Religious Threats
I had always thought people should be saints in places where full sharia’’ is practiced. I have always expected people to never do wrong in such places where there are heavy penalties but to my surprise, they appear to be even more notorious. There you see people charged for adultery, for gang-rape, incest etc. You […]
Their Version of God
So…it was in church, two Sundays ago, that the Drama department had this presentation; it was a great presentation, at least in terms of the creativity of the actors. It was only when they started this depiction of God that I began to wonder, “Which God is this?” It was clearly not the God that […]
Love Is Sweet When…
#LoveWednesday #Adeola-mi Love is sweet when… All is seemingly okay and it seems she has all the right words to say Traffic is lighter and emotions flow from one to another She agrees to walk home so we can hold hands Her ‘atlas’ and ‘yanshicamara’ is well packaged She hugs you tight and your pulse […]

My Beautiful Red
I remember the first time I set eyes on you Having read so much about you I had waited several days to finally met you And lo, I met you just as beautiful Being the first to ever lay hands on you You were in deed my virgin red The first night we met, I […]
Drifting Away From Love
#ItisPossible Is this how one begins to drift away from love? Is this how ones heart begins to glow for another? Is this how relationships eventually break? Is this how an affair begins to take place? All she had was her sensitivity She seems to be able to pick out the slightest changes in my […]
The Philistine Army
I thought the terror of the Philistines was always an indication that the Israelites had forsaken God. I thought the Philistines come to oppress the children of the covenant only when they have forsaken their first Love. I thought their response was not to devise strategies to conquer the Philistines but rather to go back […]
