‘Nobody messes up and goes free’, he whispered in his mind as he paced around the room. He punched the wall for the second time and while he felt no pain, there was a bruise his other hand unconsciously touched and rubbed the blood in his palm. He then blurted out loud “damn”. Later that […]

A day that laced my father’s eyes with smiles and planted a ‘cannot-be-uprooted’ love in my mother’s heart. I was told I was heavy and I didn’t take too much time to come. I was a boy with no brain and no ability to remember that day but yearly I don’t forget this day that […]

“Hello! Welcome to your new home. Over here, we don’t know each other but we are brothers. If at all you must speak; love, kindness and empathy are the three major languages. Sarcasm will be allowed if only you listen to me, Sir Kazeem. I know you miss home but we all know China isn’t […]

Foreplay or four play It was the night of our wedding anniversary and a day before Valentine; I wanted to give Karen one of the most memorable night of her life. I took her to her favourite restaurant, ordered her favourite chicken soup, had her favourite song ‘lullaby’ play while we ate and I, her […]

The city of Ife was not as quiet in the night as it appeared during the day. The after noon was for serious businesses. Around Sabo, area, tons of kolanuts are packaged in large green leaves, and looking at the large bags, waiting to be loaded in big trucks going to the northern part of […]

My friend Miriam lost her mum this Sunday. So we her friends converged at her house in Karu, Abuja to mourn with her and keep her company. A grieving house is a magnet for phony characters. Some people come to cry, some come for the food, some come for the stories, and others come to […]

When you lose someone, people say a lot of things. Like “it will get better with time.” But does it really ever get better? Time makes it seem like you should forget, but what about the scars?
