Day Sixteen- #40DaysAppreciation Challenge
When I look at them, I ask myself What motivates them? What make them wake up in the morning And want to come for class Could it be the fear of a query? A need to just show face And avoid bearing the name of an unserious lecturer Could it be a desire for survival […]
Day Fifteen-#40DaysAppreciation Challenge
I saw them laughing hysterically As they rounded up their meals The look in her eyes Same of a newly Wed Yet well advanced in age “I Love you deeply”, she said. But just this morning, She had fought him For he had forgotten it Her birthday, Not that he really forgot But he had […]
Day Fourteen-#40DaysAppreciation Challenge
To the single mothers To the single daddies Saviours of a rather odious circle It’s even not about what happened Nor a question of how you got here But of your endurance and optimism Of your emerging response-ability How you manage to keep going on Your head above the murky oceans Of guilt, discrimination, and […]

Day Eight- #40DaysAppreciation Challenge
#LoveWednesday I remember the day #Adeola-mi said ‘Yes’, and I wrote about it, someone said congratulations and I was like “like seriously?”…Congratulations ké?
