EPISODE 4 The next day, we left the beautiful city of Ibadan. It was just like a mass transit because every one of us in the bus were students. Other team members who also chose the Olumo rock was also in the 14 seater bus with us. In two hours, we were already in the beautiful city of Abeokuta and I was really elated to see lots of ancient houses in the city. We really had a smooth trip from Ibadan down to Ikija, Abeokuta. When we finally alighted in front of the tourist centre, I was amazed to see the gigantic rock stratified over each other. God, you are great. I sighed and reached for the gate to pay a toll fee of N700 with my ATM card in their POS machine and we were allowed in afterwards by the tourist guards. Immediately we got in, some guys whom I got to discover were citizens of Ikija flocked around us, each person beckoning us to follow him so he could be our guide going up to the rock. Omo, see this place o. Johnson exclaimed. Guys, are we going to climb this rock to it...

TWENTY-TWO ****A FEW HOURS EARLIER**** ”Sir, please!!” Jackson who had been ushered into Emeka’s office earlier that day says, almost going on his knees. He was contacted and told to come in. He did. ”No seat Jackson don’t be sacred, I know you know why we have brought you here?” Emeka points to the chair, he seats, curious, scared, unsure. ”No sir” ”Okay, I till tell you, on the fifteenth of this month you were asked to release a fund of NGN30 million naira, to who? Because I have the information and it was signed by you, I know there is a higher authority who okay-ed it before the bank manager released it, who was it and where was it sent to?” ”Mr Ambross and to his personal account Sir” ”Did he tell you why he needed it and why it wasn’t funded into the company’s account?” ”He said it was for a Bronx- something project, don’t remember and it wasn’t listed when I c...

*********** Episode 10******* She stared intently at me as her excitement suddenly seemed replaced by profound curiosity… “If your going to lie, then I don’t wanna hear it”, she mused as she folded her hands over her boobs with a resigned look on her face….. “Now why would I do that??”, I asked as I pulled her onto my body so her jaw was on my chest as she stared up at me…… “Just promise me you won’t freak out”, I said as I held her reassuringly.. By the look on her face, I could tell that indeed she was starting to look uncomfortable… “Have you ever heard of the outlanders??” “Outlanders??” she retorted with a forlorn look on her face. “I have a feeling am not gonna like this!!!, commander lescott was grilling me with questions on the same subject but there I was thinking it was just some silly coincidence or a case of mistaken identity!!!…. I hope your not gonna te...

Episode 3 Professor Tanmo smiled. You are all going to travel in groups. You are all going to choose from the following tourist centers. Don’t be afraid. All of this tourist centres are in the southwest. I want you all to go there, make a field research about them and document them. He walked to the board and wrote Ikogosi Warm spring. 2. Oranmiyan staff, Ile ife. 3. Lagos bar beach. 4. Erin Ijesha waterfalls. 5. Idanre hills, Akure. 6. Old oyo national park and Olumo rock, Abeokuta. The whole class was murmuring again. Then Professor Tanmo turned to the class. Today is Wednesday. The school has approved that you can all take the rest of the week off. I will be getting my assignment next week Wednesday. The class rep, his assistant and Kola should ensure everybody is grouped. I don’t want more than 10 people in a group. Kola, let me have the list of members in every group before the end of the day. Goodbye and good luck! Professor Tanmo said and he exited the class. Imm...

TWENTY-ONE ***** Emeka, for the next couple of days makes sure he stops by Diana’s room every morning, she had insisted to stay in the guest room out of respect for his mother she had told him, he agreed. He takes her out often to lunch every afternoon, and dinner at evenings, he didn’t give her any space to doubt, he showed her all the love and attention any girl would be blown over for without being intimate with her. The point was to give her all the attention she needs, to cushion her up, leave no room for doubts from his side. She had fallen; he wanted to make her fall hard, so hard that her eyes will glow when they see him. He takes her to the movies, watch her laugh at funny scenes, cry when it is emotional and scream when it is scary while burying her face in his arms. He opens the doors for her when she enters the car, takes her hand when she comes out, he dabs her mouth when she spills food, feeds her when she is smiling. Buys her nice things. He calls her his ...

***********Episode 9******** A deep smile played on my face as she came to terms to what I had just said….. “Baby don’t joke about this!!”, She said while making a futile effort to mask her joy with a scowl. “Am serious”, I insisted.. She took her hands off my head and cupped them on her mouth as tears started dropping down her cheeks.. Now it was my turn to hold her, Alice was one of the most emotional girls I have ever met… I placed a pillow behind me and propped myself into a leaning position against the headboard so I could put her head on my chest, she was now clutching tightly to my body….. A lot of images washed through my head as my brain processed them to ascertain the next course of action…. If what my memory was making me believe was anywhere near the truth, then my priority would be keeping Alice safe from any danger because the way I saw it right there and then, anyone who had her held a valid bargaining chip over ...

Episode 2 In the class… The class was still not filled to its full capacity by the time we got in. We could see so many other students talking and gisting and we also joined in the conversation after we have found a place in the front row of the class. Some few minutes later, we heard the loud thud of professor Olamoyegun’s old fashioned shoes in the entrance of the class, got called to order and maintain a dead silence. However, it was a tradition whenever he got to enter the class as he walked majestically to the board in his usual fashion. One thing I admire was is mode of dressing. “This man would have been a palm-wine tapper or a primary school teacher if he had not been a lecturer. I mumbled. “In previous classes, we’ve been looking at some historical events that have happened in Nigeria. In the past two classes we discussed mostly is about the wars that have happened in Yoruba land. We discussed about the Jalumi war of 1878. The battle of Ikirun ...
