TARA



"I miss you. Can we see and talk things through.  I want you back."


Sesan quickly dropped 

his phone  immediately he clicked on the 'send ' button. It was so fast anyone watching him would think the phone was hot coals in his hand.


He stared at his phone, like someone half waiting for a monster to creep out of the screen of the phone. 


He knew he wasn't going to get a response from the recipient of the message.  Why he sent it in the first place, he had no clue. 


Sesan knew he couldn't blame it on the alcohol. He was too coordinated and calm to blame any of his misbehaviours on alcohol. He doesn't drink to get drunk. He keeps his sense and sanity in one corner before drinking and dons it back after drinking. So he knew exactly everything that happened tonight. 


Everything that started from when he and Tara got to the party, when she started drinking, talking loudly and flirting with Boye,  causing him to shrink in his seat and distant for the rest of the evening. 


Sesan had hooked up with Tara immediately he ended things with Kiki. An affair that was supposed to a fling had grown into a  full blown relationship,  with Insta pictures and lovey dovey captions. Of course not from him,  but from Tara. 


He was getting tired of her and her shenanigans.  She was everything he didn't want in a woman. Him bedding her was the biggest mistake of his life. 


How he missed Kiki.  His soul mate.  His queen. His woman.  Kiki was all shades of awesomeness. He was having the best time of his life with her till they fought over some irrelevant matter and that was the end of everything.


Sesan took one last look at Tara flirting outrageously with Boye and decided that was it.  He vowed to break up with her as soon as they got back to his house.  He couldn't drive her home again that night,  it was past midnight and she stayed on the mainland. 


He finished the  drink in his glass and said goodnight to the boys, and half dragged a reluctant Tara from Boye's laps to the car. 


They drove home in perfect silence.  He was grateful for the silence.  He needed the tranquility to process his thoughts and actions.  He was going to contact Kiki tonight unfailingly. 


They got home and Tara headed straight to the bathroom to shower.  He paid her no mind, tapped the screen of his phone to life and typed the message. He stared at the screen for what seemed like eternity before he clicked send and hastily dropped the phone on the bed. 


Tara came out of the shower almost immediately. 


"It's over.  This thing between us has to end tonight. " he blurted.


"What? " She squeaked in response. 


" You heard me.  I can't do this anymore.  I am not happy with you.  You are not happy with me too, so cut the crap and save us the drama"


His phone chimed as the notification of a message showed on the screen. He rushed to open the unexpected message.  It read : " I have been waiting for this for so long. I miss you too.  Our usual bookstore?"


He smiled.  Everything was falling into place.  He was going home finally. 


Tara's next statement dropped his jaw and hands, causing the phone to fall from his grip, shattering his bubbles.


"I am pregnant ".

King Of Swazi chooses Wife, Publicly Test Girls' Virginity As They Dance Naked. (Photos)

A common tradition in Swaziland (Swazi) permits the King, Mswati, to choose a new bride every year. This is done in a festival named Swazi Reed Dance Festival where girls are paraded and tested publicly to know their virginity status. It has been a long time tradition in Swaziland and not the first time this controversial issue is making it into the news. Although, many consider this barbaric and backward, it’s a tradition the people willingly embrace as the aim is to help King Mswati choose a wife. As part of Swazi custom and norms, that time of the year has come, when the King chooses his bride and again, he has reportedly tested some of the volunteered girls’ virginity before choosing a wife for himself. Thousands of pretty virgins’ were seen in this year’s edition dancing topless for King Mswati III, on what is called the Reed Dance ceremony, also known as Umhlanga), hoping to be his next wife. The Reed Dance ceremony is an annual Swazi and Zulu tradition hel...

Ijakumo Movie Review

  Whatever this movie was set to give, it didn't give.  Even the stripping is not giving. Why is the Sharon girl sex talking like she is doing spoken words???  I liked the babe in "Listening Ears", but I feel she is not 'mature' enough theatrically for this role. Wait, what I noticed was that Toyin and her crew didn't know there was a girl who looks like the Sharon girl in his church. A very crazy error that no director should make. If they had come in with this, maybe the finding out they were twin bla BLA BLA suspense would suspense well. But as the director or script writer were very myopic, the twin shii didn't hold water. If they had said or showed that they picked the Ugandan girl because she looked like the Nigerian girl in his church, e for make perfect sense. Seriously, I am miffed. The only thing that thrilled me was Kunle Remi and his lines. O mard gan. 🤣🤣🤣 "Emi mimo ni kin gbenu sohun". 🤣🤣🤣 "So, idi Uganda lo Fe baye mi j...

Sista Movie Review

  The opening scene did me in. I read somewhere that the first few 5 minutes of a movie determines if it is worth it.  Trust me, Sista movie hooked me in less than 5 minutes. I loved the straight to the point opening. No show of the Third Mainland Bridge. No lazy show of Lagos traffic. Nothing. Also, the past/present sequence made crazy sense.  Seeing Kehinde Bankole in that role is refreshing, it's not what she is used to, but she did well. Chimezie was quite not in character, or maybe he didn't bond with Ade Herself. I don't know. He is better than what I saw him act here. As usual Aunty Ronke Oshodi Oke gave it her all. This Tope Owokoniran babe tried with her Hausa accent. I love it!!! I think this is the best of her I have seen so far. I'd say this is a movie Aunty Biodun Stephen put her everything to make. This is a beautiful work of art. I love every piece of it. The story line is dope. Directing is flawless. The fun part was that even though It was predictable f...
