Wanted Here – Ch.7 | KT OLLA

THE judge’s gavel struck a loud sound and called for silence in a courtroom...

But the decorum that followed only started a new storm in a gentleman’s mind.

It was a handsome dude in his mid-30s. He went by the name, Carl.

This young soul was the plaintiff on the psychomicide case. The one suing Cannon University.

The gifted engineer had thought through things when he decided to sue the school. It wasn’t a journey he began without making plans.

He was quite aware that his life would be dissected by media people if he was suing Cannon. Yet he went for it all the same. 

He’d seen it coming, the drama that followed. Still he pulled the trigger first and aimed at the giant.

But then, in spite of his awareness, the family man wasn’t ready for the bullets shot back at him.

Yes, his lawyer had sent him scripts and videos of mock cases to get him and his family prepared for huge counters.

But those grand scenarios hadn’t captured the real thing. As the hearings in court became a wild match of gladiator combats.

It was the game of Carl Martinez and his spouse against all of Cannon.

Now Mr. Martinez folded his arms and watched as the defense counsel questioned his wife.

He looked at her now, he looked round the courtroom. Then he shut his eyes for the moment to pass...

For the earth to cave in and bury all their foes beneath ground.

He wanted everything to just go, so that what was left would be just him and his gentle wife.

Then during that moment of pure decorum, Carl Martinez was beginning to feel something. Something different from the mood in there...

He was beginning to think surrender.

Hey Carl... better drop the suit and end the whole thing here!

You just should’ve known you ain’t someone to beat them!

Those thoughts passed in the young man’s mind when he recalled some of the week’s news.

The headlines came back to him.

Cannon University loses top master’s student, Barnabas, to depression

Lucius Barnabas, 23, new witness on psychomicide, dies from LSD overdose —Police

Psychomicide: Lucius suffered from bipolar, drug addiction —Manuel Barnabas, cousin

Everything in the news seemed to Carl like Cannon’s handiwork.

And when the news even went on to hint that his witness was unstable, he knew it was Cannon’s style.

They played their game rough. And dirty.

Indeed, engineer Carl Martinez had got things well engineered from the start.

He’d gone on to prepare evidences to nail the defendant where they least expected.

Again, he’d ensured that it was a good friend who worked as barrister with Pendulum, that was representing his case. So his lawyer was no problem at all.

Also, he’d got more than enough time to go to court. As he was then reaping from a gold field of his many innovative designs. For he was a biomedical engineer.

And so, it seemed the cool dude had got what it took to bring Cannon down when it began. So he’d gone all out against the college.

But then Carl’s cash pool that wouldn’t finish anytime yet, wasn’t the thumping beat getting him to fight wild...

The young man was even no graduate of the citadel. He didn’t school at Cannon.

But the punches he threw he did for love. And that love was one thing he couldn’t watch being trampled over.

Now Carl parted his eyes open and watched his wife go dumb in front of Cannon in the witness stand.

He shut his eyes back and slid back into memory.

Back to the years before psychomicide.

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...
