    Average Nigerian Secondary Schools and Child Abuse.

    Does abuse exist in our secondary schools? I did not attend secondary schools. I went to just one. So, a classmate asked me to write about our teachers then. Any of them. I have decided to write about many of them. The topic points in the negative. I know. However, I assure you that most…

    First Kiss as a Yoruba Girl; Did I Forget It?

    I do not recall when I lost the memory of my first kiss.   I am quite good with memories, you see. However, happenings as I am about to describe are not exactly things most people want to remember.   Maybe my five year old brain registered it under a suppressed category from the word…

    Staying Woke; The Need to be Aware.

    Who woke epp?   It was 2002. I was in the market with my mother in Nairobi, Kenya. We were shopping (just in case you thought we went there for evangelism or market evaluation… just so we are clear and on the same page).   Alright. We were buying clothes, majorly, and some stationery for…

  • The Best and Most Effective Punishment for Rapists.

    The Best and Most Effective Punishment for Rapists.

    My Story. The world has been shaken these past weeks by rape and rapists. I would have said by COVID-19 but, as that Prime Minister said, “Valar Morghulis”. So, the virus has been struck off.

    Dear Good Citizen of Palette Land,     Our attention has been drawn to a bundle of falsities making the rounds by a disgruntled entity trying to smear the well-deserved honors conferred on me and my two contemporaries.

    Color of Life; Introduction to War On Palette Land.

    The Newspaper Headline was bold and splashed in the Color of the Day; Color of life.   Red.   Oh, you thought it was green? The luscious leaves of a suckling, tenderly guarded by the rich dark soil and daily bathed in the dew that comes with dawn? Is that life? You think it’s in…

  • OH PLEASE! IS IT THY DANCING?

    OH PLEASE! IS IT THY DANCING?

    Dancing, is all a setup; you only don’t know it yet.   It often comes in the trope of “Are you ready to dance like—you know what’s coming next is—“David danced.” Then the person, usually the praise lead, tops up with a reference to the King’s wife who mocked him and so stayed barren all…

    So We Decided to Watch ‘Iron Fist’.

    MOVIES VS BOOKS. We will be talking about Iron Fist. But, first… I like watching movies but I 100% prefer reading books. I prefer imagining things myself, stretching my mind to worlds and scenes of different perspectives. It is all beautiful being able to picture words and actions and reactions myself. But, movies are faster…
