Aderonke's Dilemma (episode 14)

           My Bus Conductor Lover๐Ÿš‰ Oshodi would lose its name and notoriety if it became less rough like it usually is every normal day. Its no different when I struggled to board a bus going to iyana ipaja from under bridge this Saturday. Breathing hard like someone who had just ran the Olympics, I sat victoriously on the tight seat I managed to outbeat two people on. I smiled and acknowledged myself for being a "sharp Lagos girl". Its no easy feat to achieve. I smiled again.  As I was smiling, I wasn't alone. The conductor was looking at me and smiling like he was mimicking me. My smile froze and I put on an irritated look murmuring to myself, " illiterates would always remain silly". He edged closer and whispered "aunty ya fine o". I wish I could throw him a punch there and then but people were looking. I forced a " thank you" and rolled my eyes to warn him off unnecessary familiarity. I had alighted and even boarded a bik

๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ‘ป UNDEAD  : ( THE GHOST  MODE ) ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ฝ Today September 11, makes it 3years since I lost him. It still seem fresh in my memory like it only happened yesterday. I can swear on my life that I really loved him( I still do, no doubt) but the most amusing thing is I never missed him because he lurks around like he was still alive! I really do mean this! I never believed in the existence of ghosts but why won't I when I'm just a victim myself?? The circumstances surrounding his demise is a pitiable one. He was a victim of a stray bullet. He was walking home lovingly on that particular evening from where he went to pick his laundry when he met his death. Life wouldn't have stolen my beau from me!!!!! He was as innocent as a baby! My baby couldn't hurt a fly. Bubbling with enthusiasm always and a motivator of the weak hearted! I only wished I had the power to raise a soul. I would exert it on him. His name was John. I wouldn't name my child John bcoz even the

             COINCIDENCE(2) ☔☔ ๐Ÿ’• ๐Ÿ’• CONTINUATION...... I guess life doesn't go as we imagine it to sometimes be. Its been two years now and I thought I would run into BAMIDELE again like I have done those few times but I didn't.. Its even much more frustrating that we didn't have each other's contact details. I comforted myself with the fact that he could have looked for me since he knew my house if he really wanted to be friends... We are both busy people so I shouldn't get myself worried when we are both living fine separately! Guess nothing is coincidental about us, just comforting assumptions. I was doing perfectly fine until my parents informed me that a marriage has been arranged for me!! I was furious!!!! How can they do this to me? At this age in time??? Who still does that shit!?? They didn't even care for my own feelings! Am I now a business tool for their own selfish entrepreneurial manipulation?? To make matters worse, I won't meet

            COINCIDENCE.....☔☔๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’• It was quite a sunny Thursday as I walked into Skye Bank with an umbrella over my head for a transaction. I passed the normal routine of having to almost go nude before the door recognizes you are human and not some metallic substance. With an annoyed expression, I stormed into the bank and didn't even notice I bumped into someone who swore at me but I didn't care, I just continued with my transaction... Why won't I be angry when the bank door ruined my fashion combo because I couldn't wear a moschino belt in!!(who does that??). I grumpily finished my transaction and was about leaving when someone started shouting "Hello sister!" "Excuse me Sister".... Thank God my name is not sister, it must be one of those ashawo guys who wants to collect.. I suddenly felt a tap on my left shoulder.  BAMIDELE: I've been chasing you for quite sometimes now, you forgot your umbrella.. (panting heavily)  ME: Oh! My

                    DREAMER GIRL.......➿ I don't know if I should see my dreaming ability as a blessing or a curse because I would be blessed for my dreams, sometimes I end up being cursed for it. There are several incidences when I have been blessed for my dreams and several others where I have been cursed and even stoned....... I only know my mum to be a Josephine the dreamer. Why must it chewgum to me too na?  I remembered when I had a dream of Laolu getting a contract to build Orientals Hotel in lekki...  It sounds somehow but I decided to tell him anyway... He laughed me off and I laughed at myself too for such a distant achievement... But in my minds of mind, I knew God is not the man to lie and like a miracle, he got something close to that in the same Orientals.... Laolu doesn't joke with me now.. He teases me to always have a dream concerning him and prosperity but its a lie bcoz all I dream about him nowadays is for him to be careful....  In the sam

              ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€JANDED!๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€ I have always traveled by this means but each new time seem like a new experience... Everything was set for takeoff. Our luggage packed in its compartment. I was seated beside the man on wheels(Pilot) and he asked me to buckle my seat belt which I did. The host was a handsome young man whose smiles can stop the time by seconds. He smiled at me and nodded approvingly. My eyes kept darting back and forth to him ( don't mind that I love handsome guys๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆ) and each time i stare, his eyes was already on me, this makes me blush๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„ Different delicacies passed me by but I never dared to take a bite at one of it. I fear I might have a runny stomach and would never be able to excuse myself to do the needful. Not with all eyes on everyone else. Although there are two decks but it doesn't matter what part you are, any funny move, you create an unnecessary attention. But my tummy won't cooperate as I heard a rumble indicating hunger. When a

       ๐Ÿ‘ญ THE LESBIAN CHRONICLE๐Ÿ‘ญ My dad is a philanthropist who believes in doing good so his descendants can reap the fruits of his kindness which was what pushed him to build several boy's quarters(BQ) at the back of our house for youth corpers free of charge. I have witnessed many corpers go and come since growing up at the BQ. This year's seem a little different as I just came back from school pending ASUU's strike recall. Its no new thing that our BQ was brimming with corpers, but there is this girl called Angela who took an unnatural interest in me. I'm not someone who easily warms up to strangers but her warm personality drew her closer to me. We became fast friends and I noticed she was more caring than any guy I have known.  She's the type that would go out and see a fitting top my size and get it for me. She buys chocolates, recharge my phone and even braids my hair for me. I felt so lucky having someone as nice as her for a friend. I guess my d

                        BLEMISH .............. Whenever I think how far I've come, I can't help but thank God. Here I am, educationally fulfilled, financially stable, socially known and tastefully beautiful. I'm not exaggerating... I am really a self made woman. I work in one of the best companies in Abuja, drive the latest rides, live in an artisticular furnished apartment and getting married to a lovely man in a few months time. What more can a person this fulfilled be asking for?? But like we know, humans need is insatiable. I want just one thing which is to be able to "redo my past". It is true that the past can't make us but the future also can't heal such blemishes left from the past.  A beggar girl particularly reminds me of my ugly past. I usually see her from the 4th floor of my office building. Nothing particularly astounds me about this girl but the fact that she looks so much like me!! Acts the way I did when I was her age! I would ha

      SUPERNATURAL.....(part two) (Only for the stronghearted... Imaginations discretion is advised.... If strong, come along and explore with me) CONT...... I'm really looking at life mermaids, not scenes from Meko mermaid or Ariel the little mermaid!!! I was mesmerized by each of their distinct beauty! Mermaids are not just beautiful like we humans describe them to be, they are supernaturally GORGEOUS!!! If not, how can a skin be golden and shines brighter than a diamond? What should have described a hair more silky and velvety than any Brazilian hair I've ever seen? A eye as lucid as water itself but distinct from water because of its silver trimmings?? Lucifer was really made from precious gems!!! Their tails looks like hundreds of halogen lights joined together to form a fish bottom! I see white everywhere...  "I hate humans, mummy said they are cruel" said a little mermaid. I wanted to reply her how nice I am but discovered I couldnt speak...

               SUPERNATURAL (part one) Reunion of any kind is always a fun thing, so is my high school class reunion. It was more of hugging, teasing, forming big girls and guys, laughing at each others silly joke and mostly reminiscing about what funny or horrible things happened in our high school days. The venue of the reunion was at a beach. We drank. We ate. We danced. And we played. I being naughty would never stop being naughty as I still had time to play around despite being tipsy. I started playing "catch me if you can". I would push anyone by the beach bank into the water when the person is not looking  and would run away. I got the wrong person when I pushed Paul in the water. You see, Paul is sweet on the outside but I guess he's just a devil inside. Everyone decided to laugh along my pranks, only him decided to take full revenge and when I mean full, I meant a devilish intention to throw me in the water when he knew quite alright I can't swim. He

       IN LOVE WITH A PLAYBOY(+๐Ÿ”ž) Readers Discretion is Advised ๐Ÿ”ž I couldn't deceive myself anymore, I know this feeling!!! It is the feeling of one in love!! "But no, it couldn't have been possible... How can I fall in love with the campus notorious playboy, Dennis?? Why should my heart choose to break itself?? Why should I be entangled in this web of unwelcomed love fantasies?? I guess, just as we can't choose where we are birthed, we also can't chose where our heart chooses to find love, if not, of all guys, its that playboy!! Mbaaa!! But I love him๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ˜”". Those were my stream of thought until my flatmate tapped me... MIDE: Babes, don't tell me you are still thinking of Dennis. You look horrible!! ME : why should I think of him? I have better things to do abeg (in my thought " who am I deceiving?") **walking away** MIDE : You better tell us what the main thing is so that we can know where to help you (taunting and laughing) M
