HAD I KNOW OF A 

WAYWARD TEENAGER

             BY

 KHADIJAT BABANSULE





Once upon a time, there was a teenage girl named Lola. She was a free-spirited and rebellious girl who loved to have fun and hang out with boys. Lola’s parents were strict and wanted her to focus on her studies, but Lola had other plans. She would sneak out of the house at night to go to parties and hang out with her friends.


One day, Lola met a boy named Mike. Mike was charming and handsome, and Lola was smitten. She started spending more and more time with him, and soon they were inseparable. Lola’s grades started to slip, and she stopped going to school regularly. Her parents were worried about her, but Lola didn’t care. She was in love.


One day, Lola found out that she was pregnant. She was scared and didn’t know what to do. She dropped out of school and moved in with Mike. Her parents were disappointed in her, but Lola was determined to make things work.


As time went by, Lola realized that being a teenage mother was not easy. She struggled to make ends meet and take care of her baby. She missed her old life and wished she had listened to her parents. She realized that she had made a mistake by not obeying them.


Lola’s advice to teenagers is to listen to their parents. They may not always know what’s best for them, but they have more experience and wisdom. Lola learned the hard way that following her heart and ignoring her parents’ advice was not the right thing to do. She hopes that other teenagers can learn from her mistakes and make better choices.

BRIDE TO BE BY KHADIJAT BABANSULE

  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 fallen in love and eloped, against the wishes of their families. They had faced many challenges in their marriage, such as financial difficulties, cultural differences, and family conflicts. 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. She ...

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, ...
