensation. And that he had a nice identity in the society as the offspring of a former Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is just living in the past.

A pharaoh that may not know Joseph will soon reign. It is a dynamic world of changes. Those who failed to catch up with time are often left behind to be recounting and tell old stories of unpleasant experiences. You have what it takes to start a fresh breeze of life.

Leaving in the past glory is not ideal for any right thinking child or a promising lad like big Segun...a Chartered Accountant! Really, nothing happens without an action enforced.

 Segun was not the only son of the Ibadan billionaire. Although, from a well to do family in one love. Yet, he needs to venture for himself and stop depending on the heritage of father who made from business and politics.

All these were realized by Segun. He was ready to rejig himself towards a better future. And no significant achievement can be made in this unique world without making tangible efforts.

‘’Nothing happens without an action enforced’’

‘’To be Something, Do Something’’

‘’If you must do it, then Do it Right’’ -Segun was motivating himself serious!

 He was an ardent reader like is rich father who was deeply rich in books and politics. Those who are readers and are wiser to apply it will also live a better life. This is the secret of the winners!

 The wealth of knowledge in books is too rare for a fool to discover! Information is power anywhere in this universe!

At this annual leave, Segun made up his mind to search for and design the blueprint to follow so as to have a sustainable development.

Yes, Segun began to realise that the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

‘’ The person who risk nothing does nothing and is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrowing but he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live. Chained by his certitudes; he has forfeited his freedom. Only a person who risks is free! ’’

To be candid, the simple and easy going father of Junior was very bent, factual and realistic. He wanted to stop hedonistic life by all means before the end of his annual leave of forty working days that started that Monday morning in harness.

In Ibadan city, where most of the families and relatives of Segun lived were tough austere times for many who are feeling the pressures and the economic squeeze.

As a person with good and solid background, Segun did not join the rest of his kinfolks to merely lament and muse over the terror unleashed on the citizen with the hyper-inflation reigning. Instead, he rose to the challenge.

There was so much gloom and doom that if one is not careful enough, a person can be swallowed up in the negativity of times.

The chartered Accountant felt as a father and husband, he needs to be more responsible. A planned life is a well spent life.

 ‘’The cattle that walked with dog for long will eat faeces eventually’’ says a Yoruba adage!

Segun felt it was high time he took proper stock and review of his behaviours for a better prosperous bearing. He desired a shining life experience. The life of first-born in the family counts a lot. It must be tailored strategically. If not, it will be from good riddance to bad rubbish!

All these facts and plain truth were down on Segun as he searched through some documents while Junior was very busy watching a video.

‘’ Yes, a tree is only strong as its root’’ was the motivational message he read on his phone from one of the popular pastors based in Ibadan that operates prayer program tagged: ‘’ The Turning Point’’

Segun planned attending the next retreat at the prayer mountain with his family. He felt the need for it fast and better. More so that it is not enough to have outward, physical, visible growth. The inner unseen, spiritual or structural growth is more factual and vital for any child of destiny.

 If you don’t have a firm grip of your spirituality, a lot of good things you are naturally entitled to may be far from you!

Segun realised that Samson of the holy bible, a lot of lack of inner depth cut him short. ‘’Root down, fruit up’’ Only depth and deep devotion can sustain a man even in the midst of an ungodly political class! All these thoughts inspired and engaged Segun for a while.

In addition, the husband of Yetunde picked from his mini-library, some set of motivational books to read and digest!

In the main time, Segun began to flash back and began to meditate on some of the instructions and life lessons derived from his beloved and supporting father:

In life, according to notorious, versatile guru of Ibadan politics with great fame and prestige!

 ‘’Only God the most supreme is One’’ and Him alone should be abhor and worship sincerely in life. However, outside of God the most magnificence, there is nothing good for a man to have and processed that should be one or single again. Those who have one thing in most cases end up suffering in life. It only in ‘’One with God ‘’ that you can be the majority!

Therefore my son, if you must have a house, you should not build one but as many houses as possible.

Likewise, if you must engaged in business for financial success or breakthrough; have chains of businesses that will always make you to be relevant no matter what may happy to the economy of our nation. Do not depend on a product to sell no matter the boom for now. Develop and sell variety of products and services. It will make you wiser later in life no matter the pains of the moment. Streams of income only come from many sources!

Life is in variety. Those who make fortunes in the world have many things to claim. You cannot be called a Billionaire if what you have does not worth billionaire in value or number.

Really, you cannot be comfortable millionaire in the society if your income is not in seven digits. Do not depend on one source of income if you do not plan to suffer financially.

Frustration is not far from such an experience. Imagine, a man with a job instantly becomes jobless if sacked from the employment. Several people are in agony of life today simply because of their failure to consider multiple or streams of income.

If you are searching for how to be financially successful or attain financial success in life…do not bother yourself too much; just start having multiple businesses. Use the principles of duplication and leverage. It works like a fire outbreak in the dry season.

Read not one book but many books in your search for information on any matter of importance in life. You will do yourself proud in the process. It will equally make you a reference point for other citizens.

Image the Holy Bible having not one word or one chapter but 66 chapters or 66 books-in-one. Why? No wonder, the Bible remained the bestseller book in the universe ever since!

A man with only a child must pray and beg God very well. If not, God forbids oh! It takes only a strike of the devil to turn the portion of a woman with only a child to become a childless mother.

May you not have a bad experience of life?

Strife hard all times. Do what you can do to relief yourself from the avoidable stress of this world. Yes, no life without a problem; no life is problem free in the actual sense of it. The rich too also cry sometimes!

 But notwithstanding, you can reduce, abstain, or manage your problem. Do not be greedy!

Nothing good for your life that should be One but many!

Have many things including many friends as your asset. Do not fail to share out of your wealth. Only what is shared will not finish! If the stock market is stabled; consider the purchase of shares in bulk or large for a reasonable return. Stop working all the time if you desire a freedom life in the future, but make your money to work for you in so many areas of life.

If you will live longer and not live to suffer, have good and well trained bonfire children that will be yours to claim and not set of vagabonds who will turn against you at old age for fussy reasons. Take good care of your health; your health remains your wealth!

 If possible too, have some tastes of investments in the health sector. The reason for this is that later in life people’s health would be costly to maintain due to the present life style that is without disciple as regards the eating and drinking habit of the majority in the society. Be simple and moderate in your performances. Shorn any act of trying to impressing anybody; you do not need it.

Invest heavily in real estates and agriculture no matter how attractive or otherwise it may be in the society at the moment. They will prove you to be wiser later in life.

Chapter 27

The Rotten Pot of Love in Shambles

Properties in good locations and Agriculture are lasting investments that never go out of fashion in life no matter the trends. Come what may, housing and food will be a relevant trend.

To be relevant all the time, read, read and read, do not be tired of getting knowledge or information. Be a friend of the Holy Bible and other sacred books to be developed spiritually. There is power in prayers and moderate fasting!

 Do not over do anything, if not you will suffer for it. Yes, you will make some mistakes, pardon and forgive yourself so as to move forward.

Above all, fear God and love your fellows. Never harm anyone to climb the ladder of life no matter how. If you do, something terrible

 Will await you as payback!

‘’In life, you cannot claim to be a man if you have not wrestled and won a battle’’

‘’And if you wait for perfect conditions you will not get anything done in life; even though, success has made failures of many men’’

‘’Rich people are not always happy people…Your hands can be full of money; your head can be full of information. But, if your heart is empty, your life is very empty! ‘’

‘’Thousands will fail in life simply because they are unwilling to make changes’’

‘’Words are not cheap. Wars begin because of words. Words can turn to wars if you’re not mindful. Peace comes when great men get together to negotiate and dialogue. Words link people. Words are the bridge into your future. Words created the world.’’

These were a recapture of some of what Segun learnt from his generous father when growing up in life. He was now fully ready to consider every word for a better experience that cannot be faulted.

‘’ Am glad that my passionate father told me all these insights when I grew up…Really, my father is one of the best fathers to have and be celebrated’’

Yes, Segun got it as he wanted from the messages of his father as recorded and preserved for long.

‘’Now, I must be a Man, am ready to wrestle and win …Why I attend ‘’The Winners Chapel’’ for!’’

Despite the fact that the challenges confronting Junior’s father at that moment are enormous, Segun can still say: ‘’When men are cast down, I am lifted up’’

Segun woke up from his slumber and got set in full force to a better approach to life as from that moment for the better future as desired and destined to be.

And like the prodigal son, he was heart bent ready to adjust in all area of his life no matter the cost that will be involved. Segun was highly resolute and there will be no going back again.

It is the day that you sighted misfortune that you arrange for its burial… Nobody spared a mess to spread.

The mosquitoes that you strife by all means possible to kill today will not bite you tomorrow, never!

By gone is by gone.

Segun from that moment began to feel and experience a sort of re-birth in his life and body. It appeared as if he was about to start life afresh on a clean page and new chapter entirely. The past is gone and forgotten.

The masquerade usually flings his garment towards the back direction. If one does not forget the mistakes of the past, moving forward in life may appear difficult.

As if some veils were being removed or tore off. He came to his senses and pitied himself for waiting so long till now. He was however grateful that it was not too late before making the u-turn from wayward journey of the past.  It is better to be late than being the late. The sun in the sky at this time can still get the wet cloth dried!

Avidly, on that notable fresh Monday; while he was engrossed in the meditations and positive reorientation of his noble life without any disturbance.

At a point, Junior suddenly called the attention of his father Segun to the video: ‘’The Rotten Pot of Love’’ they were watching at the sitting room.

‘’Daddy…Daddy…!!! That scene looked exactly like what happened on Saturday at grandpa’s house when my mummy came to pick me!’’

Junior exclaimed as he jumped out of the sofa-chair he sat on with a prompt attention at the giant life-size plasma TV hanged against the wall.

To gist the story, He needed a serious concentration from the father. His shoulders heaved immediately!

‘’What was it? ‘’ Segun harshly inquired from the restless boy. He became attentive to what the son wanted to say.

‘’My Daddy, I’II tell you everything!’’

Junior said further in a serious mood.

Segun, the father first hollered at him.

‘’O K, am listening’’ Segun responded as he lowered the volume on the TV set. Thereafter, he agog and listen attentively to what the inquisitive boy called Junior was about to say. The boy is never strange to his father. They are close with each other intimately well. Segun thought Junior could be funny and unrealistic sometimes. He was a kind of son that can easily create a storm inside a glass cup playfully.

Like an action replayed, that was how Junior began to narrate vividly what happened when Yetunde, her mother came to pick him up on Saturday at the grandparents’ house in Agbowo, Ibadan.

Kudos to a child of destiny blessed with a sharp memory and brilliant display of inborn talents and ability.

Acuity Junior did not hold anything behind from what he witnessed. It was reported like a professional trained journalist. To be candid, the accurateness of the report was faultless and hard to wave aside.

The agile boy described the incident with perfect demonstration precisely all the secret love conversations and the accomplishing actions that was infused when his mother was with Segun’s father. Repeatedly, it was an unflattering commentary.

Inevitably, what was how the hidden in respect of the infidelity of Yetunde was blown off openly by the reports presented by Junior in few minutes?

Heaven was about to be scattered and scraped off with razor shaving blade. The father of Junior had a changed countenance immediately. Things were no longer the same with him. The blood pressure began to rise rapidly.

‘’No sane person will hear the pronouncement of death sentence from a judge in the court of law and start dance!’’

The report of infidelity is highly sensitive and should be handled with greater caution; if not the home will be destroyed woefully.

No matter what it may be and how it may be viewed; nothing is strange again; we just have to manage it if that is what it became of a relationship.

Some happenings cannot be interpreted ordinarily with a perfect judgement. May be that was the more reason while it was written in the Holy Bible: ‘’Do not Judge; so that you may not be judged!’’

Meanwhile, the highly string Segun bubbled with life on the findings from Junior that created a friction and peak on the first day of the week.

What an amusement?  The mountain was set ablaze on Monday by the young kid named: Junior-the only child of Madam Yetunde. What a wrong business transaction!

What a serious matter at stake.  A beloved son in inside The Innocent Villa was about to flush-out and sluice his mother from her matrimonial home accidentally.

The amazed Segun at first did not count serious what Junior was saying. But a clever boy like Junior cannot be taken for granted at all.

 ‘’Even they say, out of any rumour there are elements of the truth’’

No man can be so trusted with a lady during the raining season when everywhere was too cold for comfort. And the worst part of scenario,  no domestic gas to use for warning or get hot water to bath with.

‘’We are all thieves when the house is empty of occupants’’ says a Yoruba adage.

Listening intently, Segun thought otherwise. There is no small child again! His imagination and anger got fired up instantly.

‘’Do you mean what you are saying?’’

Segun interrupted. He was down, dazzled and confused! He was so emphatic about it that in serious anger and annoyance; he furiously banged the floor along. He was annoyed even to himself instead.

‘’ Yes Daddy’’ I saw and witnessed it…My Mummy can’t denied it’’

Segun found the story to be unbearable truth. He planned to revenge. When no bad news is brought to the ears, the mind can never turned sad in anyway.

‘’Good news gives life and glamour while bad news brings sadness and downcast.’’

‘’Grandpa kissed my Mummy like this’’ Junior brilliantly demonstrated it passionately!

And he said in haste:

‘’Dear, thanks you for The Sealed Secret….You deserved a compensation!’’

The little boy Junior narrated the whole scenario to his father, while Segun listened raptly.

In fact, both his explanations and demonstration was accurate and precise. It looked tight, accurate, thoughtful and so difficult to be trashed or waved aside without any further investigations.

 It was like watching other version of the video that could be re-tagged:

 ‘’The Pot of Rotten Love’’

 Instead of the actual title:

’The Rotten Pot of Love’’

The change is fitted. Segun needed it that way maybe.

‘’Ahaaa, Ahaaa!!!...Junior…Junior?’’ ‘’Do you know what you are saying?’’

‘’Are you alright? ’’ Segun was trying to confirm from Junior

From the boy, what bad and unprecedented news; with an odour that was difficult to smell occupied the air and everywhere became uncomfortable.

 What a great blemish! It was like pouring thick palm oil on the white garment of bride on a wedding day in the public.

The precious glass cup with gold linen dropped from the centre table and scattered on the floor of the sitting room carelessly.

Without weighing the magnitude and implication, the sharp boy called Junior, eavesdrop like a little bird that tells the king everything behind the scene.

What was reported about Yetunde and Segun’s father as told by Junior was not only amazing but amusing too! The genesis of matrimonial unrest that invited regrets crises and dissolutions. 

It created all the panic, troubles and unrest that were witnessed inside The Innocent Villa thereafter by Madam Yetunde, Segun and the boy called Junior.

Dazedly, Segun became dumbfounded and furiously uncomfortable at the narration of Junior that was without missing words. He could not contain himself again. It looked like a dream to the dark skinned man.

 An overwhelming feeling of pains welled up inside him as he listened to the boy’s award story that sinks to his consciousness and could not let it pass.

Shockingly, Mr. Segun, the husband of Madam Yetunde was puzzled, baffled, bewildered, bitter and disgusted about it. He looked like someone dropped by vehicle at unknown location. He turned around like a hair cutter’s chair to no one in particular. Greatly astonished! He could not condone the bad news. He was ranged with revenge.

Unbearably, the way it came to be was so mysterious and awful to Segun. The father of Junior became dejected and heavily frustrated almost immediately like a sheep that lost its kid.  Disgustingly, several things began to uproot from his vivacious body.

With hazy memories, Segun from that moment regretted all his dealings with Yetunde in life.

‘’Could it be due to a faulty foundation, or what ? ’’

‘’But when the foundation are destroyed what else can the Righteous do Again?’’

Chapter 28.

 Severe Pains in the Marrow

He was getting more frayed and irritated about his entire life that was about crumbling like egg furiously thrown against a hard rock by an angry, hungry mad man inside the scorching sun.

The terrible havoc intentionally created by the naughty boy became too hard for charms or spell. Heavens have let loose eventually!

 Rains of Horror began to fall mercilessly at The Innocent Villa!

There is fire on the mountain with the thunderous blare of exploring bombs.  Undoubtedly, several causalities will be involved! The watering of clouds will be forced to make a downpour on the innocent villa mercilessly.

As if not enough, the rain with terror is about to fall again. It will drop-down brim stones instead of water. The love relationship between Segun and Yetunde got marred by regularise arising from Junior’s report to the father. It instantly got torn and worn!

The atmosphere twisted hot, unpleasant and hazardous. Segun was extremely perplexed by the encroachment of the trust for Yetunde. What can heal the wounds?

He punched his head several times like an insane person who just got mad afresh. What will scrape away the quandary mess on ground?

‘’This is terrible…Oh! My God!’’ Segun shouted repeatedly.

With the threadbare, he was no longer himself. He became greatly sad with heavy heart like someone mourning the demise of his beloved. He was disappointed and grieved seriously. He began to sweat furiously like some who just arrived from a scorching sun. It was Blood, Sweat and Tears combined!

  The destructive blast is ripped to explode. A backlash waits! 

‘’No wonder that Junior resembled my father so much’’ Segun recounted and lamented further.

‘’Could it be proved beyond all doubts that my father pregnant Yetunde?’’

The frustrated Segun began baffling by asking himself unanswerable questions in self-probing investigations concerning the infidelity. Only God can trace the path of a snake on the rock!

‘’ How…how…How? ’’ He turned furious again with the risen temper.

The bitter lover Segun burst into a sorrowful weep uncontrollably. It was a cry of life for the forty-five years old chartered accountant. He was weeping furiously instead of having a rest. Blood, Sweat and Tears seems to be gushing out from his able-body!

 He grunted like a pig and scowled at Junior with haunted eyes. The grip of bad news got him dead-sick and condemned.

He was deeper in sorrow and agony…crying aloud like a baby in the mid-night. He was very aggrieved and agonized. Nobody was around to console the dumped and cheated son of guru politician except the little boy named Junior!

The intrepid boy pitied Segun as he falls down howling seriously and rolling on the floor. Water has entered inside the shell of the giant snail from behind.

Segun was badly devastated. He had never felt so depressed and hollow and lonely in his whole life.

The frustrated Segun loathed himself. He tore his clothes and fell prostrated on the floor sadly. Like a dirty, unshaven, cold, tired, hungry, thirsty beggar dressed in burlap and sprawled.

With the anguished look on the face of Junior, he did all he could to stop his father from the agony. The deadly situation had gone out of control for the silly and stupid boy who took everything for a child play.

When a child does not know or identify correctly a live snake, he will take it for a toy to be playing and jesting with!

The blast of mountain explored heavily.

Indeed, they have removed child from the back of mad-woman. Every mother must run for cover immediately!

Undoubtedly, the tail of python has been stepped upon by a careless dog. Trouble must vomit! What an awaiting shame, dishonour and disgrace ahead!

Really…..

‘’YOU can never tell a bad market day by the morning’’ says the weather-beaten Igbo proverb!

The talking drum is passing a message across to those who bother to listen and understand. Nobody would prevent a bent and frustrated angry dog from paying courtesy visitation to the den of lion. Only her return will be bloody or uncertain.

When a child decided to have leprosy, he must be fully prepared to be living alone inside the forest separately.

‘’We are preventing a chick from death, she kept crying about that we failed to grant her the chance to visit the dustbin outside to eat rotten food and the mess! ‘’ says a Yoruba adage

Funny enough and unfortunately, at the evening time when Yetunde returned back home from her business. She was in high spirit without any premonition of what awaited her.

Unknown to her that her son Junior had let out the cat, the rats must run away fast. The uncharted boy blew the gaff completely with his inciting gibberish.

For the innocent wife, there was no place to hide.

Madam Yetunde entered her matrimonial home inside ’’The innocent Villa’’-a mansion built for them by the rich billionaire and her confided secret lover.

The atmosphere was tense and remorse. It was not friendly as expected. However, the aculeate woman assured that her lateness naturally triggers the hunger on that day which was unusual. Yetunde got home around 9.54pm in the evening which was odd and abnormal of her. The good house wife was averted to night driving and reaching home late.

Really, she was still under some illusion that everything was normal inside The innocent villa that night.

‘’Sorry dear, some clients came when we were about to close shop that was why I sent the message to you through Whatsapp’’

Yetunde was trying to justify the reason for her lateness. All the airs and graces did not touch the already upset Segun. The husband just nodded his head like agama lizard with deep breath. He looked feral, wide, untamed. His heart beats rose rapidly!

He did not utter a statement nor bother to read any phone message from Yetunde. He only frown his face totally. Yetunde expected Segun to make a response. Everything was just calm and cold.

Yetunde began to sense an awaiting trouble; she dropped her bag and move towards her husband saying:

‘’ Honey, let me go and shower first. You will eat and taste me tired!’’

Yetunde lovely and softly expressed her apology to the husband to bury the hatchet.

Chapter 29.

 Who Owns The Child?

Suddenly, Segun stood up in anger like a mad solider; ripped off his robe and shouted hideously on the top of his voice:

 ‘’l caught you today! Your hidden Secret has been exposed!’’

 He raised alarm.

Immediately, in a twinkling of an eye; he quickly rushed to jam the door and flung the key to a corner of the house in anger. He drew out a sharp-cutlass from the back of the three-sitter chair.

 There was no way for Yetunde to unlatch the door again. It was locked already. The veil is torn off completely! Segun was about to smite Yetunde.

The sweet honey became spoiled and diluted with bitter leaves and watery gall! How smooth will it flows inside the mouth of the socked, innocent woman and the thirsty mother?

To the mother of Junior, it was like chewing with a sore tooth or trying to run on a broken foot!

Unexpectedly, there was ‘’Katakata’’ inside ‘’The Innocent Villa.’’ The black pot can no longer accommodate both the kernel and palm oil together!

In furry, Segun first wanted to clench his fits against her but she escaped the attempt narrowly. It caused anguish and terror to fall upon her suddenly that evening.  Conversely, Segun had unrestrained anger for Yetunde like a satanic manipulation.

In sadness, his anger burns like fire. Segun was about to fight against his wife Yetunde like a besieging army against a high city wall. Who will deliver her from the ruthless hands of the hearten husband?

His anger that burns like fire was about to consume the woman. She wanted a rescue from the clutches! But unfortunately, there was no rescue at sight for her. Everywhere was scarce of mercy or sympathy!

Madam Yetunde was greatly shocked and badly frightened at the strange attitude and the pronouncements. The heebie-jeebies were untold and hefty! She was greatly astonished and perplexed. So life could be turned upside down with a detected error or past mistake!

‘’My head hurts! The rudiments are making me sick’’- exclaimed Segun.

The anger of Segun flared out against Madam Yetunde that day. Segun was very furious with harsh belligerent attitude. He was no longer patience or friendly to the less privileged. Suddenly, the love turned to hate. He was so upset.

‘’I kill you today; kill myself and this boy…unless you confessed the truth to me!’’

‘’Now…now…!!! Who is the real father of Junior?’’

The angered Segun became too dangerous and dreadful to be confronted.

‘’ Is Junior my son or my father’s child?’’

 The husband furiously asked with trembling sounds from a frustrated man. More search light needs to be beamed on Yetunde’s hidden acts as regards the p[ending issue.

The questions hung in the air. Segun, the beloved husband of Yetunde! Was greatly boiling, breathing heavily and sweating wrathfully.

The hassled Segun went wide, haywire and bulling like a seriously wounded lion inside the forest. He was desperately ready to butcher Yetunde. He was armed to finish the mother of Junior and ruined the family reputation because of the detected crime.

All appeal to calm him down was abortive. He stubbornly refused to listen like a deaf and dumb boat driver on high speed inside the stormy water!

Segun have never being so bullies before to that terrible extend in the past years.

However, as glaring as it was, the wife was caught napping immediately. She surrenders, and began aching and feverish. It was no longer a child’s play to be handled with kid- gloves any longer. It became a grief matter to fester fast.

According to the counsel of Robert Greene, author of The 48 Laws of Power, that ‘’ If one ember is left alight, no matter how dimly it smoulders, a fire will eventually break out’’

The distraught Yetunde said a few prayers before she faced the ordeal of her husband. It was more devastating to her that evening.

The harried Yetunde was agape; apparently unsure of what to do next. She was now scared of her husband. Whiffs of glamour inside the innocent villa have turned sour and dreadful. Yetunde was shredded and ragged that evening. She was shaking with fear!

She was reluctant to declare herself guilty!  Also, the sensible woman was unwilling to make any pronouncement. She was not ready to unseal the sealed secret as promised.  She endured to restrain from going full blast!  But, is it possible to fight a war without casualties?  But will Yetunde not be a victim of what Greene says in his publication:

‘’More is lost through stopping halfway than through total annihilation?’’

Now which is better; to take the battle to the enemy’s gate or to wait to be at the attacked by the enemy?

Awfully, Yetunde sensed clearly that if the needful is not done without further delay; the consequences may be cataclysmic! Therefore, she must act decisively at the moment.

It is just like a cancer patient who is unwilling to face chemotherapy or surgery. It would get to a point that not only would he lose the part he is trying to protect; he would also lose the whole body as the cancer cells metastasise!

The fury of the king is like that of a roaring lion. It is usually very deadly or the hitherto highways to hell. The stall is broken; the horse must run away fast. When there is wide-fire inside the forest of terror, no lion stays inside the den parading to be the king of forest. God forbids bad thing!

At that moment, Segun have lost his senses and everything about him is scattered and tattered. He did everything in anger and ragged about inside the villa. He acted like a ox that was about to gore Yetunde.

The battle front was like Segun with RAF Horse glider with a full load of ammunition against innocent Yetunde with one well-placed shot into her fuselage, she would be a giant Roman candle.

Like a devouring fire about to consume! He behaved like someone in Jordan’s jungle. He roared at Yetunde like a lion of the forest bulling carelessly. Segun felt he has been ‘’slighted’’ or ‘’Cheated’’! He was seriously hurt.

At a point, Yetunde sat down exhausted. She was dog-tired, tense and apprehensive. Her cohorts on her beached were having it just as bad, or worse. Intravenously, she was weak and on the verge of death!

‘’ You can never really appreciate the lonely terror of being in the presence of your enemy until it really happened to you’’

Madam Yetunde ponders ghastly with herself.

As an adversary, Segun was enraged with Yetunde and ready to embarrass and disgraced her with rains of insults, reproach and condemnation.

Really, the father of Junior would battle anybody whenever he lost his hot temper like this. Therefore, Yetunde must cooperate and behave herself. If not, the frustrated man had blindly made up his mind to scatter and pour the salt inside sand.

Who will be bold enough to prevent the mad bull-dog from barking? Yetunde was ill at ease at this stage inside the innocent villa that evening.  She needed a timely help from the pending menace.

But the help was as uncertain as a seasonal mountain brook-sometimes a flood, sometimes as dry as a bone!

There was no one in particular to help or bail her out of the pending mess. To bind up the wound, no medicine does any good again.

Though, it was obvious that only by confessing the truth of the matter without any preservation can save the unpleasant situation at the moment. Yetunde was about to vomit what she gulp already. She screamed for the danger in sight.

Ideally, when the drumbeat changed, Yetunde has no choice but to comply with the rhythm of the new drumbeat.

Regrettably, Madam Yetunde regained her strength from the shock; and panicky rummaged through the body to explain what actually happened vibrantly between her and Segun’s father before she got married. She apologizes profusely for her actions but stressed that she was innocently raped by Segun’s father!

There was a build-up of exchange of unpleasant words between the couples that night.

‘’ Are you sure that was the truth of the matter?’’ Segun inquired! He was embittered.  He was sad about his father’s nefarious rape act! Yetunde in a shaky voice told exactly how it happened without her consent.

‘’ Yes my dear, it was your father…it was your father that raped me. I never planned it this way…You knew that I was a virgin before we met…!’’

– Yetunde babbling with the confessions to Segun bulling!

 She was deeply soaked with a river of bitter tears; terribly shaking like a chicken inside the rain. Yetunde got feared and trembling with ashen-faced. Segun was surprised because he rarely seen her cry, but the tears streamed down her face that night.

Segun, the husband of madam Yetunde felt greatly betrayed by his wife. Yetunde was equally sad and bitter about the deadly mistake unfolded.  However, bitterness is more devastating than betrayal. Betrayal is external, bitterness is internal.

At the scene of scuffle, Yetunde keenly watched her husband carefully holding the hatchet with red-hot eyes. The mother of Junior became sicken and faint. Her sun is gone down while it yet day. She was disgraced in sadness and shame!

‘’No matter how made a dog is, he will not take fire for any other objects in sight!’’ says an adage.

Segun calm down from his dismayed. He stopped dragging the issue further.

 ‘’ It was not your fault really, but it is mandatory; I need to confirm the true-father of this child before I bounce on my father’’

-He bluntly voice out.

Disgustingly, Segun swoop down on Yetunde his wife.

‘’ Therefore, by tomorrow, we shall go for a DNA test and confirm the authenticity of the matter at stake’’

- The husband pronounced as he left for the visitors room to sleep with Junior.

It takes only few hours for the robust green plant to turn brown and dried up by the scorching sun without water to the roots. Dryness is a common experience whenever the rain seized to fall most especially when the gods of the land are furiously angry and demands revenge at all cost.

Who is born right and bold enough to remove from the mouth of a lion the swallowed rat? Nobody will ever attempt such a suicidal mission during the broad daylight!

Such a act will precisely tantamount to sitting on a high-voltage transformer to take the launch. What a great pity? The food must have been mistakenly poisoned and served by the bitter and frustrated husband food vendor, whose beloved wife was snatched and cheated through the influence of money-power! What a mere ride that will be too difficult to accept even by an idiot or bastard.

Anyway, only God can judge right anyway. To be sincere and candid, no human being can claim to be so justified in the messy acts of life that we are all entangled and caged in. The plain truth must be told. ‘’ We are all thieves when nobody is at home’’: says a common Yoruba adage.

Chapter 30.

The Terrible Fight of Two Rams

In fact, only those who come early enough to watch the serious fight between two heavy-long horns that have escaped being slaughtered during the last festival already will be able inform wanderers the reason for the deadly fight. Simply because they would have dragged themselves far away from the initial spot where the fight began!

And when two elephants are fighting, the grass underneath suffers the pain greatly. Wounds, damages, accidents and death are the common spectators at the site a quarrel or couples fight!

Indeed, when two amateurs decided to play ludo game, both the dice and figures may not be stabled or certain at the start of the game. It takes a bigger and sharp stone to kill an elephant in the forest if possible.

Getting through the valley became extremely difficult for Yetunde that night, but it was not impossible. The difference between winners and losers is the way they respond to failure or tough times like this.

Song writer Roger Williams says:

‘’There is so much good in the worst of us. And so much bad inside the best of us. It handily becomes any of us to talk about the rest of us’’

Thereafter, Segun despite the anger began brooding over the incident. He was sadly disappointed with all sorts of distractions in his family. The rest few days were fraught with dangers.

In a decent society, nobody curses the king loudly and earn honour or big prestige in return as the dividend!...Never!!!  Likewise, anyone that steps on the tail of a mad sleeping artesian dog has invited trouble.

Hideously, an earnest eagle have landed on the rope, things are no longer stable or ease for neither the bird nor the rope again. When things fall apart, the centre cannot hold any longer.

From that moment, Yetunde, the beloved wife of Segun became too cold for comfort. She was acknowledging with deeper shame, culpable, and verily guilty inside The Innocent Villa.

 Everything, everywhere inside the innocent villa became dreadfully, hideously, unbearably harsh, and unpleasant for the able-wife.

Segun badly hated her with a deep hatred like an aching sore because of what she had innocently committed with his father. Yetunde was harvesting a crop of shame. She had sown wheat but reaped thorns.

Indeed, it appears as if the entire globe was against her. The earth around appears speedily rotating and unstapled. The universe was like about to crash and scatter inside the Atlantic Ocean. Her eyes were seen double with sparkling stars! Her groaning was not heard.

Severely, the past mistake was digging deep. The racing bike has lost control on top-speed towards the lagoon without a break to hold it back.

The hell prison walls have broken loose, the streams of hot fire from the lake was about to consume the universe into ashes. What a bombshell! Yetunde attempted singing a new song:

’Come Back darling …Give me another chance…I’II make You Satisfy!

Segun did not bother to listen. He became deaf and too be clouded to give Yetunde the second chance.

 Yetunde have committed an abomination. The hidden atrocities have turned into an unpleasant episode and have exploded. What will be the saving grace to clean the mess of shame?

Will Segun temper justice with mercy for goodness sake?

Can the lad behave maturely as a husband by allowing love and forgiveness display their virtues’ at this hour?

‘’ O My God! Oh My God!!!

‘’My Dear, Please! Please!!....Please!!!

Yetunde kept shouting bitterly and pleading repeatedly before Segun that have put on the red garment of bitterness, sorrow and anger with the sharp-shining cutlass set to maracas his wife mercilessly like the Sharia marshal. She wanted to hobble away from the scene. There was nowhere to run to since the door was tightly locked.

As a result of the self-humiliation and guilty heart that rendered Yetunde powerless of reaction to the behaviour, reactions, thoughts, words of ‘’The Lord ‘’ Segun like a king that walked in absolute mastery and dominion!

Most assuredly, ‘’No matter how much you train a dog to act like a human life, it can never truly be human simply because it doesn’t have human life. To be human, you have to be born that way.’’

Clearly, Yetunde ran into bad luck with the terrible, unpleasant reports of her son called Junior. He had created the unexpected troubles being faced by the mother.

Yes, no single wisdom can be relevant for life.  Hardly, could a woman or man in this world know when he or she is going to run into bad luck. She was like a fish caught in a net or a bird caught in a snare.

Invariably, it was down on Yetunde that wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one rotten apple can spoil a barrelful.

Really, dead flies will cause even a bottle of perfume to stink!

Yes, a small mistake can outweigh much wisdom and honour. Yetunde realised her mistake but it was almost too late to amend or adjust. When the roof leaks, the rafters begin to rot!

When the clouds are heavy, the rains come down. When a tree falls, whether south or north, the die is cast already, for there it lies.

Segun was almost deaf and dumb. Several thoughts ran through his mind that night. The breaking heart of Segun mourns in loneliness with his eyes overflow with tears due to the mistrusted act exposed.

An adage says: ‘’When one is crying, the eyes are never blind.’’  The wailing of Junior cautioned the father for a while!

Yetunde despite her plight staggered and went inside her bed room alone with these actions and utterances:

‘’ Lord Jesus, you’re my Rock,  my refuse in You, I find peace, strength and protection. You are my wisdom and the source of my righteousness; the unshakeable foundation on which I stand’’

-Sang Madam Yetunde wholeheartedly!

Thereafter, she climbs the bed to rest.  She remained vigilant and alert in her spirit.

These song lyrics flowed from her lips and the tears streaming down her checks, in spite of her present troubles. Yetunde refused to be fortified and unshakable no matter be the outcome of the troubles with Segun. She became bold and courageous!

One Man’s victory another man’s loss!

Life is usually in two sides like that of a coin. The victory of a man will definitely result into the loss of another fellow. That is life for you. The stages are of two types, the winning stage and the losing stage.

You have to belong to a stage at a moment.

Oh Yes! One man’s victory another man’s loss. The joy of victory, the anguish of loss and the reciprocal relationship between the duo.

A victor is one who wins gallantly in a contest of life and a loser is the one who losses or was won or defeated in a life content. Every human being is fighting a battle to win or loss! It pays to win and very painful to be a loser!

As we all know that, the one who wins will usually enter into the ecstasy and pregnancy of joy, while the loser will invariably go about some hideouts covering his or her identity in the grab of ignominy!

But if I may asked: ‘’ what concerns the Muslim clergy about the fat legs of the butchered dog?

In his worries, Madam Yetunde read out this Poem:

The Child

The Child I am raises to question,

What motherhood is all about?

Why the innocent young bear the mark of rejection.

And the reason why l am thrown out.

The child l am seeks to know,

The purpose of my being.

The history of long ago.

And the mystery of blood into being.

The child l am seeks to know

Why there is much hate in the world.

Why blood hate blood.

Within the confines of human knowledge,

 My life is walled, my vision blurred.

For being ingénue, it is iniquitous to partake,

In the sin of human.

What is my offence? I ask.

But no answer lies with man only

But a still voice inside of me whispers

Challenge! Challenge!

For unto my innermost heart the word pierces.

And for once has woken me to the path of challenge.

The many wickedness and injustice that I see,

I am from such things relieved.

For with challenge I can swim the great sea.

And with it l conquer, because I have believed!

  Thereafter, Madam Yetunde took solace in God. Who is unconquerable?

All things work together to produce her blessings. She boastfully affirmed: ‘’Christ is my rock and fortress’’ confessed by Madam Yetunde. This is amazing!

In the absence of love, anything can happen between couples. Anytime love travels without prompt notice, hatred begins to reign between two jolly friends and lovers. A little mistake that could have been overlooked becomes a sin to be punished. It will be room for accusation upon accusation. Harsh talks and arguments will be a common experience on daily basis. There will no longer be room or amiable space for the rest of mind at all.

If not for fight, when does the song of love turned to be chorus of jealousy and bitterness?

As a result, every step or action by the couples becomes suspicious with different interpretations.

Without any prior notice, the closed relationship between Segun and Yetunde was getting separated rapidly almost every day. The love seal like a horse hit the rock with a bang! It got the front legs badly damaged with fractures.

The innocent villa was getting too hot to stay inside for Yetunde. The marital home became unpleasant and miserable. The dog kept barking like a stranger with the waving tailed seized to roam or triangles.

Indeed, the king’s crier’s voice is getting fainted due to stress and splash of the voice box. The need for an urgent repairs or replacement was due without any further delay. The new bride of love appears naked, she must not be allowed to reach the market square!

Indeed, The rotten pot of love is broken and set on fervour! 

Unfortunately, there will definitely be an amazing great problem ahead when a completely deaf and dumb driver mounted up the Truck of Love to drive it pass across the Lagoon with full Load of Lovers and the newly married couples on-board as innocent passengers.

In such a Saga:

Firstly, the safety of both the passengers and the vehicle cannot be guaranteed!

Secondly, the stop over at the next bus stop for any of the passenger to drop if at all is certain or double sure. Due to the hearing impurity of the driver whose attention for such desired action may require some frantic efforts?

Thirdly, the passengers inside the full load truck are victims of fate already. Only God can prevent that trip from being the last journey of Destiny!

In fact, quick prayers should be offered for divine rescue on time!

Chapter 31.

 The Garment of Masquerade Caught Fire

  The trials and turbulent experiences coupled with the pangs of plight created by Junior have scattered and trashed already the proposed Tenth Years Wedding Anniversary plan of Segun and Yetunde slated for October ending!

Naturally, Segun was not happy or pleased with his wife. He was enraged and honestly vowed to recklessly deal with Yetunde over the blunder committed. He did not take the matter lying low at all. He did not want any word spoken by Junior to be wasted or lost. He burst about like a raging flood.

 Ideally, the heavens should have fallen, but the awaiting of DNA tests report held the matter a little.

Definitely, the DNA tests result exposure will make heads to roll.

What may be difficult to detected in darkness will be seen during the day-light eventually?

Like the speed of light, ten days after; they eagerly went to collect the result of the DNA tests done. It eventually proffered the solution to the problem on ground.

 But unfortunately, these are days of anomie when folly becomes bliss. One day the truth shall prevail!

Actually, the validly made interpretations of the DNA tests confirmed Junior to be the real biological son of Yetunde. However, Segun could not be traced to be the father but somebody else unidentified!

The favourably expected did not come to pass on that day. It became a vital reality that the boy called Junior belongs to a distant father and not Segun. It sinks deep into the spirit of Segun painfully with battles to fight because of the depraved and the anomaly.  The most enthralling part of it all was that the enthroned Segun had nothing left to fuel his passion for the boy again.

What a great astonishment! The gourd is innocently broken eventually with the palm wine inside gushing away?

Segun was now keenly aware of the apostasy and unfaithfulness and abominable act between Yetunde and his father. The horse of love they were both riding got grounded to a halt suddenly on that horrible day.

Mr Segun was highly baffled and grievously affected. He looked like thirsty jackals that stood upon the bare hills puffing and panting!

To be candid, Yetunde became extremely too cold for comfort. The terrible findings created further frictions to the family.

 In fact, if the mother of Junior had her way earlier, she would have bribed the medical laboratory operators to tapper with the results of the DNA tests in her favour and or trash out the result but it was utterly impossible because she was incarcerated and resisted.

To be factual, there is no results or investigations that cannot be tampered with in this country where money is been worshipped. An authentic DNA test can be turned faked and worthless where powers are involved. No individual should be trusted including the police.

Wahoo!  The DNA tests further disentangled the sealed secret. Yetunde was adjudged guilty. She became perplexed, puzzled, baffled, bewildered and befuddled!

‘’Where lies the honour again?’’  Segun inquired!

The hidden secret that was sealed has been shamefully and shockingly unsealed by the DNA tests conducted. It further shed light on the dark part of the saga.

With the boy Junior, Yetunde and Segun’s father had conspired of robbing Peter to pay Paul! They had polluted a fountain or muddying a spring of life. They have perfectly rubbed salt on wounds. What a pain too painful to endure?  The costly salt is scattered inside sand with dust without remedy!

What cannot be used is useless then!

Yetunde and Segun’s father got a score to settle with the son called Junior.

Segun became more grieved, furious, depressed and frustrated. In the fit of anger, he decided to visit his parents together with Yetunde and Junior to make a report immediately. Things were no longer ease for the couples. The uproar was getting out of hands.

When they got to the grand-parents’ house, the heartbroken Segun abhorred his wife, He reported the heinous crime committed. He was somewhat hysterical as he tried to explain to his mother what had just happened.

 The grand-parents were frightened. They snarled and were indignant about the solemn truth. The frustrated experience was painful to the family. Nothing was out of place. A big and elegantly told story of bitter lovers amidst the dreaming spins.

 Segun exposed the heart trending scenario bitterly. He was as bold as a lion during the confrontation with his father on the rape report. The ears of those who heard it bristle and prickle. It horrifies the people of the world! Everyone was dumbfounded!

Can the Ethiopian change the colour of his skin? Or a leopard takes away his spots?

Hurriedly, the finger of accusation was distractedly pointed at Segun’s father by his son! The billionaire and one off the most influential Ibadan man is being accused of infidelity.

Awfully, Segun’s father denied all the timely allegations outright. He firmly declared that nothing of such occurred between him and Yetunde. He feigned ignorance.

The mother of Junior did not utter a single statement during the hot conversations. She looked like a sheep about to be slaughtered. It was a wrong time to weep again. Yetunde looked morose like the Pharaoh’s chef locked up in the prison with Joseph.

The grandpa made attempts to acquit himself from the accusation. He took a deep breath.

‘’No….No….No!!!  He was emphatic.

Segun’s father insisted boldly, and was fully prepared to proof himself right and completely get out of the mess.

For the sake for peace to reign, grandma the mother of Segun waved into the matter. She appealed to the parties concerned to hold on until the following day.

She informed the people involved to allow dialogue a chance. With better understanding, all issues can be resolved.

What a woman, what a mother?

The arrangement was that Segun’s father would also go for DNA test so as to eventually ratified the issue and allow the storm to settle.

Without doing otherwise, they all agreed and departed without further argument or noise making.

The rest days were full of deep sorrow, grief and restless with bitter nights for Yetunde. The husband Segun kept terrifying her with battle shouts. It was hoped that all the evil and atrocious plans and agendas of Satan against her would fail.

When the garment of masquerade caught fire; soonest the face of the man inside will be exposed!

‘’Oran de’’ Trouble have arrived!!!’’

Even though, there is nothing strange again under the sun. Troubles have gathered momentum with the alleged accusation of infidelity with Yetunde by her husband.

Chapter 32:

The Sudden Death of Lion

The uninvited bulldozer began roaming and about to pull down strong holds. Who will intervene and stop the wicked machine from further damages at The Innocent Villa?

How can the abnormalities become normal and overlooked?

Who will tackle the strange demon of destruction?

The brave billionaire was utterly confused and dejected beyond normal. He bothered to find a visible way of escape from the alleged shame and the likely consequence. There was no rescue at sight.

 He was not courageous enough to stand the shame of his dreadful mistake. The hurt could not be endured any step further.

‘’The skull of an-aged old man is better than the face of shame without any cover cloth.’’ Says an adage!

Yes, instead for the earth to be declared dead; it will be found barren or futile!

There is no tight-corner or blockage for the elephant from entering the marsh. The transition of a hero cannot be a mere passage without the rites. The ‘’Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan’’ acted otherwise like a native citizen overnight.

A door will either open inside or outside. It is a matter of convenience or safety! Nothing goes for anything in life.

Drinking a hot water without a bit of caution will definitely bring terrible pain and disaster to the throat with the stomach not spared or escaped.

Definitely, whatever affected the eyes negatively will have side effect on the nose. There is no escape route for the rat caught red-handed inside the roof of the big cat domino on a black Friday!

The hidden secrets have been blown open by Junior and no remedy at sight to cover up with. No hidden place for the billionaire on the matter. The defence is weak and does not hold water.

The DNA test proposed to be done the following day does not guaranty any palatable results. It will only worsen the matter as seemed and calculated by Segun’s father that evening before he left for his bed-room lonely. He was confused, frustrated and badly dejected. He was griped with sorrow to the point of death!

The dice is cast. The harm can’t be prevented any longer! The knife has cut-off the fingers of the baby already; throwing away the carving knife does not make any sense again!

The dance of shame does not have collective dancers this time around. Life is made to be that way. Each person would face his fate in life. Your cross, whether heavy or light would be carried by you alone when the time for such ordeal arise.

In life, no matter the goodies and rounding’s of men, do not be carried away. You are still alone. You are just a unit in the collective universe.

 On the day of Judgement, each person would face The Creator to give accounts of his stewardship in life. Therefore, be very careful on how you are conducting your affairs with the fear of God. There is a reward awaiting your deeds!

 Life is about Sowing and Reaping!

 In life, You are on Your own [OYO]

Imagine, only Jesus Christ; the lord and saviour of humanity had a helper who gave helping hands in carrying the Cross of salvation when He was on the Way to Calvary for the sinner’s work of Salvation and redemption!

The guru-politician was left alone to dance to the unpleasant tune of The Sealed Secret that was unsealed and exposed openly.

The sky is darker without white linens. For how long will it tarry?

The appeared images inside the standing mirror looked rough and rugged! Something needful should be done without further delay. If not, the aftermath will be too terrible to bear.

 Sadly, the giant could not hold back his tears that night. He regretted badly the wrong act of the past the popped out from the incarcerated prison.

The Age Old Mystery of the Love Seal Secret got exposed through the innocent boy called Junior! What a great disaster at stake.

This was a cross road for Segun’s father. What will be the right?

However, for a blame to have dignity; it must be put on scanty individuals and not everyone. All cannot be found guilty of a single offence that was committed out of volition by the billionaire politician!

Segun was seriously sad and unhappy with his father for the disheartening story he heard. It was unfair, criminal and bestial for his father having secret love affairs with Yetunde his legal.

The woman and mother of Junior got confused further for days by the tough games of lawful identification she was playing with Segun. She resumes the participation on daily basis until the game was over by the blow of whistle and the red-card displayed.

Madam Yetunde was soberly weak and tired. She suffered a natural consequence of her folly. She spent her last days inside The Innocent Villa with a deep sense of futility and emptiness just because we lived in a lawless and heartless society. Such are the fact of life in this tragic and misruled world

A beggar may not have a choice; but we can give the beggar a chance!

The following morning, anguished Segun came to carry his political father for DNA tests. The story changed. The man was found completely stone dead inside his bed room without any notice or message behind.

What a ruse! The eagle had gone to the rocky mountain top to shed its feathers earlier than the time.

As strange as it sounds, the flying clothes hanged outside must not be allowed to be blown off by the tornado. If not, it will be out of reach again!

The smiles and the laughter have seized, there is no time to open the 32 white teeth again. This could be referred to as: The Dead of a Lion!

This is a wicked world indeed. The demise of the billionaire was sudden and unexpected. The death was shrouded in mystery. It was rather unfortunate!

The giant and highly gallant soldier bowed to the storm of shame and disgrace unknowingly. What madness!

Coincidentally, the aunt has carried a heavy load that prejudiced it down to a stand-still already. The person that greedily swallowed mortal with stones will not have a peaceful rest throughout the night.

 That’s the more reason why the monkey needs to be extremely careful not to climb the rotten and rusted tree anyhow!

The needle will be too small for the Ostrich to hide away from the mad-hungry and wounded lion in desperate search for a prey to devour.

When the shepherd is attacked unprepared, the flock will scattered in different directions eventually.

Segun, Yetunde and the billionaire grandfather of the boy called Junior are all in troubles. The dimension may not be the same anyway!

Yes, with the sudden death of Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan in his sleep and discovered in the early morning of that day. The great eagle has flown away; nobody can sight clearly the big bird again, only the feathers are visible from far distance!

Badly, the brave billionaire of Ibadan could no longer be bold enough to stand and dance to shame of his grief mistake.

That was the end of the fizzy.

The road was blocked, the bridge have been destroyed. No place or direction to face in particular for Segun in his sole-fight for Justice.  Death remains the ultimate and the final bus-stop of any struggle or pursuit. Who will provide the candidate due for DNA tests now?

Chapter 33.

The Open Wound With Spell

The road was blocked, the bridge have been destroyed. No place or direction to face in particular for Segun in his sole-fight for Justice.  Death remains the ultimate and the final bus-stop of any struggle or pursuit.

Who will provide the candidate due for DNA tests now? The sudden and untimely death of the noble man of Ibadan politics dragged the intuitive investigations to a dead-end eventual. It ended up crushing into the walls.

The future became peak, hacked, ruined and scattered as a result of the eyesore. Who will condole the nonsense? Who will clean the stain?

Due to the dwindling love, the golden rings of engagement on Madam Yetunde’s left hand finger got stained and broken. It became too tight to be fixed again.

The heartbroken Segun had already removed the patriot icing ring and flung it out of the window into a far distance inside the muddy bush behind the innocent villa.

Actually, with the anguished Segun; the silver cord of love snaps and the golden bowl is broken with the pitcher at the foundation. The innocent inside the villa was found guilty of an error. The wheel of intimacy got broken at the cistern.

What went wrong cannot be righted. It is water over the dam or chasing the wind! What will be the right solution to the plight of anguished Segun?

Surely, Segun’s father made absurd mistake that was an indication of political rascality and irresponsibility. Truly, the shifted blames was not for innocent Yetunde to suffer for alone.

 The binding love between the two couples got deflated and faded out like the balloon punched with a fury blow. The initial intimacy and hot loved accord got broken and too cold for comfort like the wet nose of the dog. It was like the jacket stolen in cold weather!

Indeed, ’’Omoye’’ had entered the public market completely naked and furious; no cover cloth can cover the shame any longer!!!’’ says an adage.

The city of love with the headquarter base inside the innocent villa have turned a Babel arena for blames and shame! The inhabitants are detected and rejected. The pride of yester-years suddenly turned to chronic pains of the moment with regrets and curses!

The songs are no longer pleasant in the ears to be listening to by gainful lover on the stage. The next scene must quickly be presented for an urgent change; if not the odd odour can break the stomach.

The vehicle of love chartered to carry both Segun and Yetunde suddenly had terrible accident on top speed. Hope the wreck will not claim lives?

Is the boy Junior that seated at the back of the car safe and unharmed?

The mindless bleeding heart is set blazed with hot fire. Hope the rain water about to fall would be enough to quench it?

When the egg is not handled properly-well, there would be no remedy if found dropped against sharp-stone on the path being truckled by the careless intruders who are not mindful.

The citizens have been packed out of the houses forcefully when it was raining heavily outside with floods everywhere. Mercy and favour have definitely run to the mountain top to hide without any notification.

As a result, the love affairs and the bond between Segun and Yetunde got broken and damaged. Like a rot pride, to Yetunde, the wife of Segun; the linen loin cloth bought for her to wear was removed. It turned mildewed suddenly by the storm of life and falling apart painfully. It was utterly useless and good for nothing. Unfortunately, it turned the honour of a pretty wife into a big shame with her mistake. Her glorious crowns removed from the head. She writhe in pain like a woman having a serious child birth labour .She was innocently destroyed by the invading father –in-law.

Really, Segun was smashed against his wife. Pity and mercy failed to spare the utter destruction. Deep, impenetrable darkness was about to fall upon her stumble and upon the dark mountains.

At the pinnacle of the crisis, the frustrated Segun was highly grieved and resulted to fate. He was hell bent and furious. With no mercy or compromise, he took a drastic decision by packing every of Yetunde’s belonging out of the innocent villa together with Junior her controversial son.

All the attempts and actions were to put the situation in proper perspective. Undoubtedly, Yetunde was made to pay for her sins likewise Segun’s father.

Since Yetunde was not innocent again! Therefore, He bundle them all to his fathers’ residence because of the atrocity committed. The frustrated Titian begged and apologised to her husband. But Segun paid no heed.

 The room of Yetunde had been wrecked, pictures ripped from the wall. Her flag was hanged halfway without flowing any longer. However, the deprivation of Yetunde from innocent villa was questionable?

The harm has been done: Is cutting the head best solution to headache in life? 

Will the opposition’s tears be variously pooh-poohed as crocs?

However, the anguished mother and no nonsense grandma did not accept the mess at all by barring his fangs against the wife.

Yetunde and her son were not welcome into the premises. Madam Yetunde was mocked and put to public shame. She was not quiet and ignorant.

 Instead, she made Yetunde look ridiculous and turns her fortune-tellers into jokes. She was completely exposed to utter shame and pity like the fierce wind of the desert. It became as if Yetunde was destined for the shame like a spell!

 She kicked them out forcefully. The aged woman lambasted the wife of Segun with annoying curses. The broom of justice by grandma started sweeping vigorously. The triggers were terrible and deadly. Yetunde gibbers became a subject of laughing stock, mockery and ridicule. The grand-mother almost mobs from outside to lynch her!

She was barred because of the incident. She has been detached and suspended from ‘’The innocent villa’’. Yetunde now called ‘’The Outcast’’ from The Innocent Villa! She was expelled and finished.

Tears of regrets and bitterness flew from her eyes. Yetunde started weeping in despair:

‘’I’m ruined’’ Disaster has befallen me!’’  

She was feed with bitterness, wailing for trouble has crept into her consistency. The flowers are killed off, no more jubilations in the squares.

She became a remnant due to the fierceness of Segun’s wrath without love again. No more love but war! The battle was terrible and merciless! The champion was at display of rights and privileges.

Will there be any rectification or second chance?

 The burden and troubles became too morose to bear for the weaker vessel woman and mother of Junior. No more excitement. The atmosphere was tense without any affection or compromise for any highflyer.

The tough woman grandma closed the iron-gates against the estranged Yetunde and her only son on that shady day. She threw them out furiously from the premises of The Land of Desire, littering them with heavy curses of agony in form of disgrace.

There is time for everything. When the fried beans-cake is fresh and hot; the seller will largely announced for patronage confidently with a pleasant voice. Even the buyers would be attracted by the scent or aroma of the bean-cakes!

But when the bean-cakes turned cold like the nose of dog, hardly will anybody be interested in picking-up the bean cake snacks for curtail or dinner any longer.

Yetunde’s time appeared ran-out with the Love seal  saga and the pushed off from the innocent villa by her beloved husband due to the aroused controversy of who is the real father of Junior?

 The genesis was sparked by the crises originated from the unsolicited troubled secret report delivered to Segun by Junior the only son of Yetunde.

Also, with the demise of Segun’s father whom left the world suddenly without any notice; coupled with the hostile attitudes been displayed by the mother-in-law and grandma. They have dis-owned Junior and his mother outright.

Who will then defend and make claim for the innocent boy of his birth rights and privileges?

No child without a father; only the identity may not be well defined immediately!

With enough patience, the eyes will sight the nose clearly. The odd behaviour of a vagabond-child would differentiate him from among the peers.

Only God will be in the best position to adjudge rightly the man that decided to divide the roasted meat for others using the inner teeth of the mouth instead of the sharp knife made available.

We have all mastered the tricks to putting a tasty meat inside the mouth and declared it missing instantly. There is no magic in such a pact again.

A hungry person may not be interested or ready to hear anything else again.

Whenever the devil decided to have a small child; No demon would stop him at all. But such a child will never bear a good name thereafter. That is double sure!

At the same time, no wrestle or fight can give birth to any innocent child….if not a club; it will be a sword or big blow!

Nobody will force a man to remove his clothes when a spark of fire got inside it by mistake, sloppiness, carelessness or sheer incompetence!

 It would be a sudden dance like afresh mad man about to enter the public-market inside the scorching sun.

The huge heritage of Segun’s father worth billions should not be shared among the few. The innocent child called Junior should not be deprived from having a portion no matter how small or otherwise it maybe.

The Blood should be thicker than water!

But Yetunde and her son are in the minority; so they were cowered out of the innocent villa like a stranger.

 Meanwhile, hopefully, the dead billionaire’s written will would indicate when ready!

Injustice to one should not be injustice to all!

Yetunde, the mother of Junior now at her wits’ end!

Unfortunately, that was how Madam Yetunde got out of the wed-lock without alimony. However, she became single mother with a multi- million Naira inside her bank account for spending!

Aftermath, she faced the peril of dishonesty and payback. The grief and pain became too difficult to banish. The consequences are too dire to be imagined on all down the line.

‘’The racing horse entered a gallop; gall-stones are offered as meal for the riders’’

And now that Yetunde was seriously at her wits’ end. What do you think she can do to get out of her present situation?

The most unfortunate aspect of this matter was not palatable for the breakaway woman any longer. All efforts by Yetunde to get married again failed woefully.

She could no longer experience any stable or lasting relationship as desired with any man once more.

What a pain in vain! Where is the outlet from the frustrated closet?

The last man Yetunde met and planned to get married to only moved with her for merely four months before they departed in the midst of very seriously ranked punching like that of Tyson!

 It was seriously a terrible matter that must be addressed on time!

What will be the atonement for the removal of the curses inflicted?

Who shall be held responsible for all the blames?

Can the spell be erased again?

The Love Seal by James Demeritus

[A True Life Story in Fiction]

Love like a toxic wine, when taken too much could lead to becoming a drunkard of it. That exactly was the experience of the love players inside the true life story in fiction titled: The Love Seal!

This is a must read story by anyone having anything to do with love or the love making games of life. We are all involved in Love affairs in one way or the other. In fact, everyone is a product of love whether good or bad.

In the story, ‘’The Love Seal’’ featured Yetunde, an orphan from Ikole- Ekiti town who was fortunate to meet Segun the bonfire son of a former Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. A highly notable, notorious, respected, prominent, wealthy politician and a comfortable billionaire based in the ancient city of Ibadan.

Nothing could resist the love Segun developed for the pretty Yetunde at first sight. He had an incomparable hot love for Yetunde and wanted her for deeper love relationship that will be uncompromised or shared by nobody under heaven. The love deal was with a seal that took some time and frantic efforts before it became approved, stamped and sealed.

You can’t resist him. But he was badly troubled when trying to get the love seal made possible in the midst of several oppositions and confrontations.

 Earlier, the unserious love-affairs that transparent between Segun and Yetunde became a reality eventually. The desperate lad of rich politician trickily trapped Yetunde in love seal and deveined her on the first day of visitation as an August guest with a ticket for wounds, pains and regrets.

Meanwhile, Segun’s father could not hold back his passionate affection for Yetunde,a pretty innocent undergraduate in one of the foremost Nigeria University. A good breeding is not pursuable.

Yetunde was raped by Segun’s father who by the single act turned The Love Seal of Segun for Beauty Yetunde into something else with the promise of inflicting care if the secret act could be a sealed deal forever! That was how the burning love between two soul-mates got burnt and soiled unknowingly.

What a great taboo and heinous crime? Both the father and son are eating inside the same soup pot of love unknowingly.

Unfortunately, Yetunde got pregnant by the politician but the bargain hooked and sealed Segun to be held responsible instead.

Eventually, Yetunde gave birth to Junior for Segun that resembled the father in-law like a duplicate. Thereafter, she was dashed with #100 Million Naira cash-gifts for hiding the truth against all odds and suspicions.

Meanwhile, if the garments on masquerade caught fire; face of the image inside will be identified. Although it may take time, the photographer will one day present the picture of captured images taken with the camera!

For how long will The Love Seal remain intact and unexposed, uncompromised or unsealed as promised by the lovely Yetunde?

When the forest of terror is set-ablaze; lion must not stay inside the den as the king.

Really, you are about to unveil one of the most complicated life experience. How the seal of love between Segun and Yetunde got broken and seriously damaged beyond repairs by mere oversight is the pad upon which the tale in The Love Seal rests.
