H

HOW I BECAME A YAHOO! BOY – Part 1 It was a cold, damn foggy morning the day this story began. I had to be on the road early enough to beat the nerve-wrecking, never-ending Lagos traffic to get to my GCE Centre before the Naija labour force turns the road to a grid-lock, I’d checked my examination slip and writing materials a thousand times before but I had to check again to be sure I am...

The Man Who Lived A Million Years

T

Oh Yes! I drink alcohol and I have been drinking it since I was a child. Oh yes! You’re not surprised because I’m not, my beautiful Iya Toyin had a brother (Uncle Ojo aka Olori Awo) who loves Ódéku and I’ve been kissing his glass of the dark pint since I was sitting in his laps.

Iya Agba – Letter To My Grandma In Heaven

I

Dear Sabitiu Cecilia Oderinlo, It seems like a few days ago that you left but indeed, it’s been more than a few years, it’s ten wonderful years already since you left this world of sin to the realm that is unseen to us all, a chapter that we hopefully will see or never get to see if Jesus returns before the inevitable unseen arrives.

The True Definition of Grace

T

  The society plus the English dictionaries erroneously defined Grace as ” the free and unmerited favor of God, as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the bestowal of blessings (in Christian belief)” Yes it is free and given only to those who accept it, yes it was manifested through the death and resurrection of Christ, but it doesn’t bestow blessing or immunity in...
