I woke up at dawn and saw my wife standing by the window, looking through it. I asked what she was looking at, and she said, “I heard a sound. It sounded like someone jumped over the wall.” I quickly got up and looked through the other window, scanning the surroundings to see if there…
We went to a programme, and out of nowhere, this lady rushed to my husband, opened her arms, and hugged him so tightly for close to a minute. I was bewildered, especially by my husband’s willingness to engage in such a sacrilegious act right in front of me and our five-year-old daughter. FOLLOW US ON…
A week before my wedding, a very good friend of mine called me. We were very good friends until she travelled abroad, where her parents and siblings were. She told me about her father’s house. She said no one lived in the house and wanted us to occupy it so we could take care of…
My wife is currently eight months pregnant with what doctors call a geriatric pregnancy, a high-risk pregnancy because she is over 40, and this experience has really changed the way I see pregnancy and the incredible sacrifices women make to bring life into the world.

He saved me twice—no, thrice. First from the rain, second from dying. The third is the reason I’m sharing this story. My boyfriend broke up with me after three years of dating. He was my everything. Even when I found out he had a girlfriend studying abroad and they were planning to get married, I…

Three months before my wedding, I got intimate with a lady I have known and seen around for years. It was a very casual kind of relationship, just the usual hi, hello, how are you doing, and sometimes a little joke here and there. But as life would have it, one day she came over,…
I bought her a bag, a pair of shoes, and some bangles as a gift. I ordered everything through a vendor who imports items from China. I joined the vendor’s group, went through their catalogue until I found the items I thought she’d love, paid for them, and then waited for almost two months for…
It was around 2006. I was sixteen years old, living with my mom and my younger sister. Dad was working in another town far from home. Mom travelled to where Dad was very often, so whenever she was going to visit him, she would send us to live with my aunt. Sometimes she would be…
