Dance Of The Flames

Mercy eyes were filled with dismay at the state of the sitting room she had tidied up just a few minutes ago. It was now in disarray, everything out of position. The centre table was upturned, the cushions were on the floor and to worsen everything, the contents of a cereal box was lavishly scattered on the centre rug. And the culprits, two little boys, George and Mickey were standing in the middle of the room, grinning sheepishly. They were covered in cereal. "Which kain tin be dis na? Wetin I do una wey make una hate me like dis? Why una dey make my work hard like dis na ehn?" She lamented, her arms flailing wildly. Mickey ran to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He was four years old and adorable. "I love you Aunty Mercy" he grinned adoringly at her. "Me too, Aunty Mercy." George called from where he pulled at the strands on the centre rug. Mercy looked at them and sighed in exasperation. She loved them too but they drove her craz...

Who Beta Pass?

Who Beta Pass? ***** February 13th After a hard day's work, Okiemute is relieved to come home to his wife and children. As he enters the compound, he sights his neighbour, Oshare running into the latrine. Okiemute: (under his breath) With dat big yansh wey dat man carry, dat tohlet go full today. He gets to his front door and makes to bring out his key but the door flings open to reveal his wife, Alero. Okiemute: (smiling pleasantly) my darling Alero: (hugs him) honey, wehcome. He removes his shoes and enters the room. They live in a Face-Me-I-Face-You house. Their room is one of the large ones, large enough for them to turn it into a room and parlour. An old but clean curtain serves as a wall between the sitting room and the bedroom. The place is neat and tidy. A wonderful aroma emanates from the bedroom area. His dinner is ready. He looks at his wife and smiles again. Okiemute: My love, my one and only selected love, how you dey na? You fine die! See as ...

Wait For It

There's really not one perfect person for anyone but there is that one person who wants to DO right by you. When you find that person, you will begin to laugh at all you had to go through in the hands of those who weren't ready to do right by you because the picture you've always had in your mind of true love is finally being played out right in front of you and by you and your amazing co-star. Wait for it. Be strong enough to let go of what is NOT working and patient enough to wait for what you deserve.
