DEAR MOTHER
MY HUSBAND JUST...
   (The cry of an ABUSED WOMAN)
Written by E PLUS The Storyteller.



As I lay on my bed, my heart is filled with so many thoughts and uncertainty.

So many things you've said to me that seems to make a whole lot of sense now. As i reflect, it all seems like yesterday, when you sat next to me.

Hmmm! Your motherly fragrance!

How can I forget?......It never fails to register its unique presence.

Your kind words!

Your exceptional gesture!

Your ever giving heart!

How can I forget!?

On the eve of my wedding, you gave me your precious ornament and asked me to guard it with jealousy.

You said it was a precious gift, handed down to you by your mother, my grandmother. As I lay on my bed now, I watch it as it flows from side to side above my standing mirror.

This is sure one thing that gives me hope because it reminds me of your unrivaled virtue, yet my heart is a far cry from what my eyes conceive.

More often than not, I think life has been very unkind to me, else how can one explain how a man like my husband could be treating me like some trash!

He even beats me to stupor on very many occasions.

Mother! Oh! Mother! This is one part of the story you never told me about!

You never told me that a woman could be used as a punching bag in her own matrimonial home!

Growing up, I saw father, treat you like an egg that mustn't be dropped, yet all I see is doom! Pain and even more pain in my so called matrimonial home..

My Husband has gone out again, and as usual getting drunk amidst friends, while I lay on this bed bearing pains from heavy bruises of the previous night. Worse still, I just lost a seven months old pregnancy, a pregnancy I had waited for seven years!

Dear Mother, expect me home, soon because my bags are parked, and I am ready to return. However, today marks the end of me, being addressed as 'Mrs'. 

I have carefully prepared the most sumptuous pounded Yam, and Afang soup with plenty of isang(periwinkle) for him, and while I lay on the bed, still writing you this letter, I hear him open the Door. He just staggered towards the dining and I hear him open the food.

Dear Mother....My Husband just ate his last meal here on earth!😱

DEAR MOTHER
MY HUSBAND JUST...

  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! Ko si wahala (No problem) meanwhile, what is this rumour that we are hearing about GREEN LAND?" Emini responded. "Oremi, if I tell you that I understand, I will be lying to you." Sofunmi exclaimed. "Hmmm.. this is serious o! So very soon, this oyibo people will take over our small community?" Emini exclaimed further. "Na so o! Not only that o .. they will turn this small communit

The Wailing Creatures Written by Sumayyah Oluwafunbi Ogunsola

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 as I get teary-eyed with my heart throbbing in my chest. The ground suddenly rumbles and

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! Tick tock!  I get irritated as an hour has passed since dad left the house. My hand trembling, I am about to dial the emergency number, when... Bang! Ba
