    Hahahaha!!! I wiah something out-of-the-ordinary had happened too. But since it is not a work of fiction, I can only tell di troot!
    I appreciate all the comments and hope to share more of my writing here in due course.
    God bless.

    Scopeman, thanks for staying to the bitter end. Actually, this whole ‘story’ wasnt really meant to be anything more than an account of the events. It wasn’t originally written in three parts and I didnt structure it in any particular way. It had to be broken up to meet Naijastories publishing criteria, so I just [...]

    On the few occasions I have been privileged to attend a Nigerian-Caribbean wedding, I have always been fascinated by the similarities in culture, the colour of the occasion and the beauty of the people. But never did I imagine that one day it would be my own family that would be at the epicentre of such [...]

    ThumbnailMy Sis Got Married Last Weekend - 2 For me, the day started on the wrong note. I was late, and I conveniently blame the damn laptop. It was an afternoon wedding, which suited me just fine. But, like the vast majority of human beings know, the more time you have to prepare, the more likely [...]

    @Myne Whitman….you are right. It was on my FB page!

    My Sis Got Married Last Weekend  - 1 Before una get the wrong impression, let me make it abundantly clear that I’m not one of those to get too sentimental about these kind of things. Come on, I’m a guy. A  Naija guy. Not only do we maintain a stiff upper lip as a legacy of British colonial [...]

    Ada, K0b0k0 is right not to give the story a ‘happy ending’ because these type of stories NEVER end happily. He is not writing for you or I, or even himself, but for Miriam and thousands of little girls like her that know no joy and some never will. As for what makes men ‘go [...]

    I think you should and could have treated the whole topic with a little more sensitivity. In some areas, the narrative almost appeared pornographic and ‘celebratory’, detracting from empathising with the despair Mariam was going through. For example, a victim of incest and rape would never use words like ‘fuck’ or ‘cock’, because the experience [...]
