(Episode 49) LOVE AFFAIRS | A novel of the OmidanWURA_files By Segun Alonge Jr

"Please, stop calling me, Ayomi. I don’t want you calling me by that name anymore. My name is Olajumoke," She said.

‘Why? What does it do to you?’

‘Forget about what it does to me. But not calling me by that actually makes me feel better.’

‘But you said ‘AyoAde’ still exists’

‘I Said!'

‘Oh! Not again?’

‘I guess’

I see! My one and only sweetheart! Ayomi is like the air I breathe. It’s too late

‘Then I would be forced to do what I don’t want to do.’

Anything my dear! ‘Block me on social media, delete my contact. Or better still…. Assassinate me’

‘I already opted out of this relationship a long time ago because I wasn’t sure of what I wanted. And now, I’m sure’

‘Is that what you did not want to do?’

‘It is what I’ve done already. Just reminding you in case you have forgotten’

‘So…. What more? Ayomi… What more?’

‘I’M OUT!’

‘But at least a relationship is between two people. It might be temporal with you but it is eternal with me. I’M IN!’

‘Maybe you think I’m joking about this. But I’m dead serious’

‘You are ALIVE serious,’ please.

——
Months later, she came visiting at my new apartment without a prior invitation. All through her stay, she acted as though we were still lovebirds and I did flow along too.

I had waited for her to verbally affirm that the relationship was over right there before my eyes. We never started the relationship on chat. So, it could not as well end via chats.

She hesitated to bring up the topic. I decided to let the cat out of the bag while her stay was becoming burdensome. She affirmed that she still cared much about me but it’s over between us. I asked her if she was sure about her decision and she replied, yes!

Since I saw no reason why she should still be around at just a friend’s place, I initiated a vacation through words and deeds – her official language.

I sought advice from few eternal friends and they all said I can’t force her into marriage. But I knew our relationship was not just a feeling…. It was divinely orchestrated.

“Beware brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God”
Hebrews 3:12

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
