I am at the door.
Backpack hanging over my shoulder.
Setting out on a journey.
Its destination unknown.

Only anchor points at best.

Just like the old times it may seem
With cheap […]

“Shhh dear. Your mom, Sister Tola needs some rest. It’s that time of the day when people go to sleep; not another cry to bring down the house”! As I clasp your fragile body in my hands rocking you to and fro, my […]

getto wrote a new post, Nerdsville, the series: hit-n-runs 11 months, 3 weeks ago

Sometimes, I’m amazed when Siju talks about her past experience in the hands of men. The victim of about a dozen hit-n-runs as at my last count (yeah I know, it’s better imagined what thoughts the revelations […]

Nice one. I couldn’t help praying this becomes of my story with this ‘chick’ I’ve been eyeing. Could she be masking her affection too? Or could it be she doesn’t even know I exist!!! Either ways, “Baby steps” first.

It’d been a frustrating experience for Nduka. A single compound housing two adjoining buildings facing the other, 24 rooms yet just a single bathroom and toilet for the over 50 occupants with each apartment […]
