I MISS YOU
I remember the first night we shared As we journeyed that lonely road As the streetlight cascaded your face I knew I was with her, the one I had waited for. “Don’t ever leave me”, I whispered Many nights have passed now And I can’t imagine you not here with me Gosh! I miss you […]
Did you miss me?
Have you missed me? Cos I’ve missed you With every passing day I stood away Away from your smiles, The warmth of your hands as you type your chats The moments we shared kept ringing in my ears Especially Wednesday nights and its stupendous lines I couldn’t wait again to relish the same with you […]
The Frustration
The frustration That makes us lose our inhibitions Trying to meet up with others But often swept under Yearning for our voices to be heard But never making it pass our beards The frustration That makes us ignore our passions “Anything!, just get me out of the backstage” Feeling no shame on our faces It’s […]
Oh Law! By Khose

There you see people charged for adultery, for gang-rape, incest etc. You […]

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 […]
Same Nonsense
Sadly, some of our preachers are guilty of the same things they accuse other preachers of; they’ve only found more Greek and Hebrew words, bible verses in several translations, and more time (as against the exhortations they call the sermons of the other preachers) to dress and package theirs-same thing, same direction, same commodity, same […]
The Man who Never Falls
The man who never falls… Little by little he moves on Crawling but he never falls Gradually he gains speed Navigating cluelessness and utter confusion He hits a break wall but he never stops Till he finds his way circumventing the maze Now he’s walking Through the confusion of his adulthood Combating webs of doubts, […]
