Marriage...A Green Card to Wilderness

Most of you are walking around with a very sophisticated ticket to nowhere.

You have expensive passports that lead to oblivion.

And it is called Mrs

The green card to a wilderness

To the outside world, you are happy and fulfilled.

To strangers, you are in the abroad.

But deep down, you know you are in hades.

How did you end up here?

Hoodwinked by a false societal and social constructivism that is often a mirage.

Suddenly you end up in a loveless marriage.

A marriage of convenience.

Months later you realize you just cufflinked yourself to the proverbial 9th stitching...The one you failed to notice on time.

Sometimes pressure creates an illusion of fulfillment and satisfaction.

You are hypnotized into a marriage of desperation, not even importance.

Most often, it’s too late for some to disengage from the emotional and marital cufflinks that binds us to a nightmare, one that doesn’t disappear when we wake up.

Sometimes marriage is just a green card to wilderness.

I was always present as the best friend, the loyal soldier, meanwhile I was notoriously known for not celebrating my own birthday. It was so bad that most of my friends didn't even know my date of birth, just my age. Yes, it was that bad! It was an exhausting exercise for me. The cake and speeches, by God I hated the hypocrisy. So this year I swore to him by the old gods and new, that I wasn't gonna be in the spotlight of his special day. I just wanted to drink and chill quietly in solitude. Surprisingly, without any fuss, he obliged me. ''Obi is now a man o'' I smiled. ...

Riotous Love

I have always found Tony, my boyfriend, fascinating His write-ups and rants about bad governance and patriarchy got me wet and awestruck every single time I visited his timeline Whenever he wrote a piece on Facebook and Twitter, he got thousands of likes and comments I always read every comment, especially from women who were mesmerized by his writing prowess I was once part of such women until I decided to shoot my shot, and, like cupid, I hit him straight in the heart A simple "Hello, I've read and enjoyed all your stories, maybe you could write ours someday, hope I'm not overreaching?" I had to drink almost a full bottle of bailey's to find courage for that stunt, and today, we are celebrating 8 months of the best love story ever. He was my Mr. Perfect, everything I could ever ask for and more It wasn't surprising when he asked me to join him and go for the peaceful protest here in Lagos, and like a love-struck puppy, quickly I jumped up and said yes That ...
