Season 2, Episode 9

Though Folake knew that there was
trouble in the air, she did not clearly
see that they had changed their plans to
hurt Esther and she was now their prime
target.
Nevertheless, she meticulously mapped
out her own plan to counter their attacks on
Esther, herself or any other innocent student
not knowing fully that the hunter had now
become the hunted.
One evening while Esther was going to the
venue for the singing practice, Folake saw
Maris and Isabel following her. She too
followed them to know if they were going to
harm her so that she could counter them. She
did not know that they had a different plan.
Meanwhile, Benny was also following Folake
to witness the drama, to see for herself the
power contest between Folake and the small
maidens of the marine cult. Benny looked and
saw Anita and pinky hiding behind a
classroom with their attention concentrated on Folake. She became curious. She stopped and
hid somewhere to find out what they wanted
to do to Folake. They brought out a catapult
and aimed it at Folake. Benny saw the danger
and wanted to call Folake's attention but she
felt they would turn against her if she openly
accosted them. She thought of how to stop
them before they would release the iron cone
in the catapult and an idea came to her mind.
She picked a big stone and threw it on the
roof of the building in which they were
hiding. The stone landed with a shattering
noise on the zinc that made the two girls
scamper away in terror. The noise also drew
Folake's attention and when she looked at the
direction, she saw two girls slithering away as
fast as their legs could carry them but she did
not recognize who they were. They made
good their escape. It was later in the night that
Benny told her what happened. Folake was
jolted. The situation had become really
serious.
"Could it be that they are now after me or
what?" she asked.
"I think they are because they were
seriously aiming the catapult at you and I wonder what would have happened if they
had succeeded," Benny replied.
Folake stood still for a while and saw the
two girls as they aimed their catapult at her.
"No weapon fashioned against me shall
prosper. Thanks for saving me. As you can
see, you have indirectly joined me in this
perilous mission to save," Folake joked.
"Joined you in what? Spare me o! But how
come you did not see that one?" Benny asked.
"Which one do you mean?"Folake replied
with another question.
"The attack on you," "Benny answered.
"There is no way I can see everything. I
don't even pray to see beyond what I am
seeing now. It's only God that sees and knows
everything. Do you want me to run mad? I am
already seeing enough please and I can't wait
for this whole drama to stop," Folake said in
disgust and Benny shook her head in pity for
her.
"I understand how you feel but I believe
God knows why he allows you to pass
through all these and I am sure he will always
protect you," Benny assured.

"Amen! I can hardly even concentrate on
my studies. But I noticed something...I seem
to be more intelligent now even though I
rarely have time to study," Folake pointed out.
"Yes o! I noticed it too and I know it is
God at work because you are also working for
him. So, what do you do about the present
attacks on you?" Benny asked expecting an
instant answer as before.
She was disappointed because her friend
had none. They both began to map out their
own strategies.
Folake told Benny that once they were not
up to four members in their meeting, they
would not discuss any meaningful thing that
day. They agreed that the best way to distract
them was to ensure that anytime they had a
meeting, one of them must be missing so that
they cannot form a quorum.
"How do you intend to achieve that?"
Benny asked as usual.
"Don't know yet but I have to find out
when they will first meet," Folake replied.
While Folake and Benny were busy
tackling the marine cultists, they temporarily
forgot Michael and Larry. They were too busy to even remember that they existed much less
discuss them or think of calling them. But
Michael and Larry had been busy trying their
eyes on the two super girls again. They hung
around their school to know if they could
meet Folake and Benny again for weeks
without success. They struck gold one
evening that Folake and Benny took
permission to go to the market. Benny did not
have it easy with them that evening. She
confronted them eyeball-to-eyeball and
openly accused them of attempted r**e and
drug peddling.
"What do you want from us again, you
rapists and drug peddlers?" she asked the boys
in a very hash tone.
"We have come to apologize for what
happened that day. Please, find it in your
hearts to forgive us," Michael pleaded.
"Please leave us before a teacher sees us
with you people and insinuates something
else," Benny told them and walked out on
them before they had time to open their
mouths further. But the boys were not put off.
They drove away and stopped further away
from the school gate and waited for them. The girls crassly ignored them and they kept
pestering and begging Folake and Benny until
they changed their minds and forgave them.
They became friends once again. Folake had
seen full repentance in them; so they were
free with the boys.
"Thanks for forgiving us. At least, we can
now have peace of mind," Michael said
remorsefully.
"But jokes apart, how did you find out our
plans if I may ask?" Larry asked and Michael
nodded in support of the question. Folake and
Benny looked at each other and smiled.
"Forget what is written on the car and
enter it," Benny replied and they laughed.
"Haha! What if the car would take you to
the kidnappers or ritualists?" Michael joked
and they all laughed again.
"But seriously, we have been pondering on
how you got to know about it," Larry said
somewhat serious.
"Actually, it's a long story. So let us leave
it for another day. But I promise to tell you at
the right time," Folake assured.
"Alright then, if you say so," they agreed
happily.

When it was time for the girls to get back
to school, the boys dropped them off and
promised to always visit them on their visiting
days. That was how Michael and Larry
became their friends and desisted from
harming other innocent girls.
Later in the night while everyone was
asleep, Folake had her tell-tale signal again.
She listened attentively and heard some
footsteps and woke up. With the spiritual eyes,
she saw eight legs walking towards their
meeting point and she became worried.
"I must do something to stop this meeting
else I would be in trouble. But how do I do
this?" she asked herself.
She remembered how she stopped them in
her earlier dream when she went and called
the security men.

"I think this is the only way out for now,"
she said and got up from the bed. She tiptoed
out of the dormitory and went to the security
house.
The security men were deeply asleep when
she arrived there. She tapped them gently and
they jumped up, feigning alertness.

"Who is that?" one of them shouted as he
shone torchlight on Folake.
"It's me, a student," Folake replied.
"What are you looking for here by this
time of the night? You are supposed to be
sleeping?" the second one asked.
"Yes but some people are about to rob the
school," she lied.
"What? Where?" they asked her and she
pointed at the place the girls were having the
meeting.
The security men immediately got their
weapons and moved to the place. As soon as
the girls saw them, they ran back to their
dormitory. The security men got there and
saw no one but they saw their footprints and
confirmed that people really gathered there.
They looked back to ask Folake where exactly
they were but she was nowhere to be found.
They searched round and round the whole
school till dawn broke without success. But
smart Folake achieved her objective: she
stopped their meeting that night from holding.
The following morning, Folake prepared
for school and when she wanted to use the
mirror, what she saw of herself in the mirror scared her badly. She saw herself in the midst
of the marine girls and before she knew it,
they had already pounced on her and beaten
her up mercilessly. One of them raised a knife
to stab her and the mirror fell off her hands
and smashed to pieces. She became afraid.
Her hands shook uncontrollably as she
trembled in fear. She knew something had
was about to happen to her from her enemies
but what exactly it was, she could not
understand immediately.
So she did not concentrate in school
throughout out that day. Her mind was filled
with the thought of how she would stop that
dangerous attack on her because it was
already obvious to her that those girls were
determined to deal with her.
"How do I stop this? God, I really need
your help now more than ever. How do I
continue to stop their subsequent meetings so
that they won't be able to plan? And for how
long shall I continue like this?" she asked
herself. She kept thinking until an idea came
into her mind.

"Yes, I must start with this. I will make
sure they are never complete in their meetings
again," she decided.
One day, she spied on the ogbanje girls
and overheard them discussing about a party
that was to happen in town. Normally, they
would jump across the school fence and
attend parties and jump back very early in the
morning when they return. Others did not
want to go for the party but Maris insisted
because it was her boyfriend who organized
it. So, after listening to their discussion,
Folake nodded and went to meet Benny. She
told Benny about the party that Maris was
meant to attend and how she would expose
her so that Maris would be caught and
suspended from school for some weeks. This
would prevent them from holding their
normal meetings.
"How would you expose her?" Benny
asked zealously.
"Normally, they would jump over the
fence at night to leave and do the same when
they come back very early in the morning. I
will arrange for the security to catch her and
you know what that means; two good months of suspension and two good months of relief
for us. Let me see how they can meet without
her," she explained and Benny applauded her
for the wonderful idea.
"Good thinking!" Benny exclaimed, "You
are simply more than conqueror!" she
concluded.

Season 2, Episode 8

The remaining members of the marine
kingdom were not happy over what
happened in the school and the role
Esther played. They consequently convened a
meeting at midnight to discuss what happened
to their members and the way forward. They
singled out Esther as being the tool that was
used to rob them of their members. They saw
her as a threat to their kingdom and so they
had to do something about her.

"I think the first step is for some of us to
join the singing group and cause confusion
there before she grooms other anointed
singers," Isabel suggested.
"I support what Isabel suggested. By doing
so, we shall scatter their gathering and
discourage the members from attending the
practices," Anita supported.
"How do we intend to achieve that?" asked
Maris.
"Simply by causing chaos each time we go
for practice. By the time it happens over and over, everybody would lose interest. And as
we do that, we will also think of a way to
initiate Esther and make her our own powerful
agent," Isabel expatiated and they gave her a
standing ovation. Immediately, they clapped,
Folake opened her eyes and got up from the
bed. She heard everything they discussed even
as she was sleeping. She looked round and
nodded her head. She then prayed and went
back to sleep.
Isabel and Maris joined the singing group
the next Wednesday. Immediately Folake saw
that they had joined, she too joined them to
closely monitor and defuse their evil plots.
Benny refused to join. She said she wanted to
observe what was happening from outside.
Folake did not want to force her or persuade
her further. She allowed her to do what she
wanted.
There came a day they had the singing
practice and the agents of the marine world
décided to share some bewitched sweets
among the members before they would start
singing. The sweets were meant to crack their
voices so that they would not sing well.
Folake looked at Maris intently in her eyes and saw their plans with the bewitched
sweets. She smiled and pretended as if she had
seen nothing. So when they gathered for the
practice, Maris told them that her parents sent
her some edibles from London; that she
wanted to share with them. Most of them
knew that her parents lived in London and so
they all believed her and wanted to accept it,
but Folake intervened.

"We don't have to eat it now until after
practice because sweets do crack voices. Let
me have them. I will share them after the
practice session. Nevertheless, thanks a lot,"
she said and Maris reluctantly handed her the
sweets. She was very angry though she never
suspected that Folake had known their plan.
Midway into the rehearsals, Folake excused herself and went to the toilet and disposed of all the sweets. After rehearsals, some of the students accosted her over the sweets but she lied to them that she left the sweets there to visit the toilet.

"I did not go with the sweets," she told
Maris and the members of the singing group
who had confronted her. "I left them there because I knew I might not come back
because I am having stomach upset," she lied.
They believed her and concluded that
someone might have been selfish and took all
of them. They all left her, sadly. Benny
congratulated her for a job well done.

The cultists were disappointed that Maris
could not carry out her assignment very well.
They did not even want to know what actually
happened. They decided to attack Esther
directly so that she would not organize any
further practices.

Esther was also a very intelligent young
girl. Students always approached her to put
them through some difficult topics in areas
they did not understand. So, the marine
cultists capitalized on that to get to her.
Before the next practice, Maris and Isabel
pleaded with Esther to teach them some topics
during the night. She took time in teaching
them until it was very late at night. She became so weak after they had gone that she did not even know when she slept off without eating or even praying. So the marine cultists attacked her spiritually while she was asleep and they gave her some food to eat in the dream. She ate it and when she woke up, she
discovered that she had lost her voice. She
prayed and prayed but it was already too late.
She could hardly talk.
Folake noticed that something was wrong
with Esther but she could not see it clearly.

She decided to go and see her and find out
how the next practice would be. Esther told
her how she ate in her dream and lost her
voice and Folake did not know when she
made a betraying statement.

"So, they have finally succeeded," she said
and Esther raised her eyebrows.
"Who has finally succeeded and how have
they succeeded?" Esther managed to ask in a
faint voice.
"Never mind, but you know what; the
practices must hold," Folake told her firmly,
"We must put the devil to shame."

"I know but with which voice would I sing
or am I going to turn to a voiceless choir
mistress?" Esther joked.

"Don't worry, I will help you out but
please no matter how weak you are after the
day's work, make sure you pray before
sleeping," Folake told her and left immediately. It was then that Esther remembered that she did not pray that night.
She was shocked that Folake knew that she
did not pray that night.

"How did she know that I did not pray
before sleeping and what is this all about in
the first place?" she wondered.

Maris and Isabel were the first to go for
the practice that day. They wanted to know
the magic Esther would perform on her voice
and how she would lead them in the
rehearsals. But to their utmost surprise,
Folake lead the rehearsals more successfully
than Esther had ever done. Though Esther was
there, she did not say a word.

Folake explained to them that Esther had lost her voice, that she would lead them on that day.
In fact, that day's session was something else.
It was so interesting that other students, who
were watching them, came and joined.

Maris and Isabel were uncomfortable throughout the period of the practice. They felt like devouring Folake alive for spoiling their business.
Folake later gave Esther olive oil mixed
with mustard seed and honey. They prayed over it and Esther licked it until her voice was
restored.
The agents of darkness had an emergency
meeting that night to discuss what happened
earlier in the day. In the course of their
discussion, they discovered that most of their
plans were destroyed by Folake.
"Something is wrong somewhere and it
would not be far from that Yoruba giri called
Folake," Anita said.
"Yes, you are right. Why is it that anytime
we plan something, somewhere, somehow,
that witch of a girl would surface and scuttle
our plans?" Isabel asked.
"First, she seized the sweets and now she
came and led the singing session and even
caused more people to join. That girl is up to
something mischievous and we have to stop
her now before she stops all of us and our
activities," Maris suggested.
"But how does she get to know our
plans?" Anita asked, doubt creeping onto
face.
"Do you know where she belongs?. I
suspect that girl seriously but by the time we are through with her, she would regret ever
coming to this school," Maris said cruelly.
"Let us first all ensure our safety before
talking of who to and who not to deal with.
Let's face it: we are fighting for own lives and
survival and if we do not act fast, we may be
finished before we know what hit us. So let us
come up with realistic plans and strategies to
meet this new and potent threat whether it is
Folake or someone else," Anita remarked
sensibly.
They immediately realized the truth of her
statement and there and then began 'to map out
some strategies they would use in dealing
with Folake and the threat she represented.
They decided to leave Esther for the time
being and concentrate more on Folake who
had become a bigger threat. But they did not
realize that the power they were up against
was supreme.
Immediately they took that decision. the
tell-tale signal in Folake's head jangled like
the sound of disused telephone and she
became instantly alert.

Season 2, Episode 7

Esther was known as a very peaceful
person in school. As the leading school
chorister, she always lived exemplary
life and hardly quarreled with anyone. On that
fateful day, Esther was in a queue to fetch
water. Just before her turn, another girl came
and put her bucket in front of Esther's own.
Ordinarily, as a peace-loving person, Esther
would have allowed her to fetch rather than
quarrel with her but because she was in haste,
she refused to allow her.
"I am sorry I can't allow you. I need to get
back to the dormitory and finish up my
assignment," Esther explained to the girl.
"Why must it be me that you will not
allow when you have been allowing others?"
Amaka asked.
"Are you forcing me to be kind to you?
See me see trouble o! Remove that bucket
now before I will remove it by myself,"
Esther told her and everyone in queue shouted at the girl to behave herself because they had never seen Esther in that manner. Just then,
Folake and Benny arrived at the scene,
panting because of their run. Folake already
knew that Esther was very angry and so she
thought of how to stop her from fighting with
Amaka.
Esther and Amaka were poised for the
fight. Folake, pretending as if she was
attempting to hold back Amaka, gently
pushed her aside. Amaka stepped on the leg of
one of the students that was already angry
with her for her rudeness to Esther and,
subsequently, a serious fight ensued between
them. Before they could stop the fight, a
student had already called a teacher to the
scene. It was a serious offence to fight in
school, punishable by two weeks of
suspension. So, their own case was not
different. Benny was not happy that Amaka
and the girl she fought with went on
suspension.
"See what you have caused now," Benny
confronted Folake, "These innocent girls have
been suspended for what they knew nothing
about," she complained.

"I am sorry about that, but that was the
only way to prevent Esther from fighting and
getting suspended," Folake explained.
"You would have stopped the suspension
entirely!" Benny maintained.
"It wouldn't have been that easy. Those
people had sacrificed for this mission to be
accomplished. Would you have preferred that
Esther went on suspension while I faced what
I saw in the dream?" she asked Benny who
could not find a suitable answer.
Benny kept quiet but after a while, she
spoke out.
"I am getting scared of this whole drama."
Folake assured her that nothing would
happen to her.
The next Monday morning was the day the
Man of God was to visit their school. Some of
the students that were members of the marine
kingdom refused to go to the assembly that
morning. They stayed back in their dormitory
that morning and hid under their beds so that
the demons in them would not be cast out.
So when the Man of God climbed onto the
podium on the assembly ground, he saw with
spiritual eyes what baffled him. A good number of the students were already initiated
into the marine cult and most of them did not
even know. He ordered everyone to close
their eyes for
prayers.
"God of Children, the hour has come for
you to deliver your children from this
bo***ge of the evil ones. Send forth your
spirit and make your presence manifest before
your children gathered here," he prayed then
began to sing. The students joined and they
sang songs of worship. Esther did not even
know when she took over from the Man of
God.
Immediately Benny heard her voice, she
opened her eyes, looked at Folake and smiled.
Folake nodded her head and smiled back and
they continued praying. As Esther sang, she
was moved by the spirit, pacing about the
podium. The Man of God laid his hands on
her and her voice became more melodious
than ever. As She sang and moved around,
anywhere she passed, some students fell down
and the demons were cast out from them. The
Man of God noticed what was happening and
he made a joyful praise onto the lord. Esther
continued to move around like that and almost every student that was possessed by the evil
spirit was set free. Some of them even made
some incredible confessions on how they had
been operating. It was a very remarkable day
in their school. Immediately after the
deliverance, the principal declared that day a
lesson-free day for all the students.
The Man of God pleaded with the school
authority to allow Esther to organize singing
lessons for students so that through singing,
many more souls would be won for God. Of
course the school authority did not hesitate to
grant that request. So, Esther began to
organize choir lessons and rehearsals.
Students congratulated her on her success and
on the miracles God performed through her
voice.
Esther soon became the talk of the students
throughout that period in her school and
beyond. She thus became very popular and
her spiritual powers grew.
Folake and Benny were very happy at the
turn-out of things. The two of them celebrated
it joyfully, but the celebration did not last
long. Folake's mood suddenly changed and
Benny noticed it and wondered why.

"What is it again? Why has your mood
suddenly changed when we should be
celebrating the success of your mission?"
Benny asked.
"The mission is not yet accomplished, in
fact the battle has just begun," Folake replied,
staring at an empty space.
"Do you know that you sound scary at
times," Benny said, frowning. "What do you
mean by that?" she asked further.
"Esther is in trouble. Those members who
were not delivered will come to see that they
initiate her into that cult or they will eliminate
her. The same thing they did to me in the
dream," Folake replied sadly.
"What? I thought all of them were
delivered," Benny said.
"No! Not all. Some of them dodged the
assembly while some were too powerful to be
delivered that time," Folake answered,
"So what do you do now? I suggest you
report them to the school authority so that
they will either come out of it or face instant
expulsion," Benny suggested.

"I do not think that would work because
there is no material evidence that they are
members of the marine cult," Folake replied.
"So, what do you do? Or will you allow
Esther to pass through what you experienced
in your dream?" Benny asked.
"That is why I said that the battle has just
begun. I will have to stop their activities and
you have to join me in this fight please," she
pleaded.
Benny did not know when she shouted on
top of her voice and attracted attention.
"What? Join you in what fight? Please o! I
am not seeing what you are seeing, so do not
involve me o!" Benny shouted.
Folake spent time trying to convince
Benny to join her on her mission to save the
students from the evil torment of the marine
cultists. She, however, assured her that
nothing would happen to her as they would
use natural means to distract the activities of
the evil ones.
"You don't have to be scared of anything.
It's not going to be a spiritual thing. All we
have to do is distract them physically after I must have seen their game plan," Folake
explained to her.
"How exactly do you mean? I'm really
scared ooo!" Benny said shaking with fright.
"Just like I did when Esther wanted to
fight with Amaka. Don't worry, I will protect
you along this journey," Folake assured her.
Benny reluctantly accepted to join Folake
on her mission, but Folake had to again
reassure her of her safety and also that it
would not interfere so much with their
studies.

Season 2, Episode 6

Back at home, Folake's mother was still
in her sister's house racking her brain
on how best to return to her husband's
house as advised by some good friends.
Shame and pride would not allow her to
simply go back. However, she also did not
want Folake to know about it so that she could
concentrate on her studies.

On one of their visiting days, Grace
decided to visit Folake at school. When she
arrived, Folake's school daughter welcomed
her carefully. She then went and called
Folake. As Folake approached, she peered at
her mother's eyes and saw her packing out of
their house. She became worried. Folake ran
to her, knelt down and held her hands tightly.
"Mama, how are you? How is papa? What
of the lady he came back with?" she asked her
rapidly and breathlessly.

Grace managed with great effort to control
herself and to calm Folake's nerves.

"Everybody is fine. The lady is still there.
See what your father asked me to give you,"
she said and brought out some provisions, but
Folake was rather more interested in knowing
the truth about ler family.

"Mama, all is not well. Don't tell me papa
has driven you out of the house," she inquired
and Grace almost lost control again. She,
however, managed again to control herself,
convincing her daughter that all was well.
"We are fine, Folake. So, how are you
coping?"

"As you can see, I'm fine. I am only
worried about you people," Folake replied.
"No, it should be the other way around.
We should worry about you instead. Just take
very good care of yourself and make us proud.
Remember to be careful because of the dream
you had," Grace advised.
"I am on top of the situation," Folake
asured her, "Trust me."

"Okay, if you say so," Grace said, relaxing
somewhat.
Some of Folake's friends came to greet
Grace, and she gave them fruits. When it was time, they saw her to the gate and she went
home.

Grace went back to her sister's house with
red eyes. She wept all the way home for lying
to Folake. She hardly told lies and even if she
did, not to her beloved daughter.

"Mama Folake, what is the problem? Why
are your eyes red like that? How is Folake?"
Bimbo asked in quick succession.

"Folake is fine. It's just that she seems to
know about my condition. She kept on asking
me disturbing question," she replied in tears.

"Why wouldn't she know when she had seen everything in her dream? I just hope that
you go back to your husband's house before
the students come home on vocation," Bimbo
advised.

"I hope so too but how do I go back to that
house after being humiliated? My pride is at
stake. And that husband snatcher, Asoh or
whatever she calls herself, will laugh at me,"
Grace said bitterly.
"It's your house and that is where you belong. Do not forget that a similar incident happened to me, resulting in why I'm still single till date, and of course, you know what I'm passing through as a result. So, you better
learn from my experience. In any case, from
the girl has not started what you told me,
making a nuisance of herself.
You were rashin your first action and that incurred your husband's wrath and everybody is blaming you. I advise that you go home and bid your time. She will make a mistake. They always do. And you will be justified when you
strike," Bimbo advised.

"God, please help me out of this situation.
My daughter will not stand it if she discovers
I am no longer with her father," Grace prayed
and went inside to map out strategies on how
to go back to her husband's house.

On the other end, Mr. Alabi already battled
with his conscience for laying his hands on
his wife. He regretted his actions and wished
to bring her back, but some men who
witnessed what happened encourage him not
to make the move.

"Don't even think of going to look for her
unless you want to make her the man of the
house when she returns," advised Timothy.

"I blame myself for laying my hands on
her. What I had never done before," Mr. Alabi
regretted.
"But this is the only language women
understand at times. If you want to bring her
back, then get ready to fight because she will
never allow this innocent lady to remain in
this house. If she comes back on her own, she
would be loyal and respectful to both of you,"
Timothy concluded and went to his house,
leaving a distraught Alabi more confused than
he had been.
Asoh was eavesdropping on them and
heard everything they discussed clearly.
When Timothy left, she came and sat beside
Mr. Alabi.
"I heard all you discussed with your friend
and I must confess that you were wrong. Go
and look for your wife. If she returns and
insists that I leave, no problem. Every woman
would feel the same way. Bring her back and
let God's will be done," she counseled
maturely.
Mr. Alabi looked at her and nodded in assent to her suggestion.

"Thank you my dear. I pray she accepts
you as a member of this family."
"I pray so too," she said, and Mr.Alabi
hugged her innocently.
Immediately he hugged her, Folake saw it
in her dream and woke up from her sleep.
"What have I just seen? No! no!!no!!! This
cannot happen." Before she knew what was
happening, tears had already welled up in her
eyes.
"I knew all was not well but mama would
not tell me the truth...." She was still in
thought when a student came in and diverted
her attention with school activities.
Folake began to lose weight as a result of
too much thinking. She was always alone and
was always moody. Everybody avoided her
except Benny and her school daughter who
loved and cared for her very much. She
continued to disturb Folake on what was
bothering her until Folake told her.
"It's like my father has finally thrown my
mother out and is living with that lady," she
confided in Benny.
"What? How do you know?" Benny asked.

"I saw him hugging the girl while I was
taking my nap. Though it was not clear, I
know something is obviously wrong
somewhere," Folake replied.
"I thought your mum said they were fine,"
Benny inquired.
"Yes she said so but that might just be to
calm my curiosity. I am confused. The Man of
God is coming on Monday and I am yet to
decide on the right step to take to stop these
impending troubles on me or anybody else.
God, please get me out of this," she cried.
Benny, did not know what to say or do
again. She just kept quiet, shaking her head in
pity for what Folake was going through. After
a while Folake nodded her head and smiled.
"I think I know what to do," she said,
smiling.
"Really? That sounds good. So what is it
you intend on doing?" Benny asked.
"Like I told you earlier, in that dream I
went out to sing because Esther was not in
school that day. So this time around, I will
make sure she is in school to sing," Folake answered.

"How do you intend to achieve that? Will
you go and force her to come to school if she
is not supposed to be in school that day?"
Benny asked.

"Why wouldn't she want to be in school?
She was absent in school the day the Man of
God came because she committed an offence
and was given two weeks suspension and it
fell within that period that the Man of God
came," Folake replied.

"Really?" Benny asked and adjusted her seat.
"Yes. So, I have to stop her from doing
that thing that led to her suspension. For
instance, if I had removed that stone, that
junior student wouldn't have hit her toe on it
and the injury would have been averted,"
Folake expatiated.

"It's true o! Which means you can use
physical means to stop the misfortunes unless
when the ogbanje comes into plays," Benny
said.

"Yes though I still need divine wisdom
and strength to overcome them," Folake said.
"Of course God will always be there with
you. Don't you know he might be the one who has sent you on this mission to save the
students? This is not ordinary!" Benny stated
clearly.

Just then, Folake closed her eyes and after
a while, she opened it and stood up.

"Benny, there is not much time left. Esther
is about to fight a student which would lead to
her suspension. I must stop her now!" she said
and left Benny there. Benny ran after her.

"Wait for me!" Benny shouted as she ran after her fast moving friend.
