From Yours Truly,

It all happened at the Teslim balogun stadium, Nigeria. The play was getting boring to Josh as he was having the urge to smoke but was already out of packs.
All that was left with him was the tract given to him by his friend’s friend, Simi who followed them to watch the Live African stage play, “Things fall Apart” originally written by World renowned writer, Late Chinua Achebe.
He went to the back of stadium to cool out has he had done the past 17 times without been caught.
“It’s just a paper, her God won’t mind” he encouraged himself.
After the play was over, he bade his friends and went home to prepare for Monday’s work as it was already getting late.
Josh laid down but could not sleep!
Thought it was just a fluke and would sleep off in no time…
He kept rolling from one side of the bed to the other yet sleep seemed to be a stranger that night and he was awake till 6am!
He got to work so heavy that morning but couldn’t tell his friend what had happened.
Everything was going fine until he dozed off on his table cuddling his system as a pillow!

One confession I’m willing to make
One conversation I kept private
One thought loud in my mind
One craving I’ve always had
One habit I couldn’t manage…..
“Bibi! What exactly are you driving at?, this piece looks good but I’m actually getting tired of your suspense to be sincere”.
Bubu, my bestie for life, twin sister and first-off audience who always get to hear my vibe first before I tweet them 😁
We’ve been living together since we both dropped out from Law school, that’s by the way…
Presently Bankers, at the same bank and branch. I’ve always been passionate about writing and sharing my thoughts.
Apathetic towards Law but our parents wanted us to continue in their legacy.
Mom, presently a Chief Judge and Dad Ex Chief Judge but retired as National President of the Council of Judges.
We were tied to their own destiny until our results and their money couldn’t keep us anymore in Law school. I was given to writing but Bubu loved banking.
I joined her in banking because I needed money to establish my writing prowess but I never stopped tweeting and Bubu never stopped proofreading.
When Bubu died, I almost lost my mind, I was confused and frustrated, ‘why would God take away someone like Bubu?’
Everyone loved her, she was extra in all, even with our work schedules she never missed any church service; children and teenagers coordinator, Sisters Fellowship president and ofcourse our bible study officer.
Though our parents never had time for such but she was a good definition of dedication and genuine love.
The pastor’s sermon during her burial was from Genesis, he spoke about how God created everything in Light, nothing was made in darkness, revealing to us that God has a plan for everyone and would never leave anyone in darkness as long as they’re with him.
He also shared the last verse of the first chapter with us, “And God saw goodness in all he had made”, telling us it was out of his goodness he took Bubu home having shared the goodness in her.
And since that time I drew closer to God and his word to know his mind concerning me and live out his plans for my life
And in his goodness take me home too when the time comes. So Dear Reader, are you also living out God’s plan for your life?
I miss Bubu and perhaps there’s someone you miss too and instead of living in that grief, why not live out your life too with the whole goodness the Lord has deposited in us all.
Thanks for Reading.
Yours Sincerely,
Green (The Village Boy).

New series coming up soon… Stay connected.
Hey! You remember me right?, head usher with the big feeling 😊.
What would you say to me now, “babe, I thought you’re over this and all, why this episode?”.
Well, all was smooth and clear until our music coordinator said he wanted to see me.
We are both Head of department in the church, never had any personal discussion apart from our general monthly meetings as HOD’s.
So I didn’t read any meaning to our ‘need to meet’, till we met at the church’s cafeteria after a youth fellowship on this particular wednesday.
And Uhmmn, I don’t know if it’s just me but I don’t find it funny when anyone says, “The Lord said”, seeing we have many lords this days oh, some are even lord of themselves.
Well this wasn’t the case with Brandon as he shared his experience which was similar to mine, of how he had been developing feelings
Prudently curbing it yet felt the urge to talk to me about it, let me stop here 😊
See the Lord allows us to walk a path sometimes to help others through it, yours might not even be emotional wise.
It could be psychological or academical flaws, financial crisis, addictions, even Family episodes especially polygamous home, materialism or lack of communication.
Some could even be insecurities, low self esteem or not even heeding to correction
While yours could even be anger management and many more. So we could help others when they find themselves at this crossroads.
And if we truly passed that phase then surely I can tell you Dear reader
That you’re ready for what’s coming next.
So, yes like you imagined, I’m the one he has feelings for and we are at the pastor’s office now 😁
To be continued….
I can’t deny that my Love for you have not changed, it burns as the day goes by.
Can’t deny your ways and actions don’t break my heart too.
How you treat me, doubt my love for you despite the countless proof I’ve shown, which everyone can bare witness to just to see how sincere I am.
I’ve loved just you and that’s enough for me.
I don’t mind knocking at this iron bars even when the rains drench me, sun scorches, just waiting for you to open up but you never hear. You run to me when you feel like or in dire need.
I care so I stay and never deny you whatever you needed time after time.
I’m not complaining nor wanting you to feel guilty, just want you to give me a chance. Spend atleast a while with me, if it’s worth it or not you get to decide. I really hope you see this and know how much I love you and care about you.
I remain your True Friend, JESUS.
Please reply when you can.
Thanks

Oh! “I know someone”. That’s how my friend, Flora injects her response to every matter that is tabled before her.
We use to laugh and admire her unique way of conversing with people (No complete conversation without a reference).
So anytime she’s set to respond to any matter, I would chorus her first line along with her, “I know someone”…😁
‘I know someone this same thing happened to’, ‘I know someone who also never got it right treading on such path’, ‘I know someone who is into such business too’, endlessly without using same reference twice.
She seems to know a lot of people but what kept me curious is how her knowing has really made her valuable and influential even when she’s just in her early twenties.
We are all who we are because of who we know. Many have gone far through whom they know and some remained at a spot also through whom they know.
Dear reader, going far has nothing to do with the list of people you know but their worth.
And I also know someone, who can really influence your life positively and exponentially. He’s Jesus 🙏 who do you know?
And if you want to have him with you, Just repeat after me..
Lord Jesus Christ, I believe that you died for me, ressurected and now seated with the Father. Please reveal yourself to me that I may know you better and closer. Amen

I couldn’t stop staring at my shoes even as its been on my feet for the past 4 hours.
Oh don’t look at me like you’ve never been there, when you get to put on those designers you’ve always loved especially when it comes as your birthday gift. Oh! That Gucci feeling!
I admired my feet over and over as the praise went on,
one eye opened during worship, uncontrollable gestures during prayers,
and oh dear, during preaching i couldn’t help the feeling…
Was in my paradise, until a baby sitted on his mom’s lap right beside me
vomited on me from my versace- ‘Barocco-Acanthus print crépe de chine’ Top to my ‘Floral Lace hem pencil’ Skirt and ofcourse my Jordaan Loafer Gucci shoes! Gosh!
I couldn’t scream, you should have seen my doctored gusto! cos we were in church ofcourse
“So sorry ma’am” the mother said. My smile was convincing, end of story…
It was time for offering, the moment I’ve been waiting to display my high class and splendour
which was now shattered by this look-like intentional incidence.
Had to take in the shame with all of its concomitant worries, stepped out and that’s how my service ended.
How i have wasted 5 hours dear reader, seeking for relevance, acceptance, admiration and non-stop complement
Now i leave you to ponder on what manner of lady I’ve potrayed myself to be and who You’re also and trying to become.
Thanks for Reading.
Yours truly,
Green (The Village Boy).
All of a sudden, he became my prayer point, bed imagination and the only ‘Zee World Series’ playing in my head oh! 😣
Truly the book of Ecclesiastes is void of imperfections when the writer says, “Out of the multitude of businesses (thoughts), dreams cometh” .
I had boiled same water three times for my Dad, until his voice brought me back to sanity.
‘Beulah’, he called me as he often does when he wants to get my complete attention”.
Today, you will share with me what has been clouding your mind”, ‘Oh, no Dad!’, you’d say that too if you were in my shoes, right?
I was agaped, “how did you know Dad?”. He looked at me and said, “Really! 😊
Well, did you know that you no longer smile as you used to?, chat with me as usual, never completing a full sentence, longer times at the rest rooms, talk to yourself more than with others, unneccesarily engaged with too much all of a sudden, always indoor, and many more which is unlike you, for the past three months now?”.
He turned off the gas, led me to the dining, “Care to share?” he said, with that his ‘Daddy is here baby’ compassionate look.
I have never felt relieved as that moment I got to share every single piece of my heart with Dad, who later informed me that even this dude in question was already engaged and had come to him for counseling. I look like an idiot right😇?,
So much enjoyed every bit of conversation with my dad, we laughed over it 珞 built upon it and today I’ve never felt more free!
Are you developing feelings too? Talk to Daddy oh! Yes, My Jesus 💕
He is the Best Listener and Counsellor ever!
Thanks for Reading.
Yours Sincerely,
Green (The Village Boy).

“let’s go for Lunch after service, if you don’t mind”.
I was overjoyed in my heart!
Already saying the whole ‘thank you’ and all sorts until funbi’s face of “babe, you fumbling” pressed deep into my skin.
Oh dear!
that was when the resonance became clear
“Will you follow us for lunch after service? as we still have a program for 2pm, so we won’t be late”….
What’s happening to me?, i was cruising again in my wonderland.
Have tried many bible verses but TOLD NO ONE ABOUT THIS WRESTLING IN MY HEART!
Dear Reader, a million scriptures would not dissolve a thought you’ve chosen to cage in your heart.
Free that Bird by talking to someone today or you end up shooting yourself in the leg 😣
Well I’ve had my own share right? I’m thinking….. Should i just talk about it?,
should i walk up to him?, that doesn’t sound appropriate right?, should i tell funbi or just walk away?
But walking away won’t help too, what do you think…?

Everything was going fine until Funbi introduced me to her “just arrived from the states” cousin .
There was a melting in my heart, never knew I was cruising in Paris already,
as I kept looking at the perfect gentleman standing before me scoring 101% in all my specs of what my man should look like…
All of a sudden, remembered I was God-fearing 😕 oh and the head usher of our church!
Oh no! Babe, get yourself together, “there is a way that seemeth right unto a man…” oh, guide thy heart diligently 😣”! Having told myself all this, I was back to the party!
Yes we were at Funbi’s birthday party, my personal babe but the music type unlike me who doesn’t believe music is made for all kwa!
I felt like I was free from this thoughts until He joined the ushering department in the space of two months of his arrival, oh my!
Is this fate or I’ve been watching too much “Zee world” series? 😖
