RCF, Aluu...
Oprah couldn't believe the change that had come over Chris. For the past two weeks, he had been nothing but a gentleman to the hilt. No arguments, no show of jealousy and the most important, no demand for sex. As if that wasn't enough, she had managed to convince him to come for Tuesday service with her and to her surprise, he had.

My House Hunt Wahala

My family had just moved into a decent two bedroom apartment in Ailegun, Ejigbo Lagos and was yet to settle in when we were mandated to move out again. We had just spent one month in the apartment when the agent came to break the sad news to my father that the landlord in America didn't want any tenant in our apartment.

For inexplicable reasons Oprah felt a bit better as she hurried towards the fellowship centre. The sun was lazily going down and she could see a few people whom she easily recognized as brothers and sisters by their dressing. No skirts above the knees and different types of headgear to cover their hair. The men had their shirts buttoned to the neck, some wore ties and dress shoes. Everyone had their Bibles with them and they were all heading to the fellowship site.

Chris had made his way out of his lodge without thinking. He had felt something was wrong when Oprah hadn't turned up on time.
Why his Oprah, of all the girls on campus? Why now? If she had been involved in this born again thing when they met, he would not have touched her with a 50 feet pole. Just when he had begun to settle down, believing he found 'the one', everything seemed to be falling apart.
