Church Chronicles: Aunty Feminist Goes to Church Review

Oluwabukola Olabode2 years ago2 years ago31 mins

It is understandable now that we are in women’s history month to talk about a woke subject–feminism.  It was scary and somewhat brave to broach this topic, as it is a sensitive one that is more often than not spoken about among church ladies. It’s not for a lack of them not being aware of…

Worship Experience Review-Church Chronicles 1

Oluwabukola Olabode3 years ago2 years ago21 mins

The story started with a simulation of what people call capital tongues from the prayer cord. Yeah, just like the stereotypes, he is a guy. And from the concave lenses of Sayo, the story continues. We see a beautifully dressed female chorister take the microphone to lead the worship. Only later did we know the…

I’m Living my Best Life

Oluwabukola Olabode3 years ago3 years ago31 mins

I’m living my best life. Freshly squeezed bitterleaf juice in one hand, thoughts of recent events in my head, and the soft melody of soothing voices from my radio kept me snuggled in the corner of my bed. I watched the rays of light that I hoped would touch my yellowing philodendron bounce off and…

Oluwabukola Olabode3 years ago1 year ago41 mins

Drip Drip | Church Chronicles 7

Oluwabukola Olabode3 years ago3 years ago11 mins

“Calm down now. Your phone selfie camera is on. Look into it and act like you’re enjoying the drip. Drip drip,” Eucharia said to herself, batting her eyelashes at the camera. Ifeanu rolled her eyes as both walked down the road to Chapel. “Drip ko. In this land of UI. Two weeks of school stress…

Through your Eyes | Church Chronicles 6

Oluwabukola Olabode3 years ago3 years ago31 mins

The eye is the lamp of the body: when your eye is clear, your whole body also is full of light… “What do you see?” Grandma Agbaje pointed at the small window to her right and returned her gaze to those of us in her teenage Sunday school class. Our gazes moved to the window,…

Sabbath | Church Chronicles 5

Oluwabukola Olabode3 years ago3 years ago21 mins

“Hi,”  “Hello,”  It was a weird conversation with a stranger down the winding staircase. It felt good. Sunday arrived early and in sync with the soft instrumental escaping from the second floor. It preluded the start of service. Sunday was Sabbath. It was a special day of rest when people poured out the streets in…

My Daddy-Longlegs | Church Chronicles 4

Oluwabukola Olabode3 years ago3 years ago71 mins

My Daddy-Longlegs When I was a little girl, my whole world went at a pleasantly slow pace. It was endless days of wanting to be an adult. And the calmness and stability of that little world seemed to last forever. The hopeful days of waiting and the protection from my parents from what the world…

Blood Sucking Demons | Church Chronicles 3

Oluwabukola Olabode3 years ago3 years ago61 mins

Blood sucking demons Mosquitoes, lice, and bed bugs, you hate them all. Yesterday, you swatted an overly excited anopheles with your bare hands, but it danced out of your grasp, singing the same annoying song you didn’t want to hear. You clapped for it, hoping that the performance would end, but she went ahead to…

Aunty Feminist goes to Church | Church Chronicles 2

Oluwabukola Olabode3 years ago3 years ago61 mins

The period when women were told to be silent in the church was over. This was what Aunty thought before returning home to Naija. Unpacking her luggage, she thought about the foremost thing she wanted to do. She would show up in church, the home church she’d been nostalgic about in the UK.  Life as…
