Poem, This Life - Seyi Dinma Samuel

We do not deserve this life , 
Where our lives are priced below a herd,
We are dying because we pay no attention 
to the tiniest details,
No one deserves to be burnt alive,
No one deserves this Nigeria!
But I know we will heal,
One day cattle would be just cattle,
And human live would be priceless,
One day........
And to those who our mistakes have caused their lives,
On our behalf, I'm sorry.
Rest in Peace

Men in Black - Seyi Dinma Samuel

Based on a true story, with a little spices to make it fun. Some days back, a close friend and I decided to skip work and school and just stay home to rest, I was in my room till I decided to buy water, that was when I saw PHCN officials cut my wire, "chai! Bad market" I thought, "Bros, how far now you didn't even ask if anyone is at home before cutting the light" "Nobody wey get work suppose dey house by this time" the dark pot bellied one replied , I felt insulted, before i knew it, they got into their truck and zoomed off. I was furious, I had given my landlady N1,000 for the month of June, if she paid the light bill, our light won't be cut by the second of July. I forgot about the water I wanted to buy and walked into my neighbors house, their generator was on.  "Cube, how far, abeg I wan charge" I said, he gave me that look like, "don't you know where the socket is" and continued staring at his phone, h...

ROGUE - Seyi Dinma Samuel

Something is different about me, I can't  tell what, but I feel sad. I have a new job, moved into a better apartment, yet something was missing, it was already 11:25pm so there were fewer cars on the road, but even on a busy night, there would have been little or no slow traffic, its Ilorin after all. I reduced my speed as I noticed the police checkpoint ahead, the men in black used their torchlights to flag me down, I wasn't worried or scared, maybe if I was a man I would ,but I wasn't in the mood so no coke money for them, now that I think of it, they weren't here this morning. As I put off the car, I noticed they weren't just police men but the "day light robbers" SARS. " Madam, comot key for the motor and step outside" the leader said, he was drunk, his speech was dragged. " Officer any  problem?" I asked,  " Be like say this one dey mad, forget you be woman! I go shoot shoot all the make up comot your destiny, I...

Lady B - By Uche Onwuemeli

This story was posted on twitter by Uche, click here  to follow him I was working as a Supply Chain Officer in Lagos, I was in charge of expediting procurement & also following up on vendors. One of our major suppliers had issues with her supply & she came to complain, she met me & I helped solve the issue. That was the Genesis. LADY B While she was leaving my office she left an envelope on my desk & walked away before I could notice, few minutes after she'd left I noticed it I opened it to check & there was N10,000 inside it, I smiled - kept the envelope back on the table & kept working. And Suddenly!! https://t.co/ntgyQRMOjy I heard a Nokia phone ring, I looked closer & found out it was beside the envelope. I picked it up & answered the call & I heard a female voice "This is Lady B" she said, "oh, hi Lady B" I reacted - she confirmed she left the envelope when I asked her just to be sure; "Keep it...
