(Episode 36) LOVE AFFAIRS | A novel of the OmidanWURA_files By Segun Alonge Jr

The love and care was mutual and real. We became best of friends, sharing so many things in common.

Friends would tease and refer to us as five and six. It was clear to them that soon, they would receive wedding invitation from us.

Part of the resolutions I made even before entering into a marriage relationship was that I was not going to be a burden on anyone. Hence, I learnt to live complete and whole. I would make all the meals I love to eat and much more. I never wanted a relationship for the purpose of fulfilling mundane bodily desires - until the time was right.

(Omidan Wura cuts in)
‘Prince, please permit me to make a submission at this juncture,’ Omidan Wuraola pleaded.

‘Go ahead,’ my dear.
I once wrote a pen that flashed through my mind immediately you mentioned being complete and whole. I believe it is worthy of sharing at this juncture.

(She ran her finger across her phone screen and in no time found the file - as she began to read.)

YOU CALL THIS LOVE?
In stages, it did began
With simple suggestions it all started
Coupled with various experiences of the past
A soul suffering from the act of rejection
Another waiting to get involved as a consolation
Together they both launched out
Never thinking the foundation might be faltered

In stages, events unfolding
A mirage gradually growing into a reality
Leaving everyone with an eye of suspicion
Although a caring heart was waiting
Willing to express true love and share the gaiety
In order to heal the freshly wounded soul
Preferred was a burden appearing like loving

In stages, it actually was growing
With assurance that souls are really blending
Sharing lots of quality time and words of affirmation
But doubts of parental consent and confirmation
Never giving a listening ear even to those who genuinely care
Advice pouring in like water gushing out a faucet
I would listen rather to my heart was the reply

In stages, still cannot figure out
Trying hard to make it work no matter the end result
Though the future look clumsy and ill-shaded
Still keeps rigid about the very one in sight
Pulling down every other virtues that makes one worthwhile
From self worth through career to family bonds
Just to make this dream come true
BELIEVING THAT IS WHAT IT TAKES TO LOVE........

MAN AND RELIGION | Segun M. Alonge Jr

'Everyone is first human - religion came to separate us' - Segun M. Alonge Jr In speaking about religion and religious worldviews, I do not intend to exalt one at the expense of the other. I strongly believe that religion is man's orchestrated most potent means of satisfying his heart search for a creator - with the intention of finding meaning to his existence. Going back in time, history portrays one of man's greatest edifice - The tower of Babel (1). The whole earth had one language and one speech. There was unity in focus and they decided to erect a monument to maintain this oneness eternally - Man was then in a fallen state! Come, let us(unity in trinity) go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech (2). Elohim stepped into the scene and confused the language of all the earth. Prior to this time, man had began to call on the name of the Lord (3) as an act of worshipping the now invisible creator and to create

Revealed! THE WORLD AND YOU

THE QUESTION IS OFTEN ASKED, what should be the relationship of the followers of Christ with the world system? So many have tried to withdraw entirely from the systems due to the fear of being corrupted. Moving around town some months ago, on the streets of Ilorin, Kwara State, I was especially drawn to the various business enterprises around town, but most especially the big eateries. I do not really know the owners of these enterprises but one thing I’m sure of - they are patronized by Christians as well. CHRISTIANITY IS NOT SYNONYMOUS WITH INFERIORITY The mentality of a consumer is so rampant in the Christian faith – some of which sprang from the idea that since Jesus is coming soon, we need not invest in something that would be of lasting value. It is disheartening to hear these same teachings from most of the pulpits. This has made many believers limit themselves in what they can achieve. WE ARE NOT HERE TO SURVIVE So many just live to get by. Investing in lucrative busines
