For sore aching hearts




Love given is not 

Love wasted 

Your heart heard 

A tune 

And your heart sang 

To match its rhythms. 


Your heart wanted to dance 

And dance did it!

That’s not a crime 

Even if it hurts. 


So now, heal 

When love comes again

I hope you recognize it 


I hope you welcome it 

With arms wide opened.

PT 1: Fade and Lele

Image
In the vibrant city of Ogbomoso, there lived a girl whose presence was as captivating as it was unique. Though her stature was petite, she radiated a powerful spirit that belied her small frame. With a soft, melodious voice and words that flowed like a gentle stream, she could charm anyone who crossed her path. Her movements were graceful, almost like a dance, filled with an elegance that seemed to transcend the ordinary. While many might label her as docile, nothing could be further from the truth when it came to her dreams.

In her heart, she knew that as long as she held onto her dreams, she possessed the strength to conquer anything that stood in her way. She met her fellow...

Pulling out his phone, he scrolled through his notes until he found her number. His heart raced as he dialed, but the thrill quickly turned to confusion. Instead of Fade’s familiar voice, he found himself face-to-face with a torrent of Hausa being unleashed by a Mallam on the other end. Shocked, he instantly hung up, his mind racing. Surely, this had to be a mistake. He tried again, but the same fiery voice greeted him. Panic set in. Had Fade accidentally given him the wrong number? Or worse, had she intentionally misled him? "No way," he thought, shaking his head in disbelief. “We were both vibing too well for that.”  Feeling ...

Happy International Women’s Day

  My dear woman It’s another world women’s day  What has changed? More women are finding their voices, Occupying places and positions of power. More girls are coming to the realization that they are more than the tags society has given just because they have a labia majora and estrogen coursing through their bodies. Men are acknowledging, women can be more than just their wives in the kitchen; Or mothers tending to their needs  Or sisters they taunt, always needing protection. These girls, women can really be great if they want to. Their capacity now, has become a function of their will. This is indeed all exciting to see But this, still, isn’t enough! As we step out of the background into limelight  We are only stronger when we do it Hand in hand with each other For in unity we are stronger. As an average guy will have his guy’s back So should Women embrace love for each other. Only then can we take the world to its knees; A world of stereotypes, discrimination...
