“I really want to listen to this guy if you don’t mind,” She retorted. “If I were you, I’d listen too. I’m sure you’ll learn something!” Read more
Love; Grandpa’s way!
“Love is not a feeling, it is a duty”
I looked at Grandpa as he sat, his feet on a cushion, peering at Sade and I from behind his thick bifocals, his false teeth gleaming in the bright morning light. He really didn’t look his 91 years! He looked more like 70 in his sparkling royal blue Guinea Brocade!
My wife, Sade and I had come on a visit to Grandpa Smith, my mother’s Uncle, because he asked us to see him unfailingly. Sade and I were having some trouble getting along after two years of marriage and trust my mother; she had rushed to Grandpa Smith telling him I was contemplating divorce! Read more

Funke was quiet for a while.

What do you believe?
The lady before me was more than troubled. She was thirty-two years old, still single and most unhappy about that fact. All her friends were married with kids and she had about had enough of people trying to match make!
Aduke was by all standards a pretty lady. Light skinned and petit, she really didn’t look her age. She had a good job in an oil company and hers was a somewhat charming personality. One of her friends had asked her to see me and she had reluctantly agreed.
Quite frankly, she believed her problem was beyond redemption. She believed her family was under a curse that drives away all prospective suitors and she was destined to go to her grave a spinster! Read more
