STORY: BEAUTIFUL BELINA (Episode 6)

Adewale arrived at Living Faith Bible Church & met d place open. He hadn’t been to church
for more than 2months so he was surprised when he saw some changes in d church.
He headed towards the altar looking like a prodigal son &when he got there, he knelt
down & all he could do was stare blankly. He stared at d pulpit & remembered d times
d pastor had preached on Faith but it made no sense to him then.
He held onto d pulpit & tried to say something to God but nothing seemed to come out of
his mouth so he let his thoughts do d talking.
He laid on d altar some minutes later & felt peace from within.
All his thoughts & worries seemed to have flown away &
within minutes, he was asleep.
***
Tunji laid on his extra-large bed in similarly massive room
thinking about what he had planned to do for d night. His mind kept on telling him that it was not a good idea & that it was too risky but he ignored it.
He had seen Belina at his dad’s birthday party & had instantly fallen for her. He had bragged
& told everyone that she would
be his girl soon but he had tried
all his possible best and hadn’t
been able to get her to at least
smile in his direction for the past
one month.
His phone started ringing and he
when he noticed that it was
Belina’s father, he picked up
immediately. After talking for
some minutes, he hung up and
really had a reason to smile. He
dialed Tolu’s number and he
picked almost immediately.
“There is going to be a change of
plans, meet me here in thirty
minutes”, he said and hung up
immediately.

**********
As Tony and Richard made their
way home, Richard was busy
thinking about the damsel in
blue gown and therefore was
very silent, Tony noticed this and
joked about it but Richard said
he was just stressed up.
Richard got home and made a
mental note to relax well in order
to banish the reoccurring
thought and immediately he
opened his wallet, a passport
slipped out of his wallet and as
he picked it up, his nightmares
returned. He stared at the
passport of Tonia which he took
her to snap about a year ago and
all he wanted to do was work
until dawn so that he would not
sleep and have nightmares.
**********
**********
Mr. Badmus dropped the phone
on the table and smiled. ‘Now
things are going as planned’, he
thought. If she would not accept
the easy way, she would accept
the hard way.
**********
**********
I walked into my ever silent
street around 9pm in the night
after the concert. My ministration
had gone so well that I had been
thanking God all through. I
banished all thoughts of Kelvin as
I made my way home cos I
wouldn’t want him to spoil my
day.
After the service, I received so
many thanks from people around
and the coordinators gave me an
envelope which I hadn’t opened
yet including a bag which I guess
contains beverages and other
things. I had just stepped out of
the church when a girl of
eighteen walked up to me and
said, “Miss Belina?”
I turned around, “yes?”
“Pls ma, i love your voice, your
song and everything about you
and I would like you to be my
mentor, plsss?”
I laughed, “for starters, I am not
ma, you can call me Belina,&why not, I would definitely be
glad to be ur mentor”, I said.
She was so happy that she jumped on me & apologized later & I laughed. We later
exchanged numbers &she promised to call me.
I was about entering my compound when I made a mental note to jot down everything that happened today
in my diary, d day seemed to be a blessed day. I entered my house & I was instantly
grabbed from behind. The last thing that came to my mind
b4 I passed out was, “I don die”
***
“Brother Wale..”, pastor Adewuyi called.
Adewale opened his eyes slowly & the first thing that he saw
was a ceiling fan. I don’t have a ceiling fan in my house, he
thought.
“Brother Wale, are u ok?” d pastor asked looking worried.
Adewale turned to d speaker & noticed that it was Pastor
Adewuyi & became more confused. Am I here for deliverance? He wondered but when he sat up, he noticed that
he was on d altar
everything that happened including the reason why he was
there became clear to him. He looked at d pastor & said,
“Pastor, I am not ok, in fact, I am distressed”.
Pastor Adewuyi took Adewale to his office & Wale relayed d events of d past 2days to d pastor.
Pastor Adewuyi sighed & said to Wale, “u have to be strong for urself & for ur friend.
The devil puts fear in our hearts in order to make us doubt God.
You need to be close to God now more than ever cos surviving a coma can only happen with God”
Adewale sighed & nodded b4 he joined hands with d pastor & they prayed for more
than 20mins. Adewale
left that place feeling confident that God would definitely do
something spectacular.
***
Prisca dialed Belina’s number d 9th time that night & still heard” the number had been switched off. She hissed as she threw d phone on d bed.

FOUR Common Mistakes Nigerian (Upcoming) Rappers Make

Anybody can be a rapper, is it not about chanting lyrics to flow rhythmically on beat? What stands you out in the rap game is the quality of your contents, your lyrics and how well you can deliver.When I listen to some upcoming artistes’ rap songs, I smile and shake my head, hell no! this is not what rap is, but how do you tell Nigerian budding rappers they are not good to go to the public with such rap songs without them feeling turned down? They see the review as abhorrence, instead of picking up your points and fine-tune their contents. They also come up with “but, this is a street rap song” excuse, yes it is a street rap song, however, street is also concerned about your deliveries if not (fully) concerned about your contents, so far you flow well and deliver, the streets will definitely embrace you. When a rap song is good, you won’t stress much on promoting such song, the quality of the song backed up with your little efforts will work out the magical promotions. At this point,...
