My Name Is Onyiyenchi

By

My name is Onyiyenchi

Today I called a guy

He arrived within seconds

You can even call him a one minute man

He didn't disappoint

He didn't complain

He waited for me till I was ready

The perfect gentleman

I sat in his car, and he drove me to see another man

Immediately I alighted, I felt nostalgic

I was sad to see him go

I wanted to follow him back

I knew what awaited me

But I couldn't help myself

Like I predicted

The abuse started the second I walked in

Just a tad bit late because of the traffic

Yet he wouldn't take excuses for an answer

They are for the weak...he says

I was hurt over there

He shouted at me over and over again in the presence of everyone

Rained curses

Complained

Screamed at the slightest provocation

And when it was evening, the same man that brought me, came again to pick me

He was nice

He didn't shout

He didn't complain

Even when I wasted time coming out....he was ever the perfect gentleman

He took me home

And smiled as I settled him

Today I found the perfect man

And it wasn't love...

It was Taxify. 

(Non-lagosians, taxify is the equivalent to uber, a company that provides transportation services commercially..like your perfect taxi for hire.)

I'll use their services again to the office tomorrow, hopefully I'll get in on time so my stupid boss won't find a reason to be dramatic again.

My name is Onyiyenchi and I'm a working class lady.

I hate my Job

By
Warning: Strong adult content 18+ I hate my job My boss, Miss Patricia, is a tyrant 40+, beautiful angelic face and even more perfect body, with a lovely smile, that she hardly uses, single mom of two beautiful teenage girls, whose pictures are hung everywhere in our offices. While her exterior is sweet and beautiful, her interior is dark and evil. Always barking orders at the rest of us, like children, her voice is so loud you wonder where she has the energy to scream in such a high note all the damn time She is so feared, her car horn is enough to immediately drown whatever noise or laughter is coming from the entire building The popular saying among us, her staff members, is that the fear of Patricia's horn is the beginning of wisdom I spent years searching for a job in the streets of Lagos, begging even, embarrassed by security men and spat at by lousy and saucy receptionists, to quit this one just like that. We die here! I was prepared to eat shit for as long as I could, so I ...

The Law Man

By
*Longshot* "Aim!" "Fire!" kraaakkkk kaaaaaaaa krrrrrrrr!!! Sounds of gunshots rendered the air as six policemen died, all tied to the drum and shot by their comrades. Six corrupt policemen once again killed on the orders of the new police chief, totalling 600 since Nonso was elected Police chief read the Star Newspaper. The biggest and most popular newspaper agency in the country. Nonso holds the record as the youngest police chief in the history of the Nigerian police force. And the most lethal. He singlehandedly ended the reign of terror by the SARS operatives, totalling disbanding the unit, executing most of them to the dismay and utter disbelief of the local and international community. How can one man weild so much power, and why is the presidency backing him up. But Nonso was not just any man, Nonso was the man you called to clean up a mess and he did it without leaving a trace of stink nor stench. At 35, his resume was a reflection of unsurpassable exploits a...

 Warning..... 18+ You have been warned!!! I looked at the phone in my hand for some minutes as I turned on my bed, planning my next move  The excitement of getting a new phone was eclipsed by what I was about to do So, putting on my latest expensive transparent black gown carelessly on my thin, fit and light skin body, I waltzed out of the bedroom like a woman with a goal and went straight to the house next to mine I knocked twice and listened  In minutes, I heard a voice call out... "Coming..." Then a lazy slap of feet on tiles followed, you could tell from the sound and vibration approaching the door that it was not an ordinary feet but two strong legs hitting the ground with power The door opens in slow motion and an average height, chocolate skin young man just getting past his mid 30's but still looking prime and delicious, zero beards, strong jawline and broad shoulders, sitting on a rather large chest, stood in the doorway, surprised to see a beautiful young lady i...
