    Thanks for reading. I’m glad you liked it.

    @brizio, thanks for reading. I believe a good short story should sometimes leave the reader with questions which however do affect its resolution. As for Niyi’s mother, the reader may decide that depending on […]

    @tolaO, the swift transition to Nike’s daydream was intentional. It is the major intrigue in the story – you would have noticed the indistinct use of ‘he’ and ‘she’ instead of Niyi and Nike. Well to the reality of […]

    @daireenonline, thanks for reading. That part was indeed a rush period even from the action going on.

    @Eletrika, thanks for reading. I guess you mean *cluttered*. I don’t know whether you’re referring to a graphical cluttering (as in the paragraph arrangement – that’s was due to my posting the story on mobile). […]

    “I will kill you, kill you!” She screamed, as she tightened her grip on the knife.

    It was a Saturday morning that started just like any other ordinary day but for Nike it was a special day – one that she did […]

    Ife Watson commented on the post, Best Short Contest – Longlist and First Round Polls 4 months, 2 weeks ago

    I thought the public rating was over that’s why I said it should be replaced with the voting. However, upon second thought, it’s not so bad since the story links are listed under the polls.

    Ife Watson commented on the post, Best Short Contest – Longlist and First Round Polls 4 months, 2 weeks ago

    @admin, I think it would be better if the public rating is removed from the story page and replaced with the voting option. It’s kind of bothersome telling people to read your story on one link and vote on another.

    Ife Watson commented on the post, A Good Day 4 months, 2 weeks ago

    I think you have a good story idea but you managed it poorly. At first I was confused as to the main subject matter, until I got to the end of the story. I think you over stretched the part about the court case. […]

    Ife Watson commented on the post, African Magic: Black Power 4 months, 2 weeks ago

    @omojola, thanks for your usual accolade. Well, as per the standard six brain, it was already hinted that the woman had more intelligence than her husband admitted. And some of the ‘needless’ words are […]

    Ife Watson commented on the post, Trophy Husband 4 months, 3 weeks ago

    Did you just say small subset? Lolz. There is an ever widening circle of such men as the rate of women with power and money increases.
    I enjoyed the simplicity of the poem and its lyrical style. Often times […]

    @tolaO, I get your drift – however, the abruptness is due to the illogicality and spontaneity often attached to magic. I agree with you about using constructive resolutions. My intention in this story was to […]

    Ife Watson commented on the post, African Magic: Black Power 4 months, 3 weeks ago

    Thanks @TolaO. Well, the way the magic worked on Maggie was already explained through the symbolical process of tying the effigies back to back. Also, Maggie’s dissatisfaction was based on her feelings of […]

    @jollyone Lolz, that would have been a disaster! However, in actual fact polygamy was a functional family system before the advent of christianity which preached monogamy. But sometimes the West forgets that the […]

    Last year, my husband came back from Britain with his bagged honours degree, as he called it. I’d dressed all the children in their Sunday’s bests to welcome him at the airport. Baba Sade pressed our four […]

    @howyoudey, hmm thanks for reading. The intentions of the writer and the critic are often at loggerheads. So Gbenga seems not so different from the ‘leechy’ mourners? Exactly, it wasn’t my intention to create a […]

    @strongself, thanks for reading – I appreciate your views on my story. However, the notion of cliches in and out of itself is subjective. Therefore, what comes across as cliched to you might really be novel for […]
