LOVE RUNS

LOVE RUNS?
what would you do?


Our first date was so special that 30minutes seemed to be like 30 exciting years until the 31st minute when she asked a question, the very same one she asked before we agreed to set up this date. The look in her lovely eyes had changed from all the excitement shared to one that searched my inner man, the rays emitted from them caused the red wine to burn in my throat.

"Do you Love me?" She asked.

Slowly dropping my glass I tried to match her loving gaze and professed my undying love to her. Unconvinced, she giggled softly, I felt it tingle in my heart but her gaze still searched my countenance.

"Let me put it this way", she said using the serviette tenderly. "If a big, bad, hungry lion should show up right here, right now, what would you do?" She asked

I tried to put up what I thought turned out to be a smirk but when her starry eyes sparkled, I knew I had successfully beamed a smile. Then I reached across the table and gently took her hands in mine. A second's silence was all it it would have taken for me to realize that she was already assured by the gesture but for my mouth. I always had something to say, and often times, the wrong ones.

"I would run...I would run far, far away!" I stammered

"How could you...!" Disgusted, she tried to shrug my hands off and for the first time in the last 5minutes, I was able to match her stare. So gentle was mine and my voice calm as I spoke.

"Far away will I run... if you truly love me, you will run with me" 

Now we both had our hands to ourselves and something to think about. Was I to tell a lie to win her love? Now the truth has been told, I might seem small in her eyes.
She was still seated there expressionless and all I could do was sigh.

Well! In the end she'll run.
Perhaps with me or... sighs!

Guys what would be your answer
Ladies what would be your response

7 Nigerian Artists in Posession of the gift of Prophecy

Image
The year 2020 is just in its second quarter and my word you must admit that plenty has happened already. Prophesy here, scientific calculations there, the turn of global events are really disheartening that you might not be aware of things coming to pass right under your nose. Some of these prophesies weren’t uttered by the usual foretellers and because their kind of messages are always passed with a groove and a beat, many might not take them serious until they are hit with that nostalgic feeling of reality. In this post we will be looking at Nigerian artists in possession of the gift of prophecy. Tiwa Savage The adorable singer has been around the music scene for a long while hitting it big with de crème de la crème of the industry. In 2019 she released her single, 49-99 which I must say is full of cryptic messages from the song title to various clips in the video. If you don’t believe, the O-trek series in February 2020, when the Lagos state government banned the use of certain vehi...

Michael Jackson & 4 Artists Who Sang Songs by Extra Terrestrial Inspiration.

These songs are referred to as Music for Matured Minds or MMM’s for short because they have the ability of tickling our faculties of thought, transposing one through realms of intense sensations and reflections of love, pleasure, and excitement. It maybe that these songs are so because they are the intellectual property of talented artist or perhaps, they are craftworks that have been aided by rays of inspiration streaming through the multiverse into our planet. Here is a rundown of our top five; 5. Michael Jackson- Hold me: Being one of the most influential figures of the 20 th Century, the king of pop and a superstar of global reckoning, it is little wonder no one really knew the depth of his heart where this song came from. Michael must have truly been blessed to be at his prime in an age without the advanced social media we now have. His fans across the world only knew him for the side he was so determined to display on stage, his electrifying performances and evergreen ...
