THE PASTOR'S WIFE 

EPISODE 12

Abigail's face had softened, her eyes misted over and for a moment, she was calm.

"I am going to be a real aunty for the first time in my life Ekom." she said tearily and smiled brightly at the same time.

"You are an aunty already mbok, don't let the kids hear that."

Lizzy called at that moment.

"Ekom, I am very close to your house, I had a long day already at work, so I decided to just come give you the injection at home and then tell you about something I discovered at the hospital."

"I hope all is well Lizzy?"

"very well, don't be scared." I ended the call.

few minutes later, I heard the horn of Lizzy's Car.

"She is here." Abigail said and immediately stood up to fix the throw pillows in place. 

Not Long Lizzy walked in, smelling of vanilla body spray. she was wearing jeans, a boot and huge cream colored sweater that came halfway down her thighs. 

She frantically looked around.

"Good evening ma." Abigail greeted.

"Evening darling, you look so much like Ekom."

"She is my elder sister."

"oh nice meeting you." Lizzy said as she nodded at her without quite smiling, a little sheepish.

"You look tired." I said.

"My day was hectic. David came to the clinic to get his son's test result. He came with Ifeoma and the little baby, you should have seen the look on his face when he discovered the boy is SS and he is AA."

"What?" Abigail screamed. 

I stared at Lizzy in disbelief.

"When he asked Ifeoma who the real father of the baby was, she started speaking gibberish. smh, give me ice water jare before my throat will burst."

Abigail rushes to the kitchen and runs out in a second with a bottle of water and a glass cup. Lizzy pours the water in the glass hastily and gulps it in her stomach.

"I hope you didn't tell him that I expecting a baby?"

"God forbid! am I mad? that idiotic human being called David doesn't deserve you." she said and sipped the water lightly this time.

"nawa o, this God is the biggest game player. Ekom you always said this." Abigail said looking at me amazingly.

"when God said I will make a table before you, in the presence of thy enemies. you thought he was talking to the devil? he was talking to us! You and I." I said, and became totally unfazed.

"Who did she say is the real father of the baby?" Abigail asked desperately.

 Lizzy breathed an audible sigh of relief before she replied.

"She mention one Usman. She said he was pastor's former driver who used to live at the boys quarters."

"What?" Abigail and I screamed unbelievably in unison.

Abigail laughed out loud, she laughed and fell on the floor. The sound of her laughter stayed in my head ever since then, it giggles me.

A 43-year-old make-up artist, Adekoya Adebukonla Mary, who claimed she was travelling to India for fibroid s¥rgery, has been arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos, after 2.2 kilograms of c+caine were discovered concealed in her luggage.

Sowore was reacting to what politician and human rights advocate,Prince Henry Nwazuruahu popularly known as Henry Shield said about the ill-treatment being meted out to University students.

Henry Shield had said that, "University students in Nigeria have been home for 8 months. No nation on Earth should treat its young people like this."

Reacting to Shield's tweet,Sowore advised the students at home to stage a mass protest to force the Federal government to end the strike. He also assured the students that he will join such a protest.

"The reason they don't care is because their kids don't go to school in Nigeria" Sowore said.

Hi everyone,

I'm a new user, youngancient, and this is my very first post on this amazing platform. Please make sure to read and drop a like and comment

Pets are primarily animals which are kept and nutured by human beings for companionship or entertainment. Pets are also known as companion animals. According to the old stories my Dad told me, animals who currently live with humans were all wild and man brought them home from his hunting activities to stay with him and be cared for by man. So that's the reason why we have animals as our friends/pets perfectly living with us at home. I later grew up to understand that this process of making species fit for human environment is known as domestication

Popular pets kept by man are dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, rats, mice, parrots, pigs, alligators, crocodiles, snakes etc. Personally, I love and have had dogs and cats before. It's really amazing having them around and I also would love to someday owe a parrot as a pet

Most people keep pets for companionship, to protect home or property or to perceive the attractiveness of animals. I mean it's gives me great joy to just stare at my pets, they're so cute and lovely.

According to research, Americans are the largest pets owners in the world. They keep them indoors and train them better to behave like kids. In Nigeria, we mostly keep pets for protection of home and property

Benefits of pets I adm

Firstly, I love the attractive appearances, intelligence and the amazing relatable personality of pets especially cats and dogs. These pets display their level of intelligencee in different forms in areas like sensing danger/dangerous people, sensing weak emotions of owners and all. Cats and dogs have cute relatable personality with humans, they are best for companionship.

Secondly, pets provide physical benefits for the owner/guardian. In cases where you take them (e.g dog) out for a walk, you and both the dog get exercised, fresh air and the benefit of social interaction.

Last but not the least, pets also provide emotional benefits to the owners especially the elderly and lonely people who normally don't have adequate interaction with people. Again, they gladdens the hearts of their owners with their playful acts thereby bringing peace and joy

I personally love their cute and playful nature. It's really makes me happy being around them. Thanks for reading.
