Excerpts:

When Lamberto Amato, legal counsel to the Dini family sauntered into his office in his flashy American tailored suit, Captain Giallo knew he wasn’t paying a courtesy call. Amato was expensive and normally he would send an associate to handle police matters.

“To what do I owe this honour?” Captain Giallo said rising to shake hands with the successful counsel Amato was not given to small talk. He hated visiting Police offices

but he didn’t have a choice today. Georgeo Dini, head of the Dini family had insisted on a personal touch. “I will come to the point Captain. I am lodging a formal complaint against David Rossi, one of your officers. My sources tell me that he has links with the African prostitute, Margaret, which you want for questioning regarding the hotel killing.”

“Hotel killing?” Captain Giallo spread his hands helplessly. “I don’t quite understand.”

“The over dose of Cocaine,”

“Ah, that. May I ask why you are interested in the case sir?”

Amato waived his hands impatiently. “The dead girl was an associate of Mr Dini. She was under his protection. You know how it is. Mr Dini has to do something about the unfortunate incident.  “I see,” Captain Giallo winced. He wanted no part of Georgeo Dini at all.

“So what evidence do you have to support your allegation against Mr Rossi?”

Amato reached into the inner pocket of his flashy navy blue suit and brought out a photograph and threw it on Giallo’s table. Captain Giallo could see a lady in the photograph. “Vittorio Emanuele was arrested by David Rossi about eighteen months ago for attempting to assault an African prostitute. Vittorio had picked her up to shoot a pornographic video. David Rossi’s report of the arrest deliberately left out the name of the prostitute. Another prostitute was in fact picked up to replace the real one,

“The girl happens to be the same one you want for questioning. Your Mr Rossi chose not to bring the girl in because he didn’t want her deported. Your Mr Rossi was being paid by Edwina keep her girls out of your way.

Captain Giallo ran his hands through what was left of his hair

“May I ask you how you came about this information?”

“You may,” Amato replied smiling.

He reminded Giallo of a Snake he had seen somewhere as she walked to the door and pulled it open. Standing outside the door was a pot bellied balding fellow with bulging eyes. In his dirty yellow tracksuit, he didn’t look like the sort of company Amato should keep.

“Vittorio Emanuele?” Amato announced. He will corroborate all that I have said.

Captain Giallo rose from his seat with a scowl on his face.

“You will have to put all these in writing of course.” he pointed out.

Amato pulled out a wad of papers from his pocket. “It’s all here.

“Ah, then we will take Mr Emanuele’s statement.

He could see Vittorio wince at the thought of having to make a statement. No criminal would relish the thought of giving evidence to incriminate a police officer and the fact that the officer was David Rossi, one of the best loved officers in the Lambandi again made the matter much more precarious. Vittorio probably knew he would be in

prison before the month was over as sure as he knew his name. “Mr Vittorio will be glad to cooperate with you.” Amato announced with another smile. The purpose of the statement was clear to everyone. Vittorio had to choose between being hounded down by the police and being hounded down by the Dini family. It didn’t take Vittorio a long time to decide. He smiled weakly at Captain Giallo. He would take his chances with the police.

*****************************************************

Officer Guissepe, was about six months old in the Italian Police Force. He wore his uniform with pride. Always neatly dressed, he believed he would one day become the police Chief. Short and well built, he never agreed that he was fat, he raised himself from the pillow on the driver’s seat of the police van so he could have a better view of the road.

Although he was driving rather fast, he didn’t want any accident that would delay him from getting to the Airport on time. He had a date with a pretty blond  in his neighbourhood and he had no intention of getting there late.His heart had sunk when Deputy Chief Nolan had announced that he was to take the pretty African lady to the Airport. There was no need for an armed guard. They knew the lady was the one that had more or less insisted that she wanted to be deported!

Ten minutes later, Guissepe bounced the van into the Airport, Margaret in tow, and headed straight for the departure lounge. The five other African ladies were waiting with Italian immigration officials. It was then that Guissepe realized that he had forgotten Margaret’s deportation order at the police headquarters. In his haste, he had mistakenly locked them up in his desk with some other documents. Going back to the office to get the papers was out of the question. He knew he could make it back before take off time but that would mean kissing his date goodbye.

“I forgot the papers at the office,” he explained to the Immigration officer.

“I will go back for it.” he offered knowing fully well that he had no intention of coming back.

As far as Guissepe was concerned, the important thing was that the Lady was being deported. The reason was immaterial. Personally, he wasn’t too pleased about the large number of African immigrants in Italy. If he had his way, he would round them all up and deport them the same day! As he walked away from the immigration desk, he smiled to himself. He was confident that the immigration’s officer would simply put Margaret on the plane with or without any deportation order. Good luck to the Nigerian

immigration officers!

‘A mirror of real life! ‘No Time For Tears’ remains a strong positive impact on the life of every reader – The Saturday Punch Newspaper

Excerpts:

29th Street at Bodija Estate was far from quiet, thanks to the noisy party going on in one of the houses on the normally quiet neighbourhood.  The sitting room of a beautiful five-bedroom detached house was the heart of the party. In all, there were about fifty boys and girls.  Most of the girls were dressed in tight fitting clothes that revealed virtually everything, while most of the boys were in jeans and T-shirts.

It was just getting dark outside, but the sitting room was well lit with multi- coloured bulbs. Anne looked around her. The smell and fumes coming from burning cigarettes were almost unbearable. She was sitting alone in a corner, waiting for John who had gone to get some drinks.

They had only danced twice.  The dancing floor was over crowded.  Anne could see bodies swinging to Michael Jackson’s latest release. She tried to listen to the words of the song without much success.  The rhythm was great, anyhow.

Anne felt a gentle tap on her shoulder and turned round.  Standing beside her was a tall, muscular boy, wearing a T-shirt so tight that it was a wonder it contained his rippling muscles.

“Hey, pretty lady, wanna dance?”

He had a nice smile too.  John was nowhere in sight and the music was great. “Why not?”

They moved on to the crowded floor and the muscular boy got some space quickly. No one would want to bump into him accidentally. Soon, Anne realized he was not a bad dancer. In fact he was good. He moved well for his size and she tried to keep up. Her partner had a habit of clapping and dancing which drew other people’s attention.

John arrived with the drinks and wondered where Anne had gone. He soon sighted her with King Kong! He knew he would have to wait patiently for the song to end.  The song ended, but it was followed by a slow dancing number. Before you could say ‘Lionel Richie’, King Kong had his arms around Anne! Anne was stupefied.  Weren’t you supposed to ask before doing something like that? She thought.

The young man had his eyes closed, oblivious of every thing else.  Anne was most uncomfortable.  She was not the only uncomfortable one.  John was boiling with anger. He

though of going over to stop them, but the size of King Kong’s biceps convinced him otherwise. Besides, what if Anne didn’t mind? John shuddered.  He had not got Anne committed to him in any way. What if she looked on him as a casual friend?  John was tapping King Kong’s arm before he realized he had moved at all!

“Thanks pal, I’d like to have my girl back, if you don’t mind,”

King Kong opened his eyes and starred at John.  Here goes the cracker! John braced himself.

Surprisingly, King Kong smiled and let go of Anne.

“Sorry. Didn’t know she was hooked,”

John couldn’t believe his ears.  He grabbed Anne and held her tightly.  Anne was laughing.

“Was that your boyfriend?” he asked

Anne laughed louder. She said nothing.

It was time to cool the tempo of the party. The D.J. was now playing slow numbers and someone dimmed the lights. Suddenly, there were some activities on one side of the dancing hall. Anne could see that a projector was being used to play a video on one of the four walls of the sitting room.

Curious, she looked closer. To her surprise, it was a pornographic video.

Anne was embarrassed.  She looked around cautiously.  All eyes were glued to the wall. She looked at John. He was watching the images on the wall with keen interest too. She tried not to look, but curiosity got the better of her. A few minutes later she felt John’s hands exploring her body.

“John!”  Anne protested, surprised.

John wasn’t deterred. Suddenly, he kissed her. Anne gently pushed him back.

“Can we sit down for a while?” She asked and made her way out of the dancing floor without waiting for his response.

The gentle evening breeze stroked Anne’s face. She was sitting beside John in John’s mother’s car, a white Honda Civic, 1982 model, which they had driven to the party.  John drove the car gently from the busy high way into the quiet road leading to the GRA. They were on their way back home.

Anne’s heart was pounding. She liked John or maybe she even loved him, but he hadn’t told her how he felt about her.  What if he had another girl, or even other girls back in Lagos?  The car was slowing down.  John parked off a major road and turned off the ignition.  He stared straight ahead, not saying any thing.  It was a beautiful night. The stars shone bring in the sky.

“Anne, I don’t know how to say this, but I think I’m falling in love with You’.  John spoke slowly without looking at her. Anne was quiet.

“I’ve never felt this way before,” John continued. “I don’t want to make a fool of myself.  Do you feel anything for me, Anne?”

“I don’t know. I like you, but,

“Is there someone else?”

“No.”

“I want you to be mine, Anne.  Just the two of us.   You know what I’m saying”.

Anne laughed. “You know what I’m saying?” She mimicked. John laughed too. ‘Well, is that a yes?

Anne smiled teasingly. “What do you think?”

John didn’t bother giving a reply.  He reached out for her and gave her a long kiss.

Elsewhere, about the same time, Mary was in deep trouble.  She had left the party earlier with her friend, Taiye and two boys, Chucks and Bola. Chucks was Taiye’s boyfriend and Bola was Chuck’s friend.  It was obvious that

Bola was interested in dating her.  She didn’t mind that.  What bothered her was that Bola seemed to think he was ‘Mr. Universe’. He was handsome all right, and she wasn’t bad looking herself.  Maybe girls were falling over themselves to date him.  Big deal!  Boys were falling over themselves to date her too!  Taiye, Chucks and Mary were students at the University of Lagos, while Bola was at the University of Ibadan.  Earlier on, at the party, Mary had told Anne and John that Chucks would bring her home.  John had been delighted.  It was obvious he wanted some time alone with Anne.

Mary had gone off with the other three and here they were, at Chuck’s house. They were in Chuck’s bedroom where Chucks and Bola were examining some white powdery substance, which Chucks referred to as Cocaine! Mary was scared.  She had known Chucks back at school but she could never have guessed that he was into Cocaine.  His father was into some business and was apparently wealthy.  Chucks drove his own car at school!

“Don’t be a spoilt sport, Taiye, come on, give it a try,”

Chuck’s eyes were glazed. He looked funny and he slurred as he spoke.

From the way Taiye was giggling, Mary suspected she wasn’t a stranger to what was going on.

Excerpts:

10 REASONS WHY WIVES CHEAT!

Why do wives cheat? Contrary to what many believe, it is hardly ever forlack of sexual satisfaction! Wives hardly ever cheat for better sex. Wives begin with emotional affairs which could turn sexual!

Here is a look at ten reasons why wives cheat.

1)         Inattentive husbands

One of the principal reasons why women get married is for companionship. When a woman ends up with an inattentive husband, one who is too pre-occupied with his work, religion or some other things, there is a tendency for her to drift towards a more attentivefellow.

2)         Feelings of not being valued

When a woman begins to feel like she is just another piece of furniture in the home, there may be trouble ahead especially if she comes across a fellow who makes her feel like a prized Diamond!

3)         Feelings of not being appreciated

This is close to not feeling valued. In many homes, husbands hardly let their wives know that they appreciate the latter’s contribution to the home or to their success. We all like people saying ‘thank you’ to us, don’t we? When that wife meets someone who appreciates everything she does, well.

4)         Feelings of being taken for granted

Many times, husbands assume that their wives don’t have a choice and will stay with them forever. They begin to do things that show that she can go to hell, for all they care! When that wife meets someone else who lets her know that her opinions matter,

Well.

5)         Absentee husbands

The difference from an inattentive husband is that this one is hardly ever at home! The office, the church or the Club are what the poor wife has to contend with! In comes a neighbour or colleague at work who is always there to fix her car or help with just about anything that husbands are supposed to do. Hello trouble!

6)         Child husbands

When a woman finds herself married to an immature husband who does not believe that it is his responsibility to provide for the home, she can be tempted when a man that is ready to give her the good things of life shows up. That’s just the way the cookie crumbles!

7)         Pre-marital sex

Pre-marital sex? Yep! Research has actually shown that folks who engage in pre-marital sex are more prone to committing adultery! God designed sex exclusively for married couples. When people engage in pre-marital sex, they sow a seed of immorality and they are often prone to repeating the pattern after marriage. After pre-marital sex, marital infidelity is really no big deal!

8)         Abusive husbands

An abused woman often remains in a marriage because she lacks self worth or has a low self esteem. Some even believe in a sadistic sort of way that they deserve the abuse! If the woman however comes into contact with a man that treats her with kindness and she realizes that she is worth something after all, she’s on her way out of the abusive marriage!

9)         Having a parent who committed adultery

This is probably new to you. When a parent commits adultery to the knowledge of their kids (and you’ll be surprised how much children really know) they set a pattern which their children often follow in future! Children are copy cats! It is immaterial whether the parent’s conduct is right or wrong. They tend to replicate that conduct in later life!

10)       Wrong associations

When a woman hangs around friends whose moral code is below hers, only one thing can happen. They will drag her down with them! They may even provide her with the man to have an affair with!

I hope you’re now a bit wiser guys! You’re not the only one who can cheat

Excerpts:

The rate of divorce worldwide stands at 57%! This does not include separated couples and couples living in unhappy homes.

Why is the institution of marriage in such a terrible state today?

God had a purpose in mind when he established the institution of marriage as the first institution in the world. Marriage is the foundation of the home and the home is the foundation of all human society!

When God put Adam in the Garden of Eden which became Adam and Eve’s home, God commanded him to dress and to keep it. Another word for keep is to hedge about or guard.

It was Adam’s responsibility to guard his home against Satan who had been cast out of heaven even before the earth was re-created in Genesis chapter 1.

Unfortunately, Adam failed woefully! Satan attacked the first marriage and he is still attacking marriages today because he understands how important the marriage institution is to God’s plan for humanity! Satan’s quest in attacking the first marriage and in attacking marriages today is to ensure that God’s purpose for establishing the institution of marriage is not fulfilled!

By the time Satan finished with Adam and Eve, their home was destroyed and the unending battle against the institution of marriage had begun.

From that dreadful day in the Garden of Eden till now, Satan has not stopped attacking and wrecking homes. If you are married, you better understand that your home is a spiritual battle ground! If your marriage succeeds, God’s plan and purpose for humanity triumphs! If your marriage fails, Satan succeeds and God’s plan and purpose for establishing the institution of marriage is further thwarted!

If your marriage is fast becoming a nightmare, believe me, you are not alone. As I write this introduction, hundreds and thousands of couples are contemplating divorce or separation all over the world. We are all involved in an eternal conflict that will not end until Jesus Christ comes back like He said He would!

I want you to understand that Divorce was never part of God’s plan for humanity. It destroys God’s purpose for marriage and His plan for humanity!

In Matthew 19, when some Pharisees asked Jesus why Moses permitted divorce, Jesus reminded them that this was not the case at the beginning. He stated emphatically,

“What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder”

Again God declared emphatically in Malachi 2:16

“….I hate divorce and marital separation…”

God has not changed His mind about divorce and He cannot because it destroys His plan and purpose for humanity.

Let me ask you my friend, whose side are you on in this Great War against marriage institution? Will God’s purpose for the institution of marriage stand in your life and your home or will Satan destroy God’s purpose for the institution of marriage in your life and your home?

Will you keep (guard) your Garden of Eden or will you allow the enemy to come in and wreck your home?

Will you fight to save your home and your marriage?

Follow me as we discover how you can fight for your marriage and home and actually win!!

Excerpts:

There are no marriages made in heaven! Marriage is tough work and it takes working at it daily to succeed. This is the harsh cold truth.

Statistics show that over 57% of marriages end up failing these days! And do you know why? Because people still believe that people can fall in love, get married and live together happily forever ever after. No arguments, no disagreements and no difference of opinions!

If you are married you know this only happens in fairy tale books and movies!

People also believe that having a successful marriage is a question of luck. You have little or nothing to do with it. It’s a matter of destiny!

Hogwash!

While it is possible to have a wonderful marriage, it is hard work. You have to follow the principles that guarantee success in marriage as revealed in the Bible, if you want your marriage to succeed. There is no other way!

This book is for couples who need a miracle in their marriages and believe me, there are a whole lot of people out there who need a miracle if their marriage is to survive!

Fortunately, we have an almighty God who is in the business of working miracles!

He is the Almighty, the Omnipotent one and there is nothing, absolutely nothing He cannot do, except go against His word.

But how do you get a miracle in your marriage?

One of the ways is to simple asked God for help in prayer!

God knows what you are going through in our marriage but He will not do anything except you ask for his help in prayer of faith moves Him!

Now, maybe you have been praying but you have no answers, no miracles.

Is God unmerciful or has he lost His powers or id He not just interested in helping you?

Well, God doesn’t answer every prayer and there are many reasons for that. But let me just say that there is a way to pray and a way not to pray.

There is something called “praying amiss” in the Bible! When you don’t follow the principles laid out in the Bible on prayer, it is as good as not praying at all! You cannot get any answers to prayers that way!

You’ve probably heard people say that prayer changes things. I think there is even a Car sticker that says that. Well, that isn’t quite correct! It’s only the right kind of prayer that changes things and that is because the right kind of prayer moves the hand of God and with God nothing shall be impossible!

What I have done in this book is to teach you know to pray the right kind of prayers for your marriage. I explained major issues that lead to marital disharmony, separation or divorce; and I listed necessary prayer points to help you deal with them in your marriage!

This is a practical book. You are expected to use the prayer points as arrows or bullets against every force of darkness warring against your marriage and home!

Make no mistake my friend. Your spouse is not the enemy. There are hidden forces whose major pre-occupation is the destruction of marriages and homes and the only way to resist them is to fight. If you are not ready to fight, your marriage is over. Period!

If you need a miracle to save your marriage, I want you to put down this book now, lift up your hands and give thanks to God for bringing this book your way! The fact that you are reading this book tells me that this is the time for your miracles!

Your miracle is here!

Excerpts:

Love is probably the most abused word in the world. Every one agrees that love is the life of every Love relationship and over the years, perhaps the question I have most often been asked is,

“How do I know true Love?”

When a man and a woman meet and fall in love, most of the time, marriage is the next step. Various crimes have been committed all over the world in the name of Love. People have been known to commit suicide and murder in the name of love!

When people who fall in love get married, they are supposed to live together, forever happily ever after. Sadly, this is often not the case.

I am sure you know some couples who fell in love and couldn’t live without each other before they got married. Two or so years down the road however, they are at the divorce court because they now can’t live with each other! They’ve fallen out of love!

I have heard people say there is nothing like true love. Some say it is all a fairy tale. It’s like the pot of gold at the end of a Rainbow! It is magical and unreal. It is something everyone longs for but something no one will ever experience!

If you are no longer in love with your spouse, I am sure that in all likelihood, you were in love with your spouse before you got married. What happened? You fell out of love!

May I suggest to you that you fell out of love because you were never really in love! What you had wasn’t true love!

How do I know?

For one, you don’t fall out of true love! When it is true love, once in love, it lasts forever.

Well, let me boldly announce to you that true Love is not a mirage! It is real and everyone including you and I can find it.

My business in this book is to introduce you to True Love and to show you how to stay in love AFTER marriage!

Love is definitely not what you think it is! I guarantee that. The good news is that you can still find love in that marriage that you now consider dead! You just need to know how to find love, true love!

When you find true love in marriage, life takes on new meaning. You will come alive, your life will glow and you will experience joy, peace and fulfillment in your marriage as God intended from the beginning.

It was Martin Luther King Jr that said “The only force capable of transforming an enemy to a friend is Love!”

Even if your spouse has now become your enemy, my friend, believe it or not, what you need in your marriage is to find love. Divorce or separation is not the answer!

Follow along as we discover what true love really is and how to find true love in your marriage!

3 Major Reasons Why Relationships Fail

3 Major Reasons Why Relationships fail by Niyi Odunsi

If you have ever been in a courtship or marriage that failed, If you are in a courtship or marriage that isn’t working out, If you intend to enter into courtship or get married someday, THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU!

In this book, you will learn about three major reason why relationships fail and you will also learn how to take practical steps to avoid these deadly reasons and more.

Excerpts:

I have met several people who have been in lots of relationships without ever making a success of any of such relationships!

When I talk with folks like these, I am always amazed that most of the time they don’t really know why they haven’t made a success of any love relationship!

I often hear excuses like,

“Well, I just haven’t met the right person!”

“I haven’t been lucky!”

I once met a lady of about forty who had never been married! When I asked her why, she thought for a while and then said, “I really don’t know!”

I thought, well, if you don’t know, you are not going to succeed in the next one either!

I did not like Mathematics when I was in High School. I was an A student but I hated Maths! I failed Maths dutifully in my senior classes!

When I got to my final year, every one was concerned. In those days, WAEC results came out as Grades 1, 2, or 3.

If you made an A in six or seven subjects but got an F9 in Mathematics or English you were done for. That would fetch you a grade 3! You would have to sit for the exams again!

We had our Mock WAEC examinations and I got straight “A” marks except in Maths! My late father asked me what I thought the problem was. Well, I didn’t know! To be honest, I had never thought of it!

My father was livid! I can’t remember him ever being that angry with me before or after that. How would I ever improve if I don’t know what I was doing wrong?

Well, I got the point finally, that day!

I settled down with the help of a Math’s teacher and we identified what I was doing wrong over the next few weeks and I finally got a hang of it!

I am happy to report that I barely made it in the WAEC examinations. I got a P7 in mathematics but it was enough to earn me a Grade I result!

It’s the same when it comes to Love Relationships! You see, to succeed in your next love relationship, you must identify what has been going wrong in your past relationships.

In this book, I have helped you to identify three important reasons why Love Relationships fail and I have also stated what to do to avoid making these mistakes.

I pray that this book will help you succeed in Love!

excerpts:

She sat in front of my desk at the office at about 11.00am in the morning. Her eyes were red from crying and gentle sobs still wracked her body. Mary a beautiful accountant in one of the first generation banks in Lagos Nigeria wiped the tears off her eyes as she stared at me, her pretty face marked with worry lines.

“I don’t know what to do. I am so confused.”

We had been talking or she had been talking and I listening for about forty- five minutes. Mary was filled with anger resentment and perhaps hate towards John, her husband. Mary and John had been married for some eight years and had two lovely children. They were members of a popular Pentecostal church in Lagos and had become Born Again before they met and started dating. Mary had just decided that it was now time to leave her husband. She couldn’t bear to live with him anymore. After all efforts to placate her had failed, her pastor had sent her to me, a Christian lawyer, to help her with the divorce.

Her pastor, a dear friend, being aware of my position on divorce had actually sent her to me hoping that God would use me to reach her. In my younger days in the faith, I had prosecuted divorce not seeing anything wrong with it.

Later however after understanding God’s position through the Bible, I decided I would no longer prosecute divorce cases.

As I asked Mary some questions, I began to understand why she felt so bitter towards her husband. Mary was convinced that since her early days as a Christian, God had called her into the music ministry. (Her pastor assured me later on that she indeed had a remarkable voice and had been very active in the church choir until recent times) Questioned about why she hadn’t pursued music as a career or ministry, she informed me tearfully that she couldn’t because it would result in her quitting her job, which she could not because her husband was not up to his responsibilities. She paid the rent and the children’s school fees from her pay-cheque.

I ran my hand over my bald- head and tried to get directions from the Holy Spirit. I felt I should ask her about their dating and court-ship days. Her answerers revealed the source of her troubles. From the casual way she responded to my questions however, it was obvious that she was totally ignorant of the source of her problems.

John met Mary while she was still in school. He had graduated some four years earlier. John being older and wiser set the pace for their relationship.

He was definite and direct and he told Mary he wanted to marry her weeks after they began dating. Mary was however not so sure about getting married to him. She was pretty and she quite frankly felt she deserved someone better than John. Her parents and siblings shared the same opinion. John, bespectacled looked more like a college professor than Mary’s knight in shinning armor. He was neither handsome nor muscular. To Mary, he was just plain.

Mary was however not on good terms with her parents. They had all but neglected her being preoccupied with their own battles. Mary’s father had taken another wife and Mary’s mother had been in opposition for at least twenty years. The atmosphere at home was not cordial. It was more like a war front with both parents exhibiting fierce hostilities towards each other openly.

When Mary met John, she did not see anything wrong in Christians engaging in heavy petting. John didn’t think it was right but Mary was quite attractive. Initially she was the aggressor. John didn’t need too much persuasion. After a few petting sessions they were sleeping together.

Mary continued singing in the choir while John was an usher.

After three years of dating, John wanted marriage. Mary still felt he wasn’t the right person for her. For one, he still looked the same, not good enough for her. Secondly, she felt he wasn’t romantic. .John blamed that on his up bringing. He had never seen his parents hug each other not to talk of kiss each other. He promised to change after they were married. Thirdly, Mary felt he couldn’t help her in her music ministry.

He was more into and appreciated classical music while she preferred contemporary music. Mary believed it would make more sense to marry someone musically inclined.

John was not. Fourthly and perhaps most worrying to Mary, she found herself always drawn to better looking men. This she felt was a recipe for disaster. She often wondered if they had any common interest apart from sex.

So why did she marry John?.

John had always been and still was kind and considerate. She valued his friendship and counsel. When he threatened to stop seeing her if she wouldn’t marry him, she couldn’t bear the thought of his being out of her life. What if John was God’s will for her and she missed it?. Perhaps she was being worldly wanting to marry a prince in shinning armor instead of a plain fellow like John.

John soon followed up on his promise to change. He wore his hair in curls and started attending a gymnasium to put on some muscles. Mary was impressed. John had done so much to prove that he loved her. It would be unfair to turn him down after all he had done to impress her. They got married with Mary hoping that John would be transformed into the man of his dreams.

After six months of marriage, John was not more romantic than he was during courtship. He stopped body- building. He simply couldn’t find the time any more. Their first child was on the way. He had to spend more time at work. She had to learn to love him for who he was. She tried but couldn’t.

Eight years down the road, she still wanted her knight in shinning armor. She now felt conned into marriage and trapped. She told me she had contemplated suicide twice.

Many people will say that Mary and John’s marriage was doomed from the beginning. There appear to be quite a lot of pointers to this. Mary herself was able to identify most of the mistakes they made. I was however not really surprised that she did not consider what I considered to be perhaps the foundational error as one of the mistakes they made.

She never spoke of fornication. When I pointed out to her that the sin of fornication was at the root of her problems, she stared at me in open disbelief. Having gotten married, she had felt they had corrected whatever mistakes they made. After all the Bible does say it was better to marry than to burn.

I felt it would help the couple if I had the opportunity of hearing both sides. On a rainy and very wet day, John found his way to my office. He had called on phone to confirm the appointment Mary had helped him fix. On the phone, he sounded pleasant and relieved that his wife had consulted a Christian lawyer for divorce. Since I had hottest:

CHOICE

I still remember fifteen-year-old Lovi with her pretty face marked with worry lines as she waited for me to finish talking with another teenager.

As soon as I was through, she moved nearer.  She wore a jean skirt and jacket and looked more mature than her fifteen years. “Yes, you wanted a word Lovi?” I asked smiling to encourage her she smiled at me and clutched her books nervously. “It’s something you said during the seminar. You said it’s better to get married in God’s will. Does that mean God has someone picked out for me and I have to get married to that person whether I like him or not?”

I smiled again. Had someone received a word of prophecy that Lovi was to marry him? I wondered. She looked quite worried. “Well, I don’t think God would pick out someone you don’t like for you to marry. I could see a few of the worry lines disappear from her face. “Is it true that God made me from a man’s rib and I won’t have a happy marriage unless I get married to the owner of the rib?”

I tried my best not to laugh; I don’t think God made you from some man’s rib. I know your parents. Look, I don’t believe that there is only one man that you must get married to in the world.  I believe there are a lot of men that can make you happy.

The worry lines were almost gone

“Well, someone said I can make out a list of the qualities I want in a man—-

“You mean like his height, complexion, nationality, biscept size, the length of his nose?” I interrupted.

“Well, something like that.” she replied not sound too confident-I cough slightly to avoid laughing.

“I suppose you could, afterall God said he will give us the desires of our heart.”

The worry lines vanished and I continued, “the only problem is that there are two people involved in getting married. What guarantees do you have that whoever matches your list will want someone exactly like you? For example, if you want a tall husband, what if your match wants a tall wife and you are not as tall as the wife he wants?”

The worry lines started to appear

“I hadn’t thought of that, I continued

“You must understand that it’s not quite wise to limit your choice to looks and other external stuff. People tend to grow old and change you know.

If someone likes you because of your figure now, what’s going to happen in about ten years when you’ve had two kids and put on some weight? The worry lines deepened.

“Again if you marry someone just because he’s rich, what’s going to happen if he has a stoke of bad luck and looses all the money?

If you marry someone because hes a football star? What’s going to happen if he breaks a leg and can’t run anymore?”

I had burst Lovi’s bubble. “I hadn’t thought of that: she repeated. “Well now, even if it were possible to find someone matching your list and that person has a list which you match, that’s no guarantee that you’re going to have a happy marriage, Lovi looked surprised.

“I don’t understand.”

“Well you can’t judge a gift by its packaging, can you?  You have to unwrap the gift to know what’s really inside. It’s the same with humans. Character is much more important than books. You need someone with great strength of character, someone with integrity, someone who can stay committed to you no matter what comes along.

Now you can’t know if someone has all that just by their looks.

“What if someone is really great inside but they’re really ugly. Do I have to marry them?”

I couldn’t believe my ears! I had to laugh this time.

“Have you been having dreams that you’re going to end up getting married to a toad?” Lovi laughed too

“It’s not that, it’s just that

I thought I had some idea of what the problem could be, “Has someone been making proposals to you?”

She gave an embarrassed laugh. That was enough confirmation. How ugly could the fellow be to have the girl this worried? I wondered.

“Look Lovi, you’re fifteen and you have your life ahead of you. It’s time to date, if you want to. It’s definitely not time to talk about courtship or engagement not to talk of marriage. If the fellow bothers you again, tell him you’ll talk to me about it. That should scare him off.

But back to your question,

“I haven’t said looks don’t matter. They do matter. It’s not wise to get married to someone if you think they are ugly. You’ll regret it in future. It doesn’t matter how good they are on the inside.

If it’s a big deal to you, don’t do it.”

“But I wouldn’t really call anyone ugly.

As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people may not look so great physically but they are so beautiful inside that you hardly even notice that they don’t look to great physically. “You shouldn’t feel bad about not wanting to get married to someone because you don’t like their looks. Some else will like them just the way they are.

You’ll find someone just right for you if you are patient and if you can trust God to do it.

I could see that some weight had lifted off Lovi’s shoulders as she smiled at me.

“Thanks a lot.  I feel a lot better. Can I walk you to your car?

“Sure, I’m glad I could be of help.”

MARGARET, stunningly beautiful, innocent and alone on the streets of Milan, Italy, hunted by the Mafia, wanted by the Police. This is a book that is guaranteed to change your outlook about life and God’s purpose for man’s existence.

Excerpts:

Dr Samuel Lawrence was pleased with himself. He grinned, as he looked at the photograph of his one year old son again. The boy was his spitting image! He was glad he was finally going to have some time with his son. He had been visiting almost everyday and sometimes sleeping over at the apartment he had rented for Gbemi, Junior’s mother some two years back. He was still grinning when Victoria walked in. He quickly dropped the photograph and rose up from behind his desk to cut her off. It was best to keep her away from his table.

Victoria saw her husband drop the photograph and quickly guessed that it had something to do with the secret trip. She understood her husband’s game so she stopped and waited for him to leave his table. She needed to see the photograph badly.

“Is there a problem?” Samuel asked cautiously.

“No. I came to inform you that Jane came out tops in the Quiz competition,”

“Wonderful,”

Victoria could sense the relief in his voice.

“Is that all?”

“Yes. That’s all.”

Samuel smiled and headed for the door to ease his wife out. At that instant, Victoria rushed to the table and picked up the photograph. A fat one- year old boy smiled at her. He was unmistakably Samuel’s son.

Samuel stood rooted to the spot. His wife had tricked him!

“Can I have the photograph back, please?”

Victoria looked at him, moved to one of the windows close bye and flung the photograph out.

“Just what do you think you’re doing?” Samuel bellowed.

“I think you should tell me what the hell you think you’re doing.” Victoria countered.

Samuel seemed to realize that his anger wasn’t going to help matters.

“Calm down. I can explain everything.” he implored.

Victoria’s eyes scanned the table quickly. Sure enough, Samuel’s International Passport and Air ticket were lying on the table. She grabbed them and turned to face him, eyes blazing.

“Can you explain these? Can you?” She turned the pages of the Passport furiously.

“So you were planning to elope to South Africa with your concubine and that bastard?”

Samuel’s countenance changed.

“Look!”

Victoria cut in again.

“I see that you haven’t learnt your lesson. We’ll see what will become of

this one too.”

Samuel moved closer to his wife. “What does that mean?”

“This one too cannot survive. God will kill him”

Unconsciously, Samuel grabbed his wife by the throat.

“You are mad. Stark raving mad.”

He squeezed hard at her throat.

Victoria knew she was choking. From the look in Samuel’s eyes, he wasn’t about to let go of her. She could read hatred and blue murder in his eyes. She clawed frantically at his eyes but he wouldn’t let go of her. As she began to weaken Victoria became afraid.  Her eyes caught sight of a bottle of wine on the table and she managed to pick it up. With all the strength she could muster, she brought the bottle down hard on Samuel’s head.

Samuel’s grasp loosened and he staggered like a drunken man away from her. As if in a dream, she watched as blood began to gush out of Samuel’s head. She could see shock and surprise on his face as he looked at her. She watched as Samuel collapsed in a heap on the floor. Well, he sure wasn’t going to South Africa. Not anymore, she thought to herself.

*******************************************

The cold night wind bit cruelly into Margaret’s half clad body. She bit her lower lip and robbed her hands together trying to generate as much heat as she could. It was 2:00am in Milan, North of Italy.  The city was far from being asleep as cars sped to and fro on the busy streets. Many of the restaurants, nightclubs and Cinemas were still open.

Margaret looked up at the sky and it looked like rain. Across the street, she spotted a Police Patrol car slowly driving into a parking space. With measured steps, she stepped back into an alley to observe the occupants of the car. She recognized Bruno, a nice police officer who however played strictly by the book. She had been warned about him, he was not into bribes. She stepped back further into the alley and kept watching.

The occupants remained in the car for about three minutes and then the car pulled out of the car park and sped off. Heaving a sigh of relief, she stepped out again into the light.  She wore a strap-less black blouse and a very short black skirt.  With her high-heeled red shoes, red handbag and light complexioned skin, she stood out on the 46th Street on sighting her, a Ferrari skidded to a halt within a few feet away.  A prospective customer,

Margaret thought and following instructions, she moved, hips swinging provocatively towards the car.

The driver, a youngish looking boy who seemed he was out in the street way up past his bed-time, took one look at her and pressed his foot hard on the accelerator. Maybe he preferred a white lady, Margaret reasoned. Edwina had assured her that she was a looker but this was Milan and there were a lot of beautiful European, Chinese and other African ladies on the streets. Not too many of them were out working at this end though.  It was an area regularly patrolled by the police and many avoided it like the plague. Most of the girls did not have valid immigration papers and if you were arrested you were sure of being deported.

But Margaret was desperate. She had only managed two customers all day. She needed ten to make her target.  Edwina wasn’t going to be too pleased if she got less than five customers that night.

Margaret shuddered as her mind went to Edwina. It was now six months since she arrived in Italy with five other girls to work in Edwina’s boutique in Rome. Two nights after their arrival, they were introduced to two men, Nigerians, who Edwina referred to as their ‘bosses’. The men informed them that they were to work as prostitutes in Rome and Milan!

There were complaints and objections from all the girls.  Edwina explained that it had cost her far too much money than she expected to bring them into Italy. She had obtained a loan to pay their way.  Her creditors wanted their money and working at her saloon would take far too long to repay the money. She would have to train them for about a year to start with, and she didn’t have that time.

As prostitutes, they would pay her back sooner and then, they were free! Each girl was to pay $45,000. They were lucky not to have to pay for their boarding, she had explained magnanimously! At 300,000 lire a day, they would pay her back in about three years!

The girls were devastated. They had nowhere to go and no one to turn to. They couldn’t even speak Italian, German, or French at all and couldn’t even speak English that well.  Then there was the matter of the contracts they had signed and the oaths they had taken.  None of them wanted to go mad and die eventually. The memory of the two naked women back home was enough a deterrent.

One of the girls did attempt to bolt away though. Unfortunately for her, she didn’t get very far. She was soon caught and brought back to Edwina. She was beaten until she went into a coma! No one else tried to get away after that.
