  • House: The One Year We Lived at Work 3.

      180k I did not have that money and even if I was to be paid immediately, my salary was not going to meet up. (They were even talking about us not being paid until three months into the job. Kuku kee me). But, I was convinced about that place being the God ordained location…

  • House: The One Year We Lived at Work. 2

      The next phase of my life came slowly but steadily. It crept on me like the first trickles of menstrual flow down the thighs… first hesitatingly, then gaining a little speed with more confidence and then, gushing like a burst dam.   The little comments started; “Where would you even want to work.” “What…

  • House: The One Year We Lived at Work. 1

      While we were in medical school, for most of us, we were only certain of two steps after medical school; housemanship and NYSC. For those who were averse to either, they probably were more sure of their future than the rest of us or they were utterly lost. That is, they were either dead…

    The Last Attempt 8.

    Dapo’s left hand found Kobeth’s right hand and they stood side by side, waiting for this revelation. I remembered, again, seeing Jed’s surname on the greeting card the Susan woman had sent. I got a sinking feeling that I wasn’t going to like whatever the revelation was. Maybe Joel sensed my unease too because he…

    The Last Attempt 7.

    About an hour later, I called Dapo to let her know we were at the gate. “Did you get a cab?” That was the first thing Dapo asked. “We got something better. Kobeth brought us in his car.” “Who is that one again? All these names sef. I thought it was Kezia.” My friend’s confusion…

    The Last Attempt 6.

    * I continued helping Ifedapo with hospital errands once I was discharged. Her mum was still on admission. Jed had continued calling me, sending multiple apologies as texts and WhatsApp chats. I ignored all. One day, during one of my hospital runs for the Duduyemis, I saw Joel being wheeled into the emergency unit. Memories…

    The Last Attempt 5.

    Pastor (Mrs) Duduyemi’s water had broken when she collapsed but she was weak and uncooperative. Ifedapo hurriedly picked up her mum’s phone, curious as to what message she had received. “Don’t! Don’t look at it, Ifedapo”, Her dad had panic written all over him, ” let us get your mum to the hospital first.” Ifedapo…

    The Last Attempt 4.

    “Wow! He took off his singlet ke?” Dapo’s eyeballs had widened to about twice their original size. “I’m for real! I was shook!!! I literally froze. He stood in front of me with that glass of water for close to ten seconds. Jeez!” “What was he thinking?” “You are asking me? I am sure I…

    The Last Attempt 3.

    “Girl, have you done that assignment from Dr. Sobanke? High risk pregnancies and Multigravida risks?” Dapo was lying on her bed, chewing her pen as she spoke. “Check my laptop. I’ve typed something. I plan to still check Ten Teachers, hopefully, the textbook will help me add more flesh to the whole thing.” “I don’t…
