Respire

So I stared at the rain and wondered in my mind, "Is that all you want me to see, or is there more?" I couldn't help the smile that broke out while waiting for an answer I knew would come...

The Voyager In You

Welcome back! How did May go? I hope you were not too overwhelmed? How are your stabilizers doing? Are you ready to voyage with me? Let's go then! In the past, when I saw a graduate of a Nigerian federal university, I was wowed, thinking; this person must be really wise with all that knowledge …

Stabilizers

Hello! Let me begin with a big thank you to every true friend in my past and present, thank you for being a part of my success story! This is my little love note to you all. Just imagine me singing passionately like the guy here. https://youtu.be/Y-bW9c_S1kc Thank you! If this is not your first …

Prayers of the Prey

Do you know the law of the jungle? Generally, it refers to the principle that those who are strong and apply ruthless self-interest will be most successful. Some would say ‘it’s a dog eat dog world’. One of my favourite childhood cartoons. There is a lot to learn from the wolves. Have you heard the …

Loving Him

Hello prosperous people! February has been quite the month with the highs and lows right? One of the high was my birthday and I felt the love from near and far so let me take this moment to specially thank everyone who wished me well. I am truly grateful. Now back to blogging! To all …

What Language Do You Speak?

According to statistics, 40 percent of the world population are monolinguals and 43 percent are bilinguals. I believe that within the 40 percent, there are some people who understand a little of another language, just not enough to be called bilingual. Yeah, I am talking about the Messi and Ronaldo lovers who know a few …

Their Myth, The Truth

Do you remember the tales that were told to children just to scare them enough to stay close and not wander off into real danger? Or the stories that were meant to teach them acceptable behaviours. Like telling them about 'the ghost that kidnaps children that tell lies'. Other times, it could be a response …

The Reason For The Rules

Do you play games? Any game at all? From the ones I consider simple like Infinity loop and ludo. To the ones that become tasking as it developes like Candy Crush Saga and Temple run. Down to those I do not even bother understanding like PES and Call of Duty, I just tap on everything …

What Are You Writing?

No matter how boring, busy, productive, destructive, innovative, challenging, sad, mind blowing or crazy your life has been, it becomes a story when someone sits down to recount it. Note that this person would only be recounting what you have already written, no additions or subtractions. It's all you from preface to epilogue, you are …

Finding Your Birdplace

I have always believed that nature is a very good teacher, we are just not very good students. So in June, I decided to pay attention to the birds and I even told them to keep the change. So please let me know if it was worth it in the end😁. I recently came accross …

Joy’s Journey (Departure)

Many of us can point out the exact time she left. Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, you can think back to that exact period when it all became dark. But do you remember when she started packing? When the dark clouds started covering? That time when the first straw was placed …

Joy’s Journey (Arrival)

This follows after Joy's Journey (Departure). ✈️ "Joy's Journey (Arrival)" I sat on the Sycamore tree that nightI knew my faith wasn't tall enough, So I took Zacch's lessons and held on tight. Joy cometh in the morningI had prepared the table for the feastFor when I will be asked to come down. No dust …

Crippled Goals

What if it's not broken? Those precious plans you've been running with. The dream to go to the University, that tireless job hunt, the struggle to be mentally stable, to let go of that addiction, to be your own person, to cut the chains of your background. What if truly delay is not denial and …

In Wrath Remember Mercy

When last did you loose your sight? Or let me put it this way, when was the last time you were blinded by rage? Take deep breaths and think back to that moment when you were so mad that even your body was shaking and coherent words were difficult to form. That time when all …

I Love You

We have been told many times that true love is a verb, so real that it's visible for even the blind to see. The definitions go on and on, it's never ending. What is love to you? Who is love to you? Out of so many definitions, theories and practicals out there, there is one …

Mind Games

We sometimes spend time hiting our heads on a wall just to prove a point. Why? Why do you feel you have to prove your worth to a particular person or set of people? Do you feel your worth will be less if you do not become someone you feel they would respect? Every time …

Beating Odds

You do not need a whip, bamboo stick, or even your fist to beat this one. You need something stronger than that. I am not asking you to be little David with the sling marching up to Goliath the giant who was fully clad in his war armour. Neither am I saying you should be …

A Special Pot

What does poetry mean to you? Poetry to me is not 'like' a story, because it 'is' a story. What makes a good story? I think its a good plot with a message. Poetry for me is mama's pot. Throw in the metaphor, metonymy, allusion, alteration, parallelism, paradox and whatever you have right there with …

Uyai Ekong (Beautiful War)

It's a girl! the doctor saidMy eyes glowed with unshed tears while many celebrated.Your innocence was painful to look at so I closed my eyes and wept. You grew and glowed, men followed. On your flawless face,confusion showed. Why? , you asked, so society explained. This is your life There is only one path for …
