MY POST-YULETIDE FEELINGS

When I uttered the statement: “If you can’t beat them, you join them” while discussing about the fake feel of the yuletide, I made that statement in a state of defeatism.  That was a huge mistake on my part.  Someone (name withheld) rightly accused [...]

EDNA: THE FORGOTTEN CHAPTERS (1)

It was during Christmas. No, actually some days before Christmas. Edna woke me up with a ring.

“Hey beautiful, Merry Christmas in advance” I answered with dreamy eyes.

“Hi, handsome, how was your night?” she asked.

A FAKE FEEL OF THE YULETIDE

Early morning harmattan has come and with it an overwhelming dryness, which gnaws at the sides of the eyes and attempts to solidify the eye wax.  This dryness also rests on the lips and makes them unattractive.  This means that Vaseline sellers would soon [...]

You can imagine what i did today!!!

I get to music player, click on Ministrations then click on David Olukoya’s message and pray as I bathe and make-up. My attire for this Monday is a pair of coffee brown pants, a brown camisole and a cream empire top. I pick up my brown belt and clinch my waist. Going through my jewelry box, looking for and wearing my pearl bracelet, white bangles and my ever present Farafina wrist band that I wear everywhere even to big-shot weddings… Who cares?! My hair all brushed and pinned to a bun at the nape of my neck, I slip on my American eagle flats and hand bag, I leave for the parlour to greet my uncle because I hear him talking to someone on the phone. [...]
