Poetry

Oh yeah, aside from my blog of poetry, I got inspired to try my hand at 2 fresh pieces. I must say reading La Reine’s blog made me want to try out poetry once again. Oh yeah I wrote two different poems not at a go though, over let’s say3 days.   My Pride You [...]

Nigeria: Outside The Box

Now I have promised myself that, this is the last post I will ever write on Nigeria. Not because I don’t care, but because if I cannot lift my hands and make a change, I will not write about it. Not anymore. Today though, I lift my pen and point my thoughts to events that [...]

The Art of Lying

*Ahem* cleans cobwebs, wipes mike, dusts keyboard. No I am not here to talk about the movie. *inserts many moments of sitting down with a blank stare thinking of nothing* Oh yeah, that is it, I just remembered what I thought about. Lying. Now when it comes to lies, I have heard many, seen many [...]

Re: The Meeting with Miss Meddle

Oh yes, I just have to talk. I can’t resist, plus this gist can’t be one sided can it (@rethots)? Contrary to what has been said and implied, I have been trying to see Miss Meddle since October, however the initial attempt nearly lost me my head, so I have been treading carefully ever since. [...]

In Search for Truth

The past 7 days have brought with them a mixture of feelings for me. From busy days at work (yes, busy days) to thoughts ranging from sad to mad, happy to depressed. Made plans that didn’t work out, heard my first bomb blast. Through all this however, one thing has been on my mind.. Truth. [...]

Marking Papers

Imagine a professor, a teacher, whatever marking papers at night before reading the post below. Oh yes add candlelight or lamplight for the cosy effect. He searched through the paper looking for any way to upgrade his student’s scores so they could pass. He searched all through the night and most of the day because really, he [...]

Single Nigerian Meets MissMeddle – Literally…

My darlings who no longer love me – if ever at all you did… I have gist. Fresh, hot, beautiful gist. After our initial meeting, I was finally granted permission to meet His Majesty!! Let me give you the breakdown of how it all went down. So then, there we were staring at each other, [...]

Know Yaself

Now everyone knows or should know what the term “Know Yourself” refers to. Sadly this post has nothing to do with Self Service or Precipitate (as Nairaland calls it). For this post to really make sense to you, I want you to imagine this… Imagine a long line of people waiting to get pounded yam, [...]

Royal Tips

I wrote something related to this a while back and while the the 2 posts are similar, in that they are regarding behavior expected, they are quite different and should be seen as such… That is the pitiful beginning I have to this post. Apologies. There are two things I have found common to most [...]

High Blood Pressure!!!

Time of Posting: After 1.30am It starts with sweaty palms and ends with a massive attack of freak out. No I am not talking about blocked arteries or heart attacks, I am talking about what happens when a dude gets cornered. This is how it happens… Sweaty palms: caused by minor emotional dysfunction or confusion [...]

Easter Blues

Was there a rabbit in the tomb? There have been so many questions and thoughts on my mind in the past week. It is funny how questions you thought were answered ages ago come up with a new twist and twists your mind like crazy. I will try not to sermonize (although it is a [...]

21 or so Questions?

Now I have started, stopped then deleted many posts in the past week. Partly because I have nothing to write and partly because after the truly crappy post I wrote last time, I sincerely believe that my next post has to be either totally awesome, or even more crappy than the last one. Apologies for [...]
