Aisha was worried sick after her husband failed to answer his phone at past midnight. That was the umpteenth time she would be calling him and she was really beginning to lose it. Martins had called her during work hours to inform her that he would be running late. But Aisha never envisaged the lateness Martins talked about will be ...

Solonzo’s appearance at Realty Point Limited frayed some nerves and raised suspicion. He knew where he was headed and he needed no guide. He had even walked past the reception without looking in the direction of the front desk officer. Though, not too many persons had seen him walk into Martins’ office, the MD saw him leave. Solonzo brushed shoulders ...

Martins was pleasantly surprised. He had seen Ada excited, upset and exasperated but he had never seen her laugh before. She laughed now, amused at the question but more at the pathetic look on Martins face and Martins enjoyed the sight. The woman should laugh more often. It made her look very pretty. “Martins, go home, I’ll see you tomorrow,” ...

Human beings were naturally ingrained with the instinct to survive, to exonerate self and shelve responsibility when the chips were down.

Deji was laughing at the so called plan Martins had while Martins stood, arms akimbo, a quizzical frown on his face. “What’s funny about what I said?” Deji tried to respond but only laughed out harder, annoying Martins who hissed and turned his gaze away from him in exasperation to the different happenings on the street.

He perused the menu as the waiter stood patiently beside him, waiting for him to place his order. It wasn’t that he was indecisive about what to order, it was his pocket that cried out in protest. How could a N50 bottle of water cost N500?! Wetin happen? He thought as he glanced at the waiter who was still standing ...

“Where have you been in the past one week?” Martins demanded as he opened the door for Deji who removed his shirt as soon as he came in and slung it over his shoulder. Martins was also bare-chested. The weather was hot and as usual, there was no light. “Anything to eat? I’m hungry,” he stated as he walked to ...

“Yes! Yes! Yes!” Martins shouted over and over again after his first reaction. He turned excitedly to Ada and the others who were looking at him curiously. “He’s buying five plots,” he stated proudly. It was Ada’s turn to rejoice. She clapped her hands in excitement and nodded her head in approval, beaming. “You did it! I can’t believe you ...
