• The Bamboo and the Oak

    Once upon a time, in a lush forest, an oak tree stood tall and proud. Beside it, a bamboo seed lay buried in the soil, barely noticeable.

    As the years passed, the oak grew quickly, stretching toward the sky. Birds built nests in its branches. Travelers rested in its shade. The oak mocked the ground below, where the bamboo seed still hadn’t broken through.

    But the bamboo never gave up. It continued to grow roots deep into the earth, quietly and patiently.

    After five years, something incredible happened. The bamboo finally shot out of the ground—and in just six weeks, it grew over 80 feet tall. Its strength and flexibility amazed everyone.

    The forest learned a lesson that day: While the oak grew fast and looked impressive, the bamboo had been preparing itself all along—growing strong where no one could see.

    Moral: Just because your progress isn’t visible doesn’t mean you’re not growing. Sometimes, the most important growth happens underground, in the dark. Keep going. Your time is coming.

  • My father called and complained that rain removed our roof. So I sent some money to fix the problem.

    When I traveled home for the holidays, I noticed that the old roofing was still intact. I called daddy and enquired, he smiled and replied "when you were in school collecting money from us for photosynthesis, medulla oblongata, experiments, repair of broken atmosphere etc, you think we didn't know?
    Now it's our turn.

  • My girlfriend invited me to her house today, we have been dating for a while now but I have never for ones visited her.

    But of course, she has visited me ones in a while, Today I decided to visit her. When I reached the address she told me. I saw my woman dress in shots, she came to pick me up from the gate where the uber dropped me.

    Is your parents home? I asked her immediately I came down from the uber and we headed to the house.
    Ndolo
    They ain't home yet, but they will come back later. Make your self comfortable. She said immediately we entered the house.

    Such a nice house I said. she smiled at me and went to the kitchen. Minutes later she brought a plate of spaghetti for me. My girl sure knows how to spoil me with food.
    Ndolo
    As a gentleman I started eating the spaghetti, very delicious. My girlfriend had already gone back inside the room to get water for me. But as I was eating the spaghetti, my phone rang, and it was my girlfriend calling.

    Hello Ayo where are you? I have been waiting for you by the gate since. My girlfriend said.

    What do you mean waiting for me? I'm at your house, and you just served me food. Stop this joke ejoor. I said. Which house? She asked.

    House 30P. I said. 30P? I said 30B. she said, then who served me food here now? I asked. Ayo did you say 30P? please start coming out of that house now, nobody has lived in that house for the past 15years, it is believed that house 30P is the house of Ghost. She said over the phone. I was still struggling to eat the spaghetti In my mouth. House of what? I said. I can't hear you babe. My girlfriend said
    Colyfrank
    Just then Every door in the house began locking by itself and I could here the sound of each lock.

    " In this house it either you play our game correctly or you d!e". A deep voice said.

    Just then I knew It was finished; deep cold entered my body, and i found it difficult to swallow the spaghetti in my mouth.

  • When Ifunanya arrived her village in search of Peter (her father), her uncle (Peter's brother) called her ashawo and other unprintable names as a way of diverting the attention of people who were gathering. He said she sleeps around in hotels and was not a responsible young lady.

    That hurt so much! Ifunanya is married. Why would they pour such venom on a girl looking for her father?

    This is Ifunanya and her husband. The only crime this young lady committed was being bold enough to challenge her father's siblings who were bent on keeping him in a vegetative state after his stroke while they continued to draw on his pension to build another house and enjoy good lives.

    This is a big lesson for men. When your wife gives birth to a daughter, do not frown. Your daughter will always be there for you, even if she is married and living in a different continent. Ifunanya left her family in the USA and travelled thousands of miles in search of her father.

    Be kind to everyone, but know where to draw the line.
    The male child is as important as the female child
    None outweighs the other!!

  • KAI, THIS WORLD SHOULD JUST END. I AM SHOCKED Oh , OTUKPO

    Mrs Ikpi travelled out of Otukpo for an official duty to Makurdi.

    She was expected to spend 6 days but as fate would have it, the programme only took 2 days. Since she could not reach her husband on phone because of poor network in Makurdi, she decided to return home unannounced.

    At home, her children told her that their father had a female visitor the moment she left and that the lady has been with them since then.

    On hearing this,she became so furious and jealous.

    Learning the lady was in the visitor's room, she peepped: loi and behold, the lady was there; even putting on her wrapper. She quietly went to the kitchen and boiled water in her very big kettle. As the water was boiling, her husband drove in.

    The husband went straight to the visitor's room calling out: 'MY LOVE I'm home.' not knowing his wife was also around.

    The wife was even more angered when she heard that and said to herself 'today, you will bele full.

    She took the hot water she boiled in a very big kettle which had already reached 100% degree centigrade and made very Big eba (ÈBÀ) and Okoho soup for her Husband, Herself and the Mother In-Law in the Guest room to eat, while her children ate Noddles.
    Imagine the heights of your Standing And the readiness 0f Ur Mind at the woman's Action hmmm. ..

    IT IS WELL...

    GOD WILL HELP Us

  • Some time ago, I accompanied a friend to a conference at a hotel, where he was scheduled to meet someone. While waiting for him in the lobby area just outside one of the conference halls, I sat quietly, scrolling through my phone and minding my business.

    After a while, I noticed people going in and out of the hall beside me. Curiosity made me look up. A PhD defense was ongoing, I wasn’t really paying attention until I heard gentle clapping from inside the hall.

    Then came the turn of a middle-aged man, probably in his late 50s. He stood at the front with a soft, shaky demeanor. He spoke slowly, carefully picking his words. Every few sentences, he paused.. not for effect, but because he stuttered. Still, each time he managed to get through a point, the audience clapped.. not out of pity, but in admiration and respect.

    Toward the end, his voice broke. He asked everyone to kindly rise for a minute silence in honor of his wife, who had recently passed away. And in that moment of silence, he broke down in tears.

    What I learned afterward left me speechless.

    The man had only a diploma in Business Administration when he got married. His wife, a successful banker, pushed him to go back to school. She supported him through a BSc, then a master’s, and finally the PhD program he was now completing.

    But just months before he would earn the title “Doctor,” his wife lost her life to breast ******.

    He was shattered. She had been his strength, his motivation, and his helper. She had even taken time off her busy banking schedule to help him share questionnaires during his research. Though she herself had only a master’s degree, she pushed her husband beyond that point, right up to the very top.

    Now here he was, defending his thesis without her beside him.

    That’s when I truly understood the kind of love that doesn’t compete, the kind of spouse who gives you wings to fly without fear of your success.

    Not everyone is lucky to have such a partner, one who celebrates your growth, fights for your dream like it’s theirs, and stands by you even when life tries to break you.
