Miss Maggi (Part 6)

 


I balanced behind my laptop as I typed the address of her blog into my browser. This would be the first time I would see her on any social media platform. The first thing that caught my attention on the blog was her profile. She was dressed in a white gown and was smiling from ear to ear. Miss Maggi is smiling? Jesus is LORD! Her profile read ‘I stay alone, but I don’t live alone. Grief is my roommate and sadness is my neighbor.’ I knew it that something is wrong with my boss. I just have not discovered what is exactly wrong with her. I will know about it today.

I spent over an hour reading different articles on her blog. Apart from the fact that she is a good writer, Miss Maggi writes about everything on her blog. Her work, colleagues, family and of course, Coke. I find it weird that Miss Maggi writes about everything and everyone, but she never talks to us at work. I was curious to know why she hates color red. I searched through and found the gold mine in her earliest articles. I didn’t know when tears dropped. Miss Maggi is a miracle! I was about leaving when I found several articles about me. She has been writing about me. I went through the articles. It touched me to the very marrows. I wept at the things I saw on her blog, but I decided to keep it all to myself.

The next day, I found myself behaving weird towards her: I pretended that I was angry at her. She noticed and called me into her office. “Coke, what’s wrong with you?” Really? She has never showed any form of care to me since I have been working with her. “Miss Maggi, why are you asking? I never knew you care about me”. “I don’t”, she retorted. I dropped my head. “So, why are you frowning your face since morning? You don’t smile like you used to.” “I just felt to copy your demeanor today, ma”. She looked at me keenly. I have come to know that my boss is a very intelligent woman. She can pick things by just looking at me. She dismissed me, but I knew that she already suspects something.

For the rest of the day, she kept staring at me. She must know that I know something. I was determined to play this for as long as possible. That night, I went on her blog again. She just posted a new blog with just one sentence- “Coke didn’t smile today.” I took a deep breathe. I opened a parody google mail and used it to log into blogger so that I can post comment without as an anonymous. “Allow him to wear red.” She replied immediately “He doesn’t like red. He only wore it that day to upset me”. “Tomorrow, I will give you a strategy to make him smile again.” She replied that she will be looking forward to it. If Miss Maggi finds out that I’m the one chatting with her, she would skin me alive! I know what to do. I must get to the root of this.

Prophetic Perspective: Israel vs Iran

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty.  It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

Nigeria In The Bible

As we approach another celebration of the independence of the nation Nigeria, I will like us to know some things about this nation that the LORD has shown me. If a man wants to know the details of God's will for his life, he would need to read the things that have been written or said about him by God. Prophecy is one of the ways that the will of God can be known. Prophecy is voicing God's will. This same principle applies to territories as territories also have a will established by God for them to fulfill. In the scriptures, we see details of many nations that existed in that time. Nations like Israel, Egypt, Syria, Edom, Philistine, Babylon and in the new testament, we saw countries like Italy and Spain which still exists till today. Most of the nations that were mentioned in the old testament bear a new name today. There were some nations mentioned in the old testament, but their names were not specified. God, through the prophets spoke about the destiny of some na...

Shameful Calling?

After my last story about David, the official bastard. I got a call from someone, a lady and she said "Olanrewaju, can you please share my story on your blog? It would encourage your readers". After considering it, I decided to hear it first, but after I heard her story, I knew it would be perfect for you! I interviewed her and this is what I got: Olanrewaju: Can you please share your story with me? My New Friend: I will tell you about my life before I got married. I was a very modest lady who attracted praises from her parents, respect from the church members, admiration from the young men and of course, envy from some sisters. However, I remained humble, purposeful and pure. Even the pastor used me as an example as he was preaching one of his long sermons. Olanrewaju (thinking): That's a wonderful résumé! My New Friend: I got engaged to a young man in our church. He was God-fearing and he loved me with the whole of his heart. We had our introduction in a mod...
