UNTOLD TALES BY CONFIDENCE ONYEMA

She sits on the rat infested bed again with such ease, one might even think she loved it. "Sweet darling", she called out to the little girl who was still trembling at the sight of Madam HOHA! Feared and revered at almost the same proportion by all her girls! She ran her restaurant and bar business with such great skill and finese but only a few knew what her business really was. 



Little Kosi with her head bowed and her knees buckling could not seem to form the words to answer in her mouth. She just trembled on, shaking like a fowl without feathers under the cold rain. A thunderous slap greeted her cheek and at once her tongue was loose and began rambling "ma" and "please" in as many languages as she had picked up in her 16 years of existence. "So you can talk?" questioned Madam HOHA. "Why did you not serve Alhaji Adamu as directed? You were supposed to give him the the three course meal and the happy ending". 



Another resonating slap got little Kosi talking. Crying, Kosi replied,"Madam Abeg no vex. I no well since last month, so when oga Adamu come, body no gree me do anything. But I been give am the first and second one. But e dey pain me well well. Abeg no vex ma." Kosi's gaze had not left the scalding iron that had been in madam's hand since she came in and her insides kept a steady drum roll that preceded mayhem. With a devilish laugh madam HOHA called out, "Girls"!!! Three hefty things that looked like female hulks and gorrilas at the same time who really at first glance wouldn't be called girls stepped in and grabbed Kosi before she could run away. 



The searing heat from the iron said hello to her back and her screams could be heard a thousand miles away only if they could be heard. Madam had sound proof doors. The second assault was on her buttocks and this time, lasted longer. Kosi had never known such pain in her entire life and her wails were as that of a lion at child birth. "Next time don't be sick. HOHA!", madam said with a burning look that pierced Kosi's soul and imprinted a great fear that no other could surmount.

DONALD TRUMP AS BEEN REMOVED AS HONORS IN BUSINESS

A Scottish university which awarded Donald Trump with an honorary degree in 2010 has confirmed it is revoking it after the US presidential frontrunner made controversial remarks about Muslims in statements, writes Aftab Ali for  The Independent . Robert Gordon University, or RGU, in Aberdeen presented Trump with the award of Doctor of Business Administration (Hon DBA) at the university in October 2010. At the time, Professor John Harper – RGU’s acting principal and vice-chancellor – said: “Given that business and entrepreneurship lie at the heart of much of the university’s academic offering, it is only fitting to award Trump with an honorary degree. Last week, though, an RGU spokesman said: “In the course of the current US election campaign, Mr Trump has made a number of statements that are wholly incompatible with the ethos and values of the university.”  The move has come shortly after Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon also stripped Trump of his role as a busines...
