Love (video)

-


It's in the little things.

The way you ask "are you well?" 

With the look of concern on your face

When my face seem clouded with worry. 


The way you reach out to catch me,

And look into my face without saying a word,

When I misplace my step and want to fall. 


The way you hold me,

Gently on the shoulders to say,

"Kedu?" 

When I give you a soft nudge 

On your chest or tummy,

As a way of greeting. 


Ayee,

It's in all the little nothings that are bigger all things.

It's in the way you care. 

The way you listen. 

And even though I won't deny that sometimes 

I do want to kiss you, 

I think that these little nothings 

Are what love is all about. 



Ugoo.

The love not requited: here is what you don't know

  Long post alert! Sorry guys, I tried to make it shorter, but the thoughts...they just won't stop coming.😤😤😤🙏🙏🙏 ........................................................................... Hmmmm...(sad face) how do I even start? On my way out today to where I went to, I was really excited to share what I have on this with you guys, but then, I unfortunately came back not the same. I came back sad. Something very trivial but still significant had made me sad. It even almost affected my mental health; almost wanted to make me feel less, but then, I told myself, "Ugoo, you have come too far to let some other person's action make you feel this way. You remember what you promised yourself? Never to let anyone make you feel less? Never to allow anyone gloat over you? No baby, it's not part of the agreement. It doesn't matter whether what the person did was right or wrong, intentional or not intentional, but you just can't feel this way. You are way better than ...

"Oga! Find me something" the story of the fearless security man

Until the last weeks of July, 2022, I used to think corruption was something unique to just the government, police and more civilized areas of life (winks***). Hey, don't mind me, it's a joke(laughs). But on a more serious note though, anyone who had been born and bred in Nigeria understands why the idea of corruption being an "English" thing would rather stick in your brain(rolling eyes). I mean, it's always there for you to see, hear or experience. Yes, if you are not hearing that monkeys, snakes and probably chickens had grown spiritual wings to go steal billions of naira from the covers of public money, then you are seeing an innocent man jailed or killed for criticising the actions of the government, or you are being the one whose sister/brother was shot dead by a trigger-happy policeman that would neither be held accountable nor fired.  Well, what really happened? About last week, work took me to a secondary school, where I and my colleague were to do biomet...

  Today, I was going to make a post whose subject matter would have bothered on, “choose to be happy no matter what life throws at you (in extension, choose to succeed against all odds).”  But then, it occurred to me, I could only think this way because I have the privilege of choosing. What about the people who sincerely can’t choose? Like the young lady I saw one day on my way to Ebenebe, whose whole mouth is painfully blocked by a giant,malignant, tumour? Or the people permanently made unaware of anything else asides the pain that comes from the ailment of body/life which they suffer? Pain is in grades. And though neither of the grades invalidates the trauma of one another, it’s still true that some people suffer more than others.  Thus, for this reason, I would rather put it this way, if you can afford to be a chooser, especially career and “relationship” wise, but you are currently depressed because you seem to be making no headway, here are important things to note:...
