Invariably I was right; it did cost me big time. Not only were all the good houses taken before I returned, I had to settle for the unwanted houses. Nevertheless, I chose a small room and parlour boy’s quarters, which stood apart from its main house. At least, it guaranteed me privacy if anything I thought. The first month was not too terrible, but for the frequent lack of water in the compound and little arguments about bathroom and environmental sweeping. The female tenants most of whom were married began to notice me and on learning that I had just moved in, the sighs and incessant head shaking began. I really didn’t understand the constant mur

I swore quietly. What did he want this time? ‘Ok, Shade. Let him come in. Thank you.’ There was a knock on the door, then it swung open. Chief came in, his massive stomach leading the way. ‘Chief, Chief!’ I hailed, a huge, fake smile plastered on my face. ‘Proprietress, Proprietress!’ he replied, his guffaws shaking his massive frame. He sank unto the chair opposite my desk, and I half-hoped it would collapse under his weight and injure him. But before I could ask what type of refreshment he would prefer, he began. ‘I can see your children’. He waved vaguely at the windows. ‘They are getting

Trust African mothers to always have hind eyes to watch over their wards. In school, my mother handed me over to the landlord of my hostel pleading to him to handle and treat me as his child…. On a fateful Friday evening, myself and some friends went to the river to swim. It was already late and dark before we returned.
