AGONY OF LOVE

 AGONY OF LOVE

BY : KHADIJAT BABANSULE



In the bustling heart of Ogun state, Kikelomo, a devoted wife and mother, found her world crumbling when her husband, Ajadi, announced his intention to divorce her. Despite her unwavering commitment to their marriage, Ajadi's eyes had wandered, and his heart had settled on a younger woman. Kikelomo's pleas fell on deaf ears as the man she had built a life with turned his back on their union.

The pain of abandonment was only the beginning for Kikelomo. In the years following the divorce, fate dealt her two cruel blows. She lost two of her four beloved children to illness, a tragedy that is all too common in parts of Nigeria where access to quality healthcare is a luxury. The loss left Kikelomo with a grief that seemed to overshadow even the bustling Lagos life where she settle down.


Amidst the heartache, Kikelomo's remaining children, Akin and Bolu, became her solace and her strength. She poured her love and hopes unto them, and through sheer determination and resilience, Akin amd Bolu thrived against the odds. they pursued education with a fervor that mirrored their mother's spirit, eventually becoming  successful entrepreneurs, beacon of hope in a community that had seen too much despair.




As Akin's success made headlines, Ajadi, now aged and worn by life's vicissitudes, reappeared with a heart full of regret. He sought forgiveness from the woman he had wronged, hoping to bask in the success of the son he had once abandoned. He returned as at the time Bolu who now lives abroad just got visa for her mum. Kikelomo, with a heart still tender from years of suffering, faced a choice between holding onto the bitterness of the past or embracing the possibility of a healed future.


The story of Kikelomo is a testament to the resilience of the Nigerian spirit. Her life, marked by love, loss, and the eventual triumph of her children, reflects the complex tapestry of emotions and experiences that define the human condition. In the end, Kikelomo's legacy would not be defined by the man who left her, but by the strength she showed in the face of adversity and the success of the children who embodied her indomitable will.

Do you want Kikelomo to reject the traveling offer and settle down with her Akin? 
your contribution will definitely serve as encouragement.

  Salma looked at her daughter Zara with a mixture of pride and worry. Zara was 20 years old and had just announced that she was getting married to her boyfriend of two years, Ahmed. Salma knew Ahmed was a good man, but she also knew how hard marriage could be, especially at such a young age. Salma had married Zara's father, Yusuf, when she was only 18.

They had also struggled to balance their roles as parents and partners, as they had Zara soon after their wedding. Salma had sacrificed her education and career aspirations to raise Zara and support Yusuf, who worked long hours as a mechanic. Salma loved Yusuf and Zara, but she sometimes wondered what her life would have been like if she had waited to get married. She wanted Zara to have more opportunities and choices than she did.

A drop of kindness. By Khadijat Babansule

  Once upon a time, in the bustling streets of Lagos, there lived a young boy named   Joshua . His days were filled with the scorching sun, the dusty roads, and the weight of a heavy crate of bottled water on his small shoulders. Joshua was a   water hawker , weaving through the chaotic traffic, shouting, “Cold water! Pure water!” His voice echoed against the high-rise buildings, but it seemed to get lost in the cacophony of the city. Joshua’s parents were  stage performers , eking out a living from their art. They sang and danced on makeshift stages, their voices rising to the heavens, hoping for a miracle. But life was harsh, and the applause faded quickly. They couldn’t afford to send Joshua to school, so he spent his days selling water to commuters, dreaming of a different life. The sun bore down on Joshua’s thin frame as he darted between cars, his flip-flops worn and tattered. His dreams were simple: a full stomach, a roof over his head, and maybe, just maybe, ...
