A Rule of Law or A Rule of Presidential Discretion ?


President Muhammadu Buhari
A protest, or in Pro-Buhari words, a Revolution was planned. Abduction of the Lead Convener, Sowore, by operatives of the DSS  followed suit.

Why Saturdays used to be a no-no for my birthdays

[5 min read]




Why I didn't like my birthday on a Saturday

It doesn't matter what/how you feel about this for this is the girl I used to be, not the lady that I now am.

A few years ago, my aunt was getting married, a joyous occasion it was, everyone was happy, everyone, except me. I wasn't angry she was getting married, I was, in fact very happy for her. What I wasn't happy about however was her choice of date.

Waiting for FRIDAY

[10 min read]



Akin was a 400 level Nursing student.

Between clinical postings, preliminary project, assignments, studying to be the first best male student in his department and the self-imposed responsibility of outdoing all his senior siblings, he had no time to do the things he loved. He looked forward to the weekends when he could rest and do some of these things, but then, his weekends weren't always free too, because all his academic activities still ate into his weekends.

Bloody rose

It was in the heat of the harmattan.

She was lying in her bathroom floor,
In the afternoon, just when it was hottest.
Only a few days after she had found her husband in arms of another,
Desperately trying to milk her for himself.
