HIM I was distracted and in traffic when I heard that there were heavy rains throughout the country. To be honest I never really felt it when it happened across the various parts of the country. But it got me thinking to some sort. A lot of queries actually, “were you out having a pint?…

Belle 3 – Never Enough.
Previously on: Belle-2-The-Reception Fraser Suites, Leventis Close, Central Business District, Abuja. 2030 Hours. I have been pacing back and forth in the sitting area for a couple of minutes. I’m supposed to be relaxed but I’m not. I have Rosemary’s business card on my hand, wondering whether I should call or not. The room I…
Belle 2 – The Reception
Previously on: Belle Cunningham Marquee, Garki Area 8, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. The reception hall in Cunningham Marquee is stunning, it is among the premier party venues. It is among the top three beloved wedding venues in Abuja. The banquet style tables in the large establishment could accommodate just about 1500 people . I appreciated…
Belle.
Ifesinachi Transport Booking Office, Jabi Central Bus Station, Phase 2, Abuja. June 18th 2012, 2130 hours. It was a chilly Monday evening. I had arrived earlier than the stipulated time.

Svala.
I have never been a fan of Biblical names. Nope. Not at all. They leave one with a certain heaviness rolling from the tongue. For instance the name Rehoboam or Jehozika. Some names are cool, others are not. I created Svala yesterday. A few minutes before midnight. When I was deep in some sort of…
Water-Bender.
“Why are you late this evening?” I have to confess that I was left by the bus. You are probably wondering where the hell I was till the bus left me. A few years back when I was in campus, I used to commute for classes between town and some place called Thogoto. Honestly, I…
#56 – Manman.
Manman, it has been three years since you left. Happy belated 56th birthday if you would still be walking on the face of this earth. You turned a year older in this world two days ago. I do not know of the other one yet. My bad. Your birthday passed and I did not write…
