Iya Folake was already set for the days business. She was about to leave the house when Itohan knocked and entered the house. She exchanged pleasantries with Iya and took her seat.
âI hope there is no problem? You know I would check on you before leavingâ
âI know my sweet mamaâ Itohan said âI come ask whether you go fit allow me dey fry Akara and buns for front of the compoundâ
âAah! To start business? Itohan you just born and you never strong like thatâ Iya said.
âI don strong mama. I don wash this mornâŠ.â
âShut up my daughter. You donât know what you are saying. You need to heal internally. You need rest. Donât gamble with your lifeâ She said.
Itohan started crying.
âI donât have money againâ She cried.
âI thought as much. No sane woman would try suchâ
Both of them sat quietly for a while.
âMy daughter, I will allow you make use of the space for your business, but it is not going to be now. I want you to be physically fit first. As for money, I donât have much but I will talk to my children to see how we can support you until you are able to stand on your own again. Itohan left her seat and knelt before Iya Folake. She wept until Iya raised her up.
âDonât knee before me again. I am not God. I learnt early in life to stretch my hands to those who need my help. God has never ever withhold help from meâ
She left Iya to her house and still wept there.
âIf nor be this woman wey you put for my way, people for don dey laugh me. Oh Jesus! You too goodâ
When Iya Folake returned from her business that evening she entered Itohanâs house and told her the decision she reached with her children.
âI and my children will support you until you are strong enough to start your business. Tomorrow, money will be handed to youâ
Itohan kept genuflecting for she was overwhelmed by the show of love. Efosa was not left out too. He prostrated and Iya asked them to stand.
âSo human being dey like thisâ Itohan said after Iya had left her house
âGod I wan be help to people, help me make I fit reach people wey no get. Me and this mama no dey speak the same language. We no come from the same village or dey answer the same name, but see the way she treat me like sey I be her pikinâ
Itohan entered into prayers and she told God to bless Iya Folake and her children.

Nicole had been in the delivery room. She was in labour. For the past hours she has been screaming. Nosa was with her in the hospital. The hospital she registered was a top notch.
After Dr Danielâs confrontation with Nosa, he discouraged Nicole from registering for antenatal there.
âPushâ The doctor said.
Nicole pushed and delivered a baby boy. The doctor handed the baby to a nurse. Then he asked her to push for the placenta to come out. As she pushed another baby boy followed.
âTwins. Two boysâ The doctor announced.
When the news was broken to Nosa, he laughed so loud. He was happy. He rushed into the delivery room and kissed Nicole. After Nicole had been attended to, she requested for her phone and started making calls. Then she asked Nosa to snap them.
Nicoleâs joy knew no bound. She posted all the pictures on Facebook and Instagram. So many calls came in to congratulate her.
ââââââââââââ
The next morning after Nicole had slept very well, she was feeling excited. She was proud. She had not only taken Nosa from Itohan, she had succeeded in giving him two handsome boys.
âEverything is coming in doubleâ She told herself.
That very morning, she checked her post on Facebook and she was pleased by the comments from family and friends. Some of her friends queried her for getting married without inviting them.
âWhen I am strong enough, my next plan is to get married. It has to be bigâ She told herself.
Feeling mischievous that morning, she asked Nosa for his phone and then dialled Itohanâs line. After two rings, Itohan picked the call.
âI have won againâ She told Itohan âI have not only taken back my man, I have bore him two boys. I will continue to win while youâŠ.â Before she could continue Itohan cut the call.
âIlliterate woman. I am sure it was juju she used to snatch Nosa from me. I have used a pastor cum native doctor to reclaim himâ She laughed and handed the phone to Nosa who sat on the chair like a dummy.
âGet me food to eat Nosa. You sometimes act like a fool. Donât you know I will eat? Go home and prepare something for me jareâ
âAlright maâ
He tried to peck her before going but she gently pushed him away and he left.
Nicole touched the faces of her sons and laughed.
âI have wonâ She whispered.
ââââââââââââ
Itohan was coming out of the bathroom when that call came. Efosa had just left and her baby was asleep. She was not surprised that it was Nicole that called. It has been almost three months since she delivered. Iya Folake had told her the ordeal she went through. She had also encouraged her to pray warfare prayer.
âYour husband may have reacted to you because of the influence of juju or charm. He may have been manipulated, but I tell you today that it is only Jesus that can set him free. Pray for him Itohanâ
âI no pray for am oo. Make he pray for himselfâ
Iya had laughed.
âDo you love him at all?â
âGod know sey I love am too muchâ
âThen you must pray for himâ
âHmmm!â
âYes, you must begin to stand up for him. Pray that whatever juju or charm or spell working against him should breakâ
Itohan was amused.
âSo na me go pray for am after all the things wey he do me?â
âForgive him. I have told you to forgive him completely. Let go of all the grudgesâ
âE no easy the way you talk amâ
âI know my daughter. But if you want to see result of your prayers, you must forgive him. You also need the help of the Holy Spiritâ
âWho be Holy Spirit?â She asked confused.
Iya laughed and began to tell her. Understanding dawned on her. Iya Folake would not leave her alone. Everytime she had the opportunity, she would preach and preach and then encourage Itohan. Being an inquisitive person, Itohan would ask so many questions.
She even introduced Itohan to midnight prayer.
âItâs very effectiveâ
Having been convinced, she started praying for Nosa. Initially it was difficult, but it soon became easy. She refused to dwell in the past hurt and focus on the good side of Nosa.
So, listening to Nicole didnât break her or make her cry. She only laugh when she cut the call and drop the phone on the table.
âI get better things to think of, no be Nicoleâ
ââââââââââââ
The day Nicole was to be discharged, she woke up very early to discover that one of the baby was very white while the other wasnât breathing well. She drew the attention of a nurse.
âAah! This one is not breathing oo! Did you lie on themâ She asked Nicole.
âNoo! How can Iâ She said trembling âCall doctorâ
âDoctor is not aroundâ
âPlease call the doctor, if anything happens to my children, I will sue youâ
The nurse began to make calls. Nicole picked her phone and informed Nosa who drove like a mad man to the hospital. The doctor came quiet alright but it was too late, the two children had already died.
Nicole screamed
âWhat happened to my children? Tell me oo!â
Because of the way she was behaving, she was sedated. She spent three more days in the hospital. The doctor could not actually say what happened to the twins.
For Nicole, she was unconsolable. After she was discharge, Nosa was by her showing her love. She would start the day in tears and end it in tears. She went to Facebook and Instagram and deleted all the pictures of the children she posted.
One day, she told Nosa she knew what happened to the children.
âItohan killed my children. She was jealous of my twins and she killed themâ
âI know she can do suchâ Nosa said
âI am going to make her pay. I will kill her. Her death will be gradual but painfulâ
âGo ahead Nicole, if it will make you happyâ He told her
That evening, Nicole wailed and began to curse Itohan and her children.
