Omoshalewa ⁣ 👇⁣ ⁣ Their orders arrived and they began to eat. Tunde was almost done with his meal when he spoke up. “Shalewa, why are you keeping me in suspense? What’s the problem?”⁣ ⁣ Shalewa dropped her fork and looked at him. “Well, I had no intention of spoiling your dinner; that’s why I decided to hold on till you were done.”⁣ ⁣ “I’m all ears.” He said; looking at his plate as he tried to cut a piece of chicken.⁣ ⁣ “I need a break.”⁣ ⁣ Tunde put the piece of chicken in his mouth as he nodded, looking up at Shalewa. “A break? Why don’t you discuss with your dad. He may give you some time off.”⁣ ⁣ “That’s not what I mean, Tunde. I wasn’t referring to work. I mean a break from this relationship.”⁣ ⁣ Tunde’s eyes widened. He dropped his cutlery gently and took a sip of his drink. “A break from me?”⁣ ⁣ “Well, if you would rather put it that way.”⁣ ⁣ “Our wedding is in a few weeks.”⁣ ⁣ “I am aware of that. The more reason why I need a break.” Shalewa said as she looked at him straight-faced.⁣ ⁣ “But…but Shalewa, what went wrong?”⁣ ⁣ “I just need to sort out my feelings.”⁣ ⁣ “I thought we were past this.”⁣ ⁣ “No, we weren’t. We never were.”⁣ ⁣ Tunde was confused. “But you agreed to marry me?”⁣ ⁣ “To satisfy you and my dad. Have you forgotten so soon?”⁣ ⁣ Tunde pushed his half-eaten plate of chicken aside and held Shalewa’s hands on the table. “Please don’t do this to us. I love you.”⁣ ⁣ Shalewa pulled her hands from his grip. “Tunde, don’t make this more difficult than it already is. I can’t continue to live a lie.⁣ ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ Read Omoshalewa on my blog by clicking the link in bio.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #olubukolasthoughts ⁣#olubukolasthots #omoshalewa #romancewriter #africanfiction #naijastories #nigerianauthors #nigerianfiction #instablogger #instawriter #naijabooklovers #authorsofinstagram #readergram #bookstoread #bookblogger #blogsofinstagram #africanwritersoninstagram #africanfictionwriters #ebookreaders #booklovers #ebookstagram #writersinnigeria #authorsofig #romancewritersofinstagram #africanwriters #writersnetwork #authorscommunity (at Nigeria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJbuaKAl3y2/?igshid=892hdewknc0j

This heart-wrenching novel is now available on amazon. Get yours today!

A novel for black boys who will not reform... and the black women who will not wait for them.

In this equilibrium of light humour deep-hitting shockwaves, Gudani Raulisa weaves a heart-wrenching tale of gender disparities against an apprehensive backdrop of cataclysm and student politics, eliciting key reflections on the state of gender relations in our society. Ever wondered what those shameless, supermarket gawkers do alone at night after tailing behind you into every aisle, occasionally knocking a few cotton ball packs so they could pretend to be picking them while looking up your short, flippy dress? This book is a disillusioning account of the thought processes of perverts, otherwise spelt as “men,” and of the male company innocent girls sometimes like to keep. But there’s more: Lessons Lessons for men who believe women should help them recrimp their effed up brain connectors, and that lesson is that women don’t owe you jack. 

Get it on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/dp/0620790067/...

Excerpts from Omoshalewa ⁣ ⁣ “Thanks for the lunch, ma. It was nice.” Tunde said as they all stood up from the dining table and moved to the living room.⁣ ⁣ “You are welcome, my dear and I hope you visit more often.” Funke answered smiling.⁣ ⁣ “On Shalewa’s request, I would.”⁣ ⁣ “You do not have to wait for Shalewa’s consent to come over.” Bayo Samuel said matter-of-factly.  “This is like your second home. Remember, your late dad and I were buddies way back in the university. You are free to visit anytime.”⁣ ⁣ Tunde nodded his head.⁣ ⁣ “Shalewa, your mum and I would be in the study so you can have some time to catch up on old gists with Tunde.” Bayo smiled as he led his wife out of the living room.⁣ ⁣ “Okay daddy.” Shalewa answered, not appreciating the gesture. What gist did she have to catch up with Tunde? There was no history between them, so what was there to talk about?⁣ ⁣ They both sat down on opposite ends of the room watching the television. Since there was no history between them and they had nothing to talk about, they discussed about the issues on the television. Shalewa tried to be a good host but wondered if her parents knew that she wasn’t enthusiastic about their match making efforts.⁣ ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ Read the rest of this story by clicking the link in bio⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #olubukolasthoughts ⁣#olubukolasthots #omoshalewa #africanauthors #romancewriter #africanfiction #naijastories #nigerianauthors #bookoftheday #naijawriters #bookstagrammer #writersnetwork #instablogger #bloggersofinstagram #bookblogger #storyteller #readergram #authorscommunity #africanwriters #creativewriters #wordsmith #africanfictionwriters #ebookreaders #ebookstagram #writersinnigeria #naijabooklovers #naijablogger (at Nigeria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHdvOzuFEe5/?igshid=7pi5xs7ikigk

Excerpts from Yesterday Lives⁣ ⁣ Oghogho and Onome were still seated in the waiting room.⁣ ⁣ “How she dey now?” Oghogho asked Ayo as he walked towards them.⁣ ⁣ “She is still very weak. She is sleeping now.”⁣ ⁣ “You tell her?”⁣ ⁣ Ayo shook his head.⁣ ⁣ “E good as you no tell her now. Make she get strength first. Wetin you wan do? Nobody must get belle for our house oh. Na because Madam no want belle, be the reason why she say we no fit get boyfriend.”⁣ ⁣ Ayo blew air through his mouth. “I don’t know. I will think of what to do.”⁣ ⁣ “Guy, think quick quick so that doctor go remove am before Kevwe sef know as you neva tell her.” Onome said indifferently.⁣ ⁣ “Remove what?” Ayo asked; shock clearly written on his face.⁣ ⁣ “Remove the belle nau. Ahn….ahn…” Onome said.⁣ ⁣ Oghogho studied Ayo’s face carefully. “You no wan remove am?”⁣ ⁣ “Why would I do that? She’s carrying my child.”⁣ ⁣ Oghogho shook her head and followed it with a nod. “You be good man. But if she keep the belle, she no go fit continue this work.”⁣ ⁣ “I know that and I was trying to get her out of this….” Ayo spread his hands with a disgusted look on his face but stopped when he realized what he was about to say would seem insensitive to Kevwe’s friends.⁣ ⁣ Oghogho smiled. “No worry. I understand. All of us don tire. We jus no dey lucky like Kevwe wey get fine man like you.”⁣ ⁣ “Thank you.” Ayo said with a sad face. “Let me drop you at your place. I will come back and wait here till she wakes up.”⁣ ⁣ As Oghogho and Onome eased out of the car behind the house they lived in, Oghogho looked to the heavens. “Osanobua, make you send me good man like this wey go carry me comot from this house.”⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ Read this story on my blog by clicking the link in my bio. . . #olubukolasthoughts #olubukolasthots #yesterdaylives #africanauthors #africanwriters #africanfiction #naijastories #authorsofinstagram #bookstoread #bookblogger #blogsofinstagram #naijabooklovers #naijablogger #naijareaders #naijaauthors #nigerianauthors #nigerianfiction #romancestagram #romancewriter #writersinnigeria #bookstagrammer #bookaddict #storyteller #wordsmith #wordart #booksofinstagram (at Lagos, Nigeria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHGc7APFtYb/?igshid=1mcf4575wtm0b

The Wait – Chapter 1⁣ ⁣ “Do you Ajoke Omolewa, take this man, Enitan Boluwatife to be your lawful wedded husband; to have and to hold, to love and to cherish, keeping yourself solely unto him, to honour him, submit to him, forsaking all others till death do you part? If so, answer “Yes, I do.” The minister asked again, this time with some humour.⁣ ⁣ Ajoke opened her mouth but was unable to form the words the minister, her family members and Enitan waited to hear. Her eyes were trained on the man who had just walked into the registry and sat quietly at the end of the hall. He had walked in unnoticed but Ajoke’s attention towards him was beginning to attract stares in his direction.⁣ ⁣ One by one, Ajoke’s family members comprising her father, her mother, her six elder brothers and her two teenage kids looked back to find out what had caught her attention. Enitan also confused at the sudden change in Ajoke’s mien looked in the same direction. He could not recognize the stranger and he wondered why the man’s presence had suddenly affected Ajoke. He turned to look at his bride and saw tears streaming down her made-up face. What on earth is going on? All of a sudden, there was commotion in the hall. Ajoke’s aged father struggled to get up, his face taut and his jaw set but Ajoke’s brothers were faster. The youngest of her brothers tapped her father on his shoulders and slid his right hand up and down his chest. Their father took the cue and relaxed in his seat. His sons were capable of handling the situation. The six brothers stood up one by one and marched towards the end of the hall. ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ Read the rest of this story by clicking the link in bio⁣. ⁣ ⁣ #olubukolasthoughts #olubukolasthots #africanauthors #thewait #nigerianauthors #nigerianfiction #instablogger #instawriter #naijaauthors #naijabooklovers #naijablogger #naijastories #nigerianstories #africanromancenovels #romancestagram #romancewriter #bookoftheday #africanwriters #africanfiction #authorsofinstagram #creativewriting #writersoninstagram #authorscommunity (at Lagos, Nigeria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CG3HIHBHBQx/?igshid=iqti8kh6bp30
