TO A BROTHER.




Not for the fear.


Not for fear of intimidation would we cowered to the atrocious leadership we have seen displayed itself over the years in our political enclaves.


Nor for the trepidation would articles lite on candle of betterment of the future be blown off for the darkness of inafable rule over our lives and that of the generations to come.


Not for fear would we live a dream life of none actualisation, with our hope cling on years to come but no changes eyes for morrow near.


Not for fear of losing what we don't have to the    preaching and praising of the ungodly.


Not for the fear would we fail to speak out against what is not to be in our society.


Nor for the fear of being poor would we relinquish our last hope to the rich.


Everyone is afraid of losing what they don't have in this dungeons of life unbearable.

 

AND TO YOU SYCOPHANTS


I hope you continue being a slave for you are satisfied with the slave life you live.


I hope posterity never forgives you for you house your stomach under the tables of oppression.


I hope you are satisfied with the low life you live as you have sold your conscience for crumbs

DON'T LEAVE WHEN IT IS TOO LATE.

The story . Udauk was too weak to continue with the evening chores around the house because of her pregnancy. She bent over the kitchen cabinet in search of a tuber of yam she was to prepare before her husband returned from work. At the point of stretching her hands to reach the tuber of yam under the cabin, she felt a sharp pain down her abdomen. Her left lap was swollen from the beating she got the previous night from the monster's husband. She was still short of three months from her due month. That's when she was to put to birth. The shape pain was accompanied by a loud scream. She dropped the knife she had with her and tried to settle on a table-size stool lying close to the gas cylinder in the kitchen, but she couldn't. She fell and started screaming, reached out to her phone, and dialed her husband. Mr. Sam had branched  Madam G's Native Kitchen to settle for a while before heading home as his habit demands. He was busy at his usual joint with a bottle of chill

Social Media: Are we swallowed by it? It is alarming yet no longer news the rate of social media usage since the turn of the millennium.

JOURNEY OF NO RETURN.

  The story. The atmosphere was heavy, that of apprehension and uncertainty as Iquo stared at the open space leading into the compound. It was around 10:33pm that evening.  A time in Ikot Ekim community when every household had put off their lamps and retired to bed. The nocturnal sound of night creatures made the night even more looming and intense.  Nsek has never stayed out so late no matter how fierce any argument with his wife was. In their 24 years of marriage, no matter the nature of the fights Iquo has had with her husband he will always come back home to rest in his hut.  As time ticked away, she stared at the open compound, struggling to fend off the call of nature with the hope her husband would appear at the far end of the compound.  Using her hand to support her chin, she wondered how things could change so fast. Her husband Nsek was no longer the man she married. He picked fights at every little argument and would end the night with curses, accusing Iquo of turning his on
