My Fathers Children

May 19, 2013 in Poetry

On those patchy laterites My fathers children used to stoop and squat White chalk painted eyes Like crescent moon emitting smiling light Sprinkled blood statues of sacrificial fowls Left about the places of scattered feathers Of chewed kola nut and alligator pepper Yet, peace we knew. Hungry parched earth appeased Tongues-throats of our ancestors Of [...]

Letter To My Child

When God Seems Far

Act X: Forever Began

May 18, 2013 in Poetry

The cord none see Not in blood Deep in heart Assured in sleep The bondage of blood Where has that motion lead you to? The refusal of those who flow with the rivers far from you The acceptance of those who you deem right or left Am I related to you? Difference in skin and [...]

Mind-blowing Spousal Treatment

May 18, 2013 in Narrative Non-Fiction, Romance

I promised a piece written for the ladies on how to treat their spouse. Well, here it is. These are some of my personal secrets I hope to carry out someday. Women have this wrong notion that they’re the only ones who need romance but they seem to forget that men have needs too (and [...]

Annihilation (excerpt)

May 18, 2013 in Adventure, Fiction, Sci-Fi / Futuristic

Chapter 1   It took more than the sound of the alarm built into the detachable chrome and fibreglass bed to wake Boyo up from a dream-filled sleep. Though the continuous beep of the alarm played a part, it was the strong, bittersweet, whiff of marijuana, seeping in through the hairline crack where his bulletproof [...]

Clarion Call IV

May 18, 2013 in Memoir, Narrative Non-Fiction, Romance, Series

From last week, “With or without my assent, I had just become an official property of the Nigerian government, and I would need the help of God.” The morning was fairly routine and identical to most of the other mornings in camp. I woke around 4.30am to a frosty cold that whispered temptations of sleep [...]

Rubble of Bangladesh

May 17, 2013 in Poetry

The bang that lashed and dangled off From atop to dash unto doom and ruin Of the habour of labour to puff Dreams and deeds down the drain That as it was then in Ramah Rachel’s brood by greed were gored Oh men, why toil with karma In this flimsy blissful world Yet a thousand [...]

Words Of Death: A Poem

May 17, 2013 in Poetry

  Α̲̅πϑ they sat down Under the canopy To mourn or celebrate?

EZE GOES TO SCHOOL (Episode 9)

May 17, 2013 in Series

That term in JSS2 rolled on by in the company of the September rains that crashed against the slightly hilly terrain of my school, and the winds that soughed through the leaved branches of the gmelina trees.

The Guava Tree

May 17, 2013 in Fiction, Horror and Supernatural

A wise man once told me that life is all about fighting successive and unending battles. And nothing else. That we plunge head-on into them, drawing courage from the hope of obtaining a glorious victory. That the very minute one battle ends another starts. This we must continue till we breathe our last. I’m forced [...]
