Hearty: What are your plans after this BSc? I know God has plans for you. So, have you been thinking about it?

If Queen Esther was Nigerian

IF QUEEN ESTHER WAS NIGERIAN

If Queen Esther was Nigerian

King Xerxes (Ahasuerus) ruled over 127 provinces when Isreal was in slavery. He was the most powerful monarch who ruled the Persian Empire around 486 BC.

Hadassah had deep Jewish roots as detailed in the Book of Esther in the Holy Bible.

Esther couldn’t have been Nigerian, and I’m much surprised at myself for allowing such a ‘what if’ thought.

 The name ‘Esther’ sounds foreign and pagan. Some people still dispute why such a Book that can pass as historical romance is in the Bible.

THE PLAYLIST CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Mrs Elihana’s thoughts were muddled up. She looked at Bimbo who had placed her head on her shoulder. Not only had her ex-husband’s mistake hurt her, but he had also gone ahead to hurt a younger version of her in more profound ways. If only she had handled things better before the divorce, just maybe. And now, he was trying to do restitution.

THE PLAYLIST CHAPTER TWELVE

Bimbo leaned on Femi’s mum as the driver drove. She didn’t understand the need to go to Ogun state with her step-father and a woman who continued to act like she was her daughter, but the song playing softly from the car stereo sang “Lord I trust you I trust you with my life, Amasihu kai kadai,” by Solomon Lange. 

THE PLAYLIST CHAPTER TEN

Sandra came out of the station then. She looked at Mr Adegoke and shook her head. She didn’t believe all that she had been told by the police.

“Your persuasive skills are great sir,” She told him and left, Bimbo’s phone in her hands.

THE PLAYLIST CHAPTER NINE

Femi and Sandra sat together in the waiting room, cold and comfortless. They looked constantly towards the emergency room where Bimbo was wheeled into.

Sandra’s phone beeped and she picked the incoming call. She stood from her seat and walked farther away from the waiting area.
