Dear Whoever...
Dear Whoever , My Story is one characterized by heartbreaks, broken trusts, empty promises and abruptly sunken friendships much like Cameron’s Titanic. Where I can start isn’t a problem but when it would end is probably at the tip of a blade, dislodged...

The Thoughts Series: Rabbit's Foot
It’s been over twenty five years and I clearly still remember the stench of the gutters, the dirt that laid gracefully at the side of the road, the original 3D potholes that beautifully designed the already life threatening roads, the smell of poverty...

The Thoughts Series: Leap Off Faith...
In the end, it would either hurt like a bitch or it’d take me into peaceful oblivion where there’s nothing but darkness and darkness has always seemed welcoming, no, darkness is deep and deep is good, deep is peaceful. I could help you Jimmy, if you can’t...

The Spice of Life.
There's a thin line that exists between love and hate...how exactly can two powerful emotions be seperated by just a thin line? Oh well, its not my business so let me blow my whistle and drink garri. Now, ignore all that I just said, that was for lack...

It is a little past 1 am on the 19th of March and as I gulp down the liquid fire that is this bottle of Campari, I think how my life has changed, quickly I pick my phone and send a text to Aly, “I just did it” and while we are talking via text, I can...

If Walls Could Talk...
What if the wind had a voice, the hills a thunderous vocal, the sky let off its secrets like raindrops, doors never shut and ajar was the point of all treason… what if walls could talk? Secrets are meant to spill, for rules were made to be broken, if...

Take Charge 2.0
*Selong Though the storms may roar, The winds may seemingly pull me back, Though things and facts may seem awkward, improper and out-of-place, Though the tears may want to flow like a storm’s aftermath, Though time cannot be reversed, I stand and say...

The Fence.
There's always the other side, the flip end of the coin, the greener patch that belongs to your neighbour, the air that feels fresher on the other side of the boarding school fence... The other side of the 'Fence'. There's always the other side. Because...

Apathetic, Exhausted, Philophobic... Hopeful
So I'm writing this morning because I regressed again and while I'm not sad about it, I'm left wondering when I'll put the past in the past and be able to move on with life, unburdened by the memories of what was, unbothered by the thoughts of what could...

For The Hatred Of New Beginnings
You know how motivational speakers tell you starting over is the best thing that can sometimes happen to you... That is premium bullsh*t. Waking up every morning, knowing you have to face the same reality is hell on earth; so maybe this is a test run...
