I AM IN LOVE WITH A CHURCH GIRL BY IFECHUKWU MUONYILI :





I am in love with a church girl

A heart so pure and pristine

High in ethereal grace and drowned in meekness

Voice melding with the chants of the congregation

Yet standing out for my listening pleasure.

I look on, gulping down her looks

Till I stand and feel my feet no more.


She is not an ordinary church girl

In my state of ecstasy, I could see through her heart.

A halo of stars graced her head.

Angels surround her, raising her feet above the ground

The air strong but mild on her skin


I am in love with a church girl

Eyes drawn to her while she prays

Her creamy eyes beaming with sincerity and hope

For a better tomorrow in a worse-off today.

When she touches me,

The anointing I feel is both sensual and spiritual.

Then a heart attack and a massive fall

‘Oops! Did I just fall by the touch of an unarmed hand?’

Dead daisy and unconsciously unstable

Stumbling on things like a cow on roller-skates.

She smiles at my awkwardness

My face completely ashen, my eyes sedated  

As I yet take another fall.

“God, please help me to open my eyes in her arms”

    I think I just opened my eyes now and I found myself in her arms. But yet I took a third fall. Gees! This is more than drunkenness. Can I ever wake up from this intoxication. Nice one bro

Is it 'off head', 'off hand' 'off pat' or 'by heart'?

I love all the new students in my class. You guys are awesome by the way. 😀😀 Today. I want to give you a better expression for saying that 'you know something very well'. #Offhead? There is nothing like offhead. 'I know it off head' is wrong. #Offhand? What does offhand mean? It mean without previous thought or consideration. Just like saying 'on the spur of moment' , 'immediately', 'spontaneously'. So, do you just know something offhand? No...not at all. You can say something offhand, do anything offhand but then it seems weird to say ' I know the answer offhand'. It is normal 'to say the answer offhand'. Do you get my drift? People don't know anything spontaneously, rather, they  say what they already know, spontaneously. Now to the final expression #HaveSomethingOffPat? It means to know something or be able to do something perfectly; be perfect master of something . So rather tha...

Do you say 'talk more of' or 'talk less of'? Also, how to pronounce 'parliament'

My beautiful KIB students, today,  you will be happy learning the correct way to express yourselves. Nigerians have a way of changing typical English expressions to suit them. Someone still had to argue with me that the English expression 'Better the devil you know than the devil you don't "  is so wrong and does not make sense.  He opines that angel should be there.  He forgets that English can be quite illogical to our Nigerian minds. Lol. People say things like. 'He has not even proposed talk more of walking down the aisle with me' 'He does not have a car,  talk less a house" Well these two expressions or collocations are not common in British and American English. Here are the universal conventional English collocations for Nigerian English's  'Talk more of' and 'Talk less of',  #LetAlone 'Let alone' is  used to indicate that something is far less likely or suitable than something else already mentioned. E.g ...
