Agbor and Eme had always been good friends,they were in the same fellowship,had a lot of things in common including their love for God and their passion for singing.Eme had just come out of a relationship with one of Agbor's friends. she was traumatized. needed healing. Agbor tried his best to comfort Eme,sooner than expected, Agbor was pressing for a relationship. Eme's friends wondered if she could handle it,if she had healed enough to commit her heart to another,Eme wasn't sure her self but...
As the months flew by,'they' became an 'item' Agbor assured her that he will never hurt her and that he'll always be there for her, and true to his words he helped her regain her self esteem and confidence again.He wasted no time introducing her to members of his family who luved her immediately. He talked about her to any one and everyone who cared to listen.everyone admired and prayed for the best for them,they looked forward to better days.Agbor went for Youth Service (a compulsory 1 year national service for Nigerian College graduates) while Eme was rounding up her studies in the university; they had planned that upon graduation, they will get married.
On rounding off his compulsory service year, suddenly had a change of plan. He didn't want the relationship anymore. His reason. His parents want him to further his studies abroad and will therefore not want to tie her down to the relationship as Eme is beautiful and may have many suitors while he's away,he called off the relationship and told her to go ahead with her life.Eme was bewildered.she was willing to walk things out. afterall, she was through with school but he had made up his mind.
Months after he left Nigeria, she kept calling with options on how they could make things work,but HE HAD MADE HIS MIND UP.He even stopped returning her calls. Things had really gone bad she wondered what had happened to the love and faith they had in each other.Eme doesn't understand the real reason for his actions,he claims it's his parents but she thinks it's much more than that.

THE "IDEAL" COUPLE
They walked into church this sunday morning full of smiles. An ideal, young couple. You would hardly notice it was their first day. Akin and Tessy were invited by a neighbour who knew they were new in town and that they wont mind worshipping in our church of 20 people.
Six months later, even those who know nothing about pregnancy detection can 'sense' that Tessy is expecting a baby. She comes less frequently to church now, those charming smiles are gradually giving way to occassional outbursts with members of her service group.
This day Tessy walks into the pastor's office crying. Akin had kicked her in the tommy yesternight as he frequently does (not minding the pregnancy), pushed her out of the house, and warned her sternly not to come into the house that night.
It was cold , but Tessy didnt have a choice. Afterall its better than being kicked around. she eventually found herself in a neighbour's house where she passed the night in the guise that the husband wasn't around and she couldn't stay at home alone.
When she woke up in the morning, he had gone to work, locked the door.
"Things will change sir. It's because I'm going through some challenges at work" Akin replies when the pastor confronted him. He got back home from the pastor's only to beat her for telling anyone their marital challenges.
It is two years now since they first came into church. He hasn't stopped beating her (she's got scars to show for it!)
and she's threatening to leave the marriage.
Should she?

LOVE WAHALA
Cynthia met Chris on a flight to Calabar. They hit it off immediately and people sometimes wondered what such unlike persons had in common. Chris was reserved while Boma was an extrovert; he could easily listen to people talk while she liked to talk. They courted for three and half years before getting married. They had an ideal wedding and honeymoon. Their first year as a couple was wonderful, and then they began to drift apart.
Five years into their marriage, Cynthia realises that her husband speaks in short sentences and spends more time in front of the television set. He spends after work hours and most of the weekend with ‘the boys’. Whenever Cynthia complains, he would ask if staying home would put food on the table. Now because Chris isn’t talking much, she has decided to focus more attention on their two children; with this new attitude, Chris has kept even more to himself. Cynthia worries about Chris’ safety, but once he’s home she accuses him of self- centeredness and that he leaves the upbringing of the children to her alone. she advises him to bring the woman he is seeing home as his second wife(he says he.s seeing nobody). With such frequent emotional outbursts, Chris has kept even quieter, the home is now more unbearable, the kids and Cynthia no longer look forward to his coming home.
