If you’re indifferent and you had a couple of them, check this out. They are indeed, graceful and lovely. They got each other’s backs. They have the craziest gist. … More
In Search Of An Oasis
We are children to some people, but they also have children. We have ambitions as individuals or as a family, but they do, too. At the turn of a knob water gushes out for me, but no such commands exist in their own world. At the flip of a switch I get illumination, heat, a … More In Search Of An Oasis
The Wet Nurse
This piece was rendered some few weeks after an encounter with a woman doing something similar to this. She isn’t the mother of the baby she is feeding–she was only paid to do the job by the biological mother who cares more about preventing her breasts sagging than the welfare of the baby. One may wonder if … More The Wet Nurse
Victims of War (V.O.W)(Part 2)
How sad! I imagine the day the war at Aleppo began. Some young woman would have planned to be wedded the following weekend. A boy would have hoped to recover his debts from his friends the following day at school. A teacher would have prepared his lesson notes, a preacher had straightened out his sermon journal. … More Victims of War (V.O.W)(Part 2)
Victims of War (V.O.W) (Part 1)
Every living human is guided by the decisions they make. It is nothing to debate that every human decision is controlled by the individual’s measure of greed.

Deep Blue Explorers
So what am I expected to work on? My love for #NatGeoWild prompted this in 2011. These are ocean divers. My first encounter with this subject was in a Geography textbook in 1998 right when I was still in a Social Studies class in Junior High. My fondness for this subject broadened in 1999 when … More Deep Blue Explorers
Between The Rock And A Hard Place
…In fact, he hated her more than he had loved her. –2 Sam 13:15(NIV) That was one of the most profound rape cases history ever documented. Many have gone unnoticed. Even this particular case was no prosecuted–or maybe with weak hands. Not all innocence, though, not all her fault. Somehow careless, somewhat to not be blamed. … More Between The Rock And A Hard Place
Rehabilitation, Reconciliation, Reconstruction…where do we start from?
Just speaking my mind. Done in May, 2015, “Triple-R” is a call to my compatriots for us to find a new beginning. But can we really trust this Fulani guy with our lives, our resources, our families and our country at large? We are ruined, no doubt, but where do we begin from? We are … More Rehabilitation, Reconciliation, Reconstruction…where do we start from?
Pre-1960
Until we could say “No more!”, all we knew to do was to marvel at the sight of a strange skin colour and followed the bait of strange dish, articles foreknown not to us and a tongue hostile to our vocabulary.
