FICTION OR REAL SERIES-KARMA OR FATE?!

    I was barely 11 when this young man  walked into our sitting room and prostrated in front of my mum that evening. "Ahhh!!! Tosin bawo ni?(how are you?)" My mum questioned as she stood up to hug him. "Ku ojo meta,bawo ni nkan? (Longtime,how is everything?)" She continued. "Fine ma" he replied. "Ana!" My mum called as she used her hand to signal to me to come cos I was sitting at the other end of the sitting room. I walked towards her and I knelt down(Yoruba culture) to greet this young man. "Good evening sir" I greeted. He should be in his "late twenties/early thirties" with his looks I thought. "How are you my dear?" He responded as he drew me up with his hand and bent down to give me a warm hug. "Do you know him?" Mum asked. "No mum" I replied. "This is Tosin my cousin" she said as she pointed at him. "OK mum" I replied as I shyishly smiled and looked at his face. He sat down on the sofa as me and mum went into the kitchen to prepare dinner. It was time to eat and dad told me to invite him to the dinning to have dinner with the family.
   At around 9:00 that night he left and since that time,we became fond of him. Yaaaayyy!!! Uncle T is around as me and my younger ones will run towards him and jump on him anytime he comes to our house. This continued for months until one day when mum called him to come around cos she was to go shopping. Mum told him she would leave us at home and didn't want us to be all alone at home. So,she invited him to come and keep our company till she came back. Mum left and Uncle T came in about 30minutes later. Yaaaaayy!!! Uncle T is around I announced as my younger ones came out and we all jumped on him as usual. He came in and sat down,as I went back to the TV where I was seeing a movie. "Ana!" he called as I sluggishly stood up "Ooooohhhh! Not again. Why is Uncle Tosin disturbing me now again? I hope he doesn't want me to dish him food?" I thought as I paused the movie and moved towards him. The movie was a very interesting one and couldn't afford to miss a scene. "Go and get me a glass of water" he said. "I knew it!" I thought as I reluctantly stood up and picked up the remote to pause the movie I was watching. "This uncle sef and his wahala..he likes disturbing someone" I murmured to myself as I sluggishly walked to the kitchen. But as I walked to the kitchen,I noticed someone was following me. "Its one of my siblings" I thought and entered the kitchen. At this point,I decided to look back and guess who I saw? It was Uncle Tosin. "Ah ah why did you follow me?" I asked as he moved closer and held my head tight as he started kissing me.....yuck!!!

FICTION OR REAL SERIES-LOVE or LUST (4)

    Ella's heart almost jumped out of her chest as she read the line "I'll def dump Ella for Charlotte". She felt "Oh,no! Not again!" but what could she do? Ray has chosen Charlotte over her. As usual,Raymond came with his gimmicks to talk Ella into not leaving him by cooking unimaginable lies you can't but believe. "Sorry,not this time!" Ella told him bluntly. At this point,he felt he had lost it with her. Their communication deriorated as Ella felt close to nothing for him anymore. He would go days without talking to her which worsened into weeks. He would go 2weeks without saying a word then come back to give flimsy excuses.
   Their communication break continued for two months,by this time,she met this handsome,Channing Tatum, 6ft. tall,chocolatey guy. They became good friends and became so fond of each other,their friendship waxed stronger as they couldn't spare 3hours without ringing themselves on phone. Raymond on the other end came begging,he already understood that there was a huge difference between "concussion and jollof rice". Mr perfect(Ella's newly found friend) started giving getting married to Ella a thought. Raymond realised he had chosen wrongly cos he found out Charlotte had moved over him to a "bigger boy". Raymond is everything she wants in her man except for the fact that he lied to her and toyed with her heart. He's back on track and ready to stay faithful with Ella.
     Raymond visited Ella one evening but she won't let him in. He pleaded with her but refused and he left. Mr perfect is nursing his intention of marrying Ella and still doesn't want to be too forward but Raymond keeps coming back on his knees and assuring her of his love and is ready to take her to the altar. It was at this point she realised a part of her still loves Ray.
     It was a Saturday afternoon around 1:00pm,Ella's phone rang. "Hello,Josh!" "Yeah,how are you? What are you up to later today?" Josh(her newly found Mr perfect) asked. "I'll be home" Ella replied. "Can we have a nice time at the beach by four,please?" He asked. Ella chuckled and gave it a thought for about 10seconds and gave him an answer "Yes!". "Oh! Thank you. I'll be at your place by 3:30" he told her. The call ended then she heard a ring at the door;she rushed to the door and met Raymond. "Hi" he greeted "Hi" she replied. "Yes,what can I do you for?" She asked with a harsh tone. "I'm sorry if I disturbed you but please can we meet at Dauber's restaurant by 4:00?" He asked politely. "No,I have a date for 4:00 also" she replied immediately. "Ok,7:00?" He insisted politely with a smile on one end of his cheek. "K, 7:00" she replied. "Thanks,see you by 7:00" he said as he left the door and walked away. She stood there for about 30seconds thinking about him before she slammed the door behind her and leaned against the door. "No! No! No! Not with this monster she said to herself. No more feelings for him. I gotta get set for my date" she said to herself.
   It was 3:30 already and Josh rang her door bell. "Who's it? I'll be there soon" Ella announced. She opened her door and met a flower and a card inscripted on it was "I LOVE YOU" at the door step. "Its Ray again" she said to herself as she picked it up and hissed then threw it on the sofa. At 3:35,Josh came in and they both headed to the beach at about 3:50. At the beach,they talked,laughed,ate and took pictures together. As they walked towards the sea,Josh spotted a bottle tucked into the sand and pointed at it. He told Ella to go pick it up. She picked it and inscripted on it was "Check the paper inside the bottle". She looked at Josh's face and looked worried as Josh nodded,indicating she should check the paper out. She turned the bottle upside down and the paper fell out. She opened it to read and what did she see? "Ella,its been few months with you but seems like ages. I've loved you from the very first day and have chosen you among all to spend the rest of my life with you. Please,will you marry me?" She read this note with tears and smiles on her face. After reading the note she looked down and met Josh on his knees.
If you were Ella,what will be your reply?
See you tomorrow..............
Lemme stroll down the street to get bread....LOL

   At the door, Nicky met the WANTED(Raymond). "Hey!" Nicky greeted him  "Hi. How are you? What of Ella?" He questioned all together. "I'm good. There she is!" As she pointed towards one end of the living room. He walked in with a friend of his. "Hi!" Noël greeted with a hand gesture, "Hi" Nic replied as she shut the door after him. Immediately Ella saw Ray,she put her face away and made for her phone on the stool sitting beside the couch where she sat. She picked up the phone and started scrolling acting like she didn't notice his presence. As he walked towards where she sat,he became more scared not knowing what Ella's action would look like. "Ella?" he called in a soft tone as he got to her side and made for his knees. "Yes? How may I help you? Get away! I hate you,you monster!" As she yelled at him. "Ella please hear me out" he said as he muttered;still on his knees. "I met her(referring to his so-called ex) on my way home and we stopped to talk as she trickishly asked to check out my new phone,only to see her moving away as she scrolled down to check my last call. I tried to collect the phone from her but she ran faster. She saw your number and I didn't know what to do again,before I could say anything,she had already made her way to the other side of the road then dialled your number. She immediately threw my phone at me after talking to you and waved down a cab then popped in as the cab zoomed off" he explained. "I became so confused cos I didn't know what she told you. I was scared of calling cos I know you wouldn't want to listen to anything I have to say on phone" he continued. "Baby,I'm sorry" he muttered as he burst into tears not minding the presence of Nic and Noël his friend. "I'm sorry Elle. I love you and won't trade you for anything. She(referring to his ex) is my past and I'm over her but she won't stop coming after me,she's desperate and wants me back at all cost. I'm here for you babe, I'm going nowhere" he continued as he held on to her(Ella).
   After he made a lot of promises,she gave him her word. "I don't want to hear of this girl,never again. I don't want to see her around" she said with all seriousness on her face. Their romance waxed stronger by the day until 4months after when something happened. It was an evening when Raymond was chatting with his friend,Noël on BBM and was chatting with Ella at the same time. Noël asked Ray "Who would you dump for the other between Ella and Charlotte (his so called ex)"? As Ray received the message,he smiled and immediately replied. He typed "I'll def dump Ella for Charlotte" and sent. The ping indicated that it has been delivered so,he checked and got the shocker of his life. He mistakenly sent the message to Ella and not Noël.......

FICTION OR REAL SERIES- LOVE or LUST (2)

It was Raymond's number calling "Hello dear!" Ella answered as she picked up the phone. "Hello!" The caller replied (it was a females voice she heard). She looked at the screen again to be sure it was Raymond's number (what could be wrong with him? But he just left my place 30 minutes ago....she wondered. Could he be in danger? Why is it someone else that's talking and not him or could it be some network ish? She became more worried). The caller quickly replied "Did I just hear you say "Hello dear"? She questioned Ella. At this point, Ella was forced to ask "Who is this please"? "Yeah,its me Raymond's girlfriend" and before Ella could say Jack Robinson, the caller continued " please I want you to end any form of friendship or relationship you have with Raymond" . Ella became weak immediately and all she could say was "OK". I have never been this embarrassed and humiliated my whole life....she thought and immediately swore never to have anything to do with Raymond again. Where she was soliloquizing,she didn't realise somebody had entered her room. "Babes! Why are you talking to yourself"? Her friend (Nicky) asked "Hmmm...nothing" Ella replied. "C'mon girl! When did you start keeping things from me? Tell me! Who is making you sad? You couldn't have been talking and yourself and didn't even realise my presence as I came in if nothing is wrong. Talk to me! Who is it? Is it Raymond?" Nicky insisted. "Hmmm...yes,its Ray" Ella answered as she burst into tears like a car engine that had just been ignited.
"Sorry dear" Nicky consoled her as she patted her on the back and reached for her handbag and drew out an handkerchief to wipe tears off her face. "Stop crying,its okay. BTW(by the way),what exactly did Ray do?" Nicky continued. "Its his girlfriend that called me,whereas Ray denied not having a girlfriend that he called it quits with this girl 5months ago. Now,I received a call from this same girl with his number who was telling me leave her boyfriend alone. Nicky,I have never been this embarrassed and humiliated my whole life" Ella explained further as she cried harder.

"Jeez! What da heck is wrong with Ray? Why would he allow you to experience such humiliation? Sorry hon,you are a strong girl. So,don't accept defeat. After all,the girl might just be one of those side chicks that are jealous of you and are trying everything to rip you both apart cos Raymond doesn't look like a player" Nicky consoled. "I got a plan. Let's give him a call to know what happened" Nicky suggested. "Not with my phone" Ella responded. "Okay,I understand you don't need to speak with him. I'll do the talking. You just hand me over the phone"  Nicky suggested further.
   Ray's phone rang and he picked up "Ella?" he called  "Its Nicky" she replied "Nicky, please where is Ella?" Ray questioned "She's here with me. And who was that girl who pulled that stunt? Nicky sounded harsh this time. "Nic please I can't explain all on phone now. Where are you girls?" Ray asked as he spoke with a shaky voice. "We are in Ella's place" Nicky replied. "OK. I'll be there in a bit but please don't tell Ella I'm coming over" Ray pleaded.
    Five minutes later, the door bell rang and Nicky rushed down to the door to check who it was. Lo and behold! It was.......

LOVE or LUST??? (1)

    Ella (not real name)was beautiful and pleasing to the eyes ( she had a long and dark hair,dark eyes, of average height and always wears this contagious smile). She was loved by a lot of people who came across her except those who had bitter leaf water running through their veins, as she was very homely and accommodating(she was every man's dream woman). Her love for children grew by the day as she had always dreamt of carrying her own child someday.

   THE GENESIS
     Ella was on the island(Lagos) as usual to run errands for her mum during the weekends when she met this "Hello,Hi" friend of hers(Raymond). She met him in her first year in the university during registration and since then,its been
     "Hi, how are you?"
     "I'm fine. And you?"
     "I'm good"
and they'll go their separate ways. Its been like that anytime they meet on campus for 4 years now.
   This time around,they are meeting for the first time outside the four walls of the university. She saw him first and was like
    "Hey,you!" He lifts his head up to see who was trying to catch his attention and to his greatest surprise,its Ella. "Oh,you!" He replied! "How are you"? He continued. "I'm fine and you"? Ella said. "So,you live in Lagos"? Raymond asked. "Yes ooo!" She answered. "And how are you enjoying this compulsory break of yours"? (She meant strike as their school at that time was on strike due to the riot that occurred earlier in their school) "Oh! You mean the strike"? He chuckled "Yes nau" she replied. "I'm trying my best to catch my fun all around. In fact I just came back from Ibadan recently" Raymond said again. "So,what have you come to do here"? Ella asked "I came with my cousin to pick up some things in the market" Raymond replied. After a long chat,they exchanged BBM pins and left.
   He sent her a request later that evening,she accepted the request and they got chatting. A week later,he started making advances by asking questions like "How is your boyfriend"? She told him she had none but later explained she was into one but that relationship was at the verge of breakingup. He then said he had none too cos his ex whom he dated for 3years cheated on him and eventually contracted STD which after she complained of some symptoms and he took her to see a doc,she had toilet infection,as they call it. So,she later confessed to him that she had an affair(unprotected) with a guy somewhere,he explained further on chat to Ella. "Hmmmmm" she took a deep sigh  as his story sounded like something cooked up together since she knew where exactly he was going. "Guys and shifting blames. You all are the same!" Ella said "I hope it is true,tho" she continued.
    Two days later,he started the "I love you,please be my girl syndrome" she refused and kept saying NO and the struggle was on for about 3 months when she eventually agreed to start something SWEET with him. Two weeks after their(Ella and Raymond) love affair began, she received a call;something happened.

VANITY!!!

I  vividly Recall d story of a man who became popular for engaging in money rituals just to buy the 80's edition of the Honda Prelude. U wouldn't buy that car for 50k today. Some other guy brutally murdered his brother ( whom their father gave cash 2 travel 4 the purpose of re- stocking their warehouse), just 'cos he wanted 2 acquire the rave of the moment - Pathfinder Jeep. That same vehicle is now better described as a coffin. I Remember as a kid, my whole street gathered to watch a truck deliver a very large satellite dish to my neighbour's house. Today a dish one tenth that size delivers 5 times the value and is in almost every student's room. What about the Volkswagen Santana, Mercedes Benz V boot, 505 Evolution, Toyota Crown, all overtaken by latest models of Camry, Honda, Bugatti, Bentley, X6, Acura and Infinity.... Vanity! Some ladies left their true loves cos some rich guy then persuaded them with a Benz 190, which turned out 2 be the only car they ever owned till date. They found out too late that true love is invaluable. A friend declared drinks because he launched the Nokia Communicator for over hundred grand in 2002. Today that phone would embarrass the owner and is a joke compared to the low cost and everyday phone. What about d MTN sim card dat many people went extra miles b4 dey bought for over 30k, today u will not buy it at N100 bcos all networks are begging people to even take it for free. People are still making the most horrific sacrifices over 'vanity' and make enemies over worthless material things. What can I Say? Look back at that one thing you want to kill or die for today and see what becomes of it tomorrow. There is absolutely nothing u can't achieve, all u need is a little time and PATIENCE and u would thank God without regrets....
Bless!!!

How to build a happy and peaceful home (MUST READ FOR MEN)

Saw this somewhere..This lady said her dad told her brother these wise words and every guy out there needs to read this ..I agree especially no 5 and 6,tho.... lol

1.My son, if you keep spending on a woman and she never asked you if you’re saving or investing, and she keeps enjoying the attention, don’t marry her.

2. My son, a woman could be a good wife to you, some could be a good mother to your children but if you’ve found a woman like a mother to you, your children and your family, please don’t let her go.

3. My son, don’t confine the position of your wife to the kitchen, where did you get that from? Even in our days, we had farm-lands where they worked every morning . . . that was our office.

4. My son, if I tell you that you’re the head of the house, don’t look at your pocket; look if you will see a smile on your wife’s face.

5. My son, if you want to have a long life, let your wife be in-charge of your salary, it will be difficult for her to spend it when she’s aware of the home needs and bills to pay but if it’s in your care, she will keep you asking even when all has been spent.

6. My son, don’t ever beat your woman, the pain in her body is nothing to be compared to the wound on her heart and that means you may be in trouble living with a wounded woman.

7. My son, now that you’re married, if you live a bachelor kind of life with your wife, you will soon be single again.

8. My son, in our days, we had many wives and many children because of our large farm-lands and many harvests, there are hardly any land for farming anymore, so embrace your woman closely.

9. My son, under the cocoa tree that I did meet your mother could be your eateries and restaurants of nowadays, but remember, the closet thing we did there was to embrace each other.

10. My son, don’t be carried away when you start making more money, instead of spending on those tiny legs that never knew how hard you worked to get it, spend it on that woman that stood by you all along.

11. My son, when I threw little stones or whistled at the window of your mother father’s house, to call her out, it was not for sex, i was because I missed her so much.
