How it all started
I cannot remember what day of the week it happened. All I remember was that I woke up that day with absolutely no idea how my day was going to turn out. I was in my room that morning, probably thinking of what to eat as breakfast.Then I had a call. It was Channel. A…

Tailor this cloth
Imagine you spent an entire evening one Friday, helping with preparations for a key wedding the following day. The decorations and planning eat late into the night and you end up sleeping as late as 3:30am, only to be woken up at around 6am for the more tedious task of hosting the wedding. Imagine the…

Not my Africa!
It was at the reading room I first met him. I couldn’t help but stare. At the dreadlocks. Dirty, unusually bushy, on his tiny, skinny skull. He stood out. In his shabby clothes. A sharp contrast to the atmosphere of decency and order and respect in a room filled with serious students. I wondered what…

Without luggage, without any guarantee of enough…

We harm ourselves
We create our own problems. We sowed the seeds of what we’re harvesting today. We create mess for ourselves. And though we know that what we’re doing has terrible implications, we cannot stop the habit we’ve become accustomed to. It even seems fun destroying ourselves. But how long can we keep doing this? These days…

Religious people
I hate religious people. Oh, by “religious”, I mean people who have distorted perceptions of what their faith means. More specifically, I’m referring to Christians who still have a lot to learn about what true Christianity means. I give you specific examples. I once had roommates who were very religious. At dawn while I’m trying…
