*African gods On Exile*

•I am a dinosaur in Africa, endangered and a threat to any enemy,
•I breathe fire like a dragon and very fearless like a tiger.
•My kind are no more, they're free slaves in London and China.
•Sold out by the "already made lovers" who are afraid of little beginning.
____________________________
•I protect the city from collapsing but my bosses treat me like a snail.
•My abilities are not recognized in the class of other mammals placing posterity at risk
•I feed like a lizard in the abundance of meat because I have no nectar to entice the butterflies on seat.
•But how am I to give nectar when my breathe is pure fire and my stampede is like that of a thousand soldiers?
____________________________
•I am a slave in my hometown Africa but the least of my kind is celebrated in Asia
•It's no crime to be black if the foreigners reject my color and accepts my strength
•But it's so painful to be black in a loamy soil and be overlooked in the peak of my prime.
•Once the call for an asylum abroad is heard , I'll saddle my donkey and answer, till honor blesses the turf that wraps my clay.
____________________________
•Things fall apart in Africa and the half of the yellow sun will never be full again.
•The grey hairs will substitute pains for their hunger while their pillow is overlaid with diamond stones.
•Famine and mockery are African twins in their gestation and greed is the reincarnated Mary Slessor that will stop their killing.
•When their birth comes, there will be no savior for Africa because African gods are on exile with the dinosaurs...

Dedicated to all African geniuses that have been stolen from us by the first world countries. Africa rising is a dream that can only come true when humanism is embraced and intelligence celebrated.

I am not afraid of the storm Facing it alone isn't something I would lose sleep over But I want to conquer with you Set anarchy to never after Bring liberty to forever more Alone we are survivors, caging the fiercest waves Swimming the deepest seas But, hand in hand we would drown the ocean You and I, we would drink the rivers dry And spit out islands Kingdavid Chinaeke Ofunne Authorpreneur

I hate my Job

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 ...

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 ...
