NEW STORY ALERT!! JASMINE CHAPTER 1

Don’t ever date or marry a woman out of pity, especially if she is a stranger.

One cold evening; one of those cold evenings where the sun disappeared as early as 3:00 PM, I was standing in front of the building where I lived, doing nothing in particular. I had closed my shop early that day because my landlord had called for an urgent and important meeting. Since I didn’t want to be in his bad books, and I had deliberately stayed away from the two previous meetings, I decided that it would be good if I attended that one.

But when I got home that evening, I realized that his car was not parked in its usual place. For someone who had convened a meeting, that was going to start in about thirty minute’s time, he was supposed to be home. But he was not. Wondering what was happening, I decided to stand in front of the building so that I would know when he was returning back from wherever he was.

As I stood there, another neighbour who had also just closed from work, saw me and greeted.

“Good evening, Mr. Emeka. You are home early today. What happened? Market wasn’t good?”

“Good evening, my neighbour. It’s not because of bad market oh. It is because of the meeting with landlord that I came home, or have you forgotten?”

“Meeting?” She asked, trying to recollect. “Oh! The meeting. Didn’t you hear that it had been cancelled?”

“Cancelled? When?” I was surprised.

“Last night. It was posted in the tenants WhatsApp forum. Didn’t you see it?”

“No, I didn’t. Actually, I left the forum without knowing. That could be the reason.”

“Yes, landlord had to travel suddenly. So, meeting has been moved to Friday next week.”

“Ok, thank you, neighbour.” I spoke. I was very angry.

So, I had just wasted my time like that?! Could you imagine me locking my store a full four hours before my normal closing time just so that I could attend the meeting and avoid running into trouble with my landlord. Now, here I was. Meeting was cancelled and I had no idea. I was terribly vexed.

Well, what could I do? I had to go back to my apartment and wind the rest of the day. There was nothing I could do. But as I was about to get back inside, I saw a bike coming towards me, and the rider seemed to be trying to get my attention. So, I stalled for a while waiting for him to come closer. Once he got to where I was standing, he spoke:

“Good evening, bro.”

“Good evening. How may I be of help to you?” I asked.

“Please, do you know any hotel here called Fairy Land?”

“Fairy Land?” I asked, grimacing. “What kind of a name is that? Anyway, I do not know.”

“But I was told that it was just around here?” That was his passenger speaking. She was a beautiful female of about twenty-two years. She was slim and fair complexioned.

“No, I have been living here for quite a while, and I know all the hotels around here. There is Diamond Garden about two hundred meters from here. Then, we have Grace Land behind my house and one other guest house that houses many Yahoo boys. Maybe it’s Grace Land you are talking about.”

“No, the person who asked me to meet him said Fairy Land.” She insisted.

“Well, we do not have a hotel like that here, sorry.”

I started walking into our compound when I heard a small agitation between the bike man and his beautiful female passenger.

“You are acting as if you have me on hire.” I heard the bike man complaining angrily. “We have been moving around for almost an hour, and we still haven’t found this hotel you are talking about. I am tired.”

“Please, be patient na. If not for the fact that the phone of the person I am going to see has been switched off, would I have been in this mess?” The lady replied.

“That is not my problem. That was not our agreement. In fact, be ready to add money because you have wasted my time, and you need to add some money.” He was still angry.

“Why should I add money?” The lady argued. “I thought I gave you five thousand?”

“Yes, and you think it is enough for all this time you have hijacked my machine? In fact, I am tired. Please, get off my bike.”

“But why? How can you be asking me to get off your bike? I don’t know anyone here.”

“That is not my business, my friend. Get off my bike. I have to be going.”

“I am not getting off your bike. Take me back to where you carried me.” She spoke.

“On whose bill? Abeg, I don’t want trouble. Just get off the bike or I will drag you from it by force.” He threatened.

“Drag who? Come and try it na.” She was daring him.

At this point, the bike man could no longer contain his growing anger. He got off his bike and was about to start pulling the lady from the bike when I intervened

STANDING IN THE GAP:

US Congress Approves Sanctions On Nigeria Over Christian Killings.

The United States House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa has given President Donald Trump the green light to impose stringent sanctions on Nigeria in response to the widespread k!lling of Christians in the country.

The decision followed a congressional hearing on Wednesday, March 12. during which lawmakers condemned the Nigerian government for failing to protect Christian communities from escalating violence.

The committee also cited a 2024 report by the Observatory for Religious Freedom in Africa, which revealed that Nigerians accounted for 90 per cent of all Christians killed worldwide each year.

The report documented that between October 2019 and September 2023, a staggering 55,910 people were killed, while 21,000 others were abducted by terrorist groups operating in the region.

During the hearing, Committee Chairman Chris Smith, who highlighted the severity of the crisis, pointed to testimony from Bishop Wilfred Anagbe of the Diocese of Makurdi, Nigeria, as a viable witness.

He said: “One of our distinguished witnesses today—Bishop Wilfred Anagbe—travelled a long distance to be with us, and his testimony is both compelling and disturbing.

“Militant Fulani herdsmen are terrorists. They steal and vandalise, they kill and boast about it, they kidnap and rape, and they enjoy total impunity from elected officials. None of them have been arrested or brought to justice.”

“Make no mistake – these attacks are religiously motivated,” the report stated, adding: “Denying this reality contradicts the overwhelming evidence we have seen with our own eyes. This ‘religious cleansing’ must stop, and those responsible must be held accountable.”

The congressional panel strongly criticised the Nigerian government for failing to address religiously motivated violence, despite constitutional protections for religious freedom.

Expressing concern that Nigeria’s judicial system had been weaponised to suppress Christian communities, the lawmakers cited cases where blasphemy laws have been used to target religious minorities.

“The Government of Nigeria has made little progress in addressing the persecution of Christians, even though religious freedom is enshrined as a fundamental human right in its Constitution.

“While Nigeria’s legal framework ostensibly supports religious pluralism at both federal and state levels, glaring contradictions persist—particularly in laws that criminalise blasphemy, some of which even carry the death penalty,” the subcommittee’s report stated.

Blaming the previous administration of President Joe Biden for weakening U.S. pressure on Nigeria by removing the country from the Country of Particular Concern (CPC) list, Smith said the designation was originally applied during President Trump’s first term.

He noted that despite four consecutive years of recommendations from the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (2021–2024), the Biden administration had failed to reinstate Nigeria’s CPC status.

“Under President Biden, Nigeria was removed from the CPC list, despite overwhelming evidence that religious persecution had worsened. This decision ignored the repeated recommendations of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom,” he said.

He called on President Trump to take decisive action, including restoring Nigeria’s CPC designation and engaging directly with Nigerian President Bola Tinubu to ensure better protection for Christian communities.

“I fully expect President Trump to redesignate Nigeria as a CPC and to take additional steps to support the persecuted church. Last night, I reintroduced a resolution on this issue, and I hope we will have a robust discussion that leads to real action,” he added.
