Akanbi's Poisonous Lily.

"Marry Ajike" everyone said, "She'd make a better wife and give you Ibeji" They drummed in Akanbi's ears each passing day. Akanbi simply shrugged their advice aside, his eyes on a more valuable gem. A gem that glittered in the dark, with a body as smooth as 'osun'. Her aroma smells of coconut, of rosemary flower, and apple cider. "See how perfect Ajike looks. You both would make a perfect fit" they'd say when Ajike passes, a gourd of water balanced on her head, her buxom ass swaying as she walked by. The other boys would whistle and hold their groins at Ajike's receding backside that held no interest for Akanbi. Only one woman made his blood boil in pleasure, only one made his groin ache with longing. That one that makes him want to faint with her "roboto" backside and tiny waistbeads that calls out to him when she walks down the stream. Aduke is the name of the woman he loves, the one who makes one thous...

If tears could speak

If tears could speak I wonder what mine would say, would it speak of the pain and hurt I feel when a loved one dies of turn their back? would it speak of the efforts and stress I go through to make a living? would it speak of the many times I have had to force a smile when all I wanna do is cry? would it speak of how I barely exist when I should be living my best life? would it speak of my fears of failing and disappointment at getting no where in life? would it speak of the pain of walking through life all by myself? would it speak of the many times I have been misunderstood and labelled names I don't bare? would it speak of the times my hopes were dashed and my prayers unanswered? if tears could speak, what would yours say?

WHAT USED TO BE

"You don't get to walk out on me when I am talking to you. " Tade stormed after me, taking two steps in one stride, as he followed me down the stairs. I ignored his noise and got down the last step, as I trudged lazily to the long sofa, I and my protruded 5 months old stomach. I plopped down on the sofa, raising my heavy and swollen legs on the center table, while resting my aching back against the back of the sofa. "Tinuade, are you deaf?  Or you just want to bed trouble this evening?" He thundered as he joined me in the living room. "Tade, I am not playing deaf.  I just came to pick my phone and rest my feet. " I groaned as another wave of pain washed over my aching bones. I know Tade and his tantrums, and I am not ready to join him in a pissing contest today,  not today.  My whole body ache. My feet.  My back. Everywhere. I am too bothered about my health and my unborn child to worry about Tade and his first wife's wahala. ...
RIKIYA EPISODE TWO I got in with Chief and we drove on in total silence in his Porsche 911 Carrera Price turbocharged 3.0-liter horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine. Don't give me that look please.  I know you are wondering how I know so much about the car.  Duh!  I am an escort and not a dumbass.  Moreover, I know cars and I am a sucker for nice cars. A few minutes later, we were parking in the parking lot of The Lagos Continental Hotel. My eyes bulged out of their sockets at the magnificent masterpiece before me. You see, that's one of the reasons I love working on the Island, you will be exposed to seeing inspirational things like this edifice. Chief locked the car, held my hand and led me into the hotel.  After exchanging pleasantries with almost every one we came across, he got his usual room key and ordered for room service. I love to go strong while on my escort duties, it helps to brazen me up for the journey ahead, and also help me...
