Heaven was almost let loose recently in the home of the Bensons. This was because Mr Benson had gone out to have fun with one of his girlfriends. The two enjoyed themselves but Ben did not warn his girlfriend not to call him or send him text messages. Unfortunately, he forgot his phone in his car when he got home. Too tired that night, his wife decided to go pick up their guest from the airport with the same car.

“I’ve been married for over 25 years. My lover is a divorcee and we’ve been seeing each other for over 10 years. My husband suspects nothing and that’s the way it will stay. He’s happy with his life and has a wife who looks after him deeply and I have my home and family on one side and a man who loves me very much on the other side.

From time, all societies pay allegiance to hierarchy among their members. There are leaders and followers, elite class and the poor class, urban and rural dwellers, the strong and the weak, rich and poor, servants and masters. The world is full of opposites.

In every society, social status has continued to remain a major barrier to love. It is common to hear people say their children won’t marry a particular person because he doesn’t belong to their class. Several marriages and other relationships have equally failed because of differences in education, socialisation, religion, race, ethnicity, or income.

You can imagine an SSCE holder or someone who didn’t finish secondary education aspiring to marry a University graduate or someone with a Masters. Human needs and wants are just insatiable. It’s good for people to dream big but sometimes it doesn’t work like that.

You know, this is a teaching hospital. Before I knew it, he’d summoned some medical students who filled the room. I was already in labour, and there they all were, peering curiously between my legs I’v ever been We’re being tested on breech births’, a female medical student breathed excitedly hold my hands and breathe deeply.

Ngozi was alarmed knowing that Benson her heartthrob is married and had five children. Benson and Ngozi had dated for about six years and she never suspected that he was married.

They’re pot-bellied and walk so slowly they look as if they’re doing the moon-walk! Things they discuss are so mundane, I felt like climbing the wall the few times I’d met them. Not to think of the ease with which they fall asleep! And the thought that I would have to deal with them if the inevitable happened and I moved in with CTB, gives me the creeps! God forbid bad thing! Besides, CTB hasn’t even asked me to!!

“My wife finally left the house and promptly travelled abroad. She’d been away ever since. With time, I learnt to live with the betrayal- it’s not something a man could forget. She has access to the children who all school abroad and we try to be civil to each other when we meet. The few times I’d seen her, I’d wondered what devil could possess a wife who seemingly had everything to sleep with a pastor in her matrimonial bed?!

Sex is like a lubricant in every marriage. Statistics have shown that most marriages break up because they lack good sex. The figure also shows that most marriages would have weathered other storms if their sex lives were okay.

We reveal our dark parts to those we trust. They are our friends and relations we love, seek their advice and help. But these same people can be dangerous as the story below illustrates. It is about Mr Alex, a company executive who hardly has time for his family.

After a good meal and generous helpings of booze, one of the guests, a cosmetologist who runs a high-tech gym, proceeded to give us a pcp talk on how to look good and have wonderful sex at the same time. Ears perked up immediately as she popped open her compact suitcase cramped with very daring sex toys, and then proceeded to tell her eager listeners how to have prolonged and enjoyable sex.

Muri obviously knew where he was going and he pulled out all the stops in making Ibi fall for him like a ton of bricks – expensive lunches in discreet hotels that boasted room service, lavish present and cash gifts. He even took her ramshackled car to his mechanics for a very impressive make-over! Ibi was so impressed by her good fortunes that she told Dora, the girl she was having the cat-fight with all about it.

Let me tell you one thing, we can say that Jonathan has the constitutional right to contest despite the zoning agreement in PDP. You also remember that even when the Presidency was zoned to the south, Abubakar Rimi did not accept and contested against Obasanjo in the primaries.

Faith represents the crop of some ruthless young women the society is suddenly grappling with. Pretty with a degree under her belt, she was very lucky to be employed by one of the mobile phone network companies. Her boyfriend of almost six years, with whom she went to the university, wasn’t so lucky with employment.

I was recently in the office of an old schoolmate when the arrival of a girlfriend of his was announced by his secretary. “Let her come in,” he instructed immediately. Akin and I were fierce rivals in our literature class stying for our ‘A’ levels all those years ago. He’d done fantastically well for himself since he graduated and we’d remained firm friends over the years.
