JUNE 12. 📌

 

Anti Buhari protesters in Abuja on June 12, Democracy Day


It is June 12, and according to the gullible propagators of audio democracy in Nigeria, it is a day gangs of bloodsuckers and  harbinger of deaths and misfortunes who called themselves leaders celebrate their potbellies that are well fed by curses of million of Nigerians who on a normal note are supposed to celebrate today  as citizens of a democratic state.


June 12 2021 marked another day where a country of more than one hundred million people is caged, beaten, battered and dragged in the mud of blood pool by men of greed.


It marks yet another calendar year where lives are taken on  daily basis with front pages of newspapers counting the number of deaths in hundreds while brainless leaders count their eggs of achievements in a country where to live is like dying.


June 12 of herdsmen on a killing spree while the cabal who nickname themselves "PRESIDENCY" place bans on anything that threatens what they call ONE NIGERIA.


June 12 of bandits kidnapping innocent people in large numbers at will while they offer leniency to those that have set every household weeping and counting their loses.


June 12 of open grazing plunging the country into food insecurity, and price hike while our nomadic president thunderclap an outdated grazing practice that has threatened the corporate existence of their ONE NIGERIA.


June 12 of lopsided appointment and abandonment of federal character as enshrined in a military constitution.


June 12 of Boko Haram taking over the North East while the presidency flex is prowess with innocent protesters who are eaten up by  poverty, hunger and a life so worthless.


June 12 of a Fulani extremist president who sees nothing wrong with the mayhems unleashed by his people.


June 12 of bloodbath and cry for help by innocent, helpless Nigerians. 


June 12!!

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

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
