Wanted Here – Ch.20 | KT OLLA

HANDS went through glass flasks, from the conical ones to the beakers and reagent bottles. In a large laboratory room at Cannon.

It was a Saturday morning.

A day many students would be busy with their personal matters. And their teachers would stick to their families at home. 

On this Saturday, however, some Cannonites were up and doing in the university’s chemistry lab. And the one in charge was Marcuz.

Yes, Marcuz López had taken up the job at Cannon. And the college had just resumed for a new session.

So the gentleman had moved into the apartment allotted to him at the staff quarters on campus.

His entry level was Graduate Assistant as he was retained at the college as a graduate student.

So Marcuz planned to keep going with his studies and papers. Till he was a senior academic staff and faculty member.

And till he’d reached the level of an associate professor, and distinguished professor.

Now Mr. López wanted to groom minds and grow them. He wasn’t a genius himself… he was only academically brilliant.

But he wanted to provide enabling atmosphere for inventions.

That was the “him” he found while he took up the job. As his brother Luca, had told him to find himself first.

Now Marcuz had been given the freedom to organize extra tutorials for students. So he had asked himself:

What does Marcuz want? What do I want so badly?

Then he’d thought: I want freedom for caged minds. I want Cannonites soaring!

But there was this problem.

Wait...! Cannon is on my heels. And they may catch up with me any time from now.

Still, I’m here already. If they look through the school, they should find me.

He mused it loud: “What if I make the searchers plenty?—

“If it’s Cannon alone searching for me, they’ll get me in time. What if I make their opponents search for me, too?

“Let the world comb through Cannon to find me! And they will find the dons before they get me!”

Yes, Luca had told him to find his chasers indeed. To find them before they got him.

Meanwhile, Cannon had lifted its entry ban for pressmen and security agents. As well as for the attorneys at Pendulum Bros.

It was something it thought to do at the dawn of the New Year, as a way of washing its public image sparkling clean.

So, it trusted the Bar enough to be respectable people. And not go invading their premises still.

It trusted the gentlemen and ladies of the press, too. To be civil enough to hold back.

Yes, their statement had appealed to a high sense of etiquette and civil manners. So much they were cajoled and stayed back for honor.

The school management had planned to quietly bar the entries, again, before those people would have got a rethink. When their blackmail would have eased on them.

Yet now, while Cannon had just opened its gates, Marcuz López was flinging them wider.

For he organized a tutorial of practical chemistry in the lab. Called the media from several TV channels…

And called his class, “Cannon Skies.”

“This thing is done to tell y’all that Cannon is still safe!”

That was what he told the media.

Sons of the Flaming Throne 3 – Ch. 30 (FINALE) | KT OLLA

AT Gibeon King Solomon offered a huge sacrifice of a thousand cattle. That great sacrifice stirred up the heart of God, as the soul which offered it pleased Him much. So there in the smoking clouds, God appeared to Solomon—and it was a breathtaking moment to hear Him speak. For He asked a man to make a wish: He asked Solomon to state his need. ‘I have seen your heart and your offering, and I am pleased with you this day. ‘Therefore Son of David, ask of Me anything you please, and I shall give you whatever you say.’ Right there where the mortal man bowed, he knew this was a mighty offer. But his needs weren’t so many to place in a giant offer. He wanted to ask one thing that is mightier than power and riches. He wanted to own one thing that is chief among so many. So He answered, ‘O God of Israel, You have loved David and blessed him in his days. ‘And this grace, You have extended to me his son: You have set me on his throne. ‘Still here I am in the midst of the many people you have mad...

Here’s what God asks us to tell His people in Nigeria | KT OLLA

  Dear Readers, here is what God asks us to tell Nigeria, today the 1st of April, 2022 —  THE PROPHECY  — 1. The Lord said the sins and atrocities of Nigeria He can no longer ignore. He said He will now punish all lawlessness, unless we repent and change our ways. 2. He said it is for this sake that He has withdrawn the showers of rain, and made them really sparse. 3. God said unless Nigerians repent and turn from all lawlessness, there is coming a draught so severe that it will spark up very strange fires. 4. Yet so that God’s people will not suffer or be shaken, He asks us to tell you our readers and everyone who cares to listen, that you store and keep storing up water without a stop. He sternly instructed us all to do this. 5. God also commanded us to assure His people of His promise for this time. He said He will preserve the righteous during these trying times that will go on to try even the world. 6. He said several times over that the righteous will inherit t...

🛡️Safety Call! – KT OLLA

Running into a rock? The times are testing everywhere in the world. Outdoor is the heat of violence and crime; indoors are the worst cases of lack or need. Everything seemed like the end is here, when most people are just starting to live. But whether it is the beginning of the end, or nothing like it at all… well, all of us just wants to survive. We mean, really survive. Like running into a rock till the heat of God’s sun passes. For this too shall pass, we know. But then, a question sometimes bothers us – particularly at this time. And it is this one thing that we often ask: “Isn’t there something we can do to escape these harsh realities? Isn’t there something we can do at the very least?” The whole world had stayed home at a time, till we were all tired of hiding. But home stopped proving to be a good shelter those times. In fact, plagues opened locked doors and stole away our dear ones. We had thereafter fled outside, running from those things that plagued our earth. We hid in roc...
