Is it safe outside?

Is it safe to take a walk alone without

Having 1 million ways of defend myself

From hoodlum, Rapist, and Thieves running through my mind.

Is it safe to walk alone and

Not be cautious of passer-by’s?

Without scanning the faces of people I sit with in taxies?

Is it safe to be all l can be

Without thinking about the wrath of haters?

Hope one day my blessing be a blessing to others and not a lesson for me.

Will it ever be safe to give alms to the needy without first praying on it?

Will reprimanding my kids for trusting a stranger ever be a thing of the past?

How many words does it really take to create a change?

How many songs do we need to sing to be heard?

How many sons/daughters do we need to bury?

How will our light shine when we live in the dark?

Are we ever gonna be safe outside?

Insecurity- Epelle Cynthia B

A Poetic Formal Letter to MEMAC Ogilvy

Listening to Rory Sutherland (vice-chairman of the Ogilvy) sparked an infinite interest in marketing in a young writer/social media marketer who’s fantasizing about both of us getting married and building a home together. I am thrilled to say I want to be a part of you (an unpaid internship) position at MEMAC Ogilvy Dubai , United Arab Emirates. I am passionate about the new meaning of marketing, making marketing Psychological rather than logical. I would love to channel my skills as a writer and Marketing Intern. I'm not going to presume that you don't give a damn about the other ladies I've been with. So, while in Nigeria, I was in a relationship with a Tech company ( JD Lab ) as a writer and social media marketer. I don't typically do this, however, I became intimate with another lady (TEDxMinna) as a writer and social media Team Leader. I swear it wasn't long. I was in charge of managing the social media profiles and producing material for them. These women an...

My Opinion on Public Wedding Proposals

Some people got engaged before, during, and after valentine's Day. Some people proposed publicly and others in their houses. We get all emotional when we watch videos where she said yes l will marry you regardless of the location (lekki mall, Container Bistro, Michael Garden, etc) I know you've watched that video where a girl was overexcited and she started screaming and couldn't control her joy. (It's funny to some people, it's spiritual to some but nobody insulted the guy for proposing in public). But when we watch a video where the reply is "embarrassing" especially if the proposal is public we blame the men, insult them, and ask questions like What happen to proposing at home? You should know what your girl likes, does she like it public or hidden? Etc No one asked these questions when the reply was positive WHY??? This is my opinion: women are to be blamed for being in a relationship with someone they can't get married to. Even if a girl wants ...

18th of May, l witnessed a robbery

So 18th May was Avura's birthday and while l was wiping off the dirt on her table caused by the flowers we used to decorate her table l heard someone screaming. Now my first suspension was a movie scene made Helen and Stella scream but then the scream came again and again. And l was like is stella beating Helen ( I had to clear my suspicions so like someone who has a power of an ant but as brave as an xxx) l stormed out of the room to know why the scream. But to my disbelief it wasn't Helen and stella, the scream wasn't even coming from the room in which Helen and stella were apparently Helen wasn't getting beaten up. The noise came from the shops outside the building. And as l approached the window from where l could see the cause for the screaming the scream be became clear. It was a cry for help. A woman was being robbered- they we're with a gun, that l could see that it was fake. I watched them run back took her Pos machine and her phone, chased a guy who ca...
