(Episode 44) LOVE AFFAIRS | A novel of the OmidanWURA_files By Segun Alonge Jr

Ayomi, please! What do you want me to do? Anything!

‘When I know what I want, I would let you know. At the moment, I don’t know what I want’.

‘But dear, I am disturbed.’ Mum would sure ask after you when I finally go back home ….. I’ve delayed the discussion until now. We are not communicating… that’s not ideal for a union. It’s creating a gap I don’t want to fill with anyone or anything. Can you please respond?

‘Ok’

Just that!

‘I am responding’

‘What is it about the break you have always longed for,’ I pressed further

‘I don’t know what to say really’

‘Is that from your heart?’

‘I don’t know. I can’t seem to figure it out’.

Ayomi, after a year together! We ought to enjoy mutual love and happiness. Agreed… I offended you by not seeing you off to the park. But you didn’t inform me either.

‘OK’

‘Please talk to me’

‘Really, I don’t have anything to say until I know what I want. And right now, I am confused. So, it’s best I don’t say anything.’

‘Confused? About me?’

‘I am confused about myself. I don’t know what I want’

‘From me?’

‘No. what I want for myself’

‘Like… the kind of person you want?’

‘Not really. Like… if I want anyone at all’

‘But you said it’s a capital NO to celibacy?’

‘Yeah, that was then’

‘Ayomi, let’s talk about you please. We can discuss around it’

‘Go ahead’

‘Are you still in love with me?’

‘I guess so’

Oh! It’s now a guess?

‘I don’t know what I feel. I don’t know what I want’

Alright! Thanks for everything. I’m sure working on my flaws. I’m coping with my person, genuineness and tenderness. Forever grateful! See you at dawn…. When these shady times roll by

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
