The First Time I Fell in Love… By Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

I was three years old when I fell in love for the first time. We had just returned to the village from Zaria. I saw her for the first time and my eyes went straight to her neck, sitting like a nipple of the breast was her Adam’s apple. While she breathes, the air that passes through her throat shoots out the Adam’s apple. It was a fascinating sight to behold. I was burning inside me, as if she was inside me, she looked in my direction and stretched her…

Emporium Reporters

The urgent and present danger The world is getting warmer. And when we lose 40% of our forests, the world would’ve reached a point of no-return where we would experience daily natural disasters such as heatwaves, floods and droughts.   We’re already getting there.

Tragically, they exist as destiny killers- deny people legitimate entry to fixed appointments. Severally, I have had my appointments truncated because of the actions of the men at the gate. Because they see the gate where they mount as their own kingdom of power , they exert power over zealously.   The second set of…

Sex, Pastors and Pastors’ wives By Funke Egbemode ([email protected])

Emporium Reporters

Today I’m worried about men of God, wet matchboxes and the fire at the base of the mountains of pastors’ wives.

The video trended for a while, last week. Did you see it? The woman said she was pushed into the act by hunger, sexual hunger. Her pastor husband was focused more on fasting and…
