Bonus chapter [Niyi 3]
The music 'There is fire on the mountain' by a popular Nigerian musician emanated from the compact disc player in my car. I sang along furiously. I was angry, very angry at the federal government of Nigeria. I switched off the disc player and increased the volume of the radio. An angry voice could be heard.
"The police that are meant to be protecting the citizens of the country are the ones molesting us and causing us harms. Imagine, they were even shooting at the youths during yesterday's peaceful protest. So many life's were lost yesterday. Yet the government has not done anything about it, what is happening in Nigeria?" The feminine voice asked the radio presenter.
I tightened my fist in anger, watching all those videos of how the so called police treated the youths of this country.
Absolute rubbish.
"I understand you, I clearly understand y

A low music could be heard playing at the background as I walked around the gym. The weather was a bit chilly, that explains why the gym wasn't full today. I could count the people that were in, just about seven to ten, males in particular. The females probably won't come in not until noon.Like the mini eatery down the street, I own and manage this small gym too, it is not large, neither does it have any touch of sophistication but I have great plans for it. I have the intentions of making it more big and equipped than this.As usual, following my daily routine. I was here for my usual morning check in. I walked round the gym step by step with my both hands in the pocket of my grey joggers. The smell of the lavender air freshener I bought at the store the previous month lingered round the gym. I sniffed and inhaled deeply in appreciation. The smell was welcoming, it will definitely cover up the smell of sweats cause it was really stro

I was glad the eatery wasn't that crowded when I got there with Alma. I ignored the stares, I bet my staffs were curious to know the identity of the lady beside me, another topic for their discussions and gossips during closing hours. I walked in, hand in hand with Alma, I led her directly to my small office.The office was not that big, but it sure had an official look. It was neat as I made sure the cleaners took proper care of it. A opened log book could be found on the desk, the walls of the office were painted white with large black polka dots on it. The white drapes at the window contrasted well with it. A water dispenser was placed at the right corner of the room. I sat on the desk and made Alma have her sit on my own chair, instead of the one meant for the guests. We sat in silence for a few minutes. The rattling sound of the AC was the only thing that could be heard.Alma Blossom was the first w

Three weeks later.The chirps of the morning birds making their usual sounds roused me up from sleep. I rose up and padded barefooted to the bathroom to relieve myself. My ears perked up as I heard a loud knock on my door."An early Saturday morning." I muttered under my breath, as I wasn't expecting any guests today except for my girl friend Alma Blossoms. Yes, I and Alma started dating some weeks back and it has been going on well."who is there?" I asked, raising my voice a little bit higher as I walked shirtless to the sitting room, I proceeded to open the door gently without confirming who it was."Nancy!" I exclaimed staring at the short woman in a black fitted body con gown."What are you doing here? " I asked, trying not to look at her cleavage."I came to check up on you. Anything bad in that?" she asked, pushing the door wide

The day was beautiful, the weather was perfect for an outing, the sun was shinning bright and the sky looked beautiful, the white clouds were drifting into the blue clouds, forming different lovely shapes, firstly I pictured a shape as a puppy, then it drifted again and formed a boat like shape that looked a little bit like a bungalow then suddenly it dispersed like a mist, forming the shape of an hunter or was it a street light.I blinked my eyes rapidly, looking away from the sky, it was like the clouds was playing pranks with me, guess our shapes. I brought out my iPhone and took a three different pictures of the beautiful sky. I scrolled over to my Instagram page, not hesitating to upload the pictures I took, I added a caption which says 'Just take a look at nature'Today I and Alma made plans to go visit my mum and after that we could go visit her family. It was kind of funny to me and I'm sure it will

Time flies they say, and I totally understand why. Now adays, night descends with no warning. Friday came too soon than I thought. The year is coming to end in haste. Today was scheduled as specially as a day to visit Alma's family. I wasn't a bit nervous. I was rather eager, the kind of 'Let's just get this thing done' type of eagerness.I wiped of the beads of sweat forming on my forehead as I zoomed into the magnificent compound of Alma's family house. I could notice a bit of excitement from Alma as she waved to the gateman. Alma led me to a spacious room with rich furnishings, a portable beverage table with walls of books."Stay here, let me go inform my family." Alma said softly, smiling at me."Okay, baby." I replied winking.I sat on a leather chair as Alma exited the room, I reclined on the seat, looking around the room. Pictures could be seen hanging on the walls, the corner of m

With today being a Saturday, Alma came to spend sometime with me. One thing I noticed was that she has been extra touchy, she wants to be cuddled, spooned and kissed. I personally don't see it as a big deal since everyone knows us as candidates for the altar.But I'm just kind of shocked, Alma has been hammering on the no sex before marriage and I have been respecting her decision, I don't lead us through anything that might lead to sex, but right now she was making things more difficult for us, me most especially. I have got needs, manly needs. I have been celibate for months and just a slight push will resort into hours of love making, which we have both been avoiding.We were both sitting on a long plush three seater sofa, watching a football match between Barcelona and Chelsea. Alma was seated in between my legs, with her hands caressing my bare chest. I sighed heavily as she kept making movements that were arousing me. I felt she was doing this intentionally

Finally she was going to be mine, the wedding bells has been resounding since the moment I asked Alma to marry me and she said Yes, she freaking said yes. I don't think I have ever been this happy before. Today was like the happiest day of my life. I smiled at my grooms men and they gave me a salute wave. I was standing right in front of the altar, waiting patiently for my bride to be, Alma.I looked around the large church, rolls of chair were placed orderly and the different kinds of lightenings placed at different corners of the church illuminated the hall, giving it a kind of peaceful aura. Suddenly the keyboardist played a tune, I looked back and my gaze met with that of my wife to be. She was walking down the aisle with her brother.I smiled at her, I got myself a priceless woman. One who wasn't ashamed of her brother's condition. I was expecting her uncle or someone else to walk her down the aisle, but she am

HadizaThe half Nigerian moon in the clear blue sky illuminated the bed room with its light. The shadow of the Mango tree and the tall straight pawpaw tree in the compound can be seen looking monstrous on the walls.I sighed heavily as I watched my husband sleep. My dear husband, the man whom I fell in love with sleeping at the edge of our bed.I never imagined my wedding night to be a lonely one, what about my dreams of being in the hands of the one who I love.I folded myself up on my side of the bed like a question mark without a dot.This marriage is a sham, maybe a legal sham.
