About the author

My training in Entrepreneurship, especially in Impact Businesses, enough to know that 90% of startup business ventures fail on or before celebrating their fifth birthday, leaving their owners devastated with unfulfilled dreams of prosperity owing to inherent dry spells of ideas and capacity; I feel more enabled to touch their needs in this therapeutic piece of work (and side support) to help them bounce back even more successfully.

In this era of social media and improved communication technologies which have ushered in dry spells in communication, where break-ups have become a norm, I am a safe pair of hands as a peer educator to victims of relationship break-ups.

A couple of weeks after the Church Executives sentence Jezril and Magdel for misconduct, Jezril’s wife, who stormed out of church 4 years earlier in protest of her husband’s loose character with married faithfuls, intercepts her husband’s fresh love texts exchanges with Magdel – shares them widely in church.

Zoar dissolves his marriage and takes Abigah, Pastor Jezril takes care of Magdel in hiding, withdraws from his wife for a year; his wife leaves with their children. Three relationships destroyed out of dry spells in love, communication and finance.
