I need not say more, all other days that followed were full of press briefings, interviews and more interviews.
 Hmmm...to say the least, I was really exhausted, however my life had started taking shape again.
 It really felt good to be free again. I had turned from being a 'victim' to a 'victor'! The entire experience left me pondering on so many realities.
 After the entire case was resolved, I returned home, reunited with my parents and tried to see what next.
 I missed my little room. As I laid on my bed, I remembered the stuff that elderly woman gave me.
 I hurried opened my bag and brought it out. I unwrapped it and I saw a small praying note hand written.
 Each page had specific prayer points. At the end of each, was written: God is in control, just follow him!. This has never left my side for a moment till date. I slowly slipped back the note in my hand bag. The next day I decided to pay Kunle a courtesy visit, at least to appreciate him for everything thus far.
 As I stepped out of the house, guess who was at the door!!?
 Yea! You guessed right. It was victor.
 I just starred at him for a while but no word.
 "Let's just get married tomorrow" He said.
I thought for a while, maybe if it were some months back, this request would have been granted but trust me that was the last thing I needed!
********************
 It's three years since the entire drama of my life happened and I'm much grown now. I see things differently. My priorities are in place and I'm doing well overall. Though Sade wants me to come over to the states where she relocated(Remember Sade!?), naaa! I rather make the best of where I am.
Did I get married to Victor? No! and please don't ask me why. What matters most is that I'm verry happy😃😃😃

  GREEN LAND... Written by E PLUS The Storyteller. "You should have seen the way chief was looking at me last night? Emini said with so much delight. "Eh ehn! Like seriously? But...wait ooo what about his Olori?" Sofunmi replied.   For a moment, Emini became quite upset, and she faced the other way.  "What kind of useless question is that?  I'm I the Olori's keeper? Is it my fault that her husband's eyes caught mine? Jor o!" Emini snapped.  "Oya nau! Pele!(Sorry), mabinu oremi, jor!(Don't be upset my friend, please)." "Hmmm!

The Wailing Creatures  W ritten by Sumayyah Oluwafunbi Ogunsola     With a big smile on and shiny gleaming teeth plastered on my sweaty face, I step inside the dusty building with the big bold inscription: ‘ WELCOME TO THE ZOO!’  As I walk around with my black heels making a pit-pat, click-clack sound, my eager brown irises get locked in a trance with the brownish red Hawaiian bird. The bird’s fluffy feathers gently ruffles, and his sad eyes stare at mine. ’13 YEARS OLD’ the sign on the cage says. I take a deep, heavy breath and trudge forward.           “Oooh!” the wail of a mama chimpanzee reaches my sensitive ears, causing my skin to have a minute goosebumps.    Heartbreaking scene of a mother chimpanzee and her child in black, rusted chains and anguished expressions on their faces, permanently etches itself in my head. ‘MOTHER: 29. BABY: 4’ sign, displays.           My white eyeballs blur ...

That’s NOT my father! Sumayyah Oluwafunbi Ogunsola

      That’s NOT my Father!       Sumayyah Oluwafunbi  Ogunsola              It’s a bleak, dark late evening accompanied by torrent of rain and the howling of the wind; the power is out. My father and I sit down in the parlour, looking at each other and sighing in disappointment, as our fun day out was ruined. I glance at our pet cat, Tata, to see that she is fast asleep.               Exasperated, my father launches himself on the sofa and says to me, “I am going to get Starbucks. Wait for me.” Worried, I respond “In the rain, and at this time, dad? You have heard how dangerous people lurk in the cloak of darkness...” He cuts me off. Tells me there is nothing to worry about and that he would be back soon, after all, 'he is just going to Starbucks, right?' I shut the door behind him. 10 minutes. 15 minute… Tick tock...
