She had not always believed in ghosts but hearing and seeing these women talk about it was just-queer.

"it was in the market place ujunwa saw him!". The woman who seemed very enthusiastic spoke, her vein sharing in the same passion as it became very visible on her neck. "she saw him, her husband, he has been dead for five years now".she continued, counting her fingers to illustrate.

The Chronicles of Bewa by Gbolade97
41 parts Ongoing Mature
"The Chronicles of Bewa" unfolds the gripping narrative of a young Nigerian woman who defied the odds, marrying her celebrity crush against a mere 0.1% chance. She believed her troubles had come to an end, but what appeared to be a dream come true soon turned into a harrowing ordeal. Can Bewa endure a life designed to shatter her, or will she succumb to the expectations set upon her, breaking like a fragile piece of glass? "The Chronicles of Bewa" is a fictional work that incorporates some real-life characters, and I want to extend proper credit to the respective owners of these characters. Additionally, certain events in this narrative are inspired by historical occurrences, while others are entirely fictitious. Any resemblance between the story events and real-life events is purely coincidental. Furthermore, I'd like to clarify that the images used in this story do not belong to me. Proper credit is given to the rightful owners of these images.

Saved by my nightmare (A Nigerian Story) by ameenarrh
75 parts Complete Mature
You know how it feels when those you love are the key factors as to why you are scarred physically and emotionally?. You don't? Well, Maliya Jamil can't really say the same thing. Thrown into a school to be tortured with only her scars as company; it's only a matter of time before she starts to wish for someone to talk to...even if it's death. A failed suicide attempt sends her back to her former life, but this time she's barely recognisable to those who once knew her. Hatred, regret, betrayal, forgiveness, and of course what's it all without a bit of heart wrenching romance. When childhood friends become enemies, and when feelings, once platonic, become jumbled up in a mix of love and hatred, Maliya can help but take solace in an external feud. Betrayal rears its ugly head, and it's all back to square one. Friendships are mended, and some are irreparable. Feelings spark and others dim. Seven years and a medical degree later, the dynamics of relationships have changed. And Maliya finds herself at crossroads, stuck between two men who've hurt her in their own ways. One with whom she spent the most memorable days of her youth, her best friend and the other, the only man who'd been by her when everyone else had betrayed her. Faced with a choice she dreads making, what will she do? Take a look into Saved by my nightmare, and see what happens when a scarred, vengeful girl makes her return.

Not on wattpad*** Scrolling down her phone, Zeena was reading her message log, when suddenly she stopped at a particular one that sent her heart racing, sending shivers down her spine. She almost dropped the phone. Not that she'd not seen odd messages before but this one, in particular, brought her world crashing; because she'd never seen this message before, how would it be that she was the person that sent it? How could she not remember ever writing this message? The words, the contents all didn't make sense. Her head started spinning and she felt light headed, her knees became weak like melted rubber. Before she knew what was happening she felt herself collapsing...

Azizah Yusuf is not your ordinary Arewa lady. At twenty-five and still unmarried, she has experienced more than one could ever endure in a life time -the brutalities of war, pain, grief, and heartbreak. Having fled from the war-ridden North-Eastern Nigeria, she and her parents are forced to start life from the scratch in one of the capital city's Area Councils. Despite how professional she appears to be, her past still hunts her and her only life goal is to live a peaceful life. Suraj Ahmad Suraj, an aristocratic medical doctor, has everything he has ever dreamt of. A good job, wealth, and a beautiful fiancée to show off. Though he has his own personal battles, he believes his life is quite perfect. This little perfection, however, was marred when a plain, yet sophisticated 'refugee' woman steps in, and forced Suraj to do a double take at his life. Despite their differences and the little resentment they hold against each other, Suraj and Azizah are forced to work together; both of them however, unaware, unprepared, and unexpectant of the adventures, challenges, as well as the tragedy that lay ahead of them... Not your everyday Wattpad story!
