 I graduated from Lead City University Ibadan, Oyo state where I studied Computer and Information Science and I’m currently doing my youth service.

I love to listen to music, surf the internet and draw. In the year 2014, I participated in the AFRIK Queen International pageant in which I won. The Afrik Queen pageant  is a contest that promotes African culture and heritage amongst our young women. I could remember unlike other pageants, in the Afrik Queen pageant the contestants were given names of African women that made history in the cause of devoting their time and efforts on effecting positive changes in their societies. Also in Afrik Queen camp, we did vocational training to empower us.

‘How Stella, my childhood friend, ruined my marriage’ (3)

This is the concluding part of Amanda, Gilbert and Stella’s story started penultimate Sunday.When Amanda and Gilbert got married, for five years there was no child. Though she was conceiving, but she was having series of miscarriage so much that it started giving Gilbert some concerns. While Amanda was in the heat of her problem was when fate brought Stella her way. Stella her childhood friend who avoided her for years just because her WASC result was extremely poor.

That Saturday afternoon, Gilbert left a written note for his wife  Amanda that he was going to a salon for a haircut. He didn’t want to disturb her because she had cried for hours and needed rest. She in fact cried herself to sleep because Gilbert’s mother had called on the phone asking her what had been preventing her from giving her son a child. Hence, she got so worried that she cried heavily. When she eventually woke up, she read the note her husband had dropped for her and smiled. “The line that made me smile was where he wrote that he still loved me despite our pregnancy issues.”
