Church under the Bridge

Tell me you can feel it.

The cold breeze straight off the top of the lagoon lifting hairs to stand in salute to the falling letters of the bridge.

The Various Dimensions of the New Wave 1

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality”. - Desmond Tutu.

My father told me a story recently. He was in Warri, on the road at night with some friends, when they were stopped by the police.

Gwari of the Capital

I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Jos. Even though the gang and I were unable to visit the minor settlement in Bauchi. I believe we were able to get a good first-hand experience of the wonderful Izere people.

Divine Femininity

There are liminal spaces where time holds no meaning or power, spaces where the hours float by unbound, just out of your grip. The hair salon five minutes away from my house was one of such places.

Finding home III

I noticed that Dave was intimate with Meg in a way I never saw reflected in my parents. A slight touch here, a heavy gaze there. It was beautiful to watch.

Real beauty lies in diversity, but cultural originality is more important than anything especially if you are a foreigner living in another man’s land.

You’re Not Tired II

Ronke, Okah and Praise were lawyers, and friends. Ronke was gentle, Okah was loud, and Praise was annoying. They worked in a small firm in Kaduna.

The Dance of the Five

Kola knew the Agwom Kuwop would be expecting us to be at the townsquare but as usual, he had found a way to get the rest of the gang to see reason in his wanting to climb the “100 Steps to Afizere Settlement,” on the day of the Igoon Izere festival.
