My Dear I want to believe that you have performed your God-given duties as a mother by bringing up your daughter with the right set of values. I sincerely hope your daughter did not learn that it’s ok to get involved with a married man from you. You may not know this, but, children are influenced by the actions of their parents more than their words. In most cases, the young ones just copy what they see. I would advise you to call your daughter privately and let her know that she is bringing the family name to disrepute and…

It still rang in my head; it had replaced the sound of sirens from when mum died in 2008. I sat at the backseat strapped in with my seatbelt when the car somersaulted over the cargo trailer, I still sat still inside the car that had now turned upside down; crying when flashes of blue and yellows lights lit up the dark ‘Pipe road’ Ibadan Nigeria. I watched them rush up to me and pull me out and then move to mum, but, mum was motionless and they put her on top a rectangular stretcher, they put us in different…

Reading 1 Jeremiah 26:11-16,24 The priests and prophets said to the princes and to all the people, “This man deserves death; he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your own ears.” Jeremiah gave this answer to the princes and all the people: “It was the LORD who sent me to prophesy against this house and city all that you have heard. Now, therefore, reform your ways and your deeds; listen to the voice of the LORD your God, so that the LORD will repent of the evil with which he threatens you. As for me, I…
Do not cry when I’m gone, keep my ink flowing and the words of my letters speaking forever. Do not cry when I’m gone, a poor lad who has seen the good and the bad pleading for the salvation of his soul. Do not cry when I’m gone, when my journey has ended, and I have fulfilled my destiny and calling, I will then transit to answer a higher calling. Do not cry when I’m gone, cry for a helpless kid or mother in the slums who need helpers and Guardian Angels, as for me, in peace, I will sleep, for eternity.…

I was barely ten years old when my mother died.…
