A man was with his son were working in the farm. Some hours later, the man excused himself to go to a nearby river to quench his thirst. All of a sudden, he fell inside the deep river without knowing how it happened and started shouting "help! help!!" Hearing the cry, the son ran towards the direction to see for himself. Arriving the scene, he saw his father sinking into the river slowly. Rushing and stretching out his right arm for his father with the intention of helping him, his father refused and said to him sorrowfully "my son, I know you love and care for me as your father, but you can't be of help to me now. Go and complete what I have started in this life. You will be the one to take good care of your siblings and mother."
The small boy went home sorrowfully. He was asking himself why his father decided to refused his help and prefer to die like that. It was later after ten years that he came to realised what his father did, that had it been his dad held his hand when he stretched it out, his father"s weight would have outweighed his and directly would have gotten drown with his father.

SOME CHARITY CAN DESTROY LIFE RATHER THAN SAVE LIFE. BEWARE FRIENDS

MY CULTURE, MY SORROW

MY CULTURE, MY SORROW Finding herself on the horns of a dilemma, pushed to the wall by her present condition, and tempted to take the painful path, Egwi regretted having parents from there and being born in that culture. She has been married for over ten years without given birth to any child. Although to Ebeka, her husband, it was not a serious issue but to her in-laws, it was really a war, which made her family and that of her husband to be in a battle of wits. The wars from both families were really weighing on her but she could not do otherwise. She had tried everything possible to remedy the situation as if the fault was hers but all her efforts proved abortive. This was her condition for nine years since she came into that family. Ebeka being a man of understanding and friendly in nature, he followed the situation in a diplomatic way. However, to his mother, he was seen as nothing but a coward and a shameless he-goat. His mother really needed children to be call...

Life is all about service

I NEVER KNEW             For years, he has been jobless after studies. One fateful morning he received a text message for a job, something he has been longing for years. On the appointed day of the interview, John set off for the journey.           He bought his ticket and boarded a bus.

THE PATH TO HAPPINESS AND FULFILLMENT The harmattan was totally something else. The wind was dry and dusty. The poor woman came back with a plastic bag in her left hand. “ Welcome Mama,” Tekwe said as he collected the bag from his mother. He was amazed at what he saw. He knew well that they had no domestic animals or ruminants around in the compound. “What is she going to do with these cassava leaves?” He asked himself but was unable to find an answer. They all sat in front of two bowls. He opened the first bowls, lo and behold what Tekwe saw were the cassava leaves, cooked in the form of vegetable soup. There was total silent. Later, his sister Zima asked: “Mama, what happened? These are cassava leaves. They are meant for goats.” Tears were dripping down from their mother’s eyes. Tekwe was speechless. The poor woman started eating, with the thought that her children would join her but they could not. He took only three small lumps of the foufou and that was all for him, he...
