THE DENIAL... Written by E PLUS The Storyteller.    


"Hmmm! I hear you! Which pikin, abegi! Dis one wey you dey look me like dis, e shock you? Me o! I am not ready to raise any child I did not father!" Balogun lamented as he tried to push away his girlfriend, Tokunbo who held on to hiim, as she knelt down, by his side with tears profusely pouring from her eyes.

"Please nau! Balogun! Don't do this to me... You, and I know that you are responsible for dis pregnancy." Tokunbo cried.

"You, and who? Abeg, abeg! No let me change am for you o! What do you mean by all this rubbish talk?" Balogun continued to lament, as he pushed Tokunbo away.

"So, this is it? Just like that? You are denying everything we ever had, and did together! Balogun!" Tokunbo lamented.

"Jor o! Stop shouting my name like dat, Jare! Which thing have we been doing together? Simple caution you cannot apply! Every little thing, you blame it on Balogun. Are you the first lady to have ever slept with a man? Abeg, free me, jor! You better go and look else where for the father of that thing in your stomach!" Balogun stressed further, as he walked away.

         These were the very words that left Tokunbo broken hearted, rejected and lost. She could hardly wrap her head around the reality that stared at her, in the face. For years, Tokunbo had built her hope, and expectations on the relationship she had with Balogun, considering that he had never given her any reason to doubt his commitment towards her, however things went 'south' after she discovered that she had 'taken in' for him. By, and By Tokunbo managed to pull herself together until she was able to find her feet. She had acquired various degrees, and skills, which enabled her advance in various fields, Tokunbo had it all going for her, and was quite grateful to God for the favours she encountered, and this also rubbed off, on her beautiful daughter, Esther.

Esther had grown up to be the envy of every parent. She was the perfect child, any parent could pray for. Respectful, diligent, and focused. Little wonder, she rose to the peak of her career, as she had won the heart of her employers. Simultaneously, Esther caught the eyes of one of the legible bachelors at work, Princewill(The son of a prominent Engineer). After a year of seeing each other, Princewill decided to take their relationship to the next level.

"So, what do you have to say, madam?" Princewill teased Esther, during the conversation he had with her, about seeing her parents.

"Hmmmm! Can you just give us more time?" Esther responded.

"More time? Come on Esther! One year already... and what's more? It's enough  time to see your parents. Please, let me do the honourable thing. I want to make this official." Princewill said.

     Esther remained still for a while, and just stared on....

  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 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
