Dear Ify,
I’m glad you enjoyed my tales, they got more interesting though.
I got your reply, seriously Ify, you still sound like my mother. Lol, yes, you really mummed me.
Yeah, I can see you rolling your eyes. But you know mums are the best, so you are still the best and I love you for that. You sort of bring back my sanity when I decide to go way too crazy.
Kevin and I still see each other, a lot.
He said, “I know you asked me to give you some time, to clear your head and all, but baby, I’m dying to be yours, to hold you in my arms without being scared you’d pull out the next minute, I want you, scratch that, I need you more than ever.”
I said, “Awwn, that’s so sweet, I know you are dying, just don’t get buried before I give you my answer."
What?
 I’m not mean, that’s how I am na.
My dear, he is still waiting. And I’ve made up my mind. I’ve answered the questions you asked me. You ready for it…
• Have I gotten over Eric? Hell yeah baby, I put the nigga inside ghana must go, zipped it, but it inside big box, locked it with big padlock, threw the key inside river Niger and the box inside Lagos lagoon. Yes, I went all the way to Onitsha to throw the key, lol. The point is, he’s dead and gone, no footprints in the Sands of my life. I’ve moved on.
• How does Kevin make me feel? Uhh, it’s the best feeling ever, I feel like I’m on top of the world. I feel loved, beautiful. He knows me, he scolds me like you do sometimes, he likes my craziness, he is just amazing. I love him.
• Do I think I’m ready for a relationship? Sure girl, I’m so testing this shit out. I’ll be Kevin’s girlfriend, maybe fiancé or wife. Duhh, I know I’m getting ahead of myself. Lol, I just felt like saying that. Of course I’m gonna take things gradually and gracefully and see what love has to offer me.
Yeah, the rebound guy, the rejected stone is now the most precious stone in my life right now, I hope it stays that way. It feels fantastic to be in love.
When he kisses me, I’m in heaven, when we are together, I can’t think of any other place to be.
But if he messes up, I’m attacking him like a dark horse, hehehehe, but he won’t do that.
Kevin said he wants to meet you, don’t open your mouth, you are worth meeting na.
And I hope you have started going out and mingling, and I do hope you wear those hot dresses I send you *winks* if not, get ready to be killed.
I’ll be visiting soon, then you can hear all the juicy tales I have for you. I hope you have juicy tales for me too. Sha get ready to have fun, you seriously need it.
Ok, peace out, your girl’s gotta go, I know you miss me, I miss you too.
Oh, bye for goodness sake, I can’t get all emotional now.
                                                                                       Love,
                                                                                       Karen.

My sister's wedding

“ Mechie cooler ahu, ugba ahu aburo maka mmadu niile ”, my mother yelled at me when I opened the yellow cooler filled with sweet scenting ugba. In fact, my mothed had practically yelled at me the entire day. No, no, not the entire day. She had yelled at me since I arrived in our village, Arondizuogu, few days ago. It was my younger sister, Nmasinachi's “igba nkwu”, traditional wedding and it was the talk of the entire town. Kelechi, her husband, was from a very wealthy home in Idemili and he was also doing good for himself. Sometimes I thought my mother was more excited than Nma. She talked about Nma's wedding at every gathering she went for and boasted of Kelechi's wealth. My father had cautioned her at some point, it was getting annoying.  My mother rubbed this recent development in my face. “You see your youngest sister, Nma, she’s just 22 and she’s getting married. Where’s your own husband Adanna?” “Your immediate younger sister Nmesommachi is also married now and expec

Dare to Dance

Lotanna, what do you think you are doing here?” my mum asked me as she dragged me by my ear away from the small gathering of children. She only called me by my full name when she was really angry. All the kids watched as I was dragged away. I’m sure they thought I was in big trouble. I never hung out with them, now at least, they knew why. In my neighbourhood, the children usually gathered every evening to play, talk and most importantly, dance. I was 8 years old at that time and I wasn’t allowed to play with the hood children. My parents, my mum especially, felt I would get corrupted. Corrupted in every way, my English would be mixed with vernacular. That was unacceptable.  “Loty, it’s either Queen’s English or Igbo, nothing else”, my mum would say.  She was the only one who called me Loty, I really liked it. Others just called me Lota or Lotanna. I was born shortly after my maternal grandfather died, hence, my name. It simply means “remember the father.” My mum must have really loved

My Sister's wedding II

“If you would repeat after me my dear”, Father Collins said to my sister on the altar of St Leo’s Catholic Church,  “I… “I, Nmasinachi Okpara, take you, Kelechi Okoye, to be my husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part.” And Fr. Collins repeated the same words for Kelechi. I could see Kelechi grinning from ear to ear at my sister. The happiest people I knew on Earth were getting married. I could imagine how their home would be. Wonderful! “I now pronounce you, husband and wife”, Fr. Collins said, “you may kiss the bride.” And that was it, my second sister was officially married. I watched her kiss her husband and my heart was filled with joy. A tear dropped from my eye and I quickly wiped it with my handkerchief. Love is a beautiful thing indeed. I let my mind travel to the events of the past week, following Nma’s traditional marriage. How I met the good lo
