HERALD

For most unfortunate or tragic events,you usually hear the person say, somehow they knew it will happen, they felt it. In some cases a week before these events the person feels far from normal, they suspect something is wrong, experience foreboding. For a few others they feel nothing at all,no herald whatsoever,they feel good and fine, life is going well,then bang!!! Something bad happens,it is as jarring and shocking as a loud noise at night. For Alexander it was the same,they had no inkling whatsoever about what would happen that weekend. Alexander was in senior high school with his twin. They were the only children of their parents who were both lawyers. These identical twins were super playful. They had little reason not to be though. They had loving parents,lived in a very happy home,were students of one of the best schools. Alexander was the most reserved of this twin,that is, although he was jovial,free spirited and hyper, he was no where close to his brother. Pranks ...

In a ghetto area ,during the time that the Nigerian government just became democratic again,there was this face-me-i-slap-you building. In this tenanment house lived a young, healthy plump woman. Apart from the fact that she married a man way older than her,there was nothing very peculiar about her,she went about her daily activity unnoticed among several other tenants. Let's call this young woman Iya tunde. Iya tunde had just one child and would always tell her friends/co-tenants that she would never have another baby for her old hu...

MAIDS

Normally you hire a maid they get the chores done and you pay them their wage,but when you begin to exploite them there is a thin difference between them being a maid and a slave. The other day I had to explain to a friend how having a maid works here and halfway into explaining I realised I was describing a slave. This made me remember a story that happened a long time ago,it happened to a little girl that lost her dad. We will call the girl Sarah. Sarah's father died when she turned eight,leaving her mom with over nine children to take care of. Sarah's mother struggled for months to raise her children alone,but it was a battle,a battle that in a few months it was clear she was loosing,she had to literally cry out for help. Her extended family, in-laws included came together and said they would help. They didn't help Sarah's mom with a job,or financial assistance instead they looked at all her children and each chose the child that they would take home with them...
