The Sealed Secret
Yetunde was born 48years ago. A first-class university graduate. Her father, a professionally trained grade two- teacher died seven years after she was born at Ikire town in Osun State of Nigeria.
Yetunde was an easy going lady thirsty to make airing success of her life. She was very innocent. As a determined citizen, Yetunde was head strong to become an educated person who can be well trusted.
Left with a single mother that catered for her welfare and good ruptured throughout the secondary school that she attended as a promising daughter. She naturally had raw tongue and an attractive feminine physique. She grew up to be loving, brave, diligent, amiable, elegant, dependable and intelligent and of good breeding among her peers.
Unfortunately, the mother of Yetunde had a terrible motor accident that claimed her life at a prime age like the husband. The sad event occurred when the mother was returning from one of her business trips.
The public transport bus she travelled with had an accident at Asejire town near Ibadan city a few days to the end of the year. A tanker vehicle loaded with engine oil tumbled making oil split over-flowed and spread on the road. As a result, everywhere was very slippery for motors.
Suddenly, the bus where Yetunde's mother was inside ran into the slippery spot unknowingly, the driver failed to be courteous, swap and hit a parked trailer by the road side on top speed.
Instantly, six people out of the sixteen passengers inside the bus died on the spot without any remedy. The rest were severally injured and taken to University Teaching Hospital [UCH] for treatments. The mother of Yetunde was one of the victims that died in the unfortunate accident.
The untimely dead of the woman was a terrible loss that created a great vacuum in the community and the trade associations where Yetunde's mother was an active frontline member and activist.
It was pathetic. The family of Yetunde were in deep sorrow and mourning for their departed soul during the Christmas and New Year!
Yetunde became an orphan. However, she was not deserted nor lack maternal care in life. Honestly, children who are deprived of love and parental care grow up to become maladjusted adults in the society. Yetunde was taken over by her mother's immediate junior sister as the guardian.
An Ibadan based bulk food vendor at Bodija Market. The woman arose and took the responsibility of Yetunde's schooling and welfare until she got married.
Nothing can stop the lion from roaming the forest at anytime. Yetunde was able to continue her life journey of destiny pleasantly.
Really, it may take a longer time, the stammered will pronounce ''father!'' No matter the delay, sun will rise at the break of the day. Nobody can change the destiny; they can only hold the hands of clock.
Meanwhile, the families of her father were supportive as well. The godly Yetunde was never forsaken or abandoned. She equally enjoyed some foundling. Yetunde kept flashing back at the final word told by her mother before she died:
''Chastity does not belong to the past. It saves you a lot of trouble; preserves your beautiful destiny and stands you out from the crowd. You are better off not engaging in pre-marital and extra-marital sex. Stay chaste!''
Equally, the spirit of her mother was following her in life. Along the line, Yetunde got admission into one of the famous universities in Kwara state. She was very brilliant and highly determined to have headway educationally. She aimed and aspires to earn first-class degree at the end of her studies. She faced her studies squarely as a well behaved single in the society with culture and native wisdom.
Yetunde used to spend the holidays with her mother's sister in Ibadan and the family of her late father at Ikole-Ekiti interchangeably. She usually enjoyed her stay as a favoured girl all the time. She was a highly cherished girl both at home or in the school. People usually show her deeper- love and affections anywhere she finds herself in the society!
Meanwhile, there was a young man known as Segun, the bonfire son of the landlord where they lived at Agbowo area not far from the premier university of Ibadan.
Segun was tanned and handsome to taste with wavy, raven hair. His eyes are live doves beside the water brooks, deep and quiet. His reflection of a well-fed breed from a well to do family reflected on the body structure. His checks are like sweaty scented beds of spices. Segun's mouth is sweet, loveable in every way.
The young boy Segun was promising lad of the former Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He was a prominent man in the society. He was a rich politician of note. Segun was interested in Yetunde, an angel in human skin. He admires her too much and desperately ready to offer anything in exchange. He showed love to her through many contacts.
The strong need for Segun to have Yetunde as lover began from the day they met at the gate entrance. Segun could not believe what he saw when they gazed each other. It was like everything in the world stood still as her alluring look was breathtaking. He took Yetunde for an angel in human skin when she splashed him with sparking smiles that sent Segun to the world of hallucination just like a movie about Nick Canon. He had strong intuition that they both have combined missions to fulfil in the journey of life.
Since that very day, thoughts of Yetunde kept lingering in his mind daily to the extent that he cannot think of anybody else except her. Nothing interests him any longer. In fact, nothing seems to matter to him again. He was desperate in need of the Ekiti girl.
It is usually a painful experience for a man to have love and affection for someone who never thought of you or look at your direction for a second. He who wears a shoe knows where it pinches!
If there was anything in the universe cherished by Segun. It is Yetunde.
The advances were aborted outright. Yetunde felt was not yet period for love making and all those stuffs. Also, she considered it to be odd for her to get engaged with a man that lived in the same house where her relative was living to a long time as tenant.
Caution is required for the monkey trying to climb a rotten tree! Yetunde refused bluntly all the demands of Segun. She avoids him thereafter. Segun remained undaunted. He loved Yetunde so much and desperately wanted to have her by all mean possible. With the heart of stone, Segun conceptualized how to trap the lady.
The desire for the girl was the sole trouble in the life of Segun at that time. It was the dilemma father Makalu of the Catholic Church in those days. Segun thought of what to do that would endear her to him and then an idea struck his mind.
Surprisingly, Yetunde came home for the holidays as usual. At mid-night, her handset phone rang. It was the adamant lover boy Segun again lamenting and explaining bitterly how he murdered sleep because of his affections and deeper uncompromised love for Yetunde.
At the climax of the conversation, he confessed his readiness to commit suicide that night if Yetunde should refused to accept his love desire for her as girl friend. What an amazing statement!
''Abba! Don't do that?Are you that so serious and desperate about me?''
Yetunde answered during the phone conversation; she gave it a second thought and implored Segun to hold on till daybreak for ratification. She consented to meet him for one on one deliberation.
''Never mind, when is dawn we shall discussed better?Dear!'' Yetunde assured Segun who endured it.
Really, Yetunde was vivacious and blessed with tempting curves with uncommon good looks. Like a good finished product, which everyone loves to pick in the midst of scrambles.
Yetunde was superbly created among the ladies living in Ibadan at that time! Men and boys usually gave her a second look when she was passing by along the street of Agbowo. They wanted to confirm if she was a human being or a spirit-being.
Finally, on the following day, Yetunde was invited by the son of ace-politician as a special guest to his father's luxurious apartment. There was a separate self contained room for Segun within the duplex.
The building design was one of the best ever in the entire community. The finishing and facilities available were lavishly installed everywhere possible. They parents have abundant blessings. They were superbly rich.
Both Segun and Yetunde had ample chance for lengthy discussions. The parents have left for business. The room for proper heart-to-heart deliberations was freely created and nothing to hide or shy about. The day was a good opportunity for him to start something with Yetunde.
Frankly speaking, fragrant Segun was anxious and highly excited to get hooked with an angel in human skin who could be given the tagged as the paragon of beauty among the blacks. Aside her impeccable beauty, one other feature that sent the heart painting was her well-carved hips. No normal man would get the eyes off, most especially when she swung them.
Segun had heavy feelings for Yetunde that he could not wait any longer. He became so uneasy. His heart skipped whenever he saw Yetunde or heard her sonorous voice.
He was happy that God answered his prayers. Equally, Segun was glad to have the desire of his mind fulfilled at last. Getting hooked to Yetunde appeared to be a divine arrangement that was difficult to understand ordinarily. He welcomes his love with a promise of good times together.
Segun confessed this to Yetunde:
''There is something strange about you that I am yet to find answers to. I have met countless ladies in my romantic expedition, but I have never met one that touched my heart the way you did''
However, the young lad needed wisdom to handle the task before him. He reminded himself what he read about wisdom:
''Right from old, wisdom is better is better than darkness. To be rich is far better than poverty. The wise man sees, while the fool is blind''
Yetunde was a green horn in relationship matters. Segun was gentle as dove but clever as a serpent; full of guile and highly evasive.
The game started in harness. On that remarkable day, the adorable Yetunde wore a tight fitting t-shirt and shorts which exaggerated her busts and the rumps that allured Segun so much.
In life, no one under the close watch of traitor is ever difficult to trap. The heart - throb Segun was ardent and very delighted to see a hatched plan unfolding like a video show.
As a boy hungry for love making most especially in search of a ripped apple, lot of thoughts went across the mind of Segun inside the apartment with his prey Yetunde. For the girl to have voluntarily came for a visit made the task half solved.
Before yam could be eaten as pounded-yam; it was pounded well inside mortal with heavy pestle several times. Likewise, to be in relationship with surf like Yetunde, a lot of virtues must be well displayed.
Segun was not sort of anything needed to make the best of the game at stake. Everything went in his favour as ordained by destiny. He did all a lad could do to convinced Yetunde of being the right choice that perfectly matches the journey of romantic relationship.
Yetunde had a heart of gold. From her closed assessment, Segun could be a nice life partner and a man of her dreams as well. After a vigorous and very lengthy exchange of sweet expressions, Yetunde scudded to Segun's request of love partnership.
The bride- to- be bowed for her man in fresh love. They happily embraced each other affectionately. Segun was very happy that his persistent effort in winning the heart of Yetunde was not futile but worked out positively well. His breadth was greatly relieved! That was how the young son of Ibadan Billionaire won the love of an angel; the paragon of beauty! His joy knew no bounds as the affection for each other waxed stronger by the day.
In other not to follow the path of folly, The god-hearted daughter who trusted the creator to a greater extend with a bit of the gospel of Jesus Christ ensured that both of them prayed for God's guide and support in the relationship launched. They both agreed to visit the pastor of the church where Yetunde was attending the following Sunday for prayers and additional spiritual rites that came make their marital life journey smooth and hitch free.
The glamour Yetunde was lavishly entertained by the son of billionaire politician as an august visitor of note. She took home several parting gifts and take-away was well packaged for the lady of class with choice. She was buttered! A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Nothing is too big to share with one's love under the sun. A miser can never sustain rubies in life.
All to prove the seriousness of her new life partner called Segun, a brand new lover boy and helpmate without any rival. In fact, Yetunde was about to taste the goodies of a super wealthy family ever! They both were about inaugurating a great journey of love and relationship.
A man that is so cruel to women will not be able to live with one
History was retold with stories and expression by the two partners to confirm the sealed of love and sincerity involved between them as from that moment.
However, when the Monkey sights a banana, hell will lose eventually. Definitely, the Dog that pay visit to the house of Tiger will have a cogent report to make at the end of the event. Nothing goes for anything in this world again.
Those in politics usually say that their involvement is not for God- sake; but because of what they will eat and gain. Only God will judge the man trying to divide meat for others inside the mouth with teeth! God remain the best judge.
The road was cleared for Segun that day. There was no hindrance or disturbance. Like a child playing with a child, Segun was able to taste Yetunde on that very day after the merry making.
Yetunde was a fresh flower but was deflowered by Segun. That was how the pretty beauty lost her virgin unplanned. It was painful but she endured it.
On that memorable day, Yetunde implored her boy friend to seal her love in his heart forever. And before they departed, Yetunde lovely told Segun:
''My Dear, Seal me in your heart with permanent betrothal, for love is strong as death and jealousy is as cruel as shoed. If flashes fire, they very flame of Jehovah. Many waters cannot quench the flame of love; neither can the floods drown it. If a man tired to buy it with everything he owned; he couldn't do it!''
As a result, Yetunde vowed that only the man she will marry would taste her sweet honey in life. That was the beginning and climax of the visitation that almost turned to be a ticket for regrets.
Segun appreciated his brand new love with these confessed words:
'' There are many fine women in the world, but you are the best of them all''
''You have ravished my heart?I overcome by a glance of your eyes''
In further response, the heart-awakened Segun, on good notes consented and promised to comply faithfully without any compromise. He even read this short poem to her new love:
DEAREST GIRL
Hide your bright eyes
From bitter cries
Wooing you so sly
As bait of lie
To plunge and drown,
that sweet fee l down.
Close your ear gate
To that mourn state
Wearing words sweet
Of sensuous heat
To savour that feel
'burning' to kill.
Guard hard your heart
Against fires that start
So fondest melt
Of pleasure spelt
As deep regret
For being so wet.
Your womanhood,
A pride so good,
Just for that one;
Not anyone;
Keep it dear girl,
Protect it well.
In spreading the love with Yetunde; The Song '' Forever Sweet'' tone by Dotti was downloaded on her phone. It was the most wonderful day ever. The heat of their love started burning hot and hot everyday! The devoted love affairs and affections between Segun and Yetunde started on nice notes; and unique in every dimension!
Thereafter, Yetunde had a severe abdomen pain due to the sexual intercourse.
In life, one of the things a woman cannot easily forget is the person that dis-flower her virginity; therefore, it will be difficult for Yetunde to forget forever in a moment what Segun did with her. The performance made Segun to be the first man to visit her natural inner room after several years of closed entrance.
Segun was the happiest man on earth on that day with Yetunde. And ever since the moment, thoughts of the lady occupied his mind on daily basis forever. It was a mission fulfilled and well accomplished. The two slated destiny helper meet and got bonded at last. Who and what will be strong enough to separate then again. None was imagined! However, one may not know how a fight will end, but the spark of it will be boldly identified.
The new chapter in destiny was opened on fresh notes. Yetunde became well acquainted with Segun the lad of a popular politician based in the ancient city of Ibadan capital. Nobody suspected any foul play.
In one of the text messages sent to Yetunde by Segun reads:
'' Sweet is your love, my darling bride; the perfume of your love is more fragrant than all the richest spices. Your lips are made of honey and cream. The scent of your garments is like the scent of the mountains and cedar of Lebanon''
Love is fragile; therefore, the two promising lovers must ensure the genuine stability without any heatstroke;
''A woman that got married to millionaire's son would be well fortunate to share an inherited fortunes'' says an adage.
Yes, we are all born, but our fingers are not equal.

The Sealed Secret
The heart spring love affairs between Segun and Yetunde was growing daily and waxing stronger and stronger every moment. They became good friends and as you know one thing led to the other. Segun felt the way he never felt before as she showered him with love beyond imagination.
Yetunde was his precious gems and a lovely dove for years. They were fond of each other as a companion. The affection they have for each other waxed stronger by the day. Yetunde was nice, caring and above all lovely.
They always wanted to be sighting each other nearly every second. When love is fresh and undiluted, it is usually in that dimension. There meeting was neither a mistake nor accident but the handwork of destiny. They have undying love for each other.
Beloved Yetunde was a banquet of flowers in the garden of Engedi. A very beautiful girl with eyes that is soft as dove. Like the rose of Sharon; the lily of valleys.
The old aged woman was also a pretty girl those days. Hardly was there a day that they will not communicate or have a chart through the social media. Segun was jealously guiding his pet angel.
Segun was love drunk for Yetunde with the white teeth like sheep's wool newly shorn and washed; perfectly matched without one missing. With breasts like twin fawns of gazelle feeding among the lilies; What a lovely filly; Yetunde's lovely cheeks, stately neck upon long strings of jewels with a sharply pointed nose. A rarest of beautiful women with tripping feet and waist like a heap of wheat set about with lilies.
Both Yetunde and Segun were like Romeo and Juliet. The bonding love was strange and rare. Segun tasted Yetunde twice before she left for her campus. There was nothing to blame the lad for. He was inside the stream already. Yetunde became Segun's darling, precious, glorious, dignified and heavenly celebrated!
Really, every good game can be replayed. In life, no man is ever tired of listening to an interesting music. A good song is often repeated. A sweet orange can be eaten many times non -stop if available. In fact, a nice and delicious soup can never turn sour without reasons. A vehicle slated destination should be reached unless there is an issue on the way.
'' The robust pig will get to Ijebu for slaughter, only the harrowing noise will be greater'' says a Yoruba adage!
Due to the perfect cordial relationship between Yetunde and Segun, the young millionaire, it gave the pretty girl free and frequent access to Segun's apartment without any hindrance or rescission from the parents.
Also, Yetunde was appealing and attractive with radiant of goodness. She has the charms of acceptance anywhere she found herself right from the demise of her mother.
Having pitched her tent with Segun, the parents never suspected any anything hidden between the two of them. They were both age mates and social. The environment was a friendly one. Unlike other rich individuals in our society, the parents of Segun are highly accommodating and lovely in relationship with people. They are never money-drunk or hostile. They took life simple and easy-going.
One day, it was about to rain heavily. Segun had left home with his aged-mother for an occasion. However, the father was inside the flat enjoying. At the palatial compound with luxury cars and other expensive facilities. They had some washed clothes outside spread at the open space to get dried by the sun before evening. To prevent the costly garments and fabrics from rain that threatens to fall because it was storming already.
The wealthy and highly comfortable man of substance with titles and honour as former Minister of Finance of the Federation beckon at pretty Yetunde to assist him collect the spread cloths outside on the rally.
The ebony black girl did as demanded from the elder statesman. The lure and lucre trapped her unknowingly. In life, only God can make one to escape the trap of enemy. You cannot be wiser than the traitor. It is terrible. There was a plot against Yetunde!
The nose is never sensitive enough to sense the tricks of a wicked person in the society. But there is God who is greater than all of us.
Our world is a pleasant place of amazing wonders and experiences. So many odd things are being committed under the sun most especially in our country with faceless characters.
How easy can the elephant escape the prepared pity covered with golden mat with a big stand on it to seat upon as the king to be?
Yetunde did as instructed as a girl with the hearts of flesh. When she courteously brought all the collected clothes inside the house as assigned; she met the elderly man eating roasted chicken with assorted wines and packed juices in his front like a bouquet. He drank a good glass of wine along. The house of a politician is usually a merry making avenue all the time in our society.
Yetunde was warmly received appreciated by Segun's father for the kind gesture. He further implored her to join him in the dinning. But Yetunde out rightly rejected the free invitation to taste a super free buffet offered her by the billionaire.
''Don't worry Sir. I'm ok for now!'' Big thanks, it's a pleasure!
Yetunde replied with a pent-up smile without blinking an eye. As highly trained and cultured girl from a good home.
Thereafter, the generous man gave Yetunde one of the highly expensive alcohol bottled-juice as trick without rigours. Obviously, she did not understand the implication.
Ultimately, Yetunde was highly amazed at the dash, but never suspected any foul-play at all. She was beguiled by the politician.
Yetunde left the house with a sense of gratitude. When Yetunde got to her room to have a short rest as it was about to rain. Before sleeping, she drank the tasty juice given her and effortlessly slept off almost immediately. The sleep was deep and sound.
After some few minutes, Segun's father took undue advantage of the girl. He disguised and secretly traced the lady.
Nevertheless, the billionaire politician who failed to guard his affections; went inside the unlocked room where pretty Yetunde was forcefully and unlawfully defiled by eaten the Adams-apple of the innocent girl without permission.
What havoc! Both the father and the son are about eaten inside the same pot of soup unknowingly. A Big Rot in the Pot! What a great blunder!
Could it be an error of omission?
Gosh! What a great havoc committed by Segun's father: an elder states-man; the rape of innocent lady in broad day-light robbery!
The incarnate lust of flesh got the Ibadan based politician giant drunk without gauge. He began trekking on broken bottles with bare foots.
The gushing of red blood thereafter will be thicker than water
Inevitably!
It is a matter of time for the man carrying an umbrella to realise it is heavy burden, when the rain stopped.
So many things are happening these days in the society without any news coverage for the public announcement. Today, several streams have passed under the bridge unnoticed. Life is like a season's film; it is usually in series.
Anyway, when the conscience of a man gets polluted, no acts or behaviour would be seen as been silly or foolish again. Instead, gall will turned to salt for the mid-night dinner. Only the blind ghosts will be guest of honour in such a banquet.
How come the father and son to be dating the same innocent girl at the same time under the same roof? Will it be smooth and hitch free at the end of the day? How easy is for two big rams to drink water in the same pot at the same time?
A further investigation needs to take place to detect the final outcome of Segun's father ordeal with Yetunde alone inside the inner room unnoticed by anybody. Will it be palatable?
Meanwhile, the grip of Segun's father on Yetunde could be likening to a hungry cat that caught a small rat late at night. It was long he had a fresh taste of that kind in an aromatic affairs when it was raining outside simultaneously. The fantasy was just beyond imagination or description.
The billionaire aged man lies on Yetunde enchanted by the fragrance of her perfumes with a sachet of myrrh lying between her lovely, pleasant breasts. All these added glamour to the taste so enjoyed!
Until it lasted; the girl was dead sleep while the agile politician was roaming the inner hole of Yetunde with busy hair on top. Thrusting and jerking every corner like turning the steering of a jalopy car. There was no disturbance or intruders to stop or soil the strange love making.
The politician did not spare the cheap angel in any way. He held firmly and sucked seriously the two ripped oranges at her chest, but no juice to drink. It was too dry for the desired comfort.
It was a hasty but super love making with the innocent Yetunde. The taste and experience was too rare and unusual.
While the game was getting to the climax, Segun's father greedily finished with her. It was utterly ridiculous.
However, Yetunde woke up in the process. She saw him vividly on her top. She also felt the tight deep penetration with the hot release inside her body.
''Abba!...Daddy?Daddy!!! What is this?''
''Why have you done this with me?.?'
''You've finished me! '' Yetunde lamented bitterly. She was dazed!
Yetunde was very sad and sober uncontrollably. She began to shed bitter tears of sorrow with regrets. She was in deep depression.
Segun's father implored her deeply to keep quiet and stop crying. He consoled her maturely. He assured her safety and nothing to fear or get worried for because of the rape.
He promised her so many things that could convince the heart of an angel that have committed an error already. This was absurd, a hallow mockery, and a serious fault.
The power with money is almost unlimited sometimes. Even an angel may not be able to resist the temptation of bribe of huge cash.
The politician did not hide his feelings for Yetunde since the day she was sighted at the corridor of his apartment long time ago. The powerful landlord promised her as a lady with great virtues. He assured Yetunde of proper care and sincere support that will never fail henceforth.
But, what kind of friendly game is the dog playing with tiger?
However, he instructed her to keep the deal a complete secret between both of them and that it must not be shared with anyone. If she does, anything terrible can be the result or outcome. The secret was sealed like a covenant. He warned the innocent girl to behave as instructed; trying to do otherwise will definitely lead to immeasurable disaster and frustration. Therefore, she kept everything in her mind.
Thereafter, the guru politician streamed out of the room and pretended as if nothing happened that day. Really, the house of honour is a good place. It is blooming and enriched to be; if you can over-see or close your eyes to some of the rotten incidents enclosed.
''No honour without a trouble or hassles'' says an adage.
Thereafter, Yetunde was dashed with huge, fabulous, fortune money that instantly reformed and changed her status by the billionaire who valued and cherished promises kept. As agreed too, the happened remained solely a hidden secret in the heart of Yetunde. She did not disclose anything to Segun her real and authentic lover boy. Instead, when they met, she only had some rounds of love making together to cover-up. The chapter was closed!
3.
The Sealed Secret
When Yetunde returned to the campus, she created big waves with her studies. She opened a well stocked boutique that instantly became the talk of the town in the whole of Ilorin. In addition, she established a high-class fashion design centre with a unique label that reigned for long among the students and lecturers on campus.
Without any doubts, fortunes smile on her. Yetunde started to reign and ride on the shoulders of giants in the university. She maintained herself and was never drunk with wealth or status. Yes, in the campus, Yetunde was a lily among thorns. The finest apple tree in the orchard garden!
Segun the husband fed her with his love, raisins and apples. They were utterly lovesick.
She had money flowing to her direction on daily basis as undergraduate in the final year. She believed and fears God despite her sudden and timely fortunes. Yetunde never misbehave or commit any atrocity.
As a lady with native wisdom, she was able to cope with the new status experiences. She did not lose focus of her studies despite the number of friends and followers on the campus and in all the social media platforms.
Yetunde with her cohorts enjoyed buffet of the great politician as pets from time to time. It takes time for the ocean to get dry if at all. It is only inside a lake that a big ship can easily get sunk
Yetunde began a new life according to destiny that can never be erased. What will be, will definitely be? A man is only making attempts for the sake of it.
In the society, only the poor have few friends. Everyone is a friend or relative to the rich-man. Yetunde became as popular on the campus as a young entrepreneur, most beautiful and extra-ordinarily brilliant student. A woman of her rank was rare and uncommon. A lot of people believed her to be an angel in human skin.
With the investment and her vast knowledge with great wealth insights, Yetunde became a consultant to both the lecturers and students. She even did some projects for the university consult that earned the university authority huge foreign-grants. The percent given to her by the university authority was reasonable. She invested it in bulk purchased of shares in the stock exchanged market.
Despite her genius in the use of wealth, she further enjoyed patronage from the politician in different colours and contents. Yetunde fled poverty totally.
However, unknown to Yetunde, the sexual intercourse with Segun's father had made her conceived. She had her menstruation period the following month and the second month basically. But at the third month, her period seized totally. As a result, Yetunde became feverish with some strange symptoms. She got worried about her condition. She needed a timely solution to the plight.
Without any further delay, Yetunde visited the hospital for series of tests. At last, the obstetrics and Gynaecologist doctor declared her pregnant. It was confirmed beyond doubts that the woman was carrying a well positioned three months old pregnancy inside her womb. Yetunde endured to comply with the doctors' orders as regards the pregnant .However, the confirmation of the pregnancy was a great bombshell to Yetunde. She was dumb-founded on the spot!
Really, her body changed during that period. People did not suspect that she was pregnant at all. They thought she only had rest of mind that made her to put on some weight as noticed.
When the reality of pregnancy was down on Yetunde, she became upset with heartache. It was like an unimagined dream.
''Ahaaa! I'm in hot soup! '' Yetunde told herself on hearing the mixed-up absurd news of unwanted baby pregnant as double-confirmed by the medical doctor.
''Who shall claim the child?''
''Will it be Segun or his Father?''
She wondered within herself. It was as the world was about crumbling without notice.
''What kind of crossed road experience is this?'' Yetunde inquired. She gabbled seriously. She hates herself for the pending mess.
''How will I explain myself now? ''
All these thoughts and questions ran through the mind of the hard-bitten Yetunde on that fateful day as she left the university clinic where she went for the pregnancy test. She was registered for anti-
Natal the following day.
She became nervous and empty instantly and began to weep silently.
When Yetunde got her private apartment, she stood naked before the standing mirror to re-examine her tummy.
'' Yes, am carrying a baby! '' She told herself.
What has happened has happened, there's no going back again. She was not ready for any abortion as a godly girl that knew the implication of such attempt.
Yetunde became confused and badly depressed. With an unkempt hair, she could not eat anything throughout that day. She was disgusted and highly grieved to the marrow. She never expected such to happen to her.
''What will be the way forward now?'' remained a big question to the frustrated angel in human skin from that moment of reality.
Yetunde was bitterly troubled and downcast. The day was dark to her. She could not sight things clearly any longer. Her thoughts were absurd and tampered with. She almost cursed the day she was born to this world of vanity.
The dilemma of an innocent; hag-ridden undergraduate with a big tummy!
'' Will the barking of dog killed the dog? '' Really, Yetunde was not interested in playing double game.
Yetunde slept off with various thoughts ruling her heart.
At the mid-night, Yetunde took a u-turn from the grief. She made up her mind to boldly informed Segun about the pregnancy news so as to cover and bury that occurred. After all, Segun can never deny having sexual intercourse with her on free tickets several times when they stayed together during the last semester break-holidays. Awaken at dawn with the first noise of the birds
She phoned Segun and got him vividly informed.
''Hello Dear, I have a good news; your baby is in my tummy already!
Segun received the news with great surprise and mixed feelings.
''Oh Sweetie?but that too early'' Segun responded.
Actually Segun was not too serious at the dating but the news hooked him completely. He was trapped and caged!
Yes,'' Do not taste it if you are not ready to experience it!'' says the slogan.
The golden-boy Segun urgently met Yetunde at the university campus the next day for verification and heart-to-heart discussions. Segun had no alternative than to accept fate and plan immediately the way forward in life. There is no result that unprotected sexual intercourse with a girl cannot bring. Yetunde expressed her deep concern about the pregnancy but Segun waved the fear from her mind.
''The child of the way will be the top crown of my love for you?I can't dis-own you because of anything again in this world''
Segun made Yetunde to realise the renewal of love between them
'' Oh, my dear?that's why I love You too?I love everything about You my Gold!'' Yetunde responded.
Segun on that day assured Yetunde of his care and steps to be taken so as to formalized the relationship between the two of them so to forge ahead. He promised to inform his parents immediately.
When a child visits the forest and it got to the mid-night before returning. There will be no option than to take the bold-step for reaching home in the dark. Nothing to fear again!
''Yetunde is pregnant and I can't deny having love affairs with her''
Segun mentioned in his mind as he drove off for Ibadan.
Thereafter, Segun met his beloved mother. She got her informed about his strong love for pretty Yetunde. The mother was happy the more when the news of her pregnancy was told. She jumped up in joy and danced round like a masquerade in festive mood.
After few weeks, Yetunde came home with one her bosom friends at the university campus for the rites. She met Segun's grandparents officially. The day was so special and highly remarkable indeed. The meeting was celebrated in a grand style.
When money is available in excess, every scene is usually turned extra-ordinary in the house of a comfortable billionaire!
It was a dream fulfilled. No good parent would object to his beloved son getting hooked to a well cultured and promising girl in marriage. They accepted Yetunde to be the wife for their beloved first-child.
Meanwhile, the father of Segun, a fair skinned six-footer politician was greatly surprised of what was going on but kept mute as a matured man. He sensed it, but failed to express any feelings openly.
Later, a super grand introduction was done with the family and relatives of Yetunde in attendance at Ikole-Ekiti, the home town of the late father of Yetunde. Money was forced to talk that day without measures.
The coverage of the traditional marriage introduction was broadcast live by three FM Radio stations including Channels TV and CNN.
What some people in the town thought to be the real wedding was just tagged: ''Marriage Introduction''.
During the solemn but heavily loaded ceremony, it was agreed upon by the two families of the couples that a date will be fixed for the real traditional wedding of Segun and their daughter Yetunde when the bride and expectant mother delivered.
Thereafter, Segun's father a generous billionaire proved to be caring and highly supportive in several ways to the couples. A separate building was purchased, renovated and lavishly furnished for Segun and Yetunde in another location within the city.
When money decided to talk in the society, nothing stops the visible demonstration at display. The mansion built for Yetunde and Segun to be living happily as couples was named: ''The Innocent Villa''
It was the ace-politician and billionaire of note who gave the white house the special name during the house warming ceremony. Nobody could explain the reason for such a unique name given by the psychologist and eminent scholar.
The one-in-town castle was painted all white in and out! It was a donation to the new couples to make life more comfortable. Undoubtedly, it was one of the best edifices within the axis. It is located not too far from the Senator Adewolu Ladoja circular road; off Ibadan-Lagos Express Way not far from the Ojoo Bus Terminal end.
The duplex was like a mini-palace; portable in shape and structure. So nice to behold; well fenced with maximum security in a siren environment. Almost eighty percent [80%] of the expensive materials used in the construction of the building were imported.
One of the foremost construction firms in the state was awarded the contract for the putting on of The Innocent Villa project which was speedily completed to taste within few months. The furniture's inside the duplex; plus the finishing were lavishly fixed to taste.
Although the building may be tagged ''The Innocent Villa'' but the expenditure was noisy!
Segun's father never does anything without celebration as sign of gratification to God! Doing otherwise, to him is like covering the goodness of God!
The house warning of The Innocent Villa was in grand style as usual. It was witnessed by families and friends of the celebrant. The couples who got the donation of the house were highly appreciative to the donor. They prayed and wished him a long life and prosperity! Indeed, nothing is too small to celebrate and show the glory of God for!
The bold mark of joining a wealthy family reflected in Yetunde's life. The same was gladly extended to all those that took care of her as an orphan.
When a man received wealth from the lord and good health to enjoy it, what a good blessing to envy and be grateful to the creator.
The junior sister of Yetunde's mother, a tenant in the house the billionaire now turned mother-in-law was well treated according to Yoruba tradition. Your in-laws are mini-gods to be highly cherished. Anyone that released her daughter to another family has done a great thing and nothing can be too big enough to show the appreciation. As a result, Yetunde's aunty that was responsible for her schoolings since the demise of the mother was well compensated.
Nothing stopped the nice Ibadan man from blessing and spraying wealth on an Ekiti woman. For long, ''Ibadan people were regarded as the husbands of the Ekiti indigenes''
A new house, lavishly furnished was barely built for her in less than three months. She was dashed with a brand new Toyota Campy Saloon car for ride and a truck for business.
In addition, a large sum of #50million Naira working capital was released to support her food-stuff trading and supply business. Yetunde became a child of fortune and benefactor to many of her relatives.
Definitely, destiny worked in her favour without any limitation. The merciful God answered her prayers in different dimensions despite the background. Change of status became highly inevitable really. Nothing was hidden. Money in the pocket, bank account or wallets brings confident, honour, prestige and rest of mind from the hustles of life!
The taste of honey is different from that of sugar. Seniority is not limited to mere talking or show-off, but in the display of substances as proved by the Ibadan billionaire to Yetunde and her extended family.
As if that was not enough, Yetunde was given a portable exotic spot-car for crushing at the campus. This was to make life comfortable and stress free due to her condition. She was over pampered during the pregnancy period. It was too much.
If not for the time frame and Yetunde's academic engagements, Segun's father was fully ready to send her abroad for the delivery. When money begins to talk nobody is ready to listen to the voice of a miser and talkative again!
'' A party gives laughter, and wine gives happiness, but money gives everything. Money talks even those with little cash can never kept it shut from talking aloud.''

The Sealed Secret
Few months after, Yetunde delivered in one of the high-class private hospitals in Ibadan. She gave birth to a fine bouncing baby boy without any hassles.
The child was welcome. Yetunde was also in a good condition thereafter the delivery. The hand of God was made manifest during the delivery. In fact, two specialist doctors and a senior mid-wife were arranged and well paid to handle the delivery process being a first-timer.
Everyone is a friend to a new child in Yoruba land. People far and near rejoiced with the politician who was lucky to have a grand-son to reckon with in life. What a blessing that must be celebrated. Nothing should be taken for granted.
The birth of the child by Yetunde automatically turned the status of Segun's parents to grandpa and grandma in the community. You cannot be called by such name if your off springs have not reproduced. Such an experience is attainable only by the grace of God and should not be waved off without appreciation to the creator who made it possible.
The parents were thankful to God for the favour. Segun's father has the habit of praising God all the time. It was gathered that he was fond of shouting a minimum of One thousand Halleluyah every day for the past forty years ago. In some political circles, they tagged him with the alias ''Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan'' We all have our secrets and ways of pleasing the creator.
''Do not thank me but God that deserved our praises ''
was is common saying all the time in response to anyone trying to show him gratitude for his generosity that is usually alarming and often beyond expectation.
''If ones daughter is beautiful, there is no crime in making the declaration'' says an adage.
The ''Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan'' was a good man of notes!
In the hall of fame, if quests were to be invited physically; Segun's father would sit comfortable on the front row. He is not famed for flattering people and politicians. Instead, he has made his mark in speaking the truth to power! The ace-politician was convinced, he can grind his axe intently without minding whose ox is gored as long as he is on the side of the common people.
Really, it is the empty drum that makes the loudest noise.
His generosity was not resisted or limited to his faith alone as a Christian with Anglican background.
Aside from the building of churches and mission houses for various ministries; and Christian movements across the nation and beyond. He equally supported the Muslim movement in the construction an ultra-modern mosque with an Islamic school along Olodo-Iwo express road, Ibadan. Recently, he was responsible for the donation of an ultra modern health centre to two communities in Ona-Ara local Government Area.
Yearly as on records; he sponsors not less than twelve people for H Holy pilgrimages to Jerusalem and Mecca for various religious activities.
In addition, to paying monthly allowances to numerous Pastors, imams and other clergy on his payroll!
He was a prominent investor and cheerful giver in the kingdom of God on earth. He owns and established a movement since thirty years ago named: Faith Partnership Programme for Gospel Investments International [FPPGII]; an NGO with a foundation. Also, he acquired a vast land with mountain for prayers called Hallelluyah Land at Ajia area. Also known as The International Prayer Warriors Centre! [IPWC]
He was found of numerous good works towards the house of God and humanity without any discrimination, sentiment or fanatics. This rare attitude fetched him good name and rich reputation within and outside the city of Ibadan. He holds chieftaincy titles and awards including an honorary Doctorate Degree in Humanity from Trinity University, Lagos Nigeria!
In business, he excels with distinction as an oil magnate. His approach to business too was amazing and a class of its own. The workers in most of his business outfits are well paid and lavishly treated with several fringe benefits and packages. Also he has petrol filling stations located in several places across the length and breadth of Nigeria. He enjoys good patronage and repute from the masses for selling with distinction and ultimate super services without any compromise. ''Winners Never Cheat; Cheaters Never Win!'' is the slogan of his business.
To the Ibadan based Billionaire politician, nothing is too small to thank God for and celebrate with the people. It is not in his attitude to cover the goodness of God in his entire life. A man was generous and gentle to a fault.
No man from Ibadan can beat Segun's father when it comes to giving and sharing with guests and the masses at large. He is never afraid of spending money on projects that can uplift the common man from the bondage of poverty and wretchedness.
No other billionaires are fit to compete with Segun's father when it comes to the display of wealth with sense and glamour! He has the fear of God. His place was the endeavour for on-coming politicians and growing up entrepreneurs.
Surprisingly, Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan was never sort of cash to donate or give out as support. His was never dried of money as if he had an ocean of it. Nobody detected his source of wealth. He was not even accused of corruption when he served as a Federal Minister in the country. But a closed x-ray of the billionaire politician shows and projected a man endowed with divined wealth insights and great native wisdom that was not common.
At the eight day, the christening of Segun's child was held. The grand naming ceremony took place at Premier Hotel. The occasion was gracefully attended by all sort people in the society. Dignities and men of high calibres from nooks and crannies of Nigeria came for the celebration. They came to merry and enjoyed themselves to the full.
No joy or happiness can be covered up by the cloth. It was celebration gallon for Segun's family. All the relatives were in attendance for the naming rites of passage! Everywhere was festive. The grandson of billionaire is being celebrated. The drummers must raise the sound of drum-beat rapidly for dancers to respond without wrinkles. Who will kill the dog for barking aloud or sentence the he-goat to death for fighting with the horns? That would be a blunder!
Yes, the rod must be spared for the billionaires' sake! Definitely, the limbs of men can be mixed up with those of the dogs for the moment. When an elephant is slaughtered for feast; different kinds of knives are often deployed for the herculean task of butchering!
Interestingly, it was long; Ibadan city witnessed such in history. Everywhere rocks with the special Ankara fabrics distributed to mark the naming ceremony where hundreds of citizens were in attendance.
Everyone was accommodated and treated like royal guest. The gathering was well planned and organised by competent professionals.
This is an incontrovertible fact; the event planners did an excellent work on that memorable day. It was an all-rounder ceremony for both the rich and the poor in the city; together with thousands of the impressionable minds.
Undoubtedly, the aged and old men and women were seen parading in joy as they were happily rejoicing with guru Ibadan politician doing feasting for his first grand-child's naming. Many indigenes of Ibadan and clans were in attendance! It was not the Yoruba affairs alone; other ethnic groups were present as well.
At the premises where the celebrations took place, everywhere was peaceful, although the security agents manned and bombarded the venue to check-mate any intruder who may likely misbehave. The guards were battle ready wearing unfriendly faces.
The area boys were curtained, settled and satisfied as well. The great and notable comedians in the likes of AliBaba, Woli Agba, Adigun Ibadan, Papa Bonboy, Funke Akindele, Pastor Remote, Big Eteyii, Shank etc, graced the occasion with loads of jokes like a merchant. It could be tagged: ''The banquet of Jokes!''
The funny comedians took their turn, one after the other. They all entertained the joyful guests and the well wishers around with super and amazing rib-cracking jokes.
All that drove sadness and sorrow to the foreign land completely. It was a joyful occasion; therefore there should be no room for sadness. People gathered to rejoice; no one should cry or shed any tears. The poor after the taste of free rich buffer danced away freely their sorrow! When the hang-over is gone, the drunkard would realise the bills due for clearance.
Both the politicians and business associates of Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan witnessed the one in town naming. The state governor and the Bishop of Anglican Dioceses were in attendance too. The buffet was super and much. The popular king of Juju Music, king Sunny-Ade from Ondo state entertained the guest beyond expectation. The king of Fuji, Wasiu Ayinde also added sugar to the honey.
Equally, the students and lectures from university of Ilorin came to felicitate with Yetunde for the birth of her child!
At a time like this when cost of living has gone beyond the reach of common people, the offer of free bouquet by Segun's father was good enough, timely and greatly appreciated by all and sundry. People eat and drink tired. Some got drunk in that memorable event. They were bailed out by their colleagues who piloted them out of the hall. The house fly that drinks inside the king's cup freely without caution will soon be found drunk inside the glass cup unnoticed.
A well packed rich take home gift was given to everyone without any dis-crimination or oversight. Everyone was treated lavishly well as instructed by the host billionaire: the Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan who was trying to bequeath the legacy of huge generosity to the poor people and the less privileged in the society.
The child was named Junior. He was giving the same name with Segun, the bonfire father!
The adage which says ''seeing is believing '' was proved in Ibadan at the naming celebrations. Those who witness the ceremony can never deny the generosity of Segun's father.
On that day of joy, people unanimously were saying and singing:
''The Rich Man Owns the World''
If all the money-bag politicians can have good heart like this man; the bandits and insurgency will travel away out of our country. But some wealthy individuals had forgotten that: we came empty into this world, and we shall return back in bare-hands without holding any cash. We met money on earth and we shall leave it behind thereafter?..nobody takes money to heaven.
The wise should learn to take everything simple! ''Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity! ''Softly..Softly?Softly!!! The ground may be sleepy!'' - A sound warning to the hearten-rich man in the community.
For weeks, the christening was the big talk of the town! Money was forced to talk louder than before.
Meanwhile, the kept secret of what occurred between Yetunde and the father of Segun?the billionaire politician of Ibadan was almost a done deal. All but, a factor was about to dig out the matter afresh despite the time lag.
'' It appeared that the buried corpse just got on leg out not cover with sand''
Really, it is only the woman of a born child that can confirm the real father of her baby. A wife can tell the story of her encounters before she gave birth. Life is complex. There things that are beyond our imagination when it comes to rearing children. The society today is full of vagabonds.
The child of a strange man outside will be brought home by the wife for rearing under the roof of an innocent husband unknowingly.
Can you imagine?.The child of Oba given to Osun to father! It is definitely not proper. But who will be able to detect what went wrong?
In truth, the child born for Segun by Yetunde named Junior resembled the grandfather too much. Even a blind man can sense it vividly. The child Junior from day one was like a duplicate of the great politician.
The baby was as if Segun's father vomited him from the mouth. Junior without any doubt was a carbon copy of grandpa. When you look closely at the boy would be as if you are observing a small stature of the grandpa. But, how come! It was too absurd to behold. However, the born-child was feeble. No doubt about that and nothing to gossip for.
This was alarming and amazing to every member of the family.
Yes, a child can resemble any of the parents. And sometimes, it may not. There may not be any specious approach when the born child took after the parents, any of the grandparents or the great-grandparents as well. It all depends on the handiwork of nature.
Every born child must and will resemble someone in particular. But, there must not be any shady deal involved, infidelity or adulterous act by the mother along the line. No child can claimed two living fathers. Likewise, there are no children without a biological father. Only that such a father may not be known.
To be candid, when a child is born, only the mother can confirm the real father. We are living in a more complicated world these days.
The troubles encountered by pregnant woman can never be reported through the hubby. ''The person that swallowed mortal will not sleep or rest comfortable '' says an adage.
He who destroyed the house of swaps definitely invited troubles for himself.
''Who will prevent the furious flood of Ogunpa from carrying sand into the rivers?''
Therefore, Junior resembled someone within the family of Segun. That is Ok, the distance is not farfetched. No problem in that, no hassles as well. The storm should be made to rest inside a big cooler.
Obviously, Segun the bonfire father of Junior too noticed vividly well the close resemblance of the boy with his father from head to toe. However, he failed to attach many negative meanings or impression to it in any way. He never raised any eye-brow at all.
After all, Segun too was the true lad of his father in resemblance and body build-up. The only area of difference was in the skin complex. Both Yetunde and Segun are dark in complexion like is grandmother. But Junior was born with fair complex and smooth skin like that of the grandfather.
The nature cannot be blamed for such outcome. Who will be bold enough to question God of destiny on any issue at stake in life?
Actually, everyone cannot sleep and face the same direction. Things may not go well that way. Some people are highly gifted among women who can interpret or read unusual meanings to certain things in life.
The grandmother was not comfortable about what was happening as regards the closed resemblance of Segun's son with her hubby which was too suspicious and obvious
On detecting what she saw as a rebel, Segun's mother took a bold step for clarification of the deadly act.
The woman questioned her husband if there was a romantic love affair between him and Yetunde, the wife of their son.
The ace-politician waved off the allegation outright.
''Abaaa! How can I descend so low to that level?Will I be-little myself? Trust me?Nothing of such, dear!''
Segun's father told his wife jokingly.
''Baba Segun; I know you to be a lion that is usually interested in eaten fresh meat''
The grandmother responded to her husband.
''But not like this one, a horse does not eat the grass underneath it''
Segun's replied with a serious smile. She was bamboozled and cajoled! If the person talking is a fool, the listeners must be wise.
The gains in lies cannot be missed by the two people involved!
The politician scooped his wife with series of other pending matters so as to dismiss her allegation.
Thereafter, the case was closed and buried finally. Nobody referred to it again in the whole universe. There is nothing strange again. Nothing to raise your stress or engaged unnecessary worries. If you are too concern about issues of life, it can lead you to untimely grave experience. Therefore, learn to take life as simple as possible. The highly exposed politician do admonished his wife and followers on different occasions.
Those who failed to give their minds rest do suffer high blood pressure on the long run.
Oh Yes, the world cannot end like that. Nothing on earth can make the heaven to fall?impossible!
Fear can kill. Therefore, never allow the fear of anything get you down. Tomorrow will come no matter what today may be speaking. Pleasant or unpleasant! And when the toil is over, today will become yesterday and every incident therein becomes history automatically.
We may be writing the history now, but later will shall be the history that other people will be talking about?That is life for You!
Indeed, you could take Segun's father for a church Pastor or one of the highly rated motivational speakers of our generation. He was a man of many colours and shades. He was a bookworm and a workaholic. He owns a very big library with stock of books worth over 2billion dollars. No individual in the whole of Nigeria have such an asset like the Ajorosun man. He got many awards and honours from the nation and international organisations because of his versatile and genuinely.
Recently, the Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan earned Doctorate Degree in Philosophy from The Nation Open University. He had money, people and books. He planned to establish a radio station for Yetunde that will be named Rejoice FM. The registration of the proposed radio station is already in progress anyway. What can money not do? Is there any question that money cannot answer in this country?

The Sealed Secret
Yetunde and her hubby enjoyed several opportunities and fortunes from the father in-law and the rest members of the family. She was a wife proud of by Segun too. She finished her studies with First Class from the UniIlorin. She enjoyed her sole-life without exhibiting any thrift attitude. What a highly disciplined and cool headed wife.
Yetunde was the overall best student from her faculty. Her brilliance was without measures. The gift of establishing a Radio Station was the promise of the father-in-law on the graduation day aside from other special awards granted.
''If lie travels for twenty years, one day the truth will overtake ''says a Yoruba adage!
Let us wait patiently and see. The photographer will one day come up with the image or picture captured with his camera. Nothing is hidden under heaven. One day the plain truth of every matter will be widely exposed including the very serious evil done in the past hidden and not revealed.
Really, a time would come in the nearest future the sealed secret will be blown open. Will it be palatable? It is just a matter of time for the vagabond to identify himself in the house of honour and prestige.
As it was slated by destiny, Junior the son of Segun grew up rapidly. He started schooling at a tender age. He was a promising and gutsy that the parent were proud of. Almost everything about his growth was amazing and very unique.
Unfortunately, both Yetunde and Segun did not have any other child after Junior was born few years back. This was not planned at all or in tensional.
As a woman and mother, it was discovered that Yetunde could not get pregnant for a while. It was a rife. All frantic efforts made by the couples failed woefully.
Every step taken has been in futility. Actually, Junior was ripped to have another kin behind him but it was unrealistic. Yetunde was temporarily barren but hopeful. But the issue at stake demands a prompt attention from serious minded couples.
Actually, when an orange is sweet and juice, eating more than one is most likely to happen. The sweetness of honey is never rejected by the tongue. You can't sweep the floor of a house once and expect it clean for life! The experiences of life are usually continuous or often repeated.
Both Segun and Yetunde desired and cherished having additional child. But all their efforts on the issue were like pouring water on the outer side of egg. It will not hold. Segun believed in figures as chartered accountant, with clear understanding and the insights of multiple figures. One as regard asset is never a comfortable zone and highly risky.
A child was not the best for the young couples. However, no individual can outrun or ran pass the mark of destiny. Every journey must have a specific destination. Life and the experiences are lessons to behold for the wise. The prudent with native wisdom will tap constantly from the best teacher referred to as ''Experience''
Experience, they say is the best teacher today!
Nobody is older than his or her experiences of destiny. What will be will be? Sometimes, what is bound to happen will be? What is written is written already. We are only making efforts! In fact, our experiences are just the simple interpretation of destiny.
Indeed, no one can force a ripped coconut to fall. There is time for everything under the sun.
The fact remains, Junior the only child of Segun may be due to have followers behind him. However, the reality of such expectation looks like a mere dream for now. The couples search for additional has been unfruitful.
Despite, Yetunde was never a cranky woman! Conspicuously, the tummy of Yetunde also appeared big without foetus inside. The rain of a new child seized for a while. This is an incontrovertible fact.
In the process, the two couples sought for spiritual solution by visiting prophets and attending mountain tops for prayers and counselling. A barren-woman desperately looking for additional child will not sleep at home all the time. It was like a constant dripping on a rainy day.
With God all things are possible. If we can pray; something will happen! Those who do not pray deprive themselves of the blessings that only God can give!
In addition to finding help spiritually, the couples took a bold further by going for medical attention to detect if any went wrong with any of them. As a result, Yetunde underwent series of tests and medical treatments. They even took some herbs as recommended. Her heart was heavy for not having additional child of her own.
It was confirm that the couples are medically fit to produce additional child. The seizure was temporary. They only have to wait for God-the embodiment of divine strength! At an appropriate time in the sight of God, the joy of a new child will visit their castle again. The blessing of childhood will one be bestow on them eventually. They just need to be patient for a while. It is never late in the sight of God to do it for them.
Since no one can stop the wind or hold unto anything with oil-slick hands; what is destiny to happen to a man will eventually become an history to be told like folk-lore! To have rest and peace of heart, don't fight the facts of nature. It is a battle that cannot be won!
In life, a rich man can buy virtually anything but not a biological child.
The couples waited and waited. The story remained the same. When human efforts failed on an issue of life the best will be to result to fate and forge ahead. Tough times never last, but tough people do!
A long the line, both Segun and Yetunde were appreciative to God almighty that did not allow them to engaged in the devilish thought of terminating the pregnancy of Junior that came at an odd time years back when the mother was an under graduate in the university then. ''All things work for good. If not, regrets would have been our potion now.'' Both couples acknowledge the fact, and consoled themselves further.
Since the situation remained as usual. The couple is yet to make any headway in their struggles to have additional child.
Segun accepted it and resolved to fate. He did not give himself any further headache again. Instead, He faced squarely other pursuit of life with his wife.
''After all, a man with a son cannot be declared barren or childless in the society''. Yetunde voiced out happily and cheerfully in one of their discussions as husband and wife
As the little-boy Junior grew-up rapidly, Segun was getting elevation in his place of work. Yetunde's business too was booming with huge and bountiful contracts. The splendid of life was to the favour of the couples.
Consequence, one day, both couples at brink of returning from the colourful and glorious end of the year party organized by the school their son was attending. The school was a high-rated private nursery School located at the GRA not far from the Government Secretariat within the city of Ibadan.
Segun and Yetunde were proud of the son they are blessed with as parents. The genuine child performed excellently well at the occasion. Junior had the overall best-students prize as the most brilliant pupil and a bright spark kid in the entire school.
Some of the parents in attendance at the end of the year party prayed and wished to have a kid like Junior who will bring glory to their family.
When the ceremony was over on that afternoon, they left for Agbowo to make some business transactions before heading home. On the way coming, they had a brief stopover at Segun's parents residence located at Agbowo before the Ibadan-Lagos Express junction, not too far from the Ojoo end.
The genius Junior, Yetunde his mother, and Segun were gladly welcome. They were well and lavishly entertained by the grandparents. The atmosphere was very splendid.
They were treated like an august visitors because it was long they had time to be physically available to wine and dine with the aged lovely parents.
Segun's father was extremely happy at Junior's performance in the school as reported by the parents. The boy was hugged by the guru-politician. Both the grandpa and grandma prayed for Junior with mouth wetting promises. ''Good Boy, keep it up!'' the small boy was happily encouraged cheerfully by the grandparents.
After few hours, they were set to leave for home. Junior was a bit reluctant. The small boy exhibited some signs of refuse. The mother acted as if she was absent minded to the reaction. However, the sharp boy bears out his mind.
Junior graciously requested from his parents loudly that he loved to stay behind to spend few days with the grand-parents. They couples looked at each other without uttering a word. What a brilliant request from a highly brilliant and intelligent boy!
It was unexpected. Segun did not object it. Likewise Yetunde could not express her frank openly. Invariable, it was approved. That was how Junior stayed behind to have some funs with the grandparents.
Thereafter, both Yetunde and Segun without any alternative waved Bye?Bye to the boy! The couples drove home to enjoy themselves further for the rest of the week.
To be candid, Yetunde was not pleased at all with the approval of allowing the boy to stay with grandparents. But she does not have the impetus to say no. The parents of Segun would give such objection negative mean or interpretation.
When you are at the place of in-laws as wife or woman of virtues, you need to put on acceptable behaviours no matter how inconvenient such may be. Native wisdom demands such an attitude so as to escape naggings from your in-laws. The river is never afraid, only the swimmer must be cautioned.
Really, the trouble-some and restless Junior had good times with the grandparents of his father. He was well taken care of. The grandma, mother of five groomed children including Segun gave the grand-child a taste of how his father was nursed when young.
While Junior was with grandpa and grandma, he behaves so well. Both Father and the age-woman loved him with his youthful attitudes. But sometimes, he could display some strange attitudes such as snoring when sleeping and bed-wetting.
The grandparents were still happy with the lad despite. It was the boy that made them to be referred to as grandpa and grandma. Also, Junior is the first grandson that will be numbered for them when passed-on to the great beyond. Therefore, they have to bear it. Every status has its own toil. Every crown is usually with a thorn.
One day when grandma left home for the market with her driver. Junior was left behind with his grandpa to play with.
The boy boldly approached the grandfather in a serious mood. He told the man:
''Grandpa, I see you as my Father because I resembled you most and not Segun''
Junior told the ace-politician frankly
''No?.No?No?!!! Segun is your father?Am only your grandpa''
The man responded to the boy inside the bedroom where the two of them were having a rest. With a baleful expression, the politician was baffled and apathetic. He did not expect such a claim from Junior at that tender age. What a funny embarrassment?
However, a trained politician is ever ready for awesome game both during the day and at night. On seeing what was going on, Segun's father became highly worried and greatly troubled. It became a nightmare. He therefore retorted may be Yetunde, had disclosed to the boy what happened secretly between the two of them.
It has been said that for a stranger to enter a particular town and identify correctly the grave of a blind man, an indigene must know one or two things about it!
However, Segun's father maturely handled the situation as an experienced politician. No matter what happened, white can be turned black overnight. No shaking, nothing to fear. Money power can seal up anything in the country including the mouth of an angel!
From that moment, Junior's case became the only thorn in the flesh of Segun's father. As good as the boy was admired and appreciated by the grandparents. He often miss-behaved as kid with little understanding. Sometimes, he could be asking sensitive questions that one must be careful in given answers to because of the likely implications.
The aged father began to complain but to his wife some of the unpalatable strange attitudes of Junior that he cannot tolerate any longer.
The madam who had the training and experience in the grooming of kids and teenagers pleaded with her hubby on the matter.'' No matter how good a person may be, there will be a weakness. That is what life is made of; we need to tolerate each other no matter what. Don't blame Junior for being outrageous. He is still at tender age. Whenever he becomes an adult, he is going to adjust and have better understanding of life.'' Politeness requires us to remain silent on this issue.
Grandma admonished her hubby softly on behalf of the boy Junior!
The wife made Segun's father realized a man cannot claim to be perfect except Jesus Christ of the Holy Bible.
''Dear, you are right?when I was like the boy in my days?I was more than terrible too'' Segun's father mentioned jokingly.
The grandparents had a rib-cracking laughter together and went to sleep that night.
To be candid, the short stay of Junior was very lively. It was as if the boy has been with the grandparents for years. The family was lucky to be blessed with a rare breed. A young child that was so sharp and highly intelligent. Only eight year's kids who behaves maturely beyond his age bracket. He could be restless during the day. Jumping from one sport to the other; singing, dancing and making displays that project his natural inborn talents as a child of favour.
Junior was presented a giant teddy bear as parting gift by the grandfather to be playing with. It was hoped that the toy would keep him busy.
In fact, there was no dull moment for the boy except when he was sleeping or eating his favourite food. Junior had ethics and table manners. You can never catch him talking when at the dining room eating.
''When eating, you should not talk'' the boy would caution any of the grandparents or anybody who dare break the rule.

The Sealed Secret
During that weekend, Yetunde eagerly came to pick her boy Junior back home so that he could attend the Sunday service at Redeemed Gospel Church International. Actually, Junior will be leading the children choir at the harvest service.
The absence of the boy almost made Segun sick. He was used with the son. Yetunde's visit to pick the lad was with the consent of her husband.
Apparently, when Yetunde was with Segun's father, the wife was not at home. She had travelled to Lagos to attend a wedding. The grandma was not likely to return until Sunday afternoon after service.
On sighting Yetunde, the wife of Segun, the guru billionaire politician saw the visitation as a change again to re-enforce some things. The faint hearted Segun's father tactically enquired from Yetunde solemnly if she ever told Junior or anyone else about what they had together in the past; simply because of the strange, nasty, funny behaviours exhibited by her boy to him during the short-stay. Yetunde was enraged by the sensitive statements from her father-in-law.
''No sweetie?you should count on me''
Yetunde assured her father-in-law with a lovely smile.
The mother of Junior further explained to the aged grandpa that she was not pleased or at peace with the approval granted her son to stay behind with them for the short stay
''Sir, to be candid, if not because there was no option for me on that very day; I would have not have released my son for the short stay''
Yetunde declared boldly.
Junior is such a strange child?he could sometimes be rude or probing.
He could bellicose most especially when cautioned against his mind.''
The mother of Junior told plainly Segun's father and she apologise for any embarrassments caused by the lad.
''I 'II charm him against doing such next time please''
Be rest assured and trust me?.
''Hey, how come tell anybody about my mistake?what will be wrong with me to disclose such secret to anybody living or dead?never?never?never?I'm not daft!''
Yetunde said further in a serious mood.
Segun's father smiled as Yetunde coyly winked suggestively at him.
Meanwhile, Yetunde the wife of Segun denied out rightly ever informing anybody how she was raped by the politician in the past.
''Our secret remained a secret and it must be secretly kept and preserved for ever''
Yetunde authoritatively pronounced.
''Haba, when am not a kid or inexperienced. What do I stand to gain from making the declaration of such sacred act?
I can't be so foolish or daft ''
The amity between the two of them was so hidden like a Sealed Secret that was had to blow open by mere person unharmed.
Yetunde was not sort of words any longer. She told grandpa that the deal between them had been died and buried for quite a long time and nobody can uproot it again.
With the statements of assurance from Yetunde, the trouble politician who foresaw danger with Junior unusual utterances became relief. The high tension in hear vamoosed like a deflated balloon instantly.
Segun's father was extremely delighted with Yetunde at that moment. He was happy having secret affairs with a matured woman. He drew Yetunde closer to himself and gave her a romantic kiss.
''You will surely see my hand of favour before you reach home today for keeping the sealed secret intact''
The billionaire politician assured Yetunde. He was highly elevated from what he heard from Junior's mother.
Thereafter, light aromatic refreshment was offered to appetizer Yetunde after they had exchanged banters for a while over bottles of red wine, stick meat and snacks.
A meal of frivolous pounded yam was served with apricot to crown the length engagement.
The housefly that is freely drinking wine inside the king's cup will one day get drunk and soaked.
The boy Junior with unique hindsight appeared to have occupied himself with the giant-size Teddy-bear purchased for him as Greek gift by the grandfather as promised. He was bystander!
When both Yetunde and grandpa were staying together; they took the son for granted. What a blatant error! Underscoring Junior doing a chid-play at the small waiting room, they be-little Junior as a small boy. They thought that does not understand. He was almost absent minded to what was going on in the relatively closed standing meeting and the lengthy discussions held between them on that Saturday.
Only God almighty that can expose vividly the hidden actions of a father-in-law that turned himself surgical-doctor overnight behind closed doors with his son's beloved wife.
Anyway, nothing is strange again under the sun. It is a common practise elsewhere unchecked!
The hungry cat can swallow a tasty meat if placed within reach. But with the caution of aftermath, a dog should scare away from eating all the found dead-meat so as not to swallow poison as tasty soft meat freely. Life is delicate and should not be managed anyhow.
''Hey Yetunde, I always lose my sense each time I sighted your image?I have nightmare because of you nearly every day''
Segun's father confessed deeply in appreciation of Yetunde?the fresh African Beauty?An angel in human skin living at heartland of Ibadan
''That will be for another day; the road is not clear''
-Hearten Yetunde pleasurable discharged her father-in-law demand for sexual intercourse in aplomb audaciously.
The deal was too dark for anyone to get a clear picture of what was going on that Saturday.
Fortunately, without any overstatement, gaily Yetunde enjoyed fortified love and care from grandpa. Fortunes smile on her for the past years as vowed by the billionaire. The showers of raw cash and splendour gifts were amazingly flowing like stream regularly for several months. Yetunde was extremely fostered by her father-in-law without gauge.
The father-in-law was like a Father Christmas to the woman. Every day was raining cash in one way or the other. Undoubtedly, big fortunes were boldly settled with Yetunde as influenced by Segun's father. The cash tap like ATM was flowing to Yetunde's pursue that got fattened up within a short span.
Anyway, the hidden love with the sealed secret remained a covenant and bond between Yetunde and the generous Ibadan-based politician who refused to grow old
For the reason best known to her, Yetunde did not throw decorum to the wind as desired by Segun's father to be sharing the same bed.
When it was time to leave, Yetunde was pleased and happy. She stepped out of the building highly excited about the promise of another round of compensation for keeping the sealed secret intact. She looked forward to it.
The billionaire father-in-law had a rest of mind. The departure was on a good note anyway. When what one love to eat is not available; one would joyfully search for an alternative.
Yetunde gleefully jumped inside her gleaming black Highlander Toyota Jeep with her son and drove off. Grandpa waved bye to Junior. The boy was crying. He did not love to leave the premises.
''Grandpa, let me stay with you'' the boy boldly uttered while inside the car. He was pampered despite his grumblings.
''Never mind?Grandpa will come to pick you after the service on Sunday'' Yetunde with eyeful assured him jokingly! She was only deceiving the boy.
Both Yetunde and Segun's father had meaningful eyes contact. He winked at the woman with back slapping while trying to lock the car door and took off finally.
The departure was on fresh notes with lasting memorable experiences! Indeed, Yetunde had benefitted handsomely from her relationship with Segun's father.
Meanwhile, for concealing the secret, Segun's father planned to compensate the woman out of his reserved fortunes.
Yes, when you make a wealthy man happy and glad. No gift will be too big for a dash.
Immediately Yetunde with Junior, the billionaire went straight to the sitting room thinking almost aloud.
''What a matured woman to have like Yetunde instead of the haggard old, unserviceable fuddy-duddy woman that is almost out of stuff''
Really, the beauty of Yetunde cannot be ignored by any right thinking man of taste including the billionaire politician from Ibadan Municipal.
Oh my God, Yetunde as a woman had the gazelle of a beauty queen with the corpulent physique of lady of substance with comely appearance.
''If Yetunde could be so preserved to that level, definitely; she deserved a bountiful compensation from me''
The billionaire bravely confessed, joyously raising a punch at the wall.
Without any further delay, grandpa was about to shower cash rebate again. The comfortable billionaire went promptly inside his luminous bed room highly elevated and greatly inspired.
He picked the phone immediately and made an instant cash transfer of #100 million Naira! [One hundred million Naira] to Yetunde's GTBank Account with a short message:
''A token for keeping the sealed secret intact, you deserved the compensation'' it's well!

The Sealed Secret
In the gibbers, Segun's father thought that the parting gift will erase his promiscuity.
Nothing is too big or small to compensate any loyal individual. Most especially, in the situation when the favour of God is at work. Secrets are meant to hidden and kept and not to be exposed.
In the society, there are some information that should be cover and never broken, exposed or revealed because of the likely negative implication. It is unfortunate that many people have meant untimely death simply because they attempted to expose hidden secrets at their disposer.
Be remained again and again, secrets are meant to be sealed and kept intact and never to be exposed. In life we all have our secrets.
''The soup inside the stomach of an elder is never heard shaking but intact'' says a Yoruba adage.
If you love yourself, keep your secret kept; if not you will soon suffer the consequence.
With Yetunde, while on his way home with Junior at the back seat and the kept secret that was sealed and kept intact at a corner inside her heart. She was addled and began to flashback to imagine the kind of absurd behaviour that her adder-Junior must have displayed that totally upset the heart of Segun's father who had seen and exposed to vast incidents in life. What could have got the elderly man shiver like a chick that enters the rain?
They way the billionaire confronted when she reached the house few hours ago were still embarrassing. The allegations coupled with the lengthy discussion that prevailed thereafter.
''A kid could be funny'' Yetunde concluded.
Junior could be naught! She frowns at the boy.
She had a pathological hatred for the boy as well.
''will this outrageous child not spoil my life'' The woman asked herself without any answer.
Yetunde was bitterly displeased with the passive boy but remained calm while driving on because she was about to join the Lagos - Ibadan express way at the Ojoo end.
The gadfly will soon rest for a while.
''No problem?heaven cannot fall?come hell or high water, let us wait and see what will happen? life must continue as written'' Yetunde ponder within herself
''No animal can be bold enough to chase lion out of the forest?Who exactly will be the architect of my troubles in this city?''
Madam Yetunde, the mother of Junior bluntly and frankly uttered loudly as she steadily moved the four-runner jeep off the Express-way to join the last street leading to their residence within the GRA [ Government Reservation Area] not too far away from the Senator Ladoja circular road under construction.
A few metres away from the T-Junction; the ride was so smooth and pleasurable. The road was not busy unlike other days. Junior dosed off with sound sleep at the back seat snoring like Segun when on bed. He enjoyed the drive undoubtedly.
With the andante inspiring gospel music of Tope Alabi solemnly aired at the background. It created a thrill and super excitement.
''We own the world?we can rewrite the story again!''
Yetunde was almost carried away. She nearly lost in thoughts.
While trying to wake Junior up from the slumbering; Yetunde heard an alert-tone from her latest imported iphone. In alacrity, she quickly checked awaited message to read with surprise!
Wahoo! Yetunde could not believe what she saw. It was like a dream. The huge amount of money dropped inside her bank account was beyond imagination.
''Do I really worth it?
#100million Naira cash dash again from the generous billionaire of note.
''A token compensation for your keeping the sealed secret intact ''
With the cash dash, the possibility of the Okro tree growing taller than the owner cannot be ruled out.
Indeed, big fortune arrived at last for Yetunde, woman of destiny before reaching home as promised by the care free money bag politician. Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan have proved himself?its well indeed!
Could this be really.. How come this much?
Several probing questions came out of her mind to express the greatest soak that arrived earlier than expected. It took her a while to confirm the reality of the message read. No doubt?no fear again!
Yetunde became so lucky enough to become an instant millionaire with One hundred million naira [#100million naira] credit transfer from her husband's father just for keeping the sealed secret intact!
''So it paid heavily to keep a sealed secret intact forever?''
Yetunde imagined and rejoiced. She was highly grateful to the Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan.
'' No heavens can fall again'' Yetunde repeatedly exclaimed adamantly.
Yes, a lackey of the billionaire politician landed safely. With the cool millions inside her bank account already, Yetunde felt on top of the world, and more desperate immediately to get rid of Segun?the only cog in the wheel for now! Segun the father of Junior was her main headache.
The deal is done again for the orphan girl turned millionaire after several ordeals of life. Indeed, before yam could be turned to pounded yam, several poundings took place with the pestle inside the mortal.
No success status is ease to attain in this world any longer. Yetunde began several self meditation that involved concrete thoughts and deeper feelings. The route to the city of success and wealth is long and wingding; only the courageous can endure it.
This is a good world to experience and enjoyed?The Ekiti-born woman ascertained. Whatever be the outcome will definitely be a cross to bear in fate without hassles. Nothing goes for anything. A hunter that enters the bush and failed to bring home animal will not eat a delicious soup from the wife that day.
'' If you find a foolish man's footprint and you failed to scoop it up to make your voodoo, when do you think you will find that of a wise man?''
Yetunde pondered within her minds. The taken pounded yam at her father-in-laws house was yet to digest.
One good turn definitely deserved another. If you have relationship with the rich and your life remained the same. You have to check it fast critically. May be you are under a curse or that your wealthy bosom friend is a chronic miser to keep the distance from. The choice remained yours. Either to wallop in the killing-poverty at stake or quit for the best alternative
The world is big enough to parade or exhibit love in any desired way. The cloth of love put on as pullover by a woman can be easily removed with money than poverty displayed!
No toad will stay too long in a very hot spot. What is the essence of love without the adequate substances needed to sustain the affairs?
Really, the vast mansion of the devil is located at the last bus-stop next to the lake of fire! Money will always be the best defender for the desperately hustle-woman in the city of love anytime.
In the past, music was the food of love to taste, eat and digest. But today, money have take the league and won the big trophy.
''No Money, No Love'' is the new song by The Toad inside the stream!
Two lines crossed each other. They aged-politician was thirsty and crying for love, the pretty Yetunde is clamouring for money. Which is which?
Can there be the true love again without the influence of dollars?
The root of all sins was about to be uprooted. Who will be around really to witness the downfall of the big Iroko-tree that is about to be cut-off by the batch of termites?
The remains will be for the vagabonds to witness and wrestle with!
Everything that will become of man tomorrow is solely in the hand of destiny. Only God can predict precisely how the future will be no matter or whatever may be the present experience!
All these awful-thoughts occupied the mind of Yetunde-the brand-new multi-millionaire as she pleasurably drove the latest edition
The black Highlander Jeep bought for her as birthday gift by her billionaire father-in-law recently. The trade of love and trends was taking another dimension on daily basis unchecked! The great excitement of being a millionaire got her highly lifted!
It was time to reach the house at last; Yetunde drove the vehicle of her choice to a halt joyfully! She stepped out rejoicing with Junior. What an unimagined automatic elevation in life? What a miracle for big testimony. However, Yetunde kept everything in her heart.
She was happy to repatriate her son back home from the grandparents of Segun at last and they are able to reach the house in peace.
Yetunde, the woman of substance and native wisdom comforted herself without any exhibition or announcement as she took Junior inside the house and met her well-fed husband waiting patiently at the lavished sitting room for their returned.
Segun remember what his politician father used to say:
''you do not stone back a mad person who hit you with a sharp stone. If you do you are not better than him. You are equally mad''
On sighting his wife, the arouse Segun gave Yetunde a super welcome kiss. He snapped Junior from her and whispers something to his wife immediately. The boy was taken inside the bedroom to continue his sleep instead of stumbling.
Earlier, because of desire for sex and libido production, he eats heart-healthy and antioxidant-rich foods like sawa fish, onions, dandelion leaves, beans and legumes that help to provide for smooth unforgettable thrusting in and out.
Segun amorously locked the keys to the entrance door, changed the white-light at the sitting room to blue. A plan was in the coffin about to be revealed. There was no ambient light to disturb them from the romantic for-play.
Undoubtedly, Segun was desperately hungry for the food of love with no fading taste at that moment. Yetunde got the message accurately and decoded it appropriately. She off her amulet and the high hill-shoes immediately; threw the min-gown on the floor. She became naked without any underwear on her. At the sight of Yetunde's graciously endowed sex organs, her erect nipples, standing breasts well pronounced for even the blind to feel and see.
The gallant Segun got sparked; he started breathing furiously like a racing dog thirsty to link water. He walked to the pretty queen and embraced her pleasantly. He planted a kiss on her neck which she responded to with alacrity.
The husband held her lovely tight and they began to kiss, sucking each other's lips recklessly. She moaned as Segun's tongue hovered around her lips to the neck and then to her succulent dangling full breasts. The two lover-ants were carried away in the fantasy of love.
Thereafter, Yetunde spread her fatty, smooth, fresh lapses wide-open on the centre-table for the speedy entrance of the natural rocky solid rod of Segun. The penetration was hot, sweet and smooth ever inside the naturally lubricated vagina!
The agile Segun descended on her and entered the wet inner room raw and deeply. She fluttered her eye lashes at him. They twist and tango with a scream to the rhythm! It was another game entirely that evening. The best food of love got served on the floor. The romantic game lasted for hours without any disturbance.
Like heaven-sent, it began to rain heavily outside. Yetunde blocked her ears to the taunting of the garrulous rain. She cheered and jeered as Segun lustfully but tactlessly tackled the soup of love in grand style that night till day break. They also had a raw sexual bath.
It was rolls of fantastic bites with different styles and funky versions exploded. When the woman got aroused or experienced orgasm, she sometimes laughs or cries uncontrollably.
The dream and reality of becoming a multi-millionaire kept ringing inside Yetunde's mind while dancing to the rhythm of love at play. All along, Yetunde kept remaining herself: The Secret is sealed: heavens cannot fall again''. In the sexual fantasy, that was uniquely strange.
Love like the law, are asses sometimes. Only God can shield light to the hidden secret!
Segun eroticized and enjoyed Yetunde that night as never before. '' I found a diamond'' He uttered afterglow.
That was one of the reasons while he delayed ejaculation but remained fused unlike in the past with less capacity to perform. He thought his hale performance on healthy Yetunde; a fat corpulent woman of taste like honey was ground breaking. It was all glee throughout the night.
The excitements and rhythms were too much to hold or let go like that. They were glued together like magnet. No stopping, no dull moment. It was like an Oliver Twist asking for more and more!
Yetunde fancy her husband's top gear actions on her. Yes, sex in a marriage relationship, when it's good, can be amazing! It was awesome. At brink of the sexual intimacy that had huge impact; the woman expressed her satisfaction:
''Dear, your performance was fantastic'' voiced Yetunde as they concluded the seventh round on the kitchen cabinet. They both enjoyed themselves to the uttermost. Everyone was glad and elevated.
At that night game, Segun felt great and praises her wife with these words:
'' There are many fine women and mothers in the world; but you are the best of them
All''
After the strenuous, intense sexual activity between the two couples that night with different kinds of styles; Tomorrow is another day!
No matter how delayed the night may be, the sun will rise at the day-break. No matter how sweet the music of love may sound; the record will fade-off at last.
No experience is made to last for life but for a while!
Indeed, the reunion of the two lovers cannot be captured enough. It was awesome moment while it last.
8.
The Sealed Secret
It was a new day to start afresh, business for the week. The struggles for survival began in harness as usual. Madam Yetunde was able to maturely handle her new financial status.
Really, one can be rich without any unnecessary glamour or declaration that does attract the odds of life. It is a matter of maturity and prudent approach. Ego blowing could be a form of insanity.
The beginning of so many peoples' problem or hardship in our society could be traced to wanting others to identify their status.
''Who will chase me out with the gun; or Get me to be kidnapped for a ransom. When they don't smell the odour of millions on my body?''
Yetunde thought aloud!
When a child makes strange fortune everywhere will be noisy for the world to share with mercilessly; but a prudent individual will not boost of anything! Money does not have relative or generation. If you make it, be wise; if not the money like a bird will grow wings and fly away.
Unknown to Segun the husband, Yetunde has made one hundred millionaires for herself in less than eighteen hours ago. The mother of Junior kept the news of - millions cash achievement mute and sealed for reasons.
The beautiful queen of fashions merchant did not disclosed anything to Segun her beloved despite the closeness. But if critically observed, it was clear from her mien that she was pleased with life beyond ordinary, God have answered her prayers invariably. She was experiencing a better life as a woman of substance!
''Surely, the churning of milk bringeth fort butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife'' says in Proverbs 30:33
The final escape from the viscous bondage of poverty arrived for Yetunde by the grace of God. She had all causes to be grateful to the creator and rejoice. She hopes to name her next child ''Rejoice'' or ''Goodness'' if possible.
Yetunde was fully ready to face her life and business squarely more than before. She wanted to make roadmap and suitable blue print that will make her generation never smell poverty again for life. The unique opportunity for such proposal was been given with the one hundred million naira parting gift in her custody. She needs to promptly seize the chance. What is worth doing at all is worth doing well.
With good wealth Insights, the foundation of fortunes could be created from little cash. Yetunde, in one of her consultations with university of Ilorin authority informed them on how University of Ibadan invested a sum of twenty five thousand naira to purchase shares in a multi-national company years back, and the value today worth over One hundred and fifty billion. Definitely, Yetunde's brain was task and sparked for rightful investments search immediately.
According to the history of wealth, if Aliko Dangote could become the richest man in African merely thirty year of a loan support of five hundred thousand naira from Dantata his uncle. Then 100million naira is more than enough to make a new story in life.
Also, If Senator Jimoh Ibrahim could be a comfortable billionaire of note from mere seventy million naira realised from organising seminars for the local governments in Nigeria during NYSC [National Youth Service Scheme] after his graduation from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife in Osun Sate, then the One hundred millionaire is a big ticket to serve as the springboard for lasting wealth heritage that will become global and be suitable for decades and generations. Yetunde had these thoughts and she wanted to make the next history in the hall of fame like her business mentors.
Yes, it a Monday, a day recognized traditional as the day of cash fortune making among the Yoruba's.
It is one of the special days to be managed properly. Being the first day of the week as well, Yetunde was ready to catch-up with time.
In some business circles, how your Monday is will determine the rest of the week in terms of results. However, the mother and business woman of substance understand vividly that Riches can disappear fast. The king's crown does not stay in his family forever. She made her mind to start watching her business interests closely; despite the busy schedules and volume of tasks involved.
A fool's compliment is as quickly gone as paper in fire!
Yetunde got to the sitting room with her bag and some documents.
''Good business resolutions are like babies crying in church. They should be carried out immediately''
She was about leaving the house for her business out located at Ring Road side of Ibadan. She was hale, happy and artful. She dressed elegantly. She looked fresh and gorgeous in appearance that morning.
Madam Yetunde, the CEO of Good Destiny Concepts Limited; was in blue guinea brocade blouse and wrapper with a flowery headgear to match. The day looked so special with her appearance. The outfit was one of her best business attires! She felt on the top of the world as a brand new multi-millionaire unannounced to the masses.
On sighting his wife, Segun brain got sparked. He almost wanted her for a fast fresh early rise romantic play like they did the other time.
Haba, Segun did not see the first day of the week for something more serious than making love with the woman. Segun would be taken for complete gentle man of mild manners who could hardly hurt a fly, and in whose mouth butter would not met. But when making love, he behaves like a horse that is never tired of the race.
To the business woman understanding, the Iroko tree that we should have jointly hewn at infancy has almost grown beyond containment.
Yetunde was amused. The agile woman had another serious new agenda already and the very damn thing must be done on time.
Regrettably! Can you imagine? The son of Ibadan billionaire who got it wrong on Monday morning! Yetunde instead appeared half-hearted to the silly demand from her unserious husband who failed to identify what next. Forgetting that time and tides waits for nobody in particular.
Both Segun and Yetunde could be regarded as husband and wife living together under the same roof. They are no longer operating at the same frequencies. They were at logger heads. Yetunde at that moment saw Segun as queer with antics. Their thoughts and feelings went apart already. Yetunde was only tolerating him all the while.
The deplorable situation could be likening to the story of a woman crying bitterly for not having assiduous husband; while the child is crying for not having food to eat at the same time. What a great contradiction!
Sometimes, Segun the father of Junior often reasoned like a street urchin when he ought to bring his education to bear on matters. The difference between Segun and Yetunde was getting wider and wider on daily basis. It was clear and glaring; but unnoticed by the blindfolded husband dwelling in the past and failed to face the reality of life fast and better.
''Well, hopefully he would readjust himself during his annual leave period anyway; and if not, it remains his sole-cup of tea to drink to maximum satisfaction'' Yetunde accessing her husband critically all inside her mind.
Obviously, Madam Yetunde meant business with the turn of events at present. She did not care to hoots nor prepared for any hazards ahead. After all, millions of naira has arrived for the Ekiti-woman; the only pain in the arse of love for her was Segun.
''Hold it Dear, I'II soon come back home to serve you better as usual'' Yetunde heck and told Segun as they departed with heart-to-heart romantic kiss.
Without any further delay, the pretty Yetunde left home to plan her new phrase of life leaving behind Segun and Junior to enjoy the rest of the day together.
Madam Yetunde got out of the ''The Innocent Villa'' a lavishly white house with distinction. She entered her well washed and polished gleaming black Toyota Highlander bullet-proof Jeep! All around her were radiating full joy satisfaction and happiness. Her state of mind was pleasantly full of goodies.
No doubt about that, Yetunde was extremely grateful to God that spared her life to taste and witness a new experience in life despite the poor background. It is God indeed that makes the poor to dine and reign with the kings. All glories to His Holy name!
Equally, she showered heartfelt deep prayers to her father-in-law and secret benefactor. The Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan, the father of the dark-skinned Segun!
'' So I could be this lucky in life as an orphan'' Yetunde confessed from the depth of her heart with tears of Joy rolling from the eyes.
''My prayers are answered without any preservation''
The rich wife boomed radiantly as she danced to the popular song:
''We are the World; we are the People!''
In the light of this glaring reality, Yetunde stepped into another ream of life starting from that Monday with One Hundred Millionaire Naira coolly settled inside her bank intact, sealed and reconfirmed! She saw the figures on her phone again and again.
The joy that occupied Yetunde's heart was without measure. She was highly delighted and strengthened in the new world.
She almost got herself mad of the excitements created. She was brain-storm how to butch it into varieties of versatile life time investments.
'' Your Business is what you do with your money. Money is good. Money is a blessing too! Money alleviates pains, sufferings and starvation. A lasting wealth requires a well planned investment. May your efforts to earn an abundance of it be crowned with success!'' Yetunde remained herself before stepping out of The Innocent Villa.
She makes her mind to give God the tenth percent of the whole amount. One of the strangest money making secrets that she read about inside the bestseller title: ''The Tenth Wealth ''written by Dr. Oyedotun Oyejide!
Indeed, this world is beautiful; Money can make life fine!
As the Jeep car about to leave the premises, Junior came out of the house to see her mother off with waves of hand:
''Bye..Bye?My Mummy!''
''Oh dear, I'II soon be back?have a nice day
Don't trouble your father?I will buy you snacks and ice cream!''
Yetunde responded to her son as she drove off in top speed to wrestle with the early Monday morning traffic-holdup.
She speeds off with the racing horse car happily. She headed towards Sango-Mokola road to by-pass the heavy traffic at the Oojo Express way end.
Now it was confirmed that when a woman is lucky enough to be married to a wealth family, fortunes will follow her on daily basis non-stop. The proofs are enormous for madam Yetunde to show.

The Sealed Secret
The dark complexion Segun, the father of Junior began his long over-due annual leave eventually. He stayed behind with the son who is also on holidays and just returned from the grandparent's house where he spent few days.
The mother, Yetunde have left for her business at Ring road.
Segun planned his leave that way for reasons. It will give him the ample chance of overseeing his son's welfare while sorting things out with the family. Also, he needed a rest because of the stress encountered in his place of work due to tedious tasks and busy schedules.
The father was not pleased with his personal life that looks disorganised. He desired a positive change of life style physically and spiritually.
In addition, Segun realised that age is no longer on his size again. The lasted birthday was April 4, this year when he clocked 45! The lad is over forty years already. A fool at forty is a fool forever! In order not to end up being a fool, Segun must do something reflective about his life.
The best time to make hay is while the sun shines. To avoid things getting too late, it became imperative to do something now. To have a significant headway in life, one needs to be serious with himself and mean business as much as possible.
Claiming to be the first of a billionaire is not too good status to hold unto in the present dispensation. And that he had a nice identity in the society as the offspring of a former Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is just living in the past.
Leaving in the past glory is not ideal for any right thinking child or a promising lad like big Segun...a Chartered Accountant! Really, nothing happens without an action enforced.
Segun was not the only son of the Ibadan billionaire. Although, from a well to do family in one love. Yet, he needs to venture for himself and stop depending on the heritage of father who made from business and politics.
All these were realized by Segun. He was ready to rejig himself towards a better future. And no significant achievement can be made in this unique world without making tangible efforts.
''Nothing happens without an action enforced''
''To be Something, Do Something''
''If you must do it, then Do it Right'' -Segun was motivating himself serious!
He was an ardent reader like is rich father who was deeply rich in books and politics. Those who are reader and wiser to apply it will also live a better life. The wealth of knowledge in books is too rare for a fool to discover! Information is power anywhere in this universe!
At this annual leave, Segun made up his mind to search for and design the blueprint to follow so as to have a sustainable development. To be candid, the simple and easy going father of Junior was very bent, factual and realistic. He wanted to stop hedonistic life by all means before the end of his annual leave of forty working days that started that Monday morning in harness.
In Ibadan where most of the families and relatives of Segun lived were tough times for many. There was so much gloom and doom that if one is not careful one will be swallowed up in the negativity of times. The chartered Accountant felt as a father and husband, he needs to be more responsible. A planned life is a well spent life.
Segun felt it was high time he took proper stock and review of his behaviours for a better prosperous bearing. He desired a shining life experience. The life of first-born in the family counts a lot. It must be tailored strategically. If not, it will be from good riddance to bad rubbish!
All these facts and plain truth were down on Segun as he searched through some documents while Junior was very busy watching a video.
'' Yes, a tree is only strong as its root'' was the motivational message he read on his phone from one of the popular pastors based in Ibadan that operates prayer program tagged: '' The Turning Point''
Segun planned attending the next retreat at the prayer mountain with his family. He felt the need for it fast and better. More so that it is not enough to have outward, physical, visible growth. The inner unseen, spiritual or structural growth is more factual and vital for any child of destiny.
If you don't have a firm grip of your spirituality, a lot of good things you are naturally entitled to may be far from you!
Segun realised that Samson of the holy bible, a lot of lack of inner depth cut him short. ''Root down, fruit up'' Only depth and deep devotion can sustain a man even in the midst of an ungodly political class! All these thoughts inspired and engaged Segun for a while.
In addition, the husband of Yetunde picked from his mini-library, some set of motivational books to read and digest!
In the main time, Segun began to flash back and began to meditate on some of the instructions and life lessons derived from his beloved and supporting father:
In life, according to notorious, versatile guru of Ibadan politics with great fame and prestige!
''Only God the most supreme is One'' and Him alone should be abhor and worship sincerely in life. However, outside of God the most magnificence, there is nothing good for a man to have and processed that should be one or single again. Those who have one thing in most cases end up suffering in life. It only in ''One with God '' that you can be the majority!
Therefore my son, if you must have a house, you should not build one but as many houses as possible.
Likewise, if you must engaged in business for financial success or breakthrough; have chains of businesses that will always make you to be relevant no matter what may happy to the economy of our nation. Do not depend on a product to sell no matter the boom for now. Develop and sell variety of products and services. It will make you wiser later in life no matter the pains of the moment. Streams of income only come from many sources!
Life is in variety. Those who make fortunes in the world have many things to claim. You cannot be called a Billionaire if what you have does not worth billionaire in value or number.
Really, you cannot be comfortable millionaire in the society if your income is not in seven digits. Do not depend on one source of income if you do not plan to suffer financially. Frustration is not far from such an experience. Imagine, a man with a job instantly becomes jobless if sacked from the employment. Several people are in agony of life today simply because of their failure to consider multiple or streams of income. If you are searching for how to be financially successful or attain financial success in life?do not bother yourself too much; just start having multiple businesses. Use the principles of duplication and leverage. It works like a fire outbreak in the dry season.
Read not one book but many books in your search for information on any matter of importance in life. You will do yourself proud in the process. It will equally make you a reference point for other citizens.
Image the Holy Bible having not one word or one chapter but 66 chapters or 66 books-in-one. Why? No wonder, the Bible remained the bestseller book in the universe.
A man with only a child must pray and beg God very well. If not, God forbids oh! It takes only a strike of the devil to turn the portion of a woman with only a child to become a childless mother.
May you not have a bad experience of life?
Strife hard all times. Do what you can do to relief yourself from the avoidable stress of this world. Yes, no life without a problem; no life is problem free in the actual sense of it. The rich too also cry sometimes!
But notwithstanding, you can reduce, abstain, or manage your problem. Do not be greedy!
Nothing good for your life that should be One but many!
Have many things including many friends as your asset. Do not fail to share out of your wealth. Only what is shared will not finish! If the stock market is stabled; consider the purchase of shares in bulk or large for a reasonable return. Stop working all the time if you desire a freedom life in the future, but make your money to work for you in so many areas of life.
If you will live longer and not live to suffer, have good and well trained bonfire children that will be yours to claim and not set of vagabonds who will turn against your at old age for fussy reasons. Take good care of your health; your health remains your wealth! If possible too, have some tastes of investments in the health sector. The reason for this is that later in life people's health would be costly to maintain due to the present life style that is without disciple as regards the eating and drinking habit of the majority in the society. Be simple and moderate in your performances. Shorn any act of trying to impressing anybody; you do not need it.
Invest heavily in real estates and agriculture no matter how attractive or otherwise it may be in the society at the moment. They will prove you to be wiser later in life. Properties in good locations and Agriculture are lasting investments that never go out of fashion in life no matter the trends. Come what may, housing and food will be a relevant trend.
To be relevant all the time, read, read and read, do not be tired of getting knowledge or information. Be a friend of the Holy Bible and other sacred books to be developed spiritually. There is power in prayers and moderate fasting! Do not over do anything, if not you will suffer for it. Yes, you will make some mistakes, pardon and forgive yourself so as to move forward.
Above all, fear God and love your fellows. Never harm anyone to climb the ladder of life no matter how. If you do, something terrible
Will await you as payback!
''In life, you cannot claim to be a man if you have not wrestled and won a battle''
''And if you wait for perfect conditions you will not get anything done in life''
These were a recapture of some of what Segun learnt from his generous father when growing up in life. He was now fully ready to consider every word for a better experience that cannot be faulted.
'' Am glad that my passionate father told me all these insights when I grew up?Really, my father is one of the best fathers to have and be celebrated''
Yes, Segun got it as he wanted from the messages of his father as recorded and preserved for long.
''Now, I must be a Man, am ready to wrestle and win ?Why I attend ''The Winners Chapel'' for!'' Segun woke up from his slumber and got set in full force to a better approach to life as from that moment for the better future as desired and destined to be.
And like the prodigal son, he was heart bent ready to adjust in all area of his life no matter the cost that will be involved. Segun was highly resolute and there will be no going back again.
It is the day that you sighted misfortune that you arrange for its burial.. Nobody spared a mess to spread.
The mosquitoes that you strife by all means possible to kill today will not bite you tomorrow, never!
By gone is by gone.
Segun from that moment began to feel and experience a sort of re-birth in his life and body. It appeared as if he was about to start life afresh on a clean page and new chapter entirely. The past is gone and forgotten. The masquerade usually flings his garment towards the back direction.
As if some veil were being removed or tore off. He came to his senses and pitied himself for waiting so long till now. He was however grateful that it was not too late before making the u-turn from wayward journey of the past. It is better to be late than being the late. The sun in the sky at this time can still get the wet cloth dried!
Avidly, on that notable fresh Monday; while he was engrossed in the meditations and positive reorientation of his noble life without any disturbance.
At a point, Junior suddenly called the attention of his father Segun to the video: ''The Rotten Pot of Love'' they were watching at the sitting room.
''Daddy?Daddy?!!! That scene looked exactly like what happened on Saturday at grandpa's house when my mummy came to pick me!''
Junior exclaimed as he jumped out of the sofa-chair he sat on with a prompt attention at the giant life-size plasma TV hanged against the wall.
To gist the story, He needed a serious concentration from the father. His shoulders heaved immediately!
''What was it? '' Segun inquired from the restless boy. He became attentive to what the son wanted to say.
''My Daddy, I'II tell you everything!''
Junior said further in a serious mood.
Segun, the father first hollered at him.
''O K, am listening'' Segun responded as he lowered the volume on the TV set. Thereafter, he agog and listen attentively to what the inquisitive boy called Junior was about to say. The boy is never strange to his father. They are close with each other intimately well. Segun thought Junior could be funny and unrealistic sometimes. He was a kind of son that can easily create a storm inside a glass cup playfully.
Like an action replayed, that was how Junior began to narrate vividly what happened when Yetunde, her mother came to pick him up on Saturday at the grandparents' house in Agbowo, Ibadan.
Kudos to a child of destiny with blessed with a sharp memory and brilliant display of inborn talents and ability.
Acuity Junior did not hold anything behind from what he witnessed. It was reported like a trained and professional journalist. To be candid, the accurateness of the report was faultless and hard to wave aside.
The agile boy described the incident with perfect demonstration precisely all the secret love conversations and the accomplishing actions that was infused when his mother was with Segun's father. Repeatedly, it was an unflattering commentary.
Inevitably, what was hidden in respect of the infidelity of Yetunde was blown off openly by the reports presented by Junior in few minutes. Heaven was about to be scattered and scraped off with razor shaving blade. The father of Junior had a changed countenance immediately. Things were no longer the same with him. The blood pressure began to rise.
''No sane person will hear the pronouncement of death sentence from a judge in the court of law and start dance!''
Report of infidelity is highly sensitive and should be handled with greater if the home will not be destroyed. No matter what it may be and how it may be viewed; nothing is strange again we just have to manage it if that is it became of a relationship. Some happenings cannot be interpreted ordinarily with a perfect judgement. May be that was the more reason while it was written in the Holy Bible: ''Do not Judge; so that you may not be judged!''
Meanwhile, the highly string Segun bubbled with life on the findings from Junior that created a friction and peak on the first day of the week. The mountain was set ablaze on Monday. What a wrong business transaction.
The amazed Segun at first did not count serious what Junior was saying. But a clever boy like Junior cannot be taken for granted at all. ''Even they say, out of any rumour there are elements of the truth'' No man can be so trusted with a lady during the raining season when everywhere was too cold for comfort. And no domestic gas to use for warning or get hot water to bath with. ''We are all thieves when the house is empty of occupants'' says a Yoruba adage.
Segun thought otherwise. There is no small child again!
''Do you mean what you are saying?''
Segun interrupted. He was down, dazzled and confused! He was so emphatic about it that he banged the floor along. He was annoyed even to himself instead.
'' Yes Daddy'' I saw and witnessed it?My Mummy can't denied it''
Segun found the story to be unbearable truth. He planned to revenge. When no bad news is brought to the ears, the mind can never turned sad in anyway.
''Good news gives life and glamour while bad news brings sadness and downcast.''
''Grandpa kissed my Mummy like this'' Junior brilliantly demonstrated it passionately!
And he said in haste:
''Dear, thanks you for The Sealed Secret?.You deserved a compensation''
In fact, both his explanations and demonstration was accurate and precise. It looked tight and so difficult to trash without further investigations. It was like watching other version that could be re-tagged: ''The Pot of Rotten Love'' instead of the actual title:
'The Rotten Pot of Love''
The change is fitted. Segun needed it that way maybe.
''Haaaa, haaaa!!!...Junior?Junior?'' ''Do you know what you are saying?''
''Are you alright? '' Segun was trying to confirm from Junior
From the boy, a bad news with an odour that was difficult to smell occupied the air and everywhere became uncomfortable.
The sharp boy called Junior, eavesdrop like a little bird that tell the king everything behind the scene.
What was report about Yetunde and Segun's father as told by Junior was not only amazing but amusing too! Segun became furiously uncomfortable at the narration of Junior that was without missing words. He could not contain himself again. It looked like a dream to the dark skinned man.
Mr. Segun the husband of Madam Yetunde was puzzled, bitter and disgusted about it. He looked like someone dropped by vehicle at unknown location. He turned around like a hair cutter's chair to no one in particular. The way it came to be was mysterious to Segun.
With hazy memories, Segun from that moment regretted all his dealings with Yetunde in life.
''Could it be a faulty foundation or what? ''
''But when the foundation are destroyed what else can the Righteous do Again?''
He was getting more irritated about his entire life that was about crumbling like egg furiously thrown against a hard rock by an angry, hungry mad man in the scorching sun.
Havoc was created by the naughty boy that became too hard for a charms or spell. Heavens have let loose eventually! There is fire on the mountain with the thunderous blare of exploring bombs.
The rain with terror is about to fall. It will drop-down brim stones instead of water. The love relationship between Segun and Yetunde got marred by irregularies arising from Junior's report to the father.
The atmosphere turned hot and hazardous. Segun was extremely perplexed by the encroachment of the trust for Yetunde. He punched his head several times like an insane person who just got mad afresh.
''This is terrible?Oh! My God!'' Segun shouted repeatedly.
He was no longer himself. He became greatly sad with heavy heart like someone mourning the demise of his beloved. He was disappointed and grieved seriously. The destructive blast is ripped to explode. A backlash waits!
''No wonder that Junior resembled my father so much'' Segun recounted and lamented further.
''Could it be proved beyond all doubts that my father pregnant Yetunde?'' The frustrated Segun began to ask himself unanswerable questions in his self probing investigation concerning the infidelity.
'' How?how?How? '' He turned furious again with the risen temper.
Segun burst into a sorrowful cry. It was cry of life for the forty-five years old chartered accountant. He was weeping instead of having a rest. He grunted like a pig and scowled at Junior with haunted eyes.
He was deep in the sorrow?crying aloud like a baby in the mid-night. He was very aggrieved and agonized. Nobody was around to console the dumped and cheated son of guru politician except like little boy named Junior. The boy pitied Segun as he falls down weeping seriously and rolling on the floor. Water has entered inside the shell of the giant snail from behind. With the anguished look on the face of Junior who did all could to stop his father from the agony.
The blast of mountain explored heavily.
Indeed, they have removed child from the back of mad-woman. Every mother must run for cover immediately
Undoubtedly, the tail of python has been stepped upon by a careless dog. Trouble must vomit!
10.
The Sealed Secret
''YOU can never tell a bad market day by the morning'' says the weather-beaten Igbo proverb!
Funny enough and unfortunately, at the evening time when Yetunde returned back home from her business. She was in high spirit without any premonition of what awaited her.
Unknown to her that her son Junior had let out the cat, the rats must run away fast. The uncharted boy blew the gaff completely with his inciting gibberish.
For the innocent wife, there was no place to hide.
Madam Yetunde entered her matrimonial home inside ''The innocent Villa''-a mansion built for them by the rich billionaire and her confided secret lover.
The atmosphere was tense and remorse. It was not friendly as expected. However, the aculeate woman assured lateness naturally triggers the hunger on that day which was unusual of her. Yetunde got home around 9.54pm in the evening which was odd and unusual of her. The good house wife was averted to night driving and reaching home late.
Really, she was still under some illusion that everything was normal inside the innocent villa that night.
''Sorry dear, some clients came when we were about to close shop that was why I sent the message to you through Whatsapp''
Yetunde was trying to justify the reason for her lateness. All the airs and graces did not touch Segun. The husband just nodded his head like agama lizard with deep breath. He looked wild and his heart beats rose rapidly! He did not utter a statement nor bother to read any phone message from Yetunde. He only frown his face totally. Yetunde expected Segun to make a response. Everything was just calm and cold.
Yetunde began to sense an awaiting trouble; she dropped her bag and move towards her husband saying:
'' Honey, let me go and shower first. You will eat and taste me tired!''
Yetunde lovely and softly expressed her apology to the husband to bury the hatchet.
Suddenly, Segun stood up in anger like a mad solider. He shouted on the top of his voice:
''l caught you today! Your hidden Secret has been exposed!'' He raised alarm.
Immediately, in a twinkling of an eye; he quickly rushed to jam the door and flung the key to a corner of the house. He drew out a sharp-cutlass from the back of the three-sitter chair. There was no way for Yetunde to unlatch the door again. It was locked already. The veil is torn off completely!
The sweet honey became spoiled and diluted with bitter leaves and watery gall! How smooth will it flows inside the mouth of the socked, innocent woman and the thirsty mother?
To the mother of Junior, it was like chewing with a sore tooth or trying to run on a broken foot!
Madam Yetunde was greatly shocked at the strange attitude and the pronouncement. The heebie-jeebies were untold and hefty! She was greatly astonished and perplexed.
Segun was very furious with harsh belligerent attitude.
''I kill you today; kill myself and this boy?unless you confessed the truth to me!''
''Now?now?!!! Who is the real father of Junior?''
The angered Segun became too dangerous to be confronted.
'' Is Junior my son or my father's child?'' The husband furiously asked with trembling sounds from a frustrated man.
The questions hung in the air. Segun, the beloved husband of Yetunde! Was greatly boiling, breathing heavily and sweating furiously.
The hassled Segun went wide, haywire and bulling like a seriously wounded lion inside the forest. He was desperately ready to butcher Yetunde. He was armed to finish the mother of Junior and ruined the family reputation because of the detected crime. Segun have never being so bullies before to that terrible extend in the past years.
However, as glaring as it was, the wife was caught napping immediately. She began aching and feverish. It was no longer a child's play to be handled with kid- gloves any longer. It became a grief matter to fester fast.
According to the counsel of Robert Greene, author of The 48 Laws of Power, that '' If one ember is left alight, no matter how dimly it smoulders, a fire will eventually break out''
The harried Yetunde was agape; apparently unsure of what to do next. She was reluctant to declare herself guilty! Also, the sensible woman was unwilling to make any pronouncement. She was not ready to unseal the sealed secret as promised. She endured to restrain from going full blast! But, is it possible to fight a war without casualties? But will Yetunde not be a victim of what Greene says in his publication:
''More is lost through stopping halfway than through total annihilation?''
Now which is better; to take the battle to the enemy's gate or to wait to be at the attacked by the enemy?
Yetunde sensed vividly that if the needful is not done without further delay; the consequences may be cataclysmic! Therefore, she must act decisively at the moment.
It is just like a cancer patient who is unwilling to face chemotherapy or surgery. It would get to a point that not only would he lose the part he is trying to protect; he would also lose the whole body as the cancer cells metastasise!
The fury of the king is like that of a roaring lion. It is usually very deadly or the hitherto highways to hell. The stall is broken; the horse must run away fast. When there is wide-fire inside the forest of terror, no lion stays inside the den parading to be the king of forest. God forbids bad thing!
At that moment, Segun have lost his senses and everything about him are scattered. He did everything in anger. Really, the father of Junior would battle anybody whenever he lost his hot temper like this. Therefore, Yetunde must cooperate and behave herself. If not, the frustrated man had blindly made up his mind to scatter and pour the salt inside sand. Who will be bold enough to prevent the mad bull-dog from barking? Yetunde was ill at ease at this stage inside the innocent villa that evening.
Only by confessing the truth of the matter without any preservation can save the unpleasant situation at the moment. Yetunde was about to vomit what she gulp already. She screamed for the danger insight.
Regrettably, Madam Yetunde regained her strength from the shock; and panicky rummaged through the body to explain what actually happened vividly between her and Segun's father before she got married. She apologizes profusely for her actions but stressed that she was innocently raped by Segun's father!
There was a build-up of exchange of words between the couples that night.
'' Are you sure that was the truth of the matter?'' Segun inquired! He was embittered. He was sad about his father's nefarious rape act! Yetunde in a shaky voice told exactly how it happened without her consent.
'' Yes my dear, it was your father?it was your father that raped me. I never planned it this way?You knew that I was a virgin before we met?!''
- Yetunde babbling with the confessions to Segun bulling! She was deeply soaked with a river tears; terribly sharking. She watched her husband carefully holding the hatchet with red-hot eyes. ''No matter how made a dog is, he will not take fire for any other objects in sight!'' says an adage.
Segun calm down. He stopped dragging the issue further.
'' It was not your fault really, but I need to confirm the true-father of this child before I bounce on my father'' He bluntly voice out.
Segun swoop down on Yetunde his wife.
'' Therefore, by tomorrow, we shall go for a DNA test and confirm the authenticity of the matter at stake''
- The husband pronounced as he left for the visitors room to sleep with Junior.. The rest few days were fraught with dangers.
In a decent society, nobody curses the king loudly and earn honour or big prestige in return as the dividend!...Never!!! Likewise, anyone that steps on the tail of a mad sleeping artesian dog has invited trouble.
An eagle have landed on the rope, things are no longer stable or ease for neither the bird nor the rope again. When things fall apart, the centre cannot hold any longer.
From that moment, Yetunde the beloved wife of Segun became too cold for comfort. Everything, everywhere inside the innocent villa became harsh and unpleasant for the able-wife.
Indeed, it appears as if the entire globe was against. The earth around appears speedily rotating and unstapled. The universe was like about to crash and scatter in the Atlantic Ocean. Her eyes were seen double with sparkling stars!
The past mistake was digging deep. The racing bike has lost control on top-speed towards the lagoon without a break to hold it back.
The hell prison walls have broken loose, the streams of hot fire from the lake was about to consume the universe into ashes. What a bombshell!
Yetunde have committed an abomination. The hidden atrocities have turned into an unpleasant episode and have exploded. What will be the saving grace to clean the mess of shame? Will Segun temper justice with mercy for goodness sake? Can the lad behave maturely as a husband by allowing love and forgiveness display their virtues' at this hour?
'' O My God! Oh My God!!!
''My Dear, Please! Please!!....Please!!!
Yetunde kept shouting and pleading repeatedly before Segun that have put on the red garment of bitterness and anger with the sharp-shining cutlass set to maracas his wife mercilessly like the Sharia marshal. There was nowhere to run to since the door was tightly locked.
Clearly, Yetunde ran into bad luck with the terrible, unpleasant reports of her son called Junior. He had created the unexpected troubles being faced by the mother.
Yes, no single wisdom can be relevant for life. A man never knows when she is going to run into bad luck. She was like a fish caught in a net or a bird caught in a snare. Now down on Yetunde that wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one rotten apple can spoil a barrelful.
Really, dead flies will cause even a bottle of perfume to stink! Yes, a small mistake can outweigh much wisdom and honour. Yetunde realised her mistake but it was almost too late to amend or adjust. When the roof leaks, the rafters begin to rot!
When the clouds are heavy, the rains come down. When a tree falls, whether south or north, the die is cast already, for there it lies.
Segun was almost deaf and dumb. Several thoughts ran through his mind that night. An adage says: ''When one is crying, the eyes are never blind'' The wailing of Junior cautioned the father for a while!
11.
The Sealed Secret
Segun was not happy. He was enraged and honestly vowed to recklessly deal with his wife over the blunder committed. He did not take the matter lying low at all. He did not want any word spoken by Junior to be wasted or lost.
Ideally, the heavens should have fallen, but the awaiting of DNA tests held the matter a little. Definitely, the DNA tests result exposure will make heads to roll.
What may be difficult to detected in darkness will be seen during the day-light eventually.
Like the speed of light, ten days after; they went to collect the result of the DNA tests done. It eventually proffered the solution to the problem on ground. But unfortunately, these are days of anomie when folly becomes bliss. One day the truth shall prevail!
Actually, the validly made interpretation of the DNA tests confirmed Junior to be the real biological son of Yetunde. However, Segun could not be traced to be the father but somebody else unidentified!
What a great astonishment! The gourd is innocently broken eventually with the palm wine inside gushing away.
To be candid, Yetunde became extremely too cold for comfort. The terrible findings created further frictions to the family. In fact, if the mother of Junior had her way earlier, she would have bribed the medical laboratory operators to tapper with the results of the DNA tests in her favour and trash out the result.
There is no results or investigations that cannot be tampered with in this country where money is been worshipped.
Wahoo! The DNA tests further unravel the sealed secret. Yetunde was adjudged guilty. She became perplexed.
''Where lies the honour again?'' Segun inquired!
The hidden secret that was sealed has been shamefully unsealed by the DNA tests conducted. With the boy Junior, Yetunde and Segun's father had conspired of robbing Peter to pay Paul! They had polluted a fountain or muddying a spring of life. They have perfectly rubbed salt on wounds. What a pain too painful to endure.
Segun became more grieved, furious, depressed and frustrated. In the fit of anger, he decided to visit his parents together with Yetunde and Junior to make a report immediately. Things were no longer ease for the couples. The uproar was getting out of hands.
When they got to the grand-parents house, the heartbroken Segun abhorred his wife, He reported the heinous crime committed. The grand-parents were frightened. Segun explained and exposed the heart trending scenario bitterly. He was as bold as a lion during the confrontation with his father on the rape report. The finger of accusation was pointed at Segun's father by his son!
Segun's father denied the allegation outright. He firmly declared that nothing of such occurred between him and Yetunde. He feigned ignorance. The mother of Junior did not utter a single statement during the hot conversations. She looked like a sheep about to be slaughtered. It was a wrong time to weep again. Yetunde looked morose like the Pharaoh's chef locked up in the prison with Joseph.
The grandpa made attempts to acquit himself from the accusation.
''No?.No?.No!!! He was emphatic.
Segun's father insisted boldly,
For the sake for peace to reign, grandma the mother of Segun waved into the matter. She appealed to the parties concerned to hold on until the following day. She informed the people involved to allow dialogue a chance. With better understanding, all issues can be resolved. What a woman, what a mother?
The arrangement was that Segun's father would also go for DNA test so as to eventually ratified the issue and allow the storm to settle.
They all agreed and departed without further argument or noise making. The rest days were full of deep sorrow, grief and restless with bitter nights for Yetunde.
When the garment of masquerade caught fire; soonest the face of the man inside will be exposed!
''Oran de'' Trouble have arrived!!!''
Even though, there is nothing strange again under the sun. Troubles have gathered momentum with the alleged accusation of infidelity with Yetunde by her husband.
The uninvited bulldozer began roaming and about to pull down strong holds. Who will intervene and stop the wicked machine from further damages? How can the abnormalities become normal and overlooked? Who will tackle the strange demon of destruction?
The brave billionaire was utterly confused and dejected beyond normal. He bothered to find a visible way of escape from the alleged shame and the likely consequence. He was not courageous enough to stand the shame of his dreadful mistake. The hurt could not be endured any step further.
The skull of an-aged old man is better than the face of shame without any cover cloth. Yes, instead for the earth to be declared dead; it will be found barren or futile!
There is no tight-corner or blockage for elephant from entering the swamp. The transition of an hero cannot be a mere passage without the rites. The ''Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan'' acted otherwise like a native citizen overnight.
A door will either open inside or outside. It is a matter of convenience or safety! Nothing goes for anything in life.
Drinking a hot water without a bit of caution will definitely bring terrible pain and disaster to the throat with the stomach not spared or escaped. Definitely, whatever affected the eyes negatively will have side effect on the nose. There is no escape route for the rat caught red-handed inside the roof of cat domino on a black Friday!
The hidden secrets have been blown open by Junior and no remedy at sight to cover up with. No hidden place for the billionaire on the matter. The defence is weak and does not hold water. The DNA test proposed to be done the following day does no guaranty any palatable results. It will only worsen the matter as seemed and calculated by Segun's father that evening before he left for his bed-room lonely. He was confused, frustrated and badly dejected.
The dice is cast. The harm can't be prevented any longer! The knife has cut-off the fingers of the baby already; throwing away the knife does not make any sense again!
The dance of shame does not have collective dancers this time around. Life is made to be that way. Each person would face his fate in life. Your cross, whether heavy or light would be carried by you alone when the time for such ordeal arise.
Only Jesus Christ; the lord and saviour of humanity, had a helper who gave helping hands in carrying the Cross of salvation when He was on the Way to Calvary
The guru-politician was left to dance to the unpleasant tune of The Sealed Secret that was unsealed and exposed openly. The sky is darker without white linens. For how long will it tarry?
The appeared images on the standing mirror looked rough and rugged! Something needful should be done without further delay. If not, the aftermath will be too terrible to bear.
For a blame to have dignity; it must be put on scanty individuals and not everyone. All cannot be found guilty of a single offence that was committed out of volition by the billionaire politician!
Segun was seriously sad and unhappy with his father for the disheartening story he heard. It was unfair, criminal and bestial for his father having secret love affairs with Yetunde.
The woman and mother of Junior got confused further for days by the tough games of lawful identification she was playing with Segun. She resumes participation on daily basis until the game was over by the blow of whistle and the red-card displayed.
A beggar may not have a choice; but we can give the beggar a chance!
The following morning, anguished Segun came to carry his political father for DNA tests. The story changed. The man was found completely stone dead inside his bed room without any notice or message behind. What a ruse! The eagle had gone to the rocky mountain top to shed its feathers earlier than the time.
The flying clothes hanged outside must not be allowed to be blown off by the wide-wind. If not, it will be out of reach again! The smiles and the laughter have seized, there is no time to open the 32 white teeth again.
The aunt has carried a heavy load that weighted it down to a stand-still already. The person that greedily swallowed mortal with stones will not have a peaceful rest throughout the night. That's the more reason why the monkey needs to be extremely careful not to climb the rotten and rusted tree anyhow!
The needle will be too small for the Ostrich to hide away from the mad-hungry and wounded lion in desperate search for a prey to devour.
When the shepherd is attacked unprepared, the flock will scattered in different directions eventually. Segun, Yetunde and the billionaire grandfather of the boy called Junior are all in troubles. The dimension may not be the same anyway!
Yes, with the sudden death of Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan in his sleep and discovered in the early morning of that day. The great eagle has flown away; nobody can sight clearly the big bird again, only the feathers are visible from far distance!
Really, the brave billionaire of Ibadan could no longer be bold enough to stand and dance to shame of his grief mistake.
That was the end of the fizzy. Nowhere to go further again; to fight the injustice. Who will provide the candidate due for DNA tests now?
The future became peak, hacked, ruined and scattered as a result of the eyesore.
Due to the dwindling love, the golden ring of engagement on Madam Yetunde's left hand finger got stained and broken. It became too tight to be fixed again. The heartbroken Segun had already removed the patriot icing ring and flung it out of the window into a far distance inside the muddy bush behind the innocent villa.
Really, with the anguished Segun; the silver cord of love snaps and the golden bowl is broken with the pitcher at the foundation. The innocent inside the villa was found guilty of an error. The wheel of intimacy got broken at the cistern.
What went wrong cannot be righted. It is water over the dam or chasing the wind! What will be the right solution to the plight of anguished Segun?
Surely, Segun's father made absurd mistake that was an indication of political rascality and irresponsibility. Truly, the shifted blames was not for innocent Yetunde to suffer for alone.
The binding love between the two couples got deflated and faded out like the balloon punched with a fury blow. The initial intimacy and hot loved accord got broken and too cold for comfort like the wet nose of the dog. It was like the jacket stolen in cold weather!
Indeed, ''Omoye'' had entered the public market completely naked and furious; no cover cloth can cover the shame any longer!!!'' says an adage.
The city of love with the headquarter base inside the innocent villa have turned a Babel arena for blames and shame! The inhabitants are detected and rejected. The pride of yester-years suddenly turned to chronic pains of the moment with regrets and curses!
The songs are no longer pleasant in the ears to be listening to by gainful lover on the stage. The next scene must quickly be presented if not the odd odour can break the stomach.
The vehicle of love chartered to carry both Segun and Yetunde suddenly had terrible accident on top speed. Hope the wreck will not claim lives? Is the boy Junior that seated at the back of the car safe and unharmed?
The mindless bleeding heart is set blazed with hot fire. Hope the rain water about to fall would be enough to quench it?
When the egg is not handled properly-well, there would be no remedy if found dropped against sharp-stone on the path being truckled by the careless intruders who are not mindful.
The citizens have been packed out of the houses forcefully when it was raining heavily outside with floods everywhere. Mercy and favour have definitely run to the mountain top to hide without any notification.
The frustrated Segun was highly grieved and resulted to fate. He was hell bent and furious. With no mercy or compromise, he took a drastic decision by packing every of Yetundes' belonging out of the innocent villa together with Junior her controversial son. All the attempts and actions were to put the situation in proper perspective.
Undoubtedly, Yetunde was made to pay for her sins likewise Segun's father.
Since Yetunde was not innocent again! Therefore, He bundle them all to his fathers' residence because of the atrocity committed.
The harm has been done: Is cutting the head best solution to headache in life?
Will the opposition's tears be variously pooh-poohed as crocs?
However, the anguished mother and no nonsense grandma did not accept the mess at all by barring his fangs against the wife. Yetunde and her son were not welcome into the premises.
She kicked them out forcefully. The aged woman lambasted the wife of Segun with annoying curses. The broom of justice by grandma started sweeping vigorously. The triggers were terrible and deadly. Yetunde gibbers became a subject of laughing stock, mockery and ridicule.
She was barred because of the incident. She has been suspended from the innocent villa any rectification or second chance. The burden and troubles became too morose to bear for the weaker vessel woman and mother of Junior. No more excitement. The atmosphere was tense without any affection or compromise.
The tough woman grandma closed the iron-gates against estranged Yetunde and her only son on that dark day. She threw them out furiously from the premises littering heavy curses of agony in form of disgrace.
There is time for everything. When the fried beans-cake is fresh and hot; the seller will largely announced for patronage confidently with a pleasant voice. Even the buyers would be attracted by the scent or aroma of the bean-cakes! But when the bean-cakes turned cold like the nose of dog hardly will anybody be interested in the pick-up bean cake snacks for curtail or dinner any longer.
Yetunde's time appeared ran-out with the sealed secret saga and the pushed off from the innocent villa by her beloved husband due to the aroused controversy of the real father of Junior who sparked the crises with his troubled secret report to Segun.
Also, with the demise of Segun's father whom left the world suddenly without any notice; coupled with the hostile attitudes been displayed by the mother-in-law and grandma. They have dis-owned Junior and his mother outright. Who will then defend and claim for the innocent boy his birthrights and privileges?
No child without a father; only the identity may not be well defined immediately
With enough patience, the eyes will sight the nose clearly. The odd behaviour of a vagabond-child would differentiate him from among the peers.
Only God will be in the best position to adjudge rightly the man that decided to divide the roasted meat for others using the inner teeth of the mouth instead of the sharp knife made available.
We have all mastered the tricks to putting a tasty meat inside the mouth and declared it missing instantly. There is no magic in such a pact again. A hungry person may not be interested or ready to hear anything else again.
Whenever the devil decided to have a small child; No demon would stop him at all. But such a child will never bear good name thereafter. That is double sure.
At the same time, no wrestle or fight can give birth to any innocent child?.if not a club; it will be a sword or big blow!
Nobody will force a man to remove his clothes when a spark of fire got inside it by mistake, sloppiness, carelessness or sheer incompetence! It would be a sudden dance like afresh mad man about to enter the public-market inside the scorching sun.
The huge heritage of Segun's father worth billions should not be shared among the few. The innocent child called Junior should not be deprived from having a portion no matter how small or otherwise it maybe.
The Blood should be thicker than water! But Yetunde and her son are in the minority; so they were cowered out of the innocent villa like a stranger.
Meanwhile, hopefully, the dead billionaire's written will would indicate when ready! Injustice to one should be injustice to all!
Unfortunately, that was how Yetunde got out of the wed-lock without alimony. However, she became single mother with multi- million Naira inside her bank account for spending!
Aftermath, she faced the peril of dishonesty and payback. The grief and pain became too difficult to banish.
''The racing horse entered a gallop; gall-stones are offered as meal for the riders''
The most unfortunate aspect of this matter was not palatable for the breakaway woman any longer. All efforts by Yetunde to get married again failed woefully. She could no longer experience any stable or lasting relationship as desired with any man again.
What a pain in vain! Where is the outlet from the frustrated closet?
The last man Yetunde met only moved with her for mere four months before they departed in the midst of very serious ranked punching like that of Tyson!
What will be the atonement for the removal of the curses inflicted?
Who shall be held responsible for all the blames?
Can the spell be erased again?

The Sealed Secret
Yetunde was born 48years ago. A first-class university graduate. Her father, a professionally trained grade two- teacher died seven years after she was born at Ikire town in Osun State of Nigeria.
Yetunde was an easy going lady thirsty to make airing success of her life. She was very innocent. As a determined citizen, Yetunde was head strong to become an educated person who can be well trusted.
Left with a single mother that catered for her welfare and good ruptured throughout the secondary school that she attended as a promising daughter. She naturally had raw tongue and an attractive feminine physique. She grew up to be loving, brave, diligent, amiable, elegant, dependable and intelligent and of good breeding among her peers.
Unfortunately, the mother of Yetunde had a terrible motor accident that claimed her life at a prime age like the husband. The sad event occurred when the mother was returning from one of her business trips.
The public transport bus she travelled with had an accident at Asejire town near Ibadan city a few days to the end of the year. A tanker vehicle loaded with engine oil tumbled making oil split over-flowed and spread on the road. As a result, everywhere was very slippery for motors.
Suddenly, the bus where Yetunde's mother was inside ran into the slippery spot unknowingly, the driver failed to be courteous, swap and hit a parked trailer by the road side on top speed.
Instantly, six people out of the sixteen passengers inside the bus died on the spot without any remedy. The rest were severally injured and taken to University Teaching Hospital [UCH] for treatments. The mother of Yetunde was one of the victims that died in the unfortunate accident.
The untimely dead of the woman was a terrible loss that created a great vacuum in the community and the trade associations where Yetunde's mother was an active frontline member and activist.
It was pathetic. The family of Yetunde were in deep sorrow and mourning for their departed soul during the Christmas and New Year!
Yetunde became an orphan. However, she was not deserted nor lack maternal care in life. Honestly, children who are deprived of love and parental care grow up to become maladjusted adults in the society. Yetunde was taken over by her mother's immediate junior sister as the guardian.
An Ibadan based bulk food vendor at Bodija Market. The woman arose and took the responsibility of Yetunde's schooling and welfare until she got married.
Nothing can stop the lion from roaming the forest at anytime. Yetunde was able to continue her life journey of destiny pleasantly.
Really, it may take a longer time, the stammered will pronounce ''father!'' No matter the delay, sun will rise at the break of the day. Nobody can change the destiny; they can only hold the hands of clock.
Meanwhile, the families of her father were supportive as well. The godly Yetunde was never forsaken or abandoned. She equally enjoyed some foundling. Yetunde kept flashing back at the final word told by her mother before she died:
''Chastity does not belong to the past. It saves you a lot of trouble; preserves your beautiful destiny and stands you out from the crowd. You are better off not engaging in pre-marital and extra-marital sex. Stay chaste!''
Equally, the spirit of her mother was following her in life. Along the line, Yetunde got admission into one of the famous universities in Kwara state. She was very brilliant and highly determined to have headway educationally. She aimed and aspires to earn first-class degree at the end of her studies. She faced her studies squarely as a well behaved single in the society with culture and native wisdom.
Yetunde used to spend the holidays with her mother's sister in Ibadan and the family of her late father at Ikole-Ekiti interchangeably. She usually enjoyed her stay as a favoured girl all the time. She was a highly cherished girl both at home or in the school. People usually show her deeper- love and affections anywhere she finds herself in the society!
Meanwhile, there was a young man known as Segun, the bonfire son of the landlord where they lived at Agbowo area not far from the premier university of Ibadan.
Segun was tanned and handsome to taste with wavy, raven hair. His eyes are live doves beside the water brooks, deep and quiet. His reflection of a well-fed breed from a well to do family reflected on the body structure. His checks are like sweaty scented beds of spices. Segun's mouth is sweet, loveable in every way.
The young boy Segun was promising lad of the former Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He was a prominent man in the society. He was a rich politician of note. Segun was interested in Yetunde, an angel in human skin. He admires her too much and desperately ready to offer anything in exchange. He showed love to her through many contacts.
The strong need for Segun to have Yetunde as lover began from the day they met at the gate entrance. Segun could not believe what he saw when they gazed each other. It was like everything in the world stood still as her alluring look was breathtaking. He took Yetunde for an angel in human skin when she splashed him with sparking smiles that sent Segun to the world of hallucination just like a movie about Nick Canon. He had strong intuition that they both have combined missions to fulfil in the journey of life.
Since that very day, thoughts of Yetunde kept lingering in his mind daily to the extent that he cannot think of anybody else except her. Nothing interests him any longer. In fact, nothing seems to matter to him again. He was desperate in need of the Ekiti girl.
It is usually a painful experience for a man to have love and affection for someone who never thought of you or look at your direction for a second. He who wears a shoe knows where it pinches!
If there was anything in the universe cherished by Segun. It is Yetunde.
The advances were aborted outright. Yetunde felt was not yet period for love making and all those stuffs. Also, she considered it to be odd for her to get engaged with a man that lived in the same house where her relative was living to a long time as tenant.
Caution is required for the monkey trying to climb a rotten tree! Yetunde refused bluntly all the demands of Segun. She avoids him thereafter. Segun remained undaunted. He loved Yetunde so much and desperately wanted to have her by all mean possible. With the heart of stone, Segun conceptualized how to trap the lady.
The desire for the girl was the sole trouble in the life of Segun at that time. It was the dilemma father Makalu of the Catholic Church in those days. Segun thought of what to do that would endear her to him and then an idea struck his mind.
Surprisingly, Yetunde came home for the holidays as usual. At mid-night, her handset phone rang. It was the adamant lover boy Segun again lamenting and explaining bitterly how he murdered sleep because of his affections and deeper uncompromised love for Yetunde.
At the climax of the conversation, he confessed his readiness to commit suicide that night if Yetunde should refused to accept his love desire for her as girl friend. What an amazing statement!
''Abba! Don't do that?Are you that so serious and desperate about me?''
Yetunde answered during the phone conversation; she gave it a second thought and implored Segun to hold on till daybreak for ratification. She consented to meet him for one on one deliberation.
''Never mind, when is dawn we shall discussed better?Dear!'' Yetunde assured Segun who endured it.
Really, Yetunde was vivacious and blessed with tempting curves with uncommon good looks. Like a good finished product, which everyone loves to pick in the midst of scrambles.
Yetunde was superbly created among the ladies living in Ibadan at that time! Men and boys usually gave her a second look when she was passing by along the street of Agbowo. They wanted to confirm if she was a human being or a spirit-being.
Finally, on the following day, Yetunde was invited by the son of ace-politician as a special guest to his father's luxurious apartment. There was a separate self contained room for Segun within the duplex.
The building design was one of the best ever in the entire community. The finishing and facilities available were lavishly installed everywhere possible. They parents have abundant blessings. They were superbly rich.
Both Segun and Yetunde had ample chance for lengthy discussions. The parents have left for business. The room for proper heart-to-heart deliberations was freely created and nothing to hide or shy about. The day was a good opportunity for him to start something with Yetunde.
Frankly speaking, fragrant Segun was anxious and highly excited to get hooked with an angel in human skin who could be given the tagged as the paragon of beauty among the blacks. Aside her impeccable beauty, one other feature that sent the heart painting was her well-carved hips. No normal man would get the eyes off, most especially when she swung them.
Segun had heavy feelings for Yetunde that he could not wait any longer. He became so uneasy. His heart skipped whenever he saw Yetunde or heard her sonorous voice.
He was happy that God answered his prayers. Equally, Segun was glad to have the desire of his mind fulfilled at last. Getting hooked to Yetunde appeared to be a divine arrangement that was difficult to understand ordinarily. He welcomes his love with a promise of good times together.
Segun confessed this to Yetunde:
''There is something strange about you that I am yet to find answers to. I have met countless ladies in my romantic expedition, but I have never met one that touched my heart the way you did''
However, the young lad needed wisdom to handle the task before him. He reminded himself what he read about wisdom:
''Right from old, wisdom is better is better than darkness. To be rich is far better than poverty. The wise man sees, while the fool is blind''
Yetunde was a green horn in relationship matters. Segun was gentle as dove but clever as a serpent; full of guile and highly evasive.
The game started in harness. On that remarkable day, the adorable Yetunde wore a tight fitting t-shirt and shorts which exaggerated her busts and the rumps that allured Segun so much.
In life, no one under the close watch of traitor is ever difficult to trap. The heart - throb Segun was ardent and very delighted to see a hatched plan unfolding like a video show.
As a boy hungry for love making most especially in search of a ripped apple, lot of thoughts went across the mind of Segun inside the apartment with his prey Yetunde. For the girl to have voluntarily came for a visit made the task half solved.
Before yam could be eaten as pounded-yam; it was pounded well inside mortal with heavy pestle several times. Likewise, to be in relationship with surf like Yetunde, a lot of virtues must be well displayed.
Segun was not sort of anything needed to make the best of the game at stake. Everything went in his favour as ordained by destiny. He did all a lad could do to convinced Yetunde of being the right choice that perfectly matches the journey of romantic relationship.
Yetunde had a heart of gold. From her closed assessment, Segun could be a nice life partner and a man of her dreams as well. After a vigorous and very lengthy exchange of sweet expressions, Yetunde scudded to Segun's request of love partnership.
The bride- to- be bowed for her man in fresh love. They happily embraced each other affectionately. Segun was very happy that his persistent effort in winning the heart of Yetunde was not futile but worked out positively well. His breadth was greatly relieved! That was how the young son of Ibadan Billionaire won the love of an angel; the paragon of beauty! His joy knew no bounds as the affection for each other waxed stronger by the day.
In other not to follow the path of folly, The god-hearted daughter who trusted the creator to a greater extend with a bit of the gospel of Jesus Christ ensured that both of them prayed for God's guide and support in the relationship launched. They both agreed to visit the pastor of the church where Yetunde was attending the following Sunday for prayers and additional spiritual rites that came make their marital life journey smooth and hitch free.
The glamour Yetunde was lavishly entertained by the son of billionaire politician as an august visitor of note. She took home several parting gifts and take-away was well packaged for the lady of class with choice. She was buttered! A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Nothing is too big to share with one's love under the sun. A miser can never sustain rubies in life.
All to prove the seriousness of her new life partner called Segun, a brand new lover boy and helpmate without any rival. In fact, Yetunde was about to taste the goodies of a super wealthy family ever! They both were about inaugurating a great journey of love and relationship.
A man that is so cruel to women will not be able to live with one
History was retold with stories and expression by the two partners to confirm the sealed of love and sincerity involved between them as from that moment.
However, when the Monkey sights a banana, hell will lose eventually. Definitely, the Dog that pay visit to the house of Tiger will have a cogent report to make at the end of the event. Nothing goes for anything in this world again.
Those in politics usually say that their involvement is not for God- sake; but because of what they will eat and gain. Only God will judge the man trying to divide meat for others inside the mouth with teeth! God remain the best judge.
The road was cleared for Segun that day. There was no hindrance or disturbance. Like a child playing with a child, Segun was able to taste Yetunde on that very day after the merry making.
Yetunde was a fresh flower but was deflowered by Segun. That was how the pretty beauty lost her virgin unplanned. It was painful but she endured it.
On that memorable day, Yetunde implored her boy friend to seal her love in his heart forever. And before they departed, Yetunde lovely told Segun:
''My Dear, Seal me in your heart with permanent betrothal, for love is strong as death and jealousy is as cruel as shoed. If flashes fire, they very flame of Jehovah. Many waters cannot quench the flame of love; neither can the floods drown it. If a man tired to buy it with everything he owned; he couldn't do it!''
As a result, Yetunde vowed that only the man she will marry would taste her sweet honey in life. That was the beginning and climax of the visitation that almost turned to be a ticket for regrets.
Segun appreciated his brand new love with these confessed words:
'' There are many fine women in the world, but you are the best of them all''
''You have ravished my heart?I overcome by a glance of your eyes''
In further response, the heart-awakened Segun, on good notes consented and promised to comply faithfully without any compromise. He even read this short poem to her new love:
DEAREST GIRL
Hide your bright eyes
From bitter cries
Wooing you so sly
As bait of lie
To plunge and drown,
that sweet fee l down.
Close your ear gate
To that mourn state
Wearing words sweet
Of sensuous heat
To savour that feel
'burning' to kill.
Guard hard your heart
Against fires that start
So fondest melt
Of pleasure spelt
As deep regret
For being so wet.
Your womanhood,
A pride so good,
Just for that one;
Not anyone;
Keep it dear girl,
Protect it well.
In spreading the love with Yetunde; The Song '' Forever Sweet'' tone by Dotti was downloaded on her phone. It was the most wonderful day ever. The heat of their love started burning hot and hot everyday! The devoted love affairs and affections between Segun and Yetunde started on nice notes; and unique in every dimension!
Thereafter, Yetunde had a severe abdomen pain due to the sexual intercourse.
In life, one of the things a woman cannot easily forget is the person that dis-flower her virginity; therefore, it will be difficult for Yetunde to forget forever in a moment what Segun did with her. The performance made Segun to be the first man to visit her natural inner room after several years of closed entrance.
Segun was the happiest man on earth on that day with Yetunde. And ever since the moment, thoughts of the lady occupied his mind on daily basis forever. It was a mission fulfilled and well accomplished. The two slated destiny helper meet and got bonded at last. Who and what will be strong enough to separate then again. None was imagined! However, one may not know how a fight will end, but the spark of it will be boldly identified.
The new chapter in destiny was opened on fresh notes. Yetunde became well acquainted with Segun the lad of a popular politician based in the ancient city of Ibadan capital. Nobody suspected any foul play.
In one of the text messages sent to Yetunde by Segun reads:
'' Sweet is your love, my darling bride; the perfume of your love is more fragrant than all the richest spices. Your lips are made of honey and cream. The scent of your garments is like the scent of the mountains and cedar of Lebanon''
Love is fragile; therefore, the two promising lovers must ensure the genuine stability without any heatstroke;
''A woman that got married to millionaire's son would be well fortunate to share an inherited fortunes'' says an adage.
Yes, we are all born, but our fingers are not equal.

The Sealed Secret
The heart spring love affairs between Segun and Yetunde was growing daily and waxing stronger and stronger every moment. They became good friends and as you know one thing led to the other. Segun felt the way he never felt before as she showered him with love beyond imagination.
Yetunde was his precious gems and a lovely dove for years. They were fond of each other as a companion. The affection they have for each other waxed stronger by the day. Yetunde was nice, caring and above all lovely.
They always wanted to be sighting each other nearly every second. When love is fresh and undiluted, it is usually in that dimension. There meeting was neither a mistake nor accident but the handwork of destiny. They have undying love for each other.
Beloved Yetunde was a banquet of flowers in the garden of Engedi. A very beautiful girl with eyes that is soft as dove. Like the rose of Sharon; the lily of valleys.
The old aged woman was also a pretty girl those days. Hardly was there a day that they will not communicate or have a chart through the social media. Segun was jealously guiding his pet angel.
Segun was love drunk for Yetunde with the white teeth like sheep's wool newly shorn and washed; perfectly matched without one missing. With breasts like twin fawns of gazelle feeding among the lilies; What a lovely filly; Yetunde's lovely cheeks, stately neck upon long strings of jewels with a sharply pointed nose. A rarest of beautiful women with tripping feet and waist like a heap of wheat set about with lilies.
Both Yetunde and Segun were like Romeo and Juliet. The bonding love was strange and rare. Segun tasted Yetunde twice before she left for her campus. There was nothing to blame the lad for. He was inside the stream already. Yetunde became Segun's darling, precious, glorious, dignified and heavenly celebrated!
Really, every good game can be replayed. In life, no man is ever tired of listening to an interesting music. A good song is often repeated. A sweet orange can be eaten many times non -stop if available. In fact, a nice and delicious soup can never turn sour without reasons. A vehicle slated destination should be reached unless there is an issue on the way.
'' The robust pig will get to Ijebu for slaughter, only the harrowing noise will be greater'' says a Yoruba adage!
Due to the perfect cordial relationship between Yetunde and Segun, the young millionaire, it gave the pretty girl free and frequent access to Segun's apartment without any hindrance or rescission from the parents.
Also, Yetunde was appealing and attractive with radiant of goodness. She has the charms of acceptance anywhere she found herself right from the demise of her mother.
Having pitched her tent with Segun, the parents never suspected any anything hidden between the two of them. They were both age mates and social. The environment was a friendly one. Unlike other rich individuals in our society, the parents of Segun are highly accommodating and lovely in relationship with people. They are never money-drunk or hostile. They took life simple and easy-going.
One day, it was about to rain heavily. Segun had left home with his aged-mother for an occasion. However, the father was inside the flat enjoying. At the palatial compound with luxury cars and other expensive facilities. They had some washed clothes outside spread at the open space to get dried by the sun before evening. To prevent the costly garments and fabrics from rain that threatens to fall because it was storming already.
The wealthy and highly comfortable man of substance with titles and honour as former Minister of Finance of the Federation beckon at pretty Yetunde to assist him collect the spread cloths outside on the rally.
The ebony black girl did as demanded from the elder statesman. The lure and lucre trapped her unknowingly. In life, only God can make one to escape the trap of enemy. You cannot be wiser than the traitor. It is terrible. There was a plot against Yetunde!
The nose is never sensitive enough to sense the tricks of a wicked person in the society. But there is God who is greater than all of us.
Our world is a pleasant place of amazing wonders and experiences. So many odd things are being committed under the sun most especially in our country with faceless characters.
How easy can the elephant escape the prepared pity covered with golden mat with a big stand on it to seat upon as the king to be?
Yetunde did as instructed as a girl with the hearts of flesh. When she courteously brought all the collected clothes inside the house as assigned; she met the elderly man eating roasted chicken with assorted wines and packed juices in his front like a bouquet. He drank a good glass of wine along. The house of a politician is usually a merry making avenue all the time in our society.
Yetunde was warmly received appreciated by Segun's father for the kind gesture. He further implored her to join him in the dinning. But Yetunde out rightly rejected the free invitation to taste a super free buffet offered her by the billionaire.
''Don't worry Sir. I'm ok for now!'' Big thanks, it's a pleasure!
Yetunde replied with a pent-up smile without blinking an eye. As highly trained and cultured girl from a good home.
Thereafter, the generous man gave Yetunde one of the highly expensive alcohol bottled-juice as trick without rigours. Obviously, she did not understand the implication.
Ultimately, Yetunde was highly amazed at the dash, but never suspected any foul-play at all. She was beguiled by the politician.
Yetunde left the house with a sense of gratitude. When Yetunde got to her room to have a short rest as it was about to rain. Before sleeping, she drank the tasty juice given her and effortlessly slept off almost immediately. The sleep was deep and sound.
After some few minutes, Segun's father took undue advantage of the girl. He disguised and secretly traced the lady.
Nevertheless, the billionaire politician who failed to guard his affections; went inside the unlocked room where pretty Yetunde was forcefully and unlawfully defiled by eaten the Adams-apple of the innocent girl without permission.
What havoc! Both the father and the son are about eaten inside the same pot of soup unknowingly. A Big Rot in the Pot! What a great blunder!
Could it be an error of omission?
Gosh! What a great havoc committed by Segun's father: an elder states-man; the rape of innocent lady in broad day-light robbery!
The incarnate lust of flesh got the Ibadan based politician giant drunk without gauge. He began trekking on broken bottles with bare foots.
The gushing of red blood thereafter will be thicker than water
Inevitably!
It is a matter of time for the man carrying an umbrella to realise it is heavy burden, when the rain stopped.
So many things are happening these days in the society without any news coverage for the public announcement. Today, several streams have passed under the bridge unnoticed. Life is like a season's film; it is usually in series.
Anyway, when the conscience of a man gets polluted, no acts or behaviour would be seen as been silly or foolish again. Instead, gall will turned to salt for the mid-night dinner. Only the blind ghosts will be guest of honour in such a banquet.
How come the father and son to be dating the same innocent girl at the same time under the same roof? Will it be smooth and hitch free at the end of the day? How easy is for two big rams to drink water in the same pot at the same time?
A further investigation needs to take place to detect the final outcome of Segun's father ordeal with Yetunde alone inside the inner room unnoticed by anybody. Will it be palatable?
Meanwhile, the grip of Segun's father on Yetunde could be likening to a hungry cat that caught a small rat late at night. It was long he had a fresh taste of that kind in an aromatic affairs when it was raining outside simultaneously. The fantasy was just beyond imagination or description.
The billionaire aged man lies on Yetunde enchanted by the fragrance of her perfumes with a sachet of myrrh lying between her lovely, pleasant breasts. All these added glamour to the taste so enjoyed!
Until it lasted; the girl was dead sleep while the agile politician was roaming the inner hole of Yetunde with busy hair on top. Thrusting and jerking every corner like turning the steering of a jalopy car. There was no disturbance or intruders to stop or soil the strange love making.
The politician did not spare the cheap angel in any way. He held firmly and sucked seriously the two ripped oranges at her chest, but no juice to drink. It was too dry for the desired comfort.
It was a hasty but super love making with the innocent Yetunde. The taste and experience was too rare and unusual.
While the game was getting to the climax, Segun's father greedily finished with her. It was utterly ridiculous.
However, Yetunde woke up in the process. She saw him vividly on her top. She also felt the tight deep penetration with the hot release inside her body.
''Abba!...Daddy?Daddy!!! What is this?''
''Why have you done this with me?.?'
''You've finished me! '' Yetunde lamented bitterly. She was dazed!
Yetunde was very sad and sober uncontrollably. She began to shed bitter tears of sorrow with regrets. She was in deep depression.
Segun's father implored her deeply to keep quiet and stop crying. He consoled her maturely. He assured her safety and nothing to fear or get worried for because of the rape.
He promised her so many things that could convince the heart of an angel that have committed an error already. This was absurd, a hallow mockery, and a serious fault.
The power with money is almost unlimited sometimes. Even an angel may not be able to resist the temptation of bribe of huge cash.
The politician did not hide his feelings for Yetunde since the day she was sighted at the corridor of his apartment long time ago. The powerful landlord promised her as a lady with great virtues. He assured Yetunde of proper care and sincere support that will never fail henceforth.
But, what kind of friendly game is the dog playing with tiger?
However, he instructed her to keep the deal a complete secret between both of them and that it must not be shared with anyone. If she does, anything terrible can be the result or outcome. The secret was sealed like a covenant. He warned the innocent girl to behave as instructed; trying to do otherwise will definitely lead to immeasurable disaster and frustration. Therefore, she kept everything in her mind.
Thereafter, the guru politician streamed out of the room and pretended as if nothing happened that day. Really, the house of honour is a good place. It is blooming and enriched to be; if you can over-see or close your eyes to some of the rotten incidents enclosed.
''No honour without a trouble or hassles'' says an adage.
Thereafter, Yetunde was dashed with huge, fabulous, fortune money that instantly reformed and changed her status by the billionaire who valued and cherished promises kept. As agreed too, the happened remained solely a hidden secret in the heart of Yetunde. She did not disclose anything to Segun her real and authentic lover boy. Instead, when they met, she only had some rounds of love making together to cover-up. The chapter was closed!
3.
The Sealed Secret
When Yetunde returned to the campus, she created big waves with her studies. She opened a well stocked boutique that instantly became the talk of the town in the whole of Ilorin. In addition, she established a high-class fashion design centre with a unique label that reigned for long among the students and lecturers on campus.
Without any doubts, fortunes smile on her. Yetunde started to reign and ride on the shoulders of giants in the university. She maintained herself and was never drunk with wealth or status. Yes, in the campus, Yetunde was a lily among thorns. The finest apple tree in the orchard garden!
Segun the husband fed her with his love, raisins and apples. They were utterly lovesick.
She had money flowing to her direction on daily basis as undergraduate in the final year. She believed and fears God despite her sudden and timely fortunes. Yetunde never misbehave or commit any atrocity.
As a lady with native wisdom, she was able to cope with the new status experiences. She did not lose focus of her studies despite the number of friends and followers on the campus and in all the social media platforms.
Yetunde with her cohorts enjoyed buffet of the great politician as pets from time to time. It takes time for the ocean to get dry if at all. It is only inside a lake that a big ship can easily get sunk
Yetunde began a new life according to destiny that can never be erased. What will be, will definitely be? A man is only making attempts for the sake of it.
In the society, only the poor have few friends. Everyone is a friend or relative to the rich-man. Yetunde became as popular on the campus as a young entrepreneur, most beautiful and extra-ordinarily brilliant student. A woman of her rank was rare and uncommon. A lot of people believed her to be an angel in human skin.
With the investment and her vast knowledge with great wealth insights, Yetunde became a consultant to both the lecturers and students. She even did some projects for the university consult that earned the university authority huge foreign-grants. The percent given to her by the university authority was reasonable. She invested it in bulk purchased of shares in the stock exchanged market.
Despite her genius in the use of wealth, she further enjoyed patronage from the politician in different colours and contents. Yetunde fled poverty totally.
However, unknown to Yetunde, the sexual intercourse with Segun's father had made her conceived. She had her menstruation period the following month and the second month basically. But at the third month, her period seized totally. As a result, Yetunde became feverish with some strange symptoms. She got worried about her condition. She needed a timely solution to the plight.
Without any further delay, Yetunde visited the hospital for series of tests. At last, the obstetrics and Gynaecologist doctor declared her pregnant. It was confirmed beyond doubts that the woman was carrying a well positioned three months old pregnancy inside her womb. Yetunde endured to comply with the doctors' orders as regards the pregnant .However, the confirmation of the pregnancy was a great bombshell to Yetunde. She was dumb-founded on the spot!
Really, her body changed during that period. People did not suspect that she was pregnant at all. They thought she only had rest of mind that made her to put on some weight as noticed.
When the reality of pregnancy was down on Yetunde, she became upset with heartache. It was like an unimagined dream.
''Ahaaa! I'm in hot soup! '' Yetunde told herself on hearing the mixed-up absurd news of unwanted baby pregnant as double-confirmed by the medical doctor.
''Who shall claim the child?''
''Will it be Segun or his Father?''
She wondered within herself. It was as the world was about crumbling without notice.
''What kind of crossed road experience is this?'' Yetunde inquired. She gabbled seriously. She hates herself for the pending mess.
''How will I explain myself now? ''
All these thoughts and questions ran through the mind of the hard-bitten Yetunde on that fateful day as she left the university clinic where she went for the pregnancy test. She was registered for anti-
Natal the following day.
She became nervous and empty instantly and began to weep silently.
When Yetunde got her private apartment, she stood naked before the standing mirror to re-examine her tummy.
'' Yes, am carrying a baby! '' She told herself.
What has happened has happened, there's no going back again. She was not ready for any abortion as a godly girl that knew the implication of such attempt.
Yetunde became confused and badly depressed. With an unkempt hair, she could not eat anything throughout that day. She was disgusted and highly grieved to the marrow. She never expected such to happen to her.
''What will be the way forward now?'' remained a big question to the frustrated angel in human skin from that moment of reality.
Yetunde was bitterly troubled and downcast. The day was dark to her. She could not sight things clearly any longer. Her thoughts were absurd and tampered with. She almost cursed the day she was born to this world of vanity.
The dilemma of an innocent; hag-ridden undergraduate with a big tummy!
'' Will the barking of dog killed the dog? '' Really, Yetunde was not interested in playing double game.
Yetunde slept off with various thoughts ruling her heart.
At the mid-night, Yetunde took a u-turn from the grief. She made up her mind to boldly informed Segun about the pregnancy news so as to cover and bury that occurred. After all, Segun can never deny having sexual intercourse with her on free tickets several times when they stayed together during the last semester break-holidays. Awaken at dawn with the first noise of the birds
She phoned Segun and got him vividly informed.
''Hello Dear, I have a good news; your baby is in my tummy already!
Segun received the news with great surprise and mixed feelings.
''Oh Sweetie?but that too early'' Segun responded.
Actually Segun was not too serious at the dating but the news hooked him completely. He was trapped and caged!
Yes,'' Do not taste it if you are not ready to experience it!'' says the slogan.
The golden-boy Segun urgently met Yetunde at the university campus the next day for verification and heart-to-heart discussions. Segun had no alternative than to accept fate and plan immediately the way forward in life. There is no result that unprotected sexual intercourse with a girl cannot bring. Yetunde expressed her deep concern about the pregnancy but Segun waved the fear from her mind.
''The child of the way will be the top crown of my love for you?I can't dis-own you because of anything again in this world''
Segun made Yetunde to realise the renewal of love between them
'' Oh, my dear?that's why I love You too?I love everything about You my Gold!'' Yetunde responded.
Segun on that day assured Yetunde of his care and steps to be taken so as to formalized the relationship between the two of them so to forge ahead. He promised to inform his parents immediately.
When a child visits the forest and it got to the mid-night before returning. There will be no option than to take the bold-step for reaching home in the dark. Nothing to fear again!
''Yetunde is pregnant and I can't deny having love affairs with her''
Segun mentioned in his mind as he drove off for Ibadan.
Thereafter, Segun met his beloved mother. She got her informed about his strong love for pretty Yetunde. The mother was happy the more when the news of her pregnancy was told. She jumped up in joy and danced round like a masquerade in festive mood.
After few weeks, Yetunde came home with one her bosom friends at the university campus for the rites. She met Segun's grandparents officially. The day was so special and highly remarkable indeed. The meeting was celebrated in a grand style.
When money is available in excess, every scene is usually turned extra-ordinary in the house of a comfortable billionaire!
It was a dream fulfilled. No good parent would object to his beloved son getting hooked to a well cultured and promising girl in marriage. They accepted Yetunde to be the wife for their beloved first-child.
Meanwhile, the father of Segun, a fair skinned six-footer politician was greatly surprised of what was going on but kept mute as a matured man. He sensed it, but failed to express any feelings openly.
Later, a super grand introduction was done with the family and relatives of Yetunde in attendance at Ikole-Ekiti, the home town of the late father of Yetunde. Money was forced to talk that day without measures.
The coverage of the traditional marriage introduction was broadcast live by three FM Radio stations including Channels TV and CNN.
What some people in the town thought to be the real wedding was just tagged: ''Marriage Introduction''.
During the solemn but heavily loaded ceremony, it was agreed upon by the two families of the couples that a date will be fixed for the real traditional wedding of Segun and their daughter Yetunde when the bride and expectant mother delivered.
Thereafter, Segun's father a generous billionaire proved to be caring and highly supportive in several ways to the couples. A separate building was purchased, renovated and lavishly furnished for Segun and Yetunde in another location within the city.
When money decided to talk in the society, nothing stops the visible demonstration at display. The mansion built for Yetunde and Segun to be living happily as couples was named: ''The Innocent Villa''
It was the ace-politician and billionaire of note who gave the white house the special name during the house warming ceremony. Nobody could explain the reason for such a unique name given by the psychologist and eminent scholar.
The one-in-town castle was painted all white in and out! It was a donation to the new couples to make life more comfortable. Undoubtedly, it was one of the best edifices within the axis. It is located not too far from the Senator Adewolu Ladoja circular road; off Ibadan-Lagos Express Way not far from the Ojoo Bus Terminal end.
The duplex was like a mini-palace; portable in shape and structure. So nice to behold; well fenced with maximum security in a siren environment. Almost eighty percent [80%] of the expensive materials used in the construction of the building were imported.
One of the foremost construction firms in the state was awarded the contract for the putting on of The Innocent Villa project which was speedily completed to taste within few months. The furniture's inside the duplex; plus the finishing were lavishly fixed to taste.
Although the building may be tagged ''The Innocent Villa'' but the expenditure was noisy!
Segun's father never does anything without celebration as sign of gratification to God! Doing otherwise, to him is like covering the goodness of God!
The house warning of The Innocent Villa was in grand style as usual. It was witnessed by families and friends of the celebrant. The couples who got the donation of the house were highly appreciative to the donor. They prayed and wished him a long life and prosperity! Indeed, nothing is too small to celebrate and show the glory of God for!
The bold mark of joining a wealthy family reflected in Yetunde's life. The same was gladly extended to all those that took care of her as an orphan.
When a man received wealth from the lord and good health to enjoy it, what a good blessing to envy and be grateful to the creator.
The junior sister of Yetunde's mother, a tenant in the house the billionaire now turned mother-in-law was well treated according to Yoruba tradition. Your in-laws are mini-gods to be highly cherished. Anyone that released her daughter to another family has done a great thing and nothing can be too big enough to show the appreciation. As a result, Yetunde's aunty that was responsible for her schoolings since the demise of the mother was well compensated.
Nothing stopped the nice Ibadan man from blessing and spraying wealth on an Ekiti woman. For long, ''Ibadan people were regarded as the husbands of the Ekiti indigenes''
A new house, lavishly furnished was barely built for her in less than three months. She was dashed with a brand new Toyota Campy Saloon car for ride and a truck for business.
In addition, a large sum of #50million Naira working capital was released to support her food-stuff trading and supply business. Yetunde became a child of fortune and benefactor to many of her relatives.
Definitely, destiny worked in her favour without any limitation. The merciful God answered her prayers in different dimensions despite the background. Change of status became highly inevitable really. Nothing was hidden. Money in the pocket, bank account or wallets brings confident, honour, prestige and rest of mind from the hustles of life!
The taste of honey is different from that of sugar. Seniority is not limited to mere talking or show-off, but in the display of substances as proved by the Ibadan billionaire to Yetunde and her extended family.
As if that was not enough, Yetunde was given a portable exotic spot-car for crushing at the campus. This was to make life comfortable and stress free due to her condition. She was over pampered during the pregnancy period. It was too much.
If not for the time frame and Yetunde's academic engagements, Segun's father was fully ready to send her abroad for the delivery. When money begins to talk nobody is ready to listen to the voice of a miser and talkative again!
'' A party gives laughter, and wine gives happiness, but money gives everything. Money talks even those with little cash can never kept it shut from talking aloud.''

The Sealed Secret
Few months after, Yetunde delivered in one of the high-class private hospitals in Ibadan. She gave birth to a fine bouncing baby boy without any hassles.
The child was welcome. Yetunde was also in a good condition thereafter the delivery. The hand of God was made manifest during the delivery. In fact, two specialist doctors and a senior mid-wife were arranged and well paid to handle the delivery process being a first-timer.
Everyone is a friend to a new child in Yoruba land. People far and near rejoiced with the politician who was lucky to have a grand-son to reckon with in life. What a blessing that must be celebrated. Nothing should be taken for granted.
The birth of the child by Yetunde automatically turned the status of Segun's parents to grandpa and grandma in the community. You cannot be called by such name if your off springs have not reproduced. Such an experience is attainable only by the grace of God and should not be waved off without appreciation to the creator who made it possible.
The parents were thankful to God for the favour. Segun's father has the habit of praising God all the time. It was gathered that he was fond of shouting a minimum of One thousand Halleluyah every day for the past forty years ago. In some political circles, they tagged him with the alias ''Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan'' We all have our secrets and ways of pleasing the creator.
''Do not thank me but God that deserved our praises ''
was is common saying all the time in response to anyone trying to show him gratitude for his generosity that is usually alarming and often beyond expectation.
''If ones daughter is beautiful, there is no crime in making the declaration'' says an adage.
The ''Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan'' was a good man of notes!
In the hall of fame, if quests were to be invited physically; Segun's father would sit comfortable on the front row. He is not famed for flattering people and politicians. Instead, he has made his mark in speaking the truth to power! The ace-politician was convinced, he can grind his axe intently without minding whose ox is gored as long as he is on the side of the common people.
Really, it is the empty drum that makes the loudest noise.
His generosity was not resisted or limited to his faith alone as a Christian with Anglican background.
Aside from the building of churches and mission houses for various ministries; and Christian movements across the nation and beyond. He equally supported the Muslim movement in the construction an ultra-modern mosque with an Islamic school along Olodo-Iwo express road, Ibadan. Recently, he was responsible for the donation of an ultra modern health centre to two communities in Ona-Ara local Government Area.
Yearly as on records; he sponsors not less than twelve people for H Holy pilgrimages to Jerusalem and Mecca for various religious activities.
In addition, to paying monthly allowances to numerous Pastors, imams and other clergy on his payroll!
He was a prominent investor and cheerful giver in the kingdom of God on earth. He owns and established a movement since thirty years ago named: Faith Partnership Programme for Gospel Investments International [FPPGII]; an NGO with a foundation. Also, he acquired a vast land with mountain for prayers called Hallelluyah Land at Ajia area. Also known as The International Prayer Warriors Centre! [IPWC]
He was found of numerous good works towards the house of God and humanity without any discrimination, sentiment or fanatics. This rare attitude fetched him good name and rich reputation within and outside the city of Ibadan. He holds chieftaincy titles and awards including an honorary Doctorate Degree in Humanity from Trinity University, Lagos Nigeria!
In business, he excels with distinction as an oil magnate. His approach to business too was amazing and a class of its own. The workers in most of his business outfits are well paid and lavishly treated with several fringe benefits and packages. Also he has petrol filling stations located in several places across the length and breadth of Nigeria. He enjoys good patronage and repute from the masses for selling with distinction and ultimate super services without any compromise. ''Winners Never Cheat; Cheaters Never Win!'' is the slogan of his business.
To the Ibadan based Billionaire politician, nothing is too small to thank God for and celebrate with the people. It is not in his attitude to cover the goodness of God in his entire life. A man was generous and gentle to a fault.
No man from Ibadan can beat Segun's father when it comes to giving and sharing with guests and the masses at large. He is never afraid of spending money on projects that can uplift the common man from the bondage of poverty and wretchedness.
No other billionaires are fit to compete with Segun's father when it comes to the display of wealth with sense and glamour! He has the fear of God. His place was the endeavour for on-coming politicians and growing up entrepreneurs.
Surprisingly, Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan was never sort of cash to donate or give out as support. His was never dried of money as if he had an ocean of it. Nobody detected his source of wealth. He was not even accused of corruption when he served as a Federal Minister in the country. But a closed x-ray of the billionaire politician shows and projected a man endowed with divined wealth insights and great native wisdom that was not common.
At the eight day, the christening of Segun's child was held. The grand naming ceremony took place at Premier Hotel. The occasion was gracefully attended by all sort people in the society. Dignities and men of high calibres from nooks and crannies of Nigeria came for the celebration. They came to merry and enjoyed themselves to the full.
No joy or happiness can be covered up by the cloth. It was celebration gallon for Segun's family. All the relatives were in attendance for the naming rites of passage! Everywhere was festive. The grandson of billionaire is being celebrated. The drummers must raise the sound of drum-beat rapidly for dancers to respond without wrinkles. Who will kill the dog for barking aloud or sentence the he-goat to death for fighting with the horns? That would be a blunder!
Yes, the rod must be spared for the billionaires' sake! Definitely, the limbs of men can be mixed up with those of the dogs for the moment. When an elephant is slaughtered for feast; different kinds of knives are often deployed for the herculean task of butchering!
Interestingly, it was long; Ibadan city witnessed such in history. Everywhere rocks with the special Ankara fabrics distributed to mark the naming ceremony where hundreds of citizens were in attendance.
Everyone was accommodated and treated like royal guest. The gathering was well planned and organised by competent professionals.
This is an incontrovertible fact; the event planners did an excellent work on that memorable day. It was an all-rounder ceremony for both the rich and the poor in the city; together with thousands of the impressionable minds.
Undoubtedly, the aged and old men and women were seen parading in joy as they were happily rejoicing with guru Ibadan politician doing feasting for his first grand-child's naming. Many indigenes of Ibadan and clans were in attendance! It was not the Yoruba affairs alone; other ethnic groups were present as well.
At the premises where the celebrations took place, everywhere was peaceful, although the security agents manned and bombarded the venue to check-mate any intruder who may likely misbehave. The guards were battle ready wearing unfriendly faces.
The area boys were curtained, settled and satisfied as well. The great and notable comedians in the likes of AliBaba, Woli Agba, Adigun Ibadan, Papa Bonboy, Funke Akindele, Pastor Remote, Big Eteyii, Shank etc, graced the occasion with loads of jokes like a merchant. It could be tagged: ''The banquet of Jokes!''
The funny comedians took their turn, one after the other. They all entertained the joyful guests and the well wishers around with super and amazing rib-cracking jokes.
All that drove sadness and sorrow to the foreign land completely. It was a joyful occasion; therefore there should be no room for sadness. People gathered to rejoice; no one should cry or shed any tears. The poor after the taste of free rich buffer danced away freely their sorrow! When the hang-over is gone, the drunkard would realise the bills due for clearance.
Both the politicians and business associates of Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan witnessed the one in town naming. The state governor and the Bishop of Anglican Dioceses were in attendance too. The buffet was super and much. The popular king of Juju Music, king Sunny-Ade from Ondo state entertained the guest beyond expectation. The king of Fuji, Wasiu Ayinde also added sugar to the honey.
Equally, the students and lectures from university of Ilorin came to felicitate with Yetunde for the birth of her child!
At a time like this when cost of living has gone beyond the reach of common people, the offer of free bouquet by Segun's father was good enough, timely and greatly appreciated by all and sundry. People eat and drink tired. Some got drunk in that memorable event. They were bailed out by their colleagues who piloted them out of the hall. The house fly that drinks inside the king's cup freely without caution will soon be found drunk inside the glass cup unnoticed.
A well packed rich take home gift was given to everyone without any dis-crimination or oversight. Everyone was treated lavishly well as instructed by the host billionaire: the Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan who was trying to bequeath the legacy of huge generosity to the poor people and the less privileged in the society.
The child was named Junior. He was giving the same name with Segun, the bonfire father!
The adage which says ''seeing is believing '' was proved in Ibadan at the naming celebrations. Those who witness the ceremony can never deny the generosity of Segun's father.
On that day of joy, people unanimously were saying and singing:
''The Rich Man Owns the World''
If all the money-bag politicians can have good heart like this man; the bandits and insurgency will travel away out of our country. But some wealthy individuals had forgotten that: we came empty into this world, and we shall return back in bare-hands without holding any cash. We met money on earth and we shall leave it behind thereafter?..nobody takes money to heaven.
The wise should learn to take everything simple! ''Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity! ''Softly..Softly?Softly!!! The ground may be sleepy!'' - A sound warning to the hearten-rich man in the community.
For weeks, the christening was the big talk of the town! Money was forced to talk louder than before.
Meanwhile, the kept secret of what occurred between Yetunde and the father of Segun?the billionaire politician of Ibadan was almost a done deal. All but, a factor was about to dig out the matter afresh despite the time lag.
'' It appeared that the buried corpse just got on leg out not cover with sand''
Really, it is only the woman of a born child that can confirm the real father of her baby. A wife can tell the story of her encounters before she gave birth. Life is complex. There things that are beyond our imagination when it comes to rearing children. The society today is full of vagabonds.
The child of a strange man outside will be brought home by the wife for rearing under the roof of an innocent husband unknowingly.
Can you imagine?.The child of Oba given to Osun to father! It is definitely not proper. But who will be able to detect what went wrong?
In truth, the child born for Segun by Yetunde named Junior resembled the grandfather too much. Even a blind man can sense it vividly. The child Junior from day one was like a duplicate of the great politician.
The baby was as if Segun's father vomited him from the mouth. Junior without any doubt was a carbon copy of grandpa. When you look closely at the boy would be as if you are observing a small stature of the grandpa. But, how come! It was too absurd to behold. However, the born-child was feeble. No doubt about that and nothing to gossip for.
This was alarming and amazing to every member of the family.
Yes, a child can resemble any of the parents. And sometimes, it may not. There may not be any specious approach when the born child took after the parents, any of the grandparents or the great-grandparents as well. It all depends on the handiwork of nature.
Every born child must and will resemble someone in particular. But, there must not be any shady deal involved, infidelity or adulterous act by the mother along the line. No child can claimed two living fathers. Likewise, there are no children without a biological father. Only that such a father may not be known.
To be candid, when a child is born, only the mother can confirm the real father. We are living in a more complicated world these days.
The troubles encountered by pregnant woman can never be reported through the hubby. ''The person that swallowed mortal will not sleep or rest comfortable '' says an adage.
He who destroyed the house of swaps definitely invited troubles for himself.
''Who will prevent the furious flood of Ogunpa from carrying sand into the rivers?''
Therefore, Junior resembled someone within the family of Segun. That is Ok, the distance is not farfetched. No problem in that, no hassles as well. The storm should be made to rest inside a big cooler.
Obviously, Segun the bonfire father of Junior too noticed vividly well the close resemblance of the boy with his father from head to toe. However, he failed to attach many negative meanings or impression to it in any way. He never raised any eye-brow at all.
After all, Segun too was the true lad of his father in resemblance and body build-up. The only area of difference was in the skin complex. Both Yetunde and Segun are dark in complexion like is grandmother. But Junior was born with fair complex and smooth skin like that of the grandfather.
The nature cannot be blamed for such outcome. Who will be bold enough to question God of destiny on any issue at stake in life?
Actually, everyone cannot sleep and face the same direction. Things may not go well that way. Some people are highly gifted among women who can interpret or read unusual meanings to certain things in life.
The grandmother was not comfortable about what was happening as regards the closed resemblance of Segun's son with her hubby which was too suspicious and obvious
On detecting what she saw as a rebel, Segun's mother took a bold step for clarification of the deadly act.
The woman questioned her husband if there was a romantic love affair between him and Yetunde, the wife of their son.
The ace-politician waved off the allegation outright.
''Abaaa! How can I descend so low to that level?Will I be-little myself? Trust me?Nothing of such, dear!''
Segun's father told his wife jokingly.
''Baba Segun; I know you to be a lion that is usually interested in eaten fresh meat''
The grandmother responded to her husband.
''But not like this one, a horse does not eat the grass underneath it''
Segun's replied with a serious smile. She was bamboozled and cajoled! If the person talking is a fool, the listeners must be wise.
The gains in lies cannot be missed by the two people involved!
The politician scooped his wife with series of other pending matters so as to dismiss her allegation.
Thereafter, the case was closed and buried finally. Nobody referred to it again in the whole universe. There is nothing strange again. Nothing to raise your stress or engaged unnecessary worries. If you are too concern about issues of life, it can lead you to untimely grave experience. Therefore, learn to take life as simple as possible. The highly exposed politician do admonished his wife and followers on different occasions.
Those who failed to give their minds rest do suffer high blood pressure on the long run.
Oh Yes, the world cannot end like that. Nothing on earth can make the heaven to fall?impossible!
Fear can kill. Therefore, never allow the fear of anything get you down. Tomorrow will come no matter what today may be speaking. Pleasant or unpleasant! And when the toil is over, today will become yesterday and every incident therein becomes history automatically.
We may be writing the history now, but later will shall be the history that other people will be talking about?That is life for You!
Indeed, you could take Segun's father for a church Pastor or one of the highly rated motivational speakers of our generation. He was a man of many colours and shades. He was a bookworm and a workaholic. He owns a very big library with stock of books worth over 2billion dollars. No individual in the whole of Nigeria have such an asset like the Ajorosun man. He got many awards and honours from the nation and international organisations because of his versatile and genuinely.
Recently, the Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan earned Doctorate Degree in Philosophy from The Nation Open University. He had money, people and books. He planned to establish a radio station for Yetunde that will be named Rejoice FM. The registration of the proposed radio station is already in progress anyway. What can money not do? Is there any question that money cannot answer in this country?

The Sealed Secret
Yetunde and her hubby enjoyed several opportunities and fortunes from the father in-law and the rest members of the family. She was a wife proud of by Segun too. She finished her studies with First Class from the UniIlorin. She enjoyed her sole-life without exhibiting any thrift attitude. What a highly disciplined and cool headed wife.
Yetunde was the overall best student from her faculty. Her brilliance was without measures. The gift of establishing a Radio Station was the promise of the father-in-law on the graduation day aside from other special awards granted.
''If lie travels for twenty years, one day the truth will overtake ''says a Yoruba adage!
Let us wait patiently and see. The photographer will one day come up with the image or picture captured with his camera. Nothing is hidden under heaven. One day the plain truth of every matter will be widely exposed including the very serious evil done in the past hidden and not revealed.
Really, a time would come in the nearest future the sealed secret will be blown open. Will it be palatable? It is just a matter of time for the vagabond to identify himself in the house of honour and prestige.
As it was slated by destiny, Junior the son of Segun grew up rapidly. He started schooling at a tender age. He was a promising and gutsy that the parent were proud of. Almost everything about his growth was amazing and very unique.
Unfortunately, both Yetunde and Segun did not have any other child after Junior was born few years back. This was not planned at all or in tensional.
As a woman and mother, it was discovered that Yetunde could not get pregnant for a while. It was a rife. All frantic efforts made by the couples failed woefully.
Every step taken has been in futility. Actually, Junior was ripped to have another kin behind him but it was unrealistic. Yetunde was temporarily barren but hopeful. But the issue at stake demands a prompt attention from serious minded couples.
Actually, when an orange is sweet and juice, eating more than one is most likely to happen. The sweetness of honey is never rejected by the tongue. You can't sweep the floor of a house once and expect it clean for life! The experiences of life are usually continuous or often repeated.
Both Segun and Yetunde desired and cherished having additional child. But all their efforts on the issue were like pouring water on the outer side of egg. It will not hold. Segun believed in figures as chartered accountant, with clear understanding and the insights of multiple figures. One as regard asset is never a comfortable zone and highly risky.
A child was not the best for the young couples. However, no individual can outrun or ran pass the mark of destiny. Every journey must have a specific destination. Life and the experiences are lessons to behold for the wise. The prudent with native wisdom will tap constantly from the best teacher referred to as ''Experience''
Experience, they say is the best teacher today!
Nobody is older than his or her experiences of destiny. What will be will be? Sometimes, what is bound to happen will be? What is written is written already. We are only making efforts! In fact, our experiences are just the simple interpretation of destiny.
Indeed, no one can force a ripped coconut to fall. There is time for everything under the sun.
The fact remains, Junior the only child of Segun may be due to have followers behind him. However, the reality of such expectation looks like a mere dream for now. The couples search for additional has been unfruitful.
Despite, Yetunde was never a cranky woman! Conspicuously, the tummy of Yetunde also appeared big without foetus inside. The rain of a new child seized for a while. This is an incontrovertible fact.
In the process, the two couples sought for spiritual solution by visiting prophets and attending mountain tops for prayers and counselling. A barren-woman desperately looking for additional child will not sleep at home all the time. It was like a constant dripping on a rainy day.
With God all things are possible. If we can pray; something will happen! Those who do not pray deprive themselves of the blessings that only God can give!
In addition to finding help spiritually, the couples took a bold further by going for medical attention to detect if any went wrong with any of them. As a result, Yetunde underwent series of tests and medical treatments. They even took some herbs as recommended. Her heart was heavy for not having additional child of her own.
It was confirm that the couples are medically fit to produce additional child. The seizure was temporary. They only have to wait for God-the embodiment of divine strength! At an appropriate time in the sight of God, the joy of a new child will visit their castle again. The blessing of childhood will one be bestow on them eventually. They just need to be patient for a while. It is never late in the sight of God to do it for them.
Since no one can stop the wind or hold unto anything with oil-slick hands; what is destiny to happen to a man will eventually become an history to be told like folk-lore! To have rest and peace of heart, don't fight the facts of nature. It is a battle that cannot be won!
In life, a rich man can buy virtually anything but not a biological child.
The couples waited and waited. The story remained the same. When human efforts failed on an issue of life the best will be to result to fate and forge ahead. Tough times never last, but tough people do!
A long the line, both Segun and Yetunde were appreciative to God almighty that did not allow them to engaged in the devilish thought of terminating the pregnancy of Junior that came at an odd time years back when the mother was an under graduate in the university then. ''All things work for good. If not, regrets would have been our potion now.'' Both couples acknowledge the fact, and consoled themselves further.
Since the situation remained as usual. The couple is yet to make any headway in their struggles to have additional child.
Segun accepted it and resolved to fate. He did not give himself any further headache again. Instead, He faced squarely other pursuit of life with his wife.
''After all, a man with a son cannot be declared barren or childless in the society''. Yetunde voiced out happily and cheerfully in one of their discussions as husband and wife
As the little-boy Junior grew-up rapidly, Segun was getting elevation in his place of work. Yetunde's business too was booming with huge and bountiful contracts. The splendid of life was to the favour of the couples.
Consequence, one day, both couples at brink of returning from the colourful and glorious end of the year party organized by the school their son was attending. The school was a high-rated private nursery School located at the GRA not far from the Government Secretariat within the city of Ibadan.
Segun and Yetunde were proud of the son they are blessed with as parents. The genuine child performed excellently well at the occasion. Junior had the overall best-students prize as the most brilliant pupil and a bright spark kid in the entire school.
Some of the parents in attendance at the end of the year party prayed and wished to have a kid like Junior who will bring glory to their family.
When the ceremony was over on that afternoon, they left for Agbowo to make some business transactions before heading home. On the way coming, they had a brief stopover at Segun's parents residence located at Agbowo before the Ibadan-Lagos Express junction, not too far from the Ojoo end.
The genius Junior, Yetunde his mother, and Segun were gladly welcome. They were well and lavishly entertained by the grandparents. The atmosphere was very splendid.
They were treated like an august visitors because it was long they had time to be physically available to wine and dine with the aged lovely parents.
Segun's father was extremely happy at Junior's performance in the school as reported by the parents. The boy was hugged by the guru-politician. Both the grandpa and grandma prayed for Junior with mouth wetting promises. ''Good Boy, keep it up!'' the small boy was happily encouraged cheerfully by the grandparents.
After few hours, they were set to leave for home. Junior was a bit reluctant. The small boy exhibited some signs of refuse. The mother acted as if she was absent minded to the reaction. However, the sharp boy bears out his mind.
Junior graciously requested from his parents loudly that he loved to stay behind to spend few days with the grand-parents. They couples looked at each other without uttering a word. What a brilliant request from a highly brilliant and intelligent boy!
It was unexpected. Segun did not object it. Likewise Yetunde could not express her frank openly. Invariable, it was approved. That was how Junior stayed behind to have some funs with the grandparents.
Thereafter, both Yetunde and Segun without any alternative waved Bye?Bye to the boy! The couples drove home to enjoy themselves further for the rest of the week.
To be candid, Yetunde was not pleased at all with the approval of allowing the boy to stay with grandparents. But she does not have the impetus to say no. The parents of Segun would give such objection negative mean or interpretation.
When you are at the place of in-laws as wife or woman of virtues, you need to put on acceptable behaviours no matter how inconvenient such may be. Native wisdom demands such an attitude so as to escape naggings from your in-laws. The river is never afraid, only the swimmer must be cautioned.
Really, the trouble-some and restless Junior had good times with the grandparents of his father. He was well taken care of. The grandma, mother of five groomed children including Segun gave the grand-child a taste of how his father was nursed when young.
While Junior was with grandpa and grandma, he behaves so well. Both Father and the age-woman loved him with his youthful attitudes. But sometimes, he could display some strange attitudes such as snoring when sleeping and bed-wetting.
The grandparents were still happy with the lad despite. It was the boy that made them to be referred to as grandpa and grandma. Also, Junior is the first grandson that will be numbered for them when passed-on to the great beyond. Therefore, they have to bear it. Every status has its own toil. Every crown is usually with a thorn.
One day when grandma left home for the market with her driver. Junior was left behind with his grandpa to play with.
The boy boldly approached the grandfather in a serious mood. He told the man:
''Grandpa, I see you as my Father because I resembled you most and not Segun''
Junior told the ace-politician frankly
''No?.No?No?!!! Segun is your father?Am only your grandpa''
The man responded to the boy inside the bedroom where the two of them were having a rest. With a baleful expression, the politician was baffled and apathetic. He did not expect such a claim from Junior at that tender age. What a funny embarrassment?
However, a trained politician is ever ready for awesome game both during the day and at night. On seeing what was going on, Segun's father became highly worried and greatly troubled. It became a nightmare. He therefore retorted may be Yetunde, had disclosed to the boy what happened secretly between the two of them.
It has been said that for a stranger to enter a particular town and identify correctly the grave of a blind man, an indigene must know one or two things about it!
However, Segun's father maturely handled the situation as an experienced politician. No matter what happened, white can be turned black overnight. No shaking, nothing to fear. Money power can seal up anything in the country including the mouth of an angel!
From that moment, Junior's case became the only thorn in the flesh of Segun's father. As good as the boy was admired and appreciated by the grandparents. He often miss-behaved as kid with little understanding. Sometimes, he could be asking sensitive questions that one must be careful in given answers to because of the likely implications.
The aged father began to complain but to his wife some of the unpalatable strange attitudes of Junior that he cannot tolerate any longer.
The madam who had the training and experience in the grooming of kids and teenagers pleaded with her hubby on the matter.'' No matter how good a person may be, there will be a weakness. That is what life is made of; we need to tolerate each other no matter what. Don't blame Junior for being outrageous. He is still at tender age. Whenever he becomes an adult, he is going to adjust and have better understanding of life.'' Politeness requires us to remain silent on this issue.
Grandma admonished her hubby softly on behalf of the boy Junior!
The wife made Segun's father realized a man cannot claim to be perfect except Jesus Christ of the Holy Bible.
''Dear, you are right?when I was like the boy in my days?I was more than terrible too'' Segun's father mentioned jokingly.
The grandparents had a rib-cracking laughter together and went to sleep that night.
To be candid, the short stay of Junior was very lively. It was as if the boy has been with the grandparents for years. The family was lucky to be blessed with a rare breed. A young child that was so sharp and highly intelligent. Only eight year's kids who behaves maturely beyond his age bracket. He could be restless during the day. Jumping from one sport to the other; singing, dancing and making displays that project his natural inborn talents as a child of favour.
Junior was presented a giant teddy bear as parting gift by the grandfather to be playing with. It was hoped that the toy would keep him busy.
In fact, there was no dull moment for the boy except when he was sleeping or eating his favourite food. Junior had ethics and table manners. You can never catch him talking when at the dining room eating.
''When eating, you should not talk'' the boy would caution any of the grandparents or anybody who dare break the rule.

The Sealed Secret
During that weekend, Yetunde eagerly came to pick her boy Junior back home so that he could attend the Sunday service at Redeemed Gospel Church International. Actually, Junior will be leading the children choir at the harvest service.
The absence of the boy almost made Segun sick. He was used with the son. Yetunde's visit to pick the lad was with the consent of her husband.
Apparently, when Yetunde was with Segun's father, the wife was not at home. She had travelled to Lagos to attend a wedding. The grandma was not likely to return until Sunday afternoon after service.
On sighting Yetunde, the wife of Segun, the guru billionaire politician saw the visitation as a change again to re-enforce some things. The faint hearted Segun's father tactically enquired from Yetunde solemnly if she ever told Junior or anyone else about what they had together in the past; simply because of the strange, nasty, funny behaviours exhibited by her boy to him during the short-stay. Yetunde was enraged by the sensitive statements from her father-in-law.
''No sweetie?you should count on me''
Yetunde assured her father-in-law with a lovely smile.
The mother of Junior further explained to the aged grandpa that she was not pleased or at peace with the approval granted her son to stay behind with them for the short stay
''Sir, to be candid, if not because there was no option for me on that very day; I would have not have released my son for the short stay''
Yetunde declared boldly.
Junior is such a strange child?he could sometimes be rude or probing.
He could bellicose most especially when cautioned against his mind.''
The mother of Junior told plainly Segun's father and she apologise for any embarrassments caused by the lad.
''I 'II charm him against doing such next time please''
Be rest assured and trust me?.
''Hey, how come tell anybody about my mistake?what will be wrong with me to disclose such secret to anybody living or dead?never?never?never?I'm not daft!''
Yetunde said further in a serious mood.
Segun's father smiled as Yetunde coyly winked suggestively at him.
Meanwhile, Yetunde the wife of Segun denied out rightly ever informing anybody how she was raped by the politician in the past.
''Our secret remained a secret and it must be secretly kept and preserved for ever''
Yetunde authoritatively pronounced.
''Haba, when am not a kid or inexperienced. What do I stand to gain from making the declaration of such sacred act?
I can't be so foolish or daft ''
The amity between the two of them was so hidden like a Sealed Secret that was had to blow open by mere person unharmed.
Yetunde was not sort of words any longer. She told grandpa that the deal between them had been died and buried for quite a long time and nobody can uproot it again.
With the statements of assurance from Yetunde, the trouble politician who foresaw danger with Junior unusual utterances became relief. The high tension in hear vamoosed like a deflated balloon instantly.
Segun's father was extremely delighted with Yetunde at that moment. He was happy having secret affairs with a matured woman. He drew Yetunde closer to himself and gave her a romantic kiss.
''You will surely see my hand of favour before you reach home today for keeping the sealed secret intact''
The billionaire politician assured Yetunde. He was highly elevated from what he heard from Junior's mother.
Thereafter, light aromatic refreshment was offered to appetizer Yetunde after they had exchanged banters for a while over bottles of red wine, stick meat and snacks.
A meal of frivolous pounded yam was served with apricot to crown the length engagement.
The housefly that is freely drinking wine inside the king's cup will one day get drunk and soaked.
The boy Junior with unique hindsight appeared to have occupied himself with the giant-size Teddy-bear purchased for him as Greek gift by the grandfather as promised. He was bystander!
When both Yetunde and grandpa were staying together; they took the son for granted. What a blatant error! Underscoring Junior doing a chid-play at the small waiting room, they be-little Junior as a small boy. They thought that does not understand. He was almost absent minded to what was going on in the relatively closed standing meeting and the lengthy discussions held between them on that Saturday.
Only God almighty that can expose vividly the hidden actions of a father-in-law that turned himself surgical-doctor overnight behind closed doors with his son's beloved wife.
Anyway, nothing is strange again under the sun. It is a common practise elsewhere unchecked!
The hungry cat can swallow a tasty meat if placed within reach. But with the caution of aftermath, a dog should scare away from eating all the found dead-meat so as not to swallow poison as tasty soft meat freely. Life is delicate and should not be managed anyhow.
''Hey Yetunde, I always lose my sense each time I sighted your image?I have nightmare because of you nearly every day''
Segun's father confessed deeply in appreciation of Yetunde?the fresh African Beauty?An angel in human skin living at heartland of Ibadan
''That will be for another day; the road is not clear''
-Hearten Yetunde pleasurable discharged her father-in-law demand for sexual intercourse in aplomb audaciously.
The deal was too dark for anyone to get a clear picture of what was going on that Saturday.
Fortunately, without any overstatement, gaily Yetunde enjoyed fortified love and care from grandpa. Fortunes smile on her for the past years as vowed by the billionaire. The showers of raw cash and splendour gifts were amazingly flowing like stream regularly for several months. Yetunde was extremely fostered by her father-in-law without gauge.
The father-in-law was like a Father Christmas to the woman. Every day was raining cash in one way or the other. Undoubtedly, big fortunes were boldly settled with Yetunde as influenced by Segun's father. The cash tap like ATM was flowing to Yetunde's pursue that got fattened up within a short span.
Anyway, the hidden love with the sealed secret remained a covenant and bond between Yetunde and the generous Ibadan-based politician who refused to grow old
For the reason best known to her, Yetunde did not throw decorum to the wind as desired by Segun's father to be sharing the same bed.
When it was time to leave, Yetunde was pleased and happy. She stepped out of the building highly excited about the promise of another round of compensation for keeping the sealed secret intact. She looked forward to it.
The billionaire father-in-law had a rest of mind. The departure was on a good note anyway. When what one love to eat is not available; one would joyfully search for an alternative.
Yetunde gleefully jumped inside her gleaming black Highlander Toyota Jeep with her son and drove off. Grandpa waved bye to Junior. The boy was crying. He did not love to leave the premises.
''Grandpa, let me stay with you'' the boy boldly uttered while inside the car. He was pampered despite his grumblings.
''Never mind?Grandpa will come to pick you after the service on Sunday'' Yetunde with eyeful assured him jokingly! She was only deceiving the boy.
Both Yetunde and Segun's father had meaningful eyes contact. He winked at the woman with back slapping while trying to lock the car door and took off finally.
The departure was on fresh notes with lasting memorable experiences! Indeed, Yetunde had benefitted handsomely from her relationship with Segun's father.
Meanwhile, for concealing the secret, Segun's father planned to compensate the woman out of his reserved fortunes.
Yes, when you make a wealthy man happy and glad. No gift will be too big for a dash.
Immediately Yetunde with Junior, the billionaire went straight to the sitting room thinking almost aloud.
''What a matured woman to have like Yetunde instead of the haggard old, unserviceable fuddy-duddy woman that is almost out of stuff''
Really, the beauty of Yetunde cannot be ignored by any right thinking man of taste including the billionaire politician from Ibadan Municipal.
Oh my God, Yetunde as a woman had the gazelle of a beauty queen with the corpulent physique of lady of substance with comely appearance.
''If Yetunde could be so preserved to that level, definitely; she deserved a bountiful compensation from me''
The billionaire bravely confessed, joyously raising a punch at the wall.
Without any further delay, grandpa was about to shower cash rebate again. The comfortable billionaire went promptly inside his luminous bed room highly elevated and greatly inspired.
He picked the phone immediately and made an instant cash transfer of #100 million Naira! [One hundred million Naira] to Yetunde's GTBank Account with a short message:
''A token for keeping the sealed secret intact, you deserved the compensation'' it's well!

The Sealed Secret
In the gibbers, Segun's father thought that the parting gift will erase his promiscuity.
Nothing is too big or small to compensate any loyal individual. Most especially, in the situation when the favour of God is at work. Secrets are meant to hidden and kept and not to be exposed.
In the society, there are some information that should be cover and never broken, exposed or revealed because of the likely negative implication. It is unfortunate that many people have meant untimely death simply because they attempted to expose hidden secrets at their disposer.
Be remained again and again, secrets are meant to be sealed and kept intact and never to be exposed. In life we all have our secrets.
''The soup inside the stomach of an elder is never heard shaking but intact'' says a Yoruba adage.
If you love yourself, keep your secret kept; if not you will soon suffer the consequence.
With Yetunde, while on his way home with Junior at the back seat and the kept secret that was sealed and kept intact at a corner inside her heart. She was addled and began to flashback to imagine the kind of absurd behaviour that her adder-Junior must have displayed that totally upset the heart of Segun's father who had seen and exposed to vast incidents in life. What could have got the elderly man shiver like a chick that enters the rain?
They way the billionaire confronted when she reached the house few hours ago were still embarrassing. The allegations coupled with the lengthy discussion that prevailed thereafter.
''A kid could be funny'' Yetunde concluded.
Junior could be naught! She frowns at the boy.
She had a pathological hatred for the boy as well.
''will this outrageous child not spoil my life'' The woman asked herself without any answer.
Yetunde was bitterly displeased with the passive boy but remained calm while driving on because she was about to join the Lagos - Ibadan express way at the Ojoo end.
The gadfly will soon rest for a while.
''No problem?heaven cannot fall?come hell or high water, let us wait and see what will happen? life must continue as written'' Yetunde ponder within herself
''No animal can be bold enough to chase lion out of the forest?Who exactly will be the architect of my troubles in this city?''
Madam Yetunde, the mother of Junior bluntly and frankly uttered loudly as she steadily moved the four-runner jeep off the Express-way to join the last street leading to their residence within the GRA [ Government Reservation Area] not too far away from the Senator Ladoja circular road under construction.
A few metres away from the T-Junction; the ride was so smooth and pleasurable. The road was not busy unlike other days. Junior dosed off with sound sleep at the back seat snoring like Segun when on bed. He enjoyed the drive undoubtedly.
With the andante inspiring gospel music of Tope Alabi solemnly aired at the background. It created a thrill and super excitement.
''We own the world?we can rewrite the story again!''
Yetunde was almost carried away. She nearly lost in thoughts.
While trying to wake Junior up from the slumbering; Yetunde heard an alert-tone from her latest imported iphone. In alacrity, she quickly checked awaited message to read with surprise!
Wahoo! Yetunde could not believe what she saw. It was like a dream. The huge amount of money dropped inside her bank account was beyond imagination.
''Do I really worth it?
#100million Naira cash dash again from the generous billionaire of note.
''A token compensation for your keeping the sealed secret intact ''
With the cash dash, the possibility of the Okro tree growing taller than the owner cannot be ruled out.
Indeed, big fortune arrived at last for Yetunde, woman of destiny before reaching home as promised by the care free money bag politician. Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan have proved himself?its well indeed!
Could this be really.. How come this much?
Several probing questions came out of her mind to express the greatest soak that arrived earlier than expected. It took her a while to confirm the reality of the message read. No doubt?no fear again!
Yetunde became so lucky enough to become an instant millionaire with One hundred million naira [#100million naira] credit transfer from her husband's father just for keeping the sealed secret intact!
''So it paid heavily to keep a sealed secret intact forever?''
Yetunde imagined and rejoiced. She was highly grateful to the Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan.
'' No heavens can fall again'' Yetunde repeatedly exclaimed adamantly.
Yes, a lackey of the billionaire politician landed safely. With the cool millions inside her bank account already, Yetunde felt on top of the world, and more desperate immediately to get rid of Segun?the only cog in the wheel for now! Segun the father of Junior was her main headache.
The deal is done again for the orphan girl turned millionaire after several ordeals of life. Indeed, before yam could be turned to pounded yam, several poundings took place with the pestle inside the mortal.
No success status is ease to attain in this world any longer. Yetunde began several self meditation that involved concrete thoughts and deeper feelings. The route to the city of success and wealth is long and wingding; only the courageous can endure it.
This is a good world to experience and enjoyed?The Ekiti-born woman ascertained. Whatever be the outcome will definitely be a cross to bear in fate without hassles. Nothing goes for anything. A hunter that enters the bush and failed to bring home animal will not eat a delicious soup from the wife that day.
'' If you find a foolish man's footprint and you failed to scoop it up to make your voodoo, when do you think you will find that of a wise man?''
Yetunde pondered within her minds. The taken pounded yam at her father-in-laws house was yet to digest.
One good turn definitely deserved another. If you have relationship with the rich and your life remained the same. You have to check it fast critically. May be you are under a curse or that your wealthy bosom friend is a chronic miser to keep the distance from. The choice remained yours. Either to wallop in the killing-poverty at stake or quit for the best alternative
The world is big enough to parade or exhibit love in any desired way. The cloth of love put on as pullover by a woman can be easily removed with money than poverty displayed!
No toad will stay too long in a very hot spot. What is the essence of love without the adequate substances needed to sustain the affairs?
Really, the vast mansion of the devil is located at the last bus-stop next to the lake of fire! Money will always be the best defender for the desperately hustle-woman in the city of love anytime.
In the past, music was the food of love to taste, eat and digest. But today, money have take the league and won the big trophy.
''No Money, No Love'' is the new song by The Toad inside the stream!
Two lines crossed each other. They aged-politician was thirsty and crying for love, the pretty Yetunde is clamouring for money. Which is which?
Can there be the true love again without the influence of dollars?
The root of all sins was about to be uprooted. Who will be around really to witness the downfall of the big Iroko-tree that is about to be cut-off by the batch of termites?
The remains will be for the vagabonds to witness and wrestle with!
Everything that will become of man tomorrow is solely in the hand of destiny. Only God can predict precisely how the future will be no matter or whatever may be the present experience!
All these awful-thoughts occupied the mind of Yetunde-the brand-new multi-millionaire as she pleasurably drove the latest edition
The black Highlander Jeep bought for her as birthday gift by her billionaire father-in-law recently. The trade of love and trends was taking another dimension on daily basis unchecked! The great excitement of being a millionaire got her highly lifted!
It was time to reach the house at last; Yetunde drove the vehicle of her choice to a halt joyfully! She stepped out rejoicing with Junior. What an unimagined automatic elevation in life? What a miracle for big testimony. However, Yetunde kept everything in her heart.
She was happy to repatriate her son back home from the grandparents of Segun at last and they are able to reach the house in peace.
Yetunde, the woman of substance and native wisdom comforted herself without any exhibition or announcement as she took Junior inside the house and met her well-fed husband waiting patiently at the lavished sitting room for their returned.
Segun remember what his politician father used to say:
''you do not stone back a mad person who hit you with a sharp stone. If you do you are not better than him. You are equally mad''
On sighting his wife, the arouse Segun gave Yetunde a super welcome kiss. He snapped Junior from her and whispers something to his wife immediately. The boy was taken inside the bedroom to continue his sleep instead of stumbling.
Earlier, because of desire for sex and libido production, he eats heart-healthy and antioxidant-rich foods like sawa fish, onions, dandelion leaves, beans and legumes that help to provide for smooth unforgettable thrusting in and out.
Segun amorously locked the keys to the entrance door, changed the white-light at the sitting room to blue. A plan was in the coffin about to be revealed. There was no ambient light to disturb them from the romantic for-play.
Undoubtedly, Segun was desperately hungry for the food of love with no fading taste at that moment. Yetunde got the message accurately and decoded it appropriately. She off her amulet and the high hill-shoes immediately; threw the min-gown on the floor. She became naked without any underwear on her. At the sight of Yetunde's graciously endowed sex organs, her erect nipples, standing breasts well pronounced for even the blind to feel and see.
The gallant Segun got sparked; he started breathing furiously like a racing dog thirsty to link water. He walked to the pretty queen and embraced her pleasantly. He planted a kiss on her neck which she responded to with alacrity.
The husband held her lovely tight and they began to kiss, sucking each other's lips recklessly. She moaned as Segun's tongue hovered around her lips to the neck and then to her succulent dangling full breasts. The two lover-ants were carried away in the fantasy of love.
Thereafter, Yetunde spread her fatty, smooth, fresh lapses wide-open on the centre-table for the speedy entrance of the natural rocky solid rod of Segun. The penetration was hot, sweet and smooth ever inside the naturally lubricated vagina!
The agile Segun descended on her and entered the wet inner room raw and deeply. She fluttered her eye lashes at him. They twist and tango with a scream to the rhythm! It was another game entirely that evening. The best food of love got served on the floor. The romantic game lasted for hours without any disturbance.
Like heaven-sent, it began to rain heavily outside. Yetunde blocked her ears to the taunting of the garrulous rain. She cheered and jeered as Segun lustfully but tactlessly tackled the soup of love in grand style that night till day break. They also had a raw sexual bath.
It was rolls of fantastic bites with different styles and funky versions exploded. When the woman got aroused or experienced orgasm, she sometimes laughs or cries uncontrollably.
The dream and reality of becoming a multi-millionaire kept ringing inside Yetunde's mind while dancing to the rhythm of love at play. All along, Yetunde kept remaining herself: The Secret is sealed: heavens cannot fall again''. In the sexual fantasy, that was uniquely strange.
Love like the law, are asses sometimes. Only God can shield light to the hidden secret!
Segun eroticized and enjoyed Yetunde that night as never before. '' I found a diamond'' He uttered afterglow.
That was one of the reasons while he delayed ejaculation but remained fused unlike in the past with less capacity to perform. He thought his hale performance on healthy Yetunde; a fat corpulent woman of taste like honey was ground breaking. It was all glee throughout the night.
The excitements and rhythms were too much to hold or let go like that. They were glued together like magnet. No stopping, no dull moment. It was like an Oliver Twist asking for more and more!
Yetunde fancy her husband's top gear actions on her. Yes, sex in a marriage relationship, when it's good, can be amazing! It was awesome. At brink of the sexual intimacy that had huge impact; the woman expressed her satisfaction:
''Dear, your performance was fantastic'' voiced Yetunde as they concluded the seventh round on the kitchen cabinet. They both enjoyed themselves to the uttermost. Everyone was glad and elevated.
At that night game, Segun felt great and praises her wife with these words:
'' There are many fine women and mothers in the world; but you are the best of them
All''
After the strenuous, intense sexual activity between the two couples that night with different kinds of styles; Tomorrow is another day!
No matter how delayed the night may be, the sun will rise at the day-break. No matter how sweet the music of love may sound; the record will fade-off at last.
No experience is made to last for life but for a while!
Indeed, the reunion of the two lovers cannot be captured enough. It was awesome moment while it last.

The Sealed Secret
It was a new day to start afresh, business for the week. The struggles for survival began in harness as usual. Madam Yetunde was able to maturely handle her new financial status.
Really, one can be rich without any unnecessary glamour or declaration that does attract the odds of life. It is a matter of maturity and prudent approach. Ego blowing could be a form of insanity.
The beginning of so many peoples' problem or hardship in our society could be traced to wanting others to identify their status.
''Who will chase me out with the gun; or Get me to be kidnapped for a ransom. When they don't smell the odour of millions on my body?''
Yetunde thought aloud!
When a child makes strange fortune everywhere will be noisy for the world to share with mercilessly; but a prudent individual will not boost of anything! Money does not have relative or generation. If you make it, be wise; if not the money like a bird will grow wings and fly away.
Unknown to Segun the husband, Yetunde has made one hundred millionaires for herself in less than eighteen hours ago. The mother of Junior kept the news of - millions cash achievement mute and sealed for reasons.
The beautiful queen of fashions merchant did not disclosed anything to Segun her beloved despite the closeness. But if critically observed, it was clear from her mien that she was pleased with life beyond ordinary, God have answered her prayers invariably. She was experiencing a better life as a woman of substance!
''Surely, the churning of milk bringeth fort butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife'' says in Proverbs 30:33
The final escape from the viscous bondage of poverty arrived for Yetunde by the grace of God. She had all causes to be grateful to the creator and rejoice. She hopes to name her next child ''Rejoice'' or ''Goodness'' if possible.
Yetunde was fully ready to face her life and business squarely more than before. She wanted to make roadmap and suitable blue print that will make her generation never smell poverty again for life. The unique opportunity for such proposal was been given with the one hundred million naira parting gift in her custody. She needs to promptly seize the chance. What is worth doing at all is worth doing well.
With good wealth Insights, the foundation of fortunes could be created from little cash. Yetunde, in one of her consultations with university of Ilorin authority informed them on how University of Ibadan invested a sum of twenty five thousand naira to purchase shares in a multi-national company years back, and the value today worth over One hundred and fifty billion. Definitely, Yetunde's brain was task and sparked for rightful investments search immediately.
According to the history of wealth, if Aliko Dangote could become the richest man in African merely thirty year of a loan support of five hundred thousand naira from Dantata his uncle. Then 100million naira is more than enough to make a new story in life.
Also, If Senator Jimoh Ibrahim could be a comfortable billionaire of note from mere seventy million naira realised from organising seminars for the local governments in Nigeria during NYSC [National Youth Service Scheme] after his graduation from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife in Osun Sate, then the One hundred millionaire is a big ticket to serve as the springboard for lasting wealth heritage that will become global and be suitable for decades and generations. Yetunde had these thoughts and she wanted to make the next history in the hall of fame like her business mentors.
Yes, it a Monday, a day recognized traditional as the day of cash fortune making among the Yoruba's.
It is one of the special days to be managed properly. Being the first day of the week as well, Yetunde was ready to catch-up with time.
In some business circles, how your Monday is will determine the rest of the week in terms of results. However, the mother and business woman of substance understand vividly that Riches can disappear fast. The king's crown does not stay in his family forever. She made her mind to start watching her business interests closely; despite the busy schedules and volume of tasks involved.
A fool's compliment is as quickly gone as paper in fire!
Yetunde got to the sitting room with her bag and some documents.
''Good business resolutions are like babies crying in church. They should be carried out immediately''
She was about leaving the house for her business out located at Ring Road side of Ibadan. She was hale, happy and artful. She dressed elegantly. She looked fresh and gorgeous in appearance that morning.
Madam Yetunde, the CEO of Good Destiny Concepts Limited; was in blue guinea brocade blouse and wrapper with a flowery headgear to match. The day looked so special with her appearance. The outfit was one of her best business attires! She felt on the top of the world as a brand new multi-millionaire unannounced to the masses.
On sighting his wife, Segun brain got sparked. He almost wanted her for a fast fresh early rise romantic play like they did the other time.
Haba, Segun did not see the first day of the week for something more serious than making love with the woman. Segun would be taken for complete gentle man of mild manners who could hardly hurt a fly, and in whose mouth butter would not met. But when making love, he behaves like a horse that is never tired of the race.
To the business woman understanding, the Iroko tree that we should have jointly hewn at infancy has almost grown beyond containment.
Yetunde was amused. The agile woman had another serious new agenda already and the very damn thing must be done on time.
Regrettably! Can you imagine? The son of Ibadan billionaire who got it wrong on Monday morning! Yetunde instead appeared half-hearted to the silly demand from her unserious husband who failed to identify what next. Forgetting that time and tides waits for nobody in particular.
Both Segun and Yetunde could be regarded as husband and wife living together under the same roof. They are no longer operating at the same frequencies. They were at logger heads. Yetunde at that moment saw Segun as queer with antics. Their thoughts and feelings went apart already. Yetunde was only tolerating him all the while.
The deplorable situation could be likening to the story of a woman crying bitterly for not having assiduous husband; while the child is crying for not having food to eat at the same time. What a great contradiction!
Sometimes, Segun the father of Junior often reasoned like a street urchin when he ought to bring his education to bear on matters. The difference between Segun and Yetunde was getting wider and wider on daily basis. It was clear and glaring; but unnoticed by the blindfolded husband dwelling in the past and failed to face the reality of life fast and better.
''Well, hopefully he would readjust himself during his annual leave period anyway; and if not, it remains his sole-cup of tea to drink to maximum satisfaction'' Yetunde accessing her husband critically all inside her mind.
Obviously, Madam Yetunde meant business with the turn of events at present. She did not care to hoots nor prepared for any hazards ahead. After all, millions of naira has arrived for the Ekiti-woman; the only pain in the arse of love for her was Segun.
''Hold it Dear, I'II soon come back home to serve you better as usual'' Yetunde heck and told Segun as they departed with heart-to-heart romantic kiss.
Without any further delay, the pretty Yetunde left home to plan her new phrase of life leaving behind Segun and Junior to enjoy the rest of the day together.
Madam Yetunde got out of the ''The Innocent Villa'' a lavishly white house with distinction. She entered her well washed and polished gleaming black Toyota Highlander bullet-proof Jeep! All around her were radiating full joy satisfaction and happiness. Her state of mind was pleasantly full of goodies.
No doubt about that, Yetunde was extremely grateful to God that spared her life to taste and witness a new experience in life despite the poor background. It is God indeed that makes the poor to dine and reign with the kings. All glories to His Holy name!
Equally, she showered heartfelt deep prayers to her father-in-law and secret benefactor. The Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan, the father of the dark-skinned Segun!
'' So I could be this lucky in life as an orphan'' Yetunde confessed from the depth of her heart with tears of Joy rolling from the eyes.
''My prayers are answered without any preservation''
The rich wife boomed radiantly as she danced to the popular song:
''We are the World; we are the People!''
In the light of this glaring reality, Yetunde stepped into another ream of life starting from that Monday with One Hundred Millionaire Naira coolly settled inside her bank intact, sealed and reconfirmed! She saw the figures on her phone again and again.
The joy that occupied Yetunde's heart was without measure. She was highly delighted and strengthened in the new world.
She almost got herself mad of the excitements created. She was brain-storm how to butch it into varieties of versatile life time investments.
'' Your Business is what you do with your money. Money is good. Money is a blessing too! Money alleviates pains, sufferings and starvation. A lasting wealth requires a well planned investment. May your efforts to earn an abundance of it be crowned with success!'' Yetunde remained herself before stepping out of The Innocent Villa.
She makes her mind to give God the tenth percent of the whole amount. One of the strangest money making secrets that she read about inside the bestseller title: ''The Tenth Wealth ''written by Dr. Oyedotun Oyejide!
Indeed, this world is beautiful; Money can make life fine!
As the Jeep car about to leave the premises, Junior came out of the house to see her mother off with waves of hand:
''Bye..Bye?My Mummy!''
''Oh dear, I'II soon be back?have a nice day
Don't trouble your father?I will buy you snacks and ice cream!''
Yetunde responded to her son as she drove off in top speed to wrestle with the early Monday morning traffic-holdup.
She speeds off with the racing horse car happily. She headed towards Sango-Mokola road to by-pass the heavy traffic at the Oojo Express way end.
Now it was confirmed that when a woman is lucky enough to be married to a wealth family, fortunes will follow her on daily basis non-stop. The proofs are enormous for madam Yetunde to show.
9.
The Sealed Secret
The dark complexion Segun, the father of Junior began his long over-due annual leave eventually. He stayed behind with the son who is also on holidays and just returned from the grandparent's house where he spent few days.
The mother, Yetunde have left for her business at Ring road.
Segun planned his leave that way for reasons. It will give him the ample chance of overseeing his son's welfare while sorting things out with the family. Also, he needed a rest because of the stress encountered in his place of work due to tedious tasks and busy schedules.
The father was not pleased with his personal life that looks disorganised. He desired a positive change of life style physically and spiritually.
In addition, Segun realised that age is no longer on his size again. The lasted birthday was April 4, this year when he clocked 45! The lad is over forty years already. A fool at forty is a fool forever! In order not to end up being a fool, Segun must do something reflective about his life.
The best time to make hay is while the sun shines. To avoid things getting too late, it became imperative to do something now. To have a significant headway in life, one needs to be serious with himself and mean business as much as possible.
Claiming to be the first of a billionaire is not too good status to hold unto in the present dispensation. And that he had a nice identity in the society as the offspring of a former Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is just living in the past.
Leaving in the past glory is not ideal for any right thinking child or a promising lad like big Segun...a Chartered Accountant! Really, nothing happens without an action enforced.
Segun was not the only son of the Ibadan billionaire. Although, from a well to do family in one love. Yet, he needs to venture for himself and stop depending on the heritage of father who made from business and politics.
All these were realized by Segun. He was ready to rejig himself towards a better future. And no significant achievement can be made in this unique world without making tangible efforts.
''Nothing happens without an action enforced''
''To be Something, Do Something''
''If you must do it, then Do it Right'' -Segun was motivating himself serious!
He was an ardent reader like is rich father who was deeply rich in books and politics. Those who are reader and wiser to apply it will also live a better life. The wealth of knowledge in books is too rare for a fool to discover! Information is power anywhere in this universe!
At this annual leave, Segun made up his mind to search for and design the blueprint to follow so as to have a sustainable development. To be candid, the simple and easy going father of Junior was very bent, factual and realistic. He wanted to stop hedonistic life by all means before the end of his annual leave of forty working days that started that Monday morning in harness.
In Ibadan where most of the families and relatives of Segun lived were tough times for many. There was so much gloom and doom that if one is not careful one will be swallowed up in the negativity of times. The chartered Accountant felt as a father and husband, he needs to be more responsible. A planned life is a well spent life.
Segun felt it was high time he took proper stock and review of his behaviours for a better prosperous bearing. He desired a shining life experience. The life of first-born in the family counts a lot. It must be tailored strategically. If not, it will be from good riddance to bad rubbish!
All these facts and plain truth were down on Segun as he searched through some documents while Junior was very busy watching a video.
'' Yes, a tree is only strong as its root'' was the motivational message he read on his phone from one of the popular pastors based in Ibadan that operates prayer program tagged: '' The Turning Point''
Segun planned attending the next retreat at the prayer mountain with his family. He felt the need for it fast and better. More so that it is not enough to have outward, physical, visible growth. The inner unseen, spiritual or structural growth is more factual and vital for any child of destiny.
If you don't have a firm grip of your spirituality, a lot of good things you are naturally entitled to may be far from you!
Segun realised that Samson of the holy bible, a lot of lack of inner depth cut him short. ''Root down, fruit up'' Only depth and deep devotion can sustain a man even in the midst of an ungodly political class! All these thoughts inspired and engaged Segun for a while.
In addition, the husband of Yetunde picked from his mini-library, some set of motivational books to read and digest!
In the main time, Segun began to flash back and began to meditate on some of the instructions and life lessons derived from his beloved and supporting father:
In life, according to notorious, versatile guru of Ibadan politics with great fame and prestige!
''Only God the most supreme is One'' and Him alone should be abhor and worship sincerely in life. However, outside of God the most magnificence, there is nothing good for a man to have and processed that should be one or single again. Those who have one thing in most cases end up suffering in life. It only in ''One with God '' that you can be the majority!
Therefore my son, if you must have a house, you should not build one but as many houses as possible.
Likewise, if you must engaged in business for financial success or breakthrough; have chains of businesses that will always make you to be relevant no matter what may happy to the economy of our nation. Do not depend on a product to sell no matter the boom for now. Develop and sell variety of products and services. It will make you wiser later in life no matter the pains of the moment. Streams of income only come from many sources!
Life is in variety. Those who make fortunes in the world have many things to claim. You cannot be called a Billionaire if what you have does not worth billionaire in value or number.
Really, you cannot be comfortable millionaire in the society if your income is not in seven digits. Do not depend on one source of income if you do not plan to suffer financially. Frustration is not far from such an experience. Imagine, a man with a job instantly becomes jobless if sacked from the employment. Several people are in agony of life today simply because of their failure to consider multiple or streams of income. If you are searching for how to be financially successful or attain financial success in life?do not bother yourself too much; just start having multiple businesses. Use the principles of duplication and leverage. It works like a fire outbreak in the dry season.
Read not one book but many books in your search for information on any matter of importance in life. You will do yourself proud in the process. It will equally make you a reference point for other citizens.
Image the Holy Bible having not one word or one chapter but 66 chapters or 66 books-in-one. Why? No wonder, the Bible remained the bestseller book in the universe.
A man with only a child must pray and beg God very well. If not, God forbids oh! It takes only a strike of the devil to turn the portion of a woman with only a child to become a childless mother.
May you not have a bad experience of life?
Strife hard all times. Do what you can do to relief yourself from the avoidable stress of this world. Yes, no life without a problem; no life is problem free in the actual sense of it. The rich too also cry sometimes!
But notwithstanding, you can reduce, abstain, or manage your problem. Do not be greedy!
Nothing good for your life that should be One but many!
Have many things including many friends as your asset. Do not fail to share out of your wealth. Only what is shared will not finish! If the stock market is stabled; consider the purchase of shares in bulk or large for a reasonable return. Stop working all the time if you desire a freedom life in the future, but make your money to work for you in so many areas of life.
If you will live longer and not live to suffer, have good and well trained bonfire children that will be yours to claim and not set of vagabonds who will turn against your at old age for fussy reasons. Take good care of your health; your health remains your wealth! If possible too, have some tastes of investments in the health sector. The reason for this is that later in life people's health would be costly to maintain due to the present life style that is without disciple as regards the eating and drinking habit of the majority in the society. Be simple and moderate in your performances. Shorn any act of trying to impressing anybody; you do not need it.
Invest heavily in real estates and agriculture no matter how attractive or otherwise it may be in the society at the moment. They will prove you to be wiser later in life. Properties in good locations and Agriculture are lasting investments that never go out of fashion in life no matter the trends. Come what may, housing and food will be a relevant trend.
To be relevant all the time, read, read and read, do not be tired of getting knowledge or information. Be a friend of the Holy Bible and other sacred books to be developed spiritually. There is power in prayers and moderate fasting! Do not over do anything, if not you will suffer for it. Yes, you will make some mistakes, pardon and forgive yourself so as to move forward.
Above all, fear God and love your fellows. Never harm anyone to climb the ladder of life no matter how. If you do, something terrible
Will await you as payback!
''In life, you cannot claim to be a man if you have not wrestled and won a battle''
''And if you wait for perfect conditions you will not get anything done in life''
These were a recapture of some of what Segun learnt from his generous father when growing up in life. He was now fully ready to consider every word for a better experience that cannot be faulted.
'' Am glad that my passionate father told me all these insights when I grew up?Really, my father is one of the best fathers to have and be celebrated''
Yes, Segun got it as he wanted from the messages of his father as recorded and preserved for long.
''Now, I must be a Man, am ready to wrestle and win ?Why I attend ''The Winners Chapel'' for!'' Segun woke up from his slumber and got set in full force to a better approach to life as from that moment for the better future as desired and destined to be.
And like the prodigal son, he was heart bent ready to adjust in all area of his life no matter the cost that will be involved. Segun was highly resolute and there will be no going back again.
It is the day that you sighted misfortune that you arrange for its burial.. Nobody spared a mess to spread.
The mosquitoes that you strife by all means possible to kill today will not bite you tomorrow, never!
By gone is by gone.
Segun from that moment began to feel and experience a sort of re-birth in his life and body. It appeared as if he was about to start life afresh on a clean page and new chapter entirely. The past is gone and forgotten. The masquerade usually flings his garment towards the back direction.
As if some veil were being removed or tore off. He came to his senses and pitied himself for waiting so long till now. He was however grateful that it was not too late before making the u-turn from wayward journey of the past. It is better to be late than being the late. The sun in the sky at this time can still get the wet cloth dried!
Avidly, on that notable fresh Monday; while he was engrossed in the meditations and positive reorientation of his noble life without any disturbance.
At a point, Junior suddenly called the attention of his father Segun to the video: ''The Rotten Pot of Love'' they were watching at the sitting room.
''Daddy?Daddy?!!! That scene looked exactly like what happened on Saturday at grandpa's house when my mummy came to pick me!''
Junior exclaimed as he jumped out of the sofa-chair he sat on with a prompt attention at the giant life-size plasma TV hanged against the wall.
To gist the story, He needed a serious concentration from the father. His shoulders heaved immediately!
''What was it? '' Segun inquired from the restless boy. He became attentive to what the son wanted to say.
''My Daddy, I'II tell you everything!''
Junior said further in a serious mood.
Segun, the father first hollered at him.
''O K, am listening'' Segun responded as he lowered the volume on the TV set. Thereafter, he agog and listen attentively to what the inquisitive boy called Junior was about to say. The boy is never strange to his father. They are close with each other intimately well. Segun thought Junior could be funny and unrealistic sometimes. He was a kind of son that can easily create a storm inside a glass cup playfully.
Like an action replayed, that was how Junior began to narrate vividly what happened when Yetunde, her mother came to pick him up on Saturday at the grandparents' house in Agbowo, Ibadan.
Kudos to a child of destiny with blessed with a sharp memory and brilliant display of inborn talents and ability.
Acuity Junior did not hold anything behind from what he witnessed. It was reported like a trained and professional journalist. To be candid, the accurateness of the report was faultless and hard to wave aside.
The agile boy described the incident with perfect demonstration precisely all the secret love conversations and the accomplishing actions that was infused when his mother was with Segun's father. Repeatedly, it was an unflattering commentary.
Inevitably, what was hidden in respect of the infidelity of Yetunde was blown off openly by the reports presented by Junior in few minutes. Heaven was about to be scattered and scraped off with razor shaving blade. The father of Junior had a changed countenance immediately. Things were no longer the same with him. The blood pressure began to rise.
''No sane person will hear the pronouncement of death sentence from a judge in the court of law and start dance!''
Report of infidelity is highly sensitive and should be handled with greater if the home will not be destroyed. No matter what it may be and how it may be viewed; nothing is strange again we just have to manage it if that is it became of a relationship. Some happenings cannot be interpreted ordinarily with a perfect judgement. May be that was the more reason while it was written in the Holy Bible: ''Do not Judge; so that you may not be judged!''
Meanwhile, the highly string Segun bubbled with life on the findings from Junior that created a friction and peak on the first day of the week. The mountain was set ablaze on Monday. What a wrong business transaction.
The amazed Segun at first did not count serious what Junior was saying. But a clever boy like Junior cannot be taken for granted at all. ''Even they say, out of any rumour there are elements of the truth'' No man can be so trusted with a lady during the raining season when everywhere was too cold for comfort. And no domestic gas to use for warning or get hot water to bath with. ''We are all thieves when the house is empty of occupants'' says a Yoruba adage.
Segun thought otherwise. There is no small child again!
''Do you mean what you are saying?''
Segun interrupted. He was down, dazzled and confused! He was so emphatic about it that he banged the floor along. He was annoyed even to himself instead.
'' Yes Daddy'' I saw and witnessed it?My Mummy can't denied it''
Segun found the story to be unbearable truth. He planned to revenge. When no bad news is brought to the ears, the mind can never turned sad in anyway.
''Good news gives life and glamour while bad news brings sadness and downcast.''
''Grandpa kissed my Mummy like this'' Junior brilliantly demonstrated it passionately!
And he said in haste:
''Dear, thanks you for The Sealed Secret?.You deserved a compensation''
In fact, both his explanations and demonstration was accurate and precise. It looked tight and so difficult to trash without further investigations. It was like watching other version that could be re-tagged: ''The Pot of Rotten Love'' instead of the actual title:
'The Rotten Pot of Love''
The change is fitted. Segun needed it that way maybe.
''Haaaa, haaaa!!!...Junior?Junior?'' ''Do you know what you are saying?''
''Are you alright? '' Segun was trying to confirm from Junior
From the boy, a bad news with an odour that was difficult to smell occupied the air and everywhere became uncomfortable.
The sharp boy called Junior, eavesdrop like a little bird that tell the king everything behind the scene.
What was report about Yetunde and Segun's father as told by Junior was not only amazing but amusing too! Segun became furiously uncomfortable at the narration of Junior that was without missing words. He could not contain himself again. It looked like a dream to the dark skinned man.
Mr. Segun the husband of Madam Yetunde was puzzled, bitter and disgusted about it. He looked like someone dropped by vehicle at unknown location. He turned around like a hair cutter's chair to no one in particular. The way it came to be was mysterious to Segun.
With hazy memories, Segun from that moment regretted all his dealings with Yetunde in life.
''Could it be a faulty foundation or what? ''
''But when the foundation are destroyed what else can the Righteous do Again?''
He was getting more irritated about his entire life that was about crumbling like egg furiously thrown against a hard rock by an angry, hungry mad man in the scorching sun.
Havoc was created by the naughty boy that became too hard for a charms or spell. Heavens have let loose eventually! There is fire on the mountain with the thunderous blare of exploring bombs.
The rain with terror is about to fall. It will drop-down brim stones instead of water. The love relationship between Segun and Yetunde got marred by irregularies arising from Junior's report to the father.
The atmosphere turned hot and hazardous. Segun was extremely perplexed by the encroachment of the trust for Yetunde. He punched his head several times like an insane person who just got mad afresh.
''This is terrible?Oh! My God!'' Segun shouted repeatedly.
He was no longer himself. He became greatly sad with heavy heart like someone mourning the demise of his beloved. He was disappointed and grieved seriously. The destructive blast is ripped to explode. A backlash waits!
''No wonder that Junior resembled my father so much'' Segun recounted and lamented further.
''Could it be proved beyond all doubts that my father pregnant Yetunde?'' The frustrated Segun began to ask himself unanswerable questions in his self probing investigation concerning the infidelity.
'' How?how?How? '' He turned furious again with the risen temper.
Segun burst into a sorrowful cry. It was cry of life for the forty-five years old chartered accountant. He was weeping instead of having a rest. He grunted like a pig and scowled at Junior with haunted eyes.
He was deep in the sorrow?crying aloud like a baby in the mid-night. He was very aggrieved and agonized. Nobody was around to console the dumped and cheated son of guru politician except like little boy named Junior. The boy pitied Segun as he falls down weeping seriously and rolling on the floor. Water has entered inside the shell of the giant snail from behind. With the anguished look on the face of Junior who did all could to stop his father from the agony.
The blast of mountain explored heavily.
Indeed, they have removed child from the back of mad-woman. Every mother must run for cover immediately
Undoubtedly, the tail of python has been stepped upon by a careless dog. Trouble must vomit!

The Sealed Secret
''YOU can never tell a bad market day by the morning'' says the weather-beaten Igbo proverb!
Funny enough and unfortunately, at the evening time when Yetunde returned back home from her business. She was in high spirit without any premonition of what awaited her.
Unknown to her that her son Junior had let out the cat, the rats must run away fast. The uncharted boy blew the gaff completely with his inciting gibberish.
For the innocent wife, there was no place to hide.
Madam Yetunde entered her matrimonial home inside ''The innocent Villa''-a mansion built for them by the rich billionaire and her confided secret lover.
The atmosphere was tense and remorse. It was not friendly as expected. However, the aculeate woman assured lateness naturally triggers the hunger on that day which was unusual of her. Yetunde got home around 9.54pm in the evening which was odd and unusual of her. The good house wife was averted to night driving and reaching home late.
Really, she was still under some illusion that everything was normal inside the innocent villa that night.
''Sorry dear, some clients came when we were about to close shop that was why I sent the message to you through Whatsapp''
Yetunde was trying to justify the reason for her lateness. All the airs and graces did not touch Segun. The husband just nodded his head like agama lizard with deep breath. He looked wild and his heart beats rose rapidly! He did not utter a statement nor bother to read any phone message from Yetunde. He only frown his face totally. Yetunde expected Segun to make a response. Everything was just calm and cold.
Yetunde began to sense an awaiting trouble; she dropped her bag and move towards her husband saying:
'' Honey, let me go and shower first. You will eat and taste me tired!''
Yetunde lovely and softly expressed her apology to the husband to bury the hatchet.
Suddenly, Segun stood up in anger like a mad solider. He shouted on the top of his voice:
''l caught you today! Your hidden Secret has been exposed!'' He raised alarm.
Immediately, in a twinkling of an eye; he quickly rushed to jam the door and flung the key to a corner of the house. He drew out a sharp-cutlass from the back of the three-sitter chair. There was no way for Yetunde to unlatch the door again. It was locked already. The veil is torn off completely!
The sweet honey became spoiled and diluted with bitter leaves and watery gall! How smooth will it flows inside the mouth of the socked, innocent woman and the thirsty mother?
To the mother of Junior, it was like chewing with a sore tooth or trying to run on a broken foot!
Madam Yetunde was greatly shocked at the strange attitude and the pronouncement. The heebie-jeebies were untold and hefty! She was greatly astonished and perplexed.
Segun was very furious with harsh belligerent attitude.
''I kill you today; kill myself and this boy?unless you confessed the truth to me!''
''Now?now?!!! Who is the real father of Junior?''
The angered Segun became too dangerous to be confronted.
'' Is Junior my son or my father's child?'' The husband furiously asked with trembling sounds from a frustrated man.
The questions hung in the air. Segun, the beloved husband of Yetunde! Was greatly boiling, breathing heavily and sweating furiously.
The hassled Segun went wide, haywire and bulling like a seriously wounded lion inside the forest. He was desperately ready to butcher Yetunde. He was armed to finish the mother of Junior and ruined the family reputation because of the detected crime. Segun have never being so bullies before to that terrible extend in the past years.
However, as glaring as it was, the wife was caught napping immediately. She began aching and feverish. It was no longer a child's play to be handled with kid- gloves any longer. It became a grief matter to fester fast.
According to the counsel of Robert Greene, author of The 48 Laws of Power, that '' If one ember is left alight, no matter how dimly it smoulders, a fire will eventually break out''
The harried Yetunde was agape; apparently unsure of what to do next. She was reluctant to declare herself guilty! Also, the sensible woman was unwilling to make any pronouncement. She was not ready to unseal the sealed secret as promised. She endured to restrain from going full blast! But, is it possible to fight a war without casualties? But will Yetunde not be a victim of what Greene says in his publication:
''More is lost through stopping halfway than through total annihilation?''
Now which is better; to take the battle to the enemy's gate or to wait to be at the attacked by the enemy?
Yetunde sensed vividly that if the needful is not done without further delay; the consequences may be cataclysmic! Therefore, she must act decisively at the moment.
It is just like a cancer patient who is unwilling to face chemotherapy or surgery. It would get to a point that not only would he lose the part he is trying to protect; he would also lose the whole body as the cancer cells metastasise!
The fury of the king is like that of a roaring lion. It is usually very deadly or the hitherto highways to hell. The stall is broken; the horse must run away fast. When there is wide-fire inside the forest of terror, no lion stays inside the den parading to be the king of forest. God forbids bad thing!
At that moment, Segun have lost his senses and everything about him are scattered. He did everything in anger. Really, the father of Junior would battle anybody whenever he lost his hot temper like this. Therefore, Yetunde must cooperate and behave herself. If not, the frustrated man had blindly made up his mind to scatter and pour the salt inside sand. Who will be bold enough to prevent the mad bull-dog from barking? Yetunde was ill at ease at this stage inside the innocent villa that evening.
Only by confessing the truth of the matter without any preservation can save the unpleasant situation at the moment. Yetunde was about to vomit what she gulp already. She screamed for the danger insight.
Regrettably, Madam Yetunde regained her strength from the shock; and panicky rummaged through the body to explain what actually happened vividly between her and Segun's father before she got married. She apologizes profusely for her actions but stressed that she was innocently raped by Segun's father!
There was a build-up of exchange of words between the couples that night.
'' Are you sure that was the truth of the matter?'' Segun inquired! He was embittered. He was sad about his father's nefarious rape act! Yetunde in a shaky voice told exactly how it happened without her consent.
'' Yes my dear, it was your father?it was your father that raped me. I never planned it this way?You knew that I was a virgin before we met?!''
- Yetunde babbling with the confessions to Segun bulling! She was deeply soaked with a river tears; terribly sharking. She watched her husband carefully holding the hatchet with red-hot eyes. ''No matter how made a dog is, he will not take fire for any other objects in sight!'' says an adage.
Segun calm down. He stopped dragging the issue further.
'' It was not your fault really, but I need to confirm the true-father of this child before I bounce on my father'' He bluntly voice out.
Segun swoop down on Yetunde his wife.
'' Therefore, by tomorrow, we shall go for a DNA test and confirm the authenticity of the matter at stake''
- The husband pronounced as he left for the visitors room to sleep with Junior.. The rest few days were fraught with dangers.
In a decent society, nobody curses the king loudly and earn honour or big prestige in return as the dividend!...Never!!! Likewise, anyone that steps on the tail of a mad sleeping artesian dog has invited trouble.
An eagle have landed on the rope, things are no longer stable or ease for neither the bird nor the rope again. When things fall apart, the centre cannot hold any longer.
From that moment, Yetunde the beloved wife of Segun became too cold for comfort. Everything, everywhere inside the innocent villa became harsh and unpleasant for the able-wife.
Indeed, it appears as if the entire globe was against. The earth around appears speedily rotating and unstapled. The universe was like about to crash and scatter in the Atlantic Ocean. Her eyes were seen double with sparkling stars!
The past mistake was digging deep. The racing bike has lost control on top-speed towards the lagoon without a break to hold it back.
The hell prison walls have broken loose, the streams of hot fire from the lake was about to consume the universe into ashes. What a bombshell!
Yetunde have committed an abomination. The hidden atrocities have turned into an unpleasant episode and have exploded. What will be the saving grace to clean the mess of shame? Will Segun temper justice with mercy for goodness sake? Can the lad behave maturely as a husband by allowing love and forgiveness display their virtues' at this hour?
'' O My God! Oh My God!!!
''My Dear, Please! Please!!....Please!!!
Yetunde kept shouting and pleading repeatedly before Segun that have put on the red garment of bitterness and anger with the sharp-shining cutlass set to maracas his wife mercilessly like the Sharia marshal. There was nowhere to run to since the door was tightly locked.
Clearly, Yetunde ran into bad luck with the terrible, unpleasant reports of her son called Junior. He had created the unexpected troubles being faced by the mother.
Yes, no single wisdom can be relevant for life. A man never knows when she is going to run into bad luck. She was like a fish caught in a net or a bird caught in a snare. Now down on Yetunde that wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one rotten apple can spoil a barrelful.
Really, dead flies will cause even a bottle of perfume to stink! Yes, a small mistake can outweigh much wisdom and honour. Yetunde realised her mistake but it was almost too late to amend or adjust. When the roof leaks, the rafters begin to rot!
When the clouds are heavy, the rains come down. When a tree falls, whether south or north, the die is cast already, for there it lies.
Segun was almost deaf and dumb. Several thoughts ran through his mind that night. An adage says: ''When one is crying, the eyes are never blind'' The wailing of Junior cautioned the father for a while!
11.
The Sealed Secret
Segun was not happy. He was enraged and honestly vowed to recklessly deal with his wife over the blunder committed. He did not take the matter lying low at all. He did not want any word spoken by Junior to be wasted or lost.
Ideally, the heavens should have fallen, but the awaiting of DNA tests held the matter a little. Definitely, the DNA tests result exposure will make heads to roll.
What may be difficult to detected in darkness will be seen during the day-light eventually.
Like the speed of light, ten days after; they went to collect the result of the DNA tests done. It eventually proffered the solution to the problem on ground. But unfortunately, these are days of anomie when folly becomes bliss. One day the truth shall prevail!
Actually, the validly made interpretation of the DNA tests confirmed Junior to be the real biological son of Yetunde. However, Segun could not be traced to be the father but somebody else unidentified!
What a great astonishment! The gourd is innocently broken eventually with the palm wine inside gushing away.
To be candid, Yetunde became extremely too cold for comfort. The terrible findings created further frictions to the family. In fact, if the mother of Junior had her way earlier, she would have bribed the medical laboratory operators to tapper with the results of the DNA tests in her favour and trash out the result.
There is no results or investigations that cannot be tampered with in this country where money is been worshipped.
Wahoo! The DNA tests further unravel the sealed secret. Yetunde was adjudged guilty. She became perplexed.
''Where lies the honour again?'' Segun inquired!
The hidden secret that was sealed has been shamefully unsealed by the DNA tests conducted. With the boy Junior, Yetunde and Segun's father had conspired of robbing Peter to pay Paul! They had polluted a fountain or muddying a spring of life. They have perfectly rubbed salt on wounds. What a pain too painful to endure.
Segun became more grieved, furious, depressed and frustrated. In the fit of anger, he decided to visit his parents together with Yetunde and Junior to make a report immediately. Things were no longer ease for the couples. The uproar was getting out of hands.
When they got to the grand-parents house, the heartbroken Segun abhorred his wife, He reported the heinous crime committed. The grand-parents were frightened. Segun explained and exposed the heart trending scenario bitterly. He was as bold as a lion during the confrontation with his father on the rape report. The finger of accusation was pointed at Segun's father by his son!
Segun's father denied the allegation outright. He firmly declared that nothing of such occurred between him and Yetunde. He feigned ignorance. The mother of Junior did not utter a single statement during the hot conversations. She looked like a sheep about to be slaughtered. It was a wrong time to weep again. Yetunde looked morose like the Pharaoh's chef locked up in the prison with Joseph.
The grandpa made attempts to acquit himself from the accusation.
''No?.No?.No!!! He was emphatic.
Segun's father insisted boldly,
For the sake for peace to reign, grandma the mother of Segun waved into the matter. She appealed to the parties concerned to hold on until the following day. She informed the people involved to allow dialogue a chance. With better understanding, all issues can be resolved. What a woman, what a mother?
The arrangement was that Segun's father would also go for DNA test so as to eventually ratified the issue and allow the storm to settle.
They all agreed and departed without further argument or noise making. The rest days were full of deep sorrow, grief and restless with bitter nights for Yetunde.
When the garment of masquerade caught fire; soonest the face of the man inside will be exposed!
''Oran de'' Trouble have arrived!!!''
Even though, there is nothing strange again under the sun. Troubles have gathered momentum with the alleged accusation of infidelity with Yetunde by her husband.
The uninvited bulldozer began roaming and about to pull down strong holds. Who will intervene and stop the wicked machine from further damages? How can the abnormalities become normal and overlooked? Who will tackle the strange demon of destruction?
The brave billionaire was utterly confused and dejected beyond normal. He bothered to find a visible way of escape from the alleged shame and the likely consequence. He was not courageous enough to stand the shame of his dreadful mistake. The hurt could not be endured any step further.
The skull of an-aged old man is better than the face of shame without any cover cloth. Yes, instead for the earth to be declared dead; it will be found barren or futile!
There is no tight-corner or blockage for elephant from entering the swamp. The transition of an hero cannot be a mere passage without the rites. The ''Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan'' acted otherwise like a native citizen overnight.
A door will either open inside or outside. It is a matter of convenience or safety! Nothing goes for anything in life.
Drinking a hot water without a bit of caution will definitely bring terrible pain and disaster to the throat with the stomach not spared or escaped. Definitely, whatever affected the eyes negatively will have side effect on the nose. There is no escape route for the rat caught red-handed inside the roof of cat domino on a black Friday!
The hidden secrets have been blown open by Junior and no remedy at sight to cover up with. No hidden place for the billionaire on the matter. The defence is weak and does not hold water. The DNA test proposed to be done the following day does no guaranty any palatable results. It will only worsen the matter as seemed and calculated by Segun's father that evening before he left for his bed-room lonely. He was confused, frustrated and badly dejected.
The dice is cast. The harm can't be prevented any longer! The knife has cut-off the fingers of the baby already; throwing away the knife does not make any sense again!
The dance of shame does not have collective dancers this time around. Life is made to be that way. Each person would face his fate in life. Your cross, whether heavy or light would be carried by you alone when the time for such ordeal arise.
Only Jesus Christ; the lord and saviour of humanity, had a helper who gave helping hands in carrying the Cross of salvation when He was on the Way to Calvary
The guru-politician was left to dance to the unpleasant tune of The Sealed Secret that was unsealed and exposed openly. The sky is darker without white linens. For how long will it tarry?
The appeared images on the standing mirror looked rough and rugged! Something needful should be done without further delay. If not, the aftermath will be too terrible to bear.
For a blame to have dignity; it must be put on scanty individuals and not everyone. All cannot be found guilty of a single offence that was committed out of volition by the billionaire politician!
Segun was seriously sad and unhappy with his father for the disheartening story he heard. It was unfair, criminal and bestial for his father having secret love affairs with Yetunde.
The woman and mother of Junior got confused further for days by the tough games of lawful identification she was playing with Segun. She resumes participation on daily basis until the game was over by the blow of whistle and the red-card displayed.
A beggar may not have a choice; but we can give the beggar a chance!
The following morning, anguished Segun came to carry his political father for DNA tests. The story changed. The man was found completely stone dead inside his bed room without any notice or message behind. What a ruse! The eagle had gone to the rocky mountain top to shed its feathers earlier than the time.
The flying clothes hanged outside must not be allowed to be blown off by the wide-wind. If not, it will be out of reach again! The smiles and the laughter have seized, there is no time to open the 32 white teeth again.
The aunt has carried a heavy load that weighted it down to a stand-still already. The person that greedily swallowed mortal with stones will not have a peaceful rest throughout the night. That's the more reason why the monkey needs to be extremely careful not to climb the rotten and rusted tree anyhow!
The needle will be too small for the Ostrich to hide away from the mad-hungry and wounded lion in desperate search for a prey to devour.
When the shepherd is attacked unprepared, the flock will scattered in different directions eventually. Segun, Yetunde and the billionaire grandfather of the boy called Junior are all in troubles. The dimension may not be the same anyway!
Yes, with the sudden death of Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan in his sleep and discovered in the early morning of that day. The great eagle has flown away; nobody can sight clearly the big bird again, only the feathers are visible from far distance!
Really, the brave billionaire of Ibadan could no longer be bold enough to stand and dance to shame of his grief mistake.
That was the end of the fizzy. Nowhere to go further again; to fight the injustice. Who will provide the candidate due for DNA tests now?
The future became peak, hacked, ruined and scattered as a result of the eyesore.
Due to the dwindling love, the golden ring of engagement on Madam Yetunde's left hand finger got stained and broken. It became too tight to be fixed again. The heartbroken Segun had already removed the patriot icing ring and flung it out of the window into a far distance inside the muddy bush behind the innocent villa.
Really, with the anguished Segun; the silver cord of love snaps and the golden bowl is broken with the pitcher at the foundation. The innocent inside the villa was found guilty of an error. The wheel of intimacy got broken at the cistern.
What went wrong cannot be righted. It is water over the dam or chasing the wind! What will be the right solution to the plight of anguished Segun?
Surely, Segun's father made absurd mistake that was an indication of political rascality and irresponsibility. Truly, the shifted blames was not for innocent Yetunde to suffer for alone.
The binding love between the two couples got deflated and faded out like the balloon punched with a fury blow. The initial intimacy and hot loved accord got broken and too cold for comfort like the wet nose of the dog. It was like the jacket stolen in cold weather!
Indeed, ''Omoye'' had entered the public market completely naked and furious; no cover cloth can cover the shame any longer!!!'' says an adage.
The city of love with the headquarter base inside the innocent villa have turned a Babel arena for blames and shame! The inhabitants are detected and rejected. The pride of yester-years suddenly turned to chronic pains of the moment with regrets and curses!
The songs are no longer pleasant in the ears to be listening to by gainful lover on the stage. The next scene must quickly be presented if not the odd odour can break the stomach.
The vehicle of love chartered to carry both Segun and Yetunde suddenly had terrible accident on top speed. Hope the wreck will not claim lives? Is the boy Junior that seated at the back of the car safe and unharmed?
The mindless bleeding heart is set blazed with hot fire. Hope the rain water about to fall would be enough to quench it?
When the egg is not handled properly-well, there would be no remedy if found dropped against sharp-stone on the path being truckled by the careless intruders who are not mindful.
The citizens have been packed out of the houses forcefully when it was raining heavily outside with floods everywhere. Mercy and favour have definitely run to the mountain top to hide without any notification.
The frustrated Segun was highly grieved and resulted to fate. He was hell bent and furious. With no mercy or compromise, he took a drastic decision by packing every of Yetundes' belonging out of the innocent villa together with Junior her controversial son. All the attempts and actions were to put the situation in proper perspective.
Undoubtedly, Yetunde was made to pay for her sins likewise Segun's father.
Since Yetunde was not innocent again! Therefore, He bundle them all to his fathers' residence because of the atrocity committed.
The harm has been done: Is cutting the head best solution to headache in life?
Will the opposition's tears be variously pooh-poohed as crocs?
However, the anguished mother and no nonsense grandma did not accept the mess at all by barring his fangs against the wife. Yetunde and her son were not welcome into the premises.
She kicked them out forcefully. The aged woman lambasted the wife of Segun with annoying curses. The broom of justice by grandma started sweeping vigorously. The triggers were terrible and deadly. Yetunde gibbers became a subject of laughing stock, mockery and ridicule.
She was barred because of the incident. She has been suspended from the innocent villa any rectification or second chance. The burden and troubles became too morose to bear for the weaker vessel woman and mother of Junior. No more excitement. The atmosphere was tense without any affection or compromise.
The tough woman grandma closed the iron-gates against estranged Yetunde and her only son on that dark day. She threw them out furiously from the premises littering heavy curses of agony in form of disgrace.
There is time for everything. When the fried beans-cake is fresh and hot; the seller will largely announced for patronage confidently with a pleasant voice. Even the buyers would be attracted by the scent or aroma of the bean-cakes! But when the bean-cakes turned cold like the nose of dog hardly will anybody be interested in the pick-up bean cake snacks for curtail or dinner any longer.
Yetunde's time appeared ran-out with the sealed secret saga and the pushed off from the innocent villa by her beloved husband due to the aroused controversy of the real father of Junior who sparked the crises with his troubled secret report to Segun.
Also, with the demise of Segun's father whom left the world suddenly without any notice; coupled with the hostile attitudes been displayed by the mother-in-law and grandma. They have dis-owned Junior and his mother outright. Who will then defend and claim for the innocent boy his birthrights and privileges?
No child without a father; only the identity may not be well defined immediately
With enough patience, the eyes will sight the nose clearly. The odd behaviour of a vagabond-child would differentiate him from among the peers.
Only God will be in the best position to adjudge rightly the man that decided to divide the roasted meat for others using the inner teeth of the mouth instead of the sharp knife made available.
We have all mastered the tricks to putting a tasty meat inside the mouth and declared it missing instantly. There is no magic in such a pact again. A hungry person may not be interested or ready to hear anything else again.
Whenever the devil decided to have a small child; No demon would stop him at all. But such a child will never bear good name thereafter. That is double sure.
At the same time, no wrestle or fight can give birth to any innocent child?.if not a club; it will be a sword or big blow!
Nobody will force a man to remove his clothes when a spark of fire got inside it by mistake, sloppiness, carelessness or sheer incompetence! It would be a sudden dance like afresh mad man about to enter the public-market inside the scorching sun.
The huge heritage of Segun's father worth billions should not be shared among the few. The innocent child called Junior should not be deprived from having a portion no matter how small or otherwise it maybe.
The Blood should be thicker than water! But Yetunde and her son are in the minority; so they were cowered out of the innocent villa like a stranger.
Meanwhile, hopefully, the dead billionaire's written will would indicate when ready! Injustice to one should be injustice to all!
Unfortunately, that was how Yetunde got out of the wed-lock without alimony. However, she became single mother with multi- million Naira inside her bank account for spending!
Aftermath, she faced the peril of dishonesty and payback. The grief and pain became too difficult to banish.
''The racing horse entered a gallop; gall-stones are offered as meal for the riders''
The most unfortunate aspect of this matter was not palatable for the breakaway woman any longer. All efforts by Yetunde to get married again failed woefully. She could no longer experience any stable or lasting relationship as desired with any man again.
What a pain in vain! Where is the outlet from the frustrated closet?
The last man Yetunde met only moved with her for mere four months before they departed in the midst of very serious ranked punching like that of Tyson!
What will be the atonement for the removal of the curses inflicted?
Who shall be held responsible for all the blames?
Can the spell be erased again?
