TGIF Means …

I saw this in a department store and chuckled to myself.  I thought “TGIF” meant “Thank God It’s Friday,” but apparently, it can mean more than one thing.

In less than 40 minutes, the SUV had pulled into an impressive, but modest two-storey house on Okpannam road.  Her uncle, Chief Alozie was not at home when they got back, but her cousins, Amaka and Chikodi were.

With just two years between them, they could pass for twins.  They looked so alike, but they were very different.  read more…

With Love From Asaba: Part 1

It’s a brand new week! I hope you had a restful weekend.  I certainly did. 🙂

Today, I’ll share the first part of a new story series with you guys.  It’s called “With Love From Asaba” and it is set in … Wait for it …. Asaba, Delta State.

It is one thing to be cheated and know it, but it is another thing to be cheated and not know it. Nene Alozie had been cheated of a husband and his name was Paul. It did not matter that they were just dating when they parted ways.  She knew they were headed for the altar.  read more…

“Ah, Seni, Seni, oya come and sit here.  Oya come now-ow …” he said, patting a spot beside him on her own bed.

The look on her face said, “Get out now!” but she obeyed.  Mentally, she added locking her room to the list of life-changing decisions she planned to make before she turned 21.    It was right up there with threading her eyebrows. read more…

He came home briefly to drop his traveling bag and pick up some other items.  It was the same navy blue traveling bag that Seni herself had used whenever she returned to school at Meiran after holidays.  She knew that Dele would be going to Boye’s house, for the mini get-together to celebrate his birthday.  She decided that it was better to tell him about Boye’s advances before he left for that party.

As it turned out, her timing was totally off. read more…

Shine Your Eye: Part 3

Yes, I know it’s long overdue and I said I would and …. and ….

I’m sorry.

The End.

Okay, not quite.

I finally finished editing and putting it together, so there’ll be no more gaps.  The other parts will be up on Thursday and Friday.  Seriously.

And I wanted to share the book cover with you.  Like it?  Hate it?  Don’t think it fits the story? Was that the Veronica you pictured in your mind? Share your thoughts either way.

Enough blabbing.  Here’s the book cover, followed by Part 3.  Enjoy!

Seni did not hear anything else about Veronica from Dele’s lips.  It was as if he deliberately avoided mentioning her name in Seni’s presence.  She began to second-guess herself.

Maybe she shouldn’t have told Dele anything.

But how do you stand by and watch a person you love get hurt?

As yet, Veronica had not done anything to hurt Dele, but Seni knew it was coming. She was still wondering about this one evening, a few weeks after the “Vero-inspired” conversation she had had with Dele.  She was completing the last leg of her journey home from JAMB lessons by foot.  When she was within two minutes of the house, she decided, on an impulse, to go and visit her friend, Nancy.  It was Friday, and even though she knew that she had to study over the weekend, she also knew that her parents were less strict with their “you-must-study-everyday” rule on Fridays compared to other days.  Her spur-of-the-moment plan was to go and borrow a few movies from Nancy and watch them over the weekend. read more…
