SOLACE!!!

By -



Have you ever known love? Have you ever felt love? Have you ever been in love? I ask because all three have happened to me and it was the best feeling and experience I could have ever wished for in my life time. It made the 9decades I spent on earth worth the while, reason being that Margaret made me know love, feel love and be in love she was bliss itself. 

Have you ever experienced a love so strong that even when she nags you can't help but smile and love her even deeply? I recall so many times I would literally frustrate her with my annoying traits and she would not even move an inch, or try to react but rather walk into the kitchen and make me my favorite meal. She was a proverbs 31 woman with her issues of course but then, they were the best 40 years of my life. Yes 40 years! And no I didn't get married at 50,but Margaret left me quite early,umm cancer came when we least expected thinking it could stop me from knowing, feeling and being in love but Margaret's love was so genuine that even in the next  2 decades that came after her death, it was like Maggie never left. She was no world super hero but she was my super woman with lots of imperfections. 

A day I would never forget would be the 2nd day of July 1970, I was tired of the usual nature of the so called "married" life ,so I decided to do a little exploring to erase the boring feeling and satisfy my ego as a man. Her name was Cassandra she was fair as the sun,beautiful as the stars and shapely as a moon goddess. I fell so fast that I couldn't get out even when I tried, because she was so captivating. Back to the 2nd day of July Maggie had gone to the next town to visit her sister, so I invited Cassandra over to our home and we made sweet, pleasant love on our matrimonial bed. We were still at it when Maggie walked into the room, I could see the shock in her eyes but her face had a smile and she quickly apologized and left the room for the kitchen to make dinner. I didn't need any body to pray for me to be loosed from Cassandras charms, cos immediately I realized I was married to a diamond. Maggie never said a word about that day but I swore to make it up to her for the rest of our lives .

Now as I write these last words of mine to the world and my kids, I urge you to let yourself know love, feel love and be in love and know that no matter what life throws at you, love would help you conquer because it is not just a feeling it is a decision because with her it's SOLACE!!!!!.....

"When your legs don't work like they used to be for" buzzed Sarah's phon Sarah ! Cassandra screamed "your phone " . Sarah ran all the way from the kitchen until she breathlessly answered the call " hey baby, good evening I missed you", "I missed you too" came the voice from the other end " I missed you so much that am right outside your house  " he continued " it's a lie, your in Lagos and am in calabar, stop joking  with me jor ! You know I take things personal" Sarah said a little too crossly. " baby I'll never lie to you, if you doubt it come on outside" " oga forget baby o if your not outside ba I'll do you strong thing o, I am coming" she said as she dropped the call."

THE ILLUSION!

Pain isn't something that gives you a choice as to the intensity or the severity. It kinda has a mind of its own.  I once saw a poster for a pain killer I think IBEX or so and it read "pain is constant but suffering is optional" and that day it made so much sense to me  cos I felt, there was sort of a cure for every pain no matter how intense, it could be rid off. This belief was so strong that when I experienced a pain I could not cure, I dared not believe it! I said "there has to be something, anything that could rid me of the pain I felt all over, physically , spiritually, emotionally and all the rest". So I kept searching for the cure at all cost, mindless of the consequences hoping that the pain would cease and the void would be filled.  I tried every and anything from sleeping pills to pain killers to hard drugs to cigarettes to alcohol to sexual exploitation and yet that dull ever nagging pain just won't leave.  I had lost all hope,in fac

Stagnation, my new obsession .

Ever been in a predicament were you have no clue what to do next, who to be next, when to be what you need to be even up to matters as insignificant as what to eat ? I like to call it the stagnant stage. Stagnant stage: a phase in life which does not allow you to experience new success, joy or achievements because you have been stuck in a particular level with no hope of moving forward. Sweethearts! That's the phase I am experiencing, a phase where I know I have to write, but I know not what to write, I have to eat but I don't think it fixes the problem, I need new business ideas but yet I seem to fall short, I need love all  round but it seems the world is already consumed by hate. So what do I do ? I am sick and tired of trying to be and look miss Perfect. It hasn't helped me in anyway , because people do not expect me to have problems. In fact their everyday wish is to be like me, but they have no idea what goes on in my mind behind my beat face, my slay

  I can still remember the cool 😎 October morning as I woke up to sound of my phone 📱 ringing continuously, at first I was mad 😡 wondering who had the nerve to call me at such an odd hour and with such ferocity; until I picked up my phone and saw it was my intended. "hello beautiful, I am so sorry to have  disturbed your sleep but I wanted us to have our last conversation in this chapter of our life before we begin the new one in a few hours" came his cherry voice. I still remember the day we met at the school gate; he was a scrawny looking teenager who  was two classes below me and I was the senior prefect. On that faithful day, he had come late to school and it was my duty as SP to punish him, but I couldn't cos he walked up to me and said in a trembling voice when I asked why he was late to school: "I am late today cos I knew you would be on gate duty, and I wanted to tell you that you are the prettiest girl in the entire school".

"I have made money" party

  The youths of these days amaze me a lot, how will someone that worked hard,toiled, sweated and even starved to make money  💰  finally get the money and decides a few days/ weeks later to throw a "I have made money party" is that one not proper brain disorder? I don't understand it, when my friend mentioned it to me I started wondering what the person did to get that money. I mean if it was I who had gone through all that stress my first agenda would not be to throw a party telling the whole world how much money I had but rather think of an investment that would ensure the stability of that cash before throwing one useless party that will only be a liability.  My generation though! I won't blame them much after all the world has provided so many get rich easily schemes that nobody knows what it means to toil for their money. Am sure you're wondering what kind of bad belle person I am for wanting people to suffer before becoming comfortable, well that's

MY YAHOO BOY EXPERIENCE

EPISODE 1 My name is Edidiong Ugoma, I am 21 years old and I am fresh out of the university. I was born into one of those homes you would call average, in the sense that we always had food to eat,the necessities we needed and we got good education. My parents aren’t overly religious, but they sure as hell are overly protective and I was their only daughter so you can imagine the pressure. I went to mission schools, like OLA and the rest and wound up in a Christian private university. I was sure going to become the president of CAN one day. Now because of all these restrictions, on a scale of one to ten I was a very decent girl. But deep down, I knew that a part of me wanted to break out, see the world, explore, do all the fun stuff that youths these days carry out. I didn’t want to do bible study classes any more or evangelism outreaches, as they had been my bread and tea for the past twenty years of my life. So I studied hard, not because I wanted to make anybody proud b
