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of open grazing plunging the country into food insecurity, and price hike while our nomadic president thunderclap an outdated grazing practice that has threatened the corporate existence of their ONE NIGERIA.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

TILL DEATH DO US APART

 The story.  She wanted to fix this once and for all. She felt it was her obligation and responsibility to try and fix her marriage. It is true that when love can no longer sustain the marriage, commitment,  and sense of responsibility does. This was Elma's concern. Though things were never what she expected, especially after having an affair with her personal assistant, she felt she could rekindle the love and bring her home. Shutting the door of the penthouse behind Mark her boyfriend, Elma warned him never to call again, not when she was trying to fix her home and get back with her husband. After Mark drove off, Elma took a step backward from where she was, fell on the bed and sobbed profusely. It was hard for her to see him leave. In the past six months of knowing Mark, he made her feel loved again and provided her a shoulder to cry on. He made her forget the horrors George her husband made her pass through in the last three years.  Elma left the penthouse that n...
