MY FLOWERS...






 I found these seedling, they were pretty tiny. I planted it, watered and nurtured it while I watched it grow slowly and gracefully into a flourishing and beautiful plant with lot of beautiful flowers around the stem.

My flowers grew and flourished...they were so beautiful and eyed by all.  Every one – even strangers wanted to have a feel of it as they walked past my garden.
The beauty of my flowers was so irresistible that even I was trapped in love for them; that I decided to guard them lest people come to pluck them off.

“Lady, could you please sell some of your flowers to me?” many people said often and at all these time, I had declined saying, “My flowers are still very tender and growing. I still need to nurture them some more.”
I nurtured, watered and watched my flowers spread out in beauty and glory until one morning, I woke up and my flowers were gone - All of it!

Someone had plucked them all off from its stem and rendered my once beautiful garden gloomy, as people passed by shaking their heads in pity.
Some consoled while I wept bitterly, others rallied round to find my missing flowers as I wait helplessly hoping for the return of my flowers and justice perhaps...
Its 100 days today, my flowers are yet to be found.

For My G.Ma - Felicia

I never knew I would miss her this much. People never understood why I love Christmas. I didn’t quite get it too – apart   from the bursting joy of the birth of Christ, the melodious songs and beautiful decorations; there was more to the super hyper and lovey-dovey feeling I always have this season. So, I was scrolling through my phone gallery and saw the last photo I had with my G.Ma. Oh by the way, Christmas was her birth and death day. I’m writing this because of her. Just to share a bit of her awesomeness with you. That woman was a bad-ass! Reminiscing on my childhood memories with her, I realized she was the reason I love Christmas. I usually spent my Christmas and New-Year holidays with her as a child. She would take me to her church and ask the priest to allow me join other children in the Christmas carol rehearsals and performances. She would take me to the salon and have my hair done and accessorized. I hated making my hair, it was just too stressf...

Hello there!

Is it too late to say happy new year😥?! I mean, a quarter in the year 2021 is almost over, so I will let this mushy feeling slide, and let’s say I will pretend like I have been writing and written to you all these while.    Happy? Yes.    So, what have you been up to?  As for me, after the whole #EndSARS movement, I just literally had this block. In fact, I wrote a couple of things in my notebook but just couldn’t bring myself to sharing here.  I was beyond devastated, as many people – Nigerians were.    Anyways, before and since then, I was also doing a lot of thinking, studying, and preparing for a professional examination, which I wrote and passed in December, last year – yay!! Then, I have just been having ideas on a lot of things I would have loved to share with you but you know what they say about procrastination. Yea….got the best of this relationship!   I’m sorry.  Now, I hope to be more consistent – I know I have said that a mi...
