Nigeria’s attitude to prayer can be summed up in two words: prayer abuse. I’m sure this term would have taken some of you aback because this isn’t a familiar form of abuse. We’re used to terms like drug abuse, sexual abuse, child abuse and the likes but when it comes to prayer, the idea that it can…
Sometimes I miss my grandfather. The many times we spent together gave me access to the window of his mind. He, I came to find out was a rather easygoing man belying the nature of what he did for a living. He was also a hopeless romantic. Judging by the way he treated granny even at…
“I heard love is pain… come on, let’s hurt together.” xXx Confusion spread across the little children’s faces as her teacher gasped “Sorry?” yet her answer wouldn’t change “I said, my daddy is a drunk. That’s what he does, he isn’t a Doctor like Akin’s daddy, he isn’t a lawyer, singer, pilot, or engineer no.…
She broke the coconuts and watched them bleed into the ground. She never learned how to remove the water like she thought every woman should but she quickly picked up the splintered pieces and dashed back into the kitchen. Beau was coming home soon and she had to get his smoothie done. It was the only…

Have you ever been hated or discriminated against? I have! Remimah: Ermmm…this isn’t about Eminem, is it? Ramat: No. It isn’t. Remimah: Right. Eminem just comes to mind as I write this piece. So let’s get to it, right? Ladies, have you ever been called a ‘Basic Chick’? You all know ‘chick’ isn’t the term,…
He came. We met. It ended. You say you love someone. You want to be with them. Establish a long lasting relationship. You guys have been talking for some time and now you want to meet. And you show up half-drunk. To say I was disappointed would be me making an understatement. Who does that?…
I am in the dark-yet another bout of power failure. I sigh, my shoulders droop, my hope runs out of the door. Nigeria, how much more of this could I possibly endure? My patriotism these days is quite difficult to conjure, I have known about NEPA’s inefficiency since I was aged four. Should I settle…
A number of reports emanated from Italy last week claiming Chelsea manager Antonio Conte was frustrated with the club’s tardiness in the transfer market and was looking to exert more control over an area of the club where Technical Director Michael Emenalo holds sway. These same reports claimed Chelsea were unperturbed despite Conte’s reticence to…
“Life is so damned hard, so damned hard… It just hurts people and hurts people…”- -F. Scott. Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned. “That’s the thing about pain, it demands to be felt.” -John Green, The Fault In Our Stars. Life breaks…
I’m a horror junkie. But I’m not going to bore you about how I became one, only that it goes back to my childhood and that tall sturdy shelf that housed VHS tapes. Perhaps I was too young to have a broad palate: low-budget, slapstick horror movies were just as enjoyable as the ones…
I was having a very mushy, loving, soaking-with-cheese conversation with my boyfriend one morning; the kind where we’re both being completely open about how we feel, our fears and worries, our insecurities e.t.c. We talked fondly about how we met and about when we each realized that we were in love with the other and…
I went for a wedding with some friends a fortnight ago where I met this pretty chic. We got talking; I must admit the conversation wasn’t as smooth as I had hoped but I was lucky to cart away with her phone number and social media handles at the end of the day. On our way back…
