Prayer

He is always on his knees
with hands stretched out
embittered face
teary eyes
confused look
muttering some words

he has been doing this for the past 6 months
and yet he had not received that MIRACLE
that CONTRACT
that JOB
and he asks himself
"Is GOD this wicked?"
Why is he not answering?
What have I done to deserve this?

born into a World
Where his freedom was taken from him that moment
Where he had to listen to the Four P's that rule the world
Where he would have to suffer for a sin a man and woman committed millions of years ago
Where he is told lies to make him feel better

Then he gets old
with nothing to show for it
then he blames the government
he blames the witches in his village

But that night
he goes to his room
after muttering those words on his knees
he feels refreshed
he says "tomorrow will be better"

tomorrow actually got better

PS: Every problem has an expiry date, Be prayerful

HE IS NOT THE ONE FOR YOU

She met him at the job interview, while she was standing at the entrance to the receptionists office, she saw him, tall, dark, with brown pupils, she was lost in her thought until he tapped he, gesturing that she should make way for him to pass, she trembled at his touch, but tried to hide it.

On her way out of the company gate she heard the word "hello" with a voice as deep as the Atlantic ocean, she trembled, turned and looked at him, she was confused, uncomfortable, he ran up to her "Am Kunle" he said enthusiastically, she was lost "Betty" she managed to reply, "so how was the interview? " he asked "was ermmm qui.. quite alright" she replied, he smiled and she tried to smile as well, " I would love to meet you again" he replied "I would love too and I love you" her inner voice said, she cautioned her mind and replied "Okay, thanks" and walked away, he stood and stared as she left the gate, he smiled to himself and went back into the office.

"Would you marry me?" He asked while kneeling down, she screamed "Yes", she was really happy, finally at 26 she has gotten herself a life partner.

After church on Sunday, the pastor asked to see her, "Last night in my sleep God showed me a vision that brother Kunle is not the right one for you" he said, she was dumbfounded, confused and mentally disorganized, "but daddy, he is the one for me and I've talked to God about it" she said in between sobs, "I know its hard for you but that's what the Lord showed me, and am sure you don't want to disobey the Lord". "But how can the Lord be so wicked to want to rob me of my joy, the flesh of my flesh, the one that completes me" she thought as she was in the bus taking her home. Her phone rang, she brought it out to check who was calling, when she saw "Kunle" as the caller, she became more heart broken, she ignored it.

Three years later, she has not seen the perfect one for her, she became more regular in church, she joined the choir, she volunteered for church duties hoping that Mr. Right would come before her 30th birthday. Yesterday while she was in church, her phone rang, she answered "Hello is this Betty?" "Yes" she replied "Hey long time its Kunle, are you still in town?" "Yes" she replied with little joy "my wife just gave birth, and I don't know if you free, I would love it if you can come for his naming ceremony" "ermm the... The the problem is that am not chanced, "but I have not told you the date" "I know but I wont be chanced, am leaving town tomorrow" she finally replied and cut the call.............

My Twitter Crush

Sandra, yeah that was her name. my twitter crush, her tweets are
mostly about her self. I stalked her for the next 6months and I was
already tripping for her, I've never retweeted or even mentioned her,
I just loved reading her tweet, loved refreshing her tweets, loved
reading her favorites, how pleasant they were to my eyes. I knew her
handle and bio by heart, I followed her on instagram even though she
doesn't follow back (I wasn't expecting her to follow back tho), she
was all I wanted in a girl, the way she smiles when she pose for the
camera, most times I wonder if she ever gets angry, how would someone
be so wicked to make her angry? I thought to myself.


Today 23rd December 2014 is a good day, a day to man up and tell
her how I feel, I click on the direct message button, I looked at it
twice and I felt like going back but that inner voice kept saying "you
can do it". I typed her handle, and then everything I planned to send
to her ran out from my brain like the way my elder brother would run
when there is a free bus from Nigeria to London.


"Hello, how you doing? this is awkward but I have to do it, I am
your biggest fan, I like you, I adore you, I know so much about you
than you can imagine"


I sighed and tapped the send button, then closed my eyes and opened
it, it has been delivered. So I will sit here and wait for her to
reply, even if she doesn't I will gladly know I tried. Its January 7th
2015 and am still waiting for her reply, waiting
anxiously.............

Treasure

When would I be free from myself? When will I muster up the courage to
tell her I love her? Why is life so cruel?

I see her coming out from the big PS Hall and I just can't help
but think about her, I've known her since last semester, I know her
name, I know everything about her, she's the last of 3 children, she
loves watching soccer, she supports Barcelona, I've been stalking her
for the past five months, am not sure she knows I exist but I know
everything about her, I know her twitter and instagram handles by
heart, I brag about her to my friends, I tell them "my Treasure is
better than all your girlfriends".

I know she would never go for a guy like me, why would she? Am
like an old paper in a hoody. Nothing can happen between us, so for
the time being she will continue to be my "Mental Girlfriend, My
Treasure"

OMALICHA

Omalicha has always been my seat mate from Primary 2 and now we are in Primary 4, I've known everything about her, she likes Uduak the short calaber boy in our class, I don't even know why she liked him, he was not even brilliant and I even asked my sister Adaku if he is fine and she said "NO".
Omalicha is the prettiest girl in our class, her dad owns the bakery factory across the road, I know everything about her and I can go on and on about her but there is no time for that, am not sure if she even knows how to pronounce my full name Kolakanikome, she just calls me "Kaykay" and oh God I love it when she calls me that, she knows me as that brilliant boy that sells Ugwu for his mum after school.

I've always had a crush on her from primary two when I first saw her, and she doesn't even know its because of her I read to take the first position, I wanted to impress her but that just made me her "home work boy" and would she ever know I do her own assignments before mine? Does she know that most times I write the wrong answers for myself, so that she would score the highest, but what do I get? Just a "aii Thank you Kaykay" and "you are very brilliant oh" and I sit and watch her follow Uduak to ANTY Anthonia's shop to buy him puff puff.

I sit and watch my crush go home everyday with Uduak, (that name I've come to hate each day) and I wonder if I will ever let her know I like her but how do I tell her, so I just bottle up my feeling, like I've done for two years now and moreover it just one year that's left and then we would be through with Primary school, and at least I can be free from the endless torment but for now "Thank you kaykay" is my "I like you kaykay"

Letter To My 22 Year Old Self

I've been wanting to write you this..........

First of all I would ask you , are you now serving at your NYSC
camp ground in Ogun State?

While you were still in school did you see the girl, the one I've
always wanted you to see, I hope she is cute and that she loves
writing and rapping, I hope she controls her speech, I hope you have
not told her that you would marry her yet, just make hear a friend but
don't let anybody snatch her away from you,

You graduated with first class abi?? did those people in uniport
give you that scholarship?? I hope you told Professor Martins
Ifeanacho that he is the best lecturer you have ever seen.

Did you open that business at Abuja park close to mama abuja?
Did you write to Rhonda Byrne again? Did you get to meet Chimamanda
Ngozi Adichie? Did you ask her how she got such talent to write those
nice books, did you tell her that I love Kambili the character she
brought to life in that book Purple Hibiscus?

Guy, are you still shy as usual or have you changed? Do you
still slim fit your trousers and shirts?

I hope you are now an elder or a ministerial servant? I hope
you've stopped imagining things, are you still on twitter? please give
twitter less time, am sure it would no longer be fun, do you still
like magical movies? I hope you have so many female friends.

Before I forget please be fast with that your NYSC thing and
start your MSc programme fast fast, have you met Dbanj, Rihanna,
Messi, 2face, Justin Bieber, M.I, Bill Gate, Mark Zuckerberg, Dangote,
Warren Buffet and the rest (you know them) in person?? if you have not
done so please be fast. Did you become a uniport celeb like we always
dreamed, Hope you still talk to those our friends (don't have to
mention names, you know them).

I hope you have told Tomi Adesina, Walter Shakes and the TNC
crew that am a big fan
