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…

Dear Cozy.
Dear Cozy, If life gives you lemons, ask for salt and vinegar. I lived the last four years of my university life without a laptop. Any student in a tertiary institution needs a laptop. How much more a medical student? And how much much more a medical student in those concluding years? Few times, I…

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…

Dear Cozy.
Dear Cozy, If life gives you lemons, ask for salt and vinegar. God is a concept I hope you get to understand early. He means a lot to me and to your father. When you grow up, you would hear and read and experience many things. One side would point you to Him. Another would…

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…
