Wanted Here – Ch.9 | KT OLLA

WHEN Carl crossed his arms and closed his eyes where he sat in court, he had wandered away with a lot of thoughts... wishing the cup would only pass.

But the moments weren’t passing at all. As the audience’s reaction brought him back to the time.

A buzz of voices followed a question. Then the 34-year-old woke up to see his nervous spouse look around.

June wanted to slow down the questions or, at least, be the one to decide her answer.

But her questioner was no small someone. He was the big name of Cannon’s faculty of law.

He was the one leading the defense attorneys for the case in court...

And he’d been shooting questions in a fast pace that outwitted her.

That distinguished attorney at law was the Professor and Attorney D.M.B. Barbar.

So, June stuttered. “Can... can you repeat the question?”

Then her questioner went bolder.

“You definitely had a great career in Sweden. So good that the whole of Jamaica was proud of you!

“So why did you leave your successful work in Europe and then come back to settle in Jamaica?

“You must’ve once liked your work more than leaving it now. So what happened back in Sweden that made you come home?”

June looked around as she felt that Carl was back and watching.

Then when she turned, she saw everyone gazing at her but she didn’t care. For she saw Carl looking out for her.

Carl Martinez had sued Cannon University for actively brainwashing his wife, a brilliant scientist. So that she came to lose touch with her forte and her gifted self altogether.

The suit said this, that the prestigious institution murdered June’s genius with deliberate action.

So, if homicide refers to the crime of killing a person deliberately, then they believed that Cannon was guilty of what they’d later termed, Psychomicide.

The crime of killing someone’s ego – their sense of self – deliberately.

Yes, the lawsuit came after June had managed to complete her program at Cannon. She submitted her thesis and was awarded a doctorate degree.

Still, she’d say that her paper wasn’t her but Cannon. That her degree wasn’t her true self, but an offering to the system.

She returned home like an eagle with broken wings beneath the feathers. But so long as she didn’t fly, no one would know she’d got an injury.

 Now it wasn’t just for her broken wings that she didn’t fly. She just could not. June was that broken.

So then, the young woman turned to Carl and watched him have the same gaze on her as those he had when she’d felt smarter. 

She suddenly saw that he wasn’t changing, whether she was smart and not quite. And whether she was aging fast, or slow to grow.

Now she found the needed push to fight back. She suddenly wanted to face Barbar.

June leaned forward and stammered through her next words. She went intentional this time.

“I’m... I’m sorry! But can you, please, say the question again?”

At that moment the quiet woman aimed a gun at the gunman – her troubler in this court of law.

Yes, the chief counsel for Cannon University had clearly pushed this lady to the wall. For June turned around that instant and drove the man up a cliff.

It was the professor’s turn to run wild.

Barbar peered down at the seated lady in the stand. Then he banged his fist on the wooden frame.

He blared. “Why did you return to Jamaica? If truly you’ve got everything going well with you, mind and all!”

“Objection, my lord!” cried June’s lawyer. “The defense is trying to intimidate my client!”

The judge intervened, as he called back the law professor.

“Defense Counsel, please rephrase your question. Then keep it focused.”

“I am sorry, Your Honor,” bowed Barbar. “But I’m actually going somewhere!”

He faced the lady now. She was already waiting for him.

“Mrs. J. Martinez, will you please tell this honorable court the reason why you suddenly left your great work in Europe.

“Why did you opt to end your projects in Sweden and retire to Jamaica?”

June caught the question and had her response ready.

She fought back now and stunned the whole court.

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...
