Great taste isn't always acquired from the most sophisticated places... Sometimes it just needs the right tongue

By

Order can indeed come from chaos

I am a writing witness

I have lived a love borne from crisis

Beauty, grown from firece conflict

I have harvested Rose from thorns

Some months ago

Two ladies had a slight confrontation on my wall

Over a post I made

I don't know how to handle such violence

I abhor it

For me, it's a waste of time

And time is very very expensive

To devalue with unnecessary bickering over trival reasoning and understanding

So I reached out to the younger one

Who demonstrated maturity you would expect from the older one

Ironically, not only is she younger, she is unmarried too

Unlike the other

Older and married

Yet, quick to anger and verbal onslaught.

Shattering the narrative that age and marriage somehow bestows on us, divine wisdom and knowledge.

After I reached out and apologized on behalf of the supposed aggressor.

She took it in good strides

Very good strides I must say

I was impressed

We left it at that and went on our separate online paths

Few weeks later, fate carved a path for us again

Today, we are closer than paste on toothbrush

Order from chaos

Friendship from conflict

Most times we find purity and beauty from the most unusual places

Life is simple

You find answers in the least expected places

Sometimes, great taste isn't acquired from the most sophisticated places

Sometimes it just needs the right tongue.

To recognize it even in the commonest of places.

I have spoken

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

Solomon's Lair!

By
Rated 18 Solomon's lair  I almost refused to go for the birthday party this year. Solomon always hosted a party every year, and as usual, I always gave the opening speech and acted as the MC too. I hated the drama and fake smiles all around. Each year, new faces present, old faces absent. New Friends present, Old friends lost, only me stagnant. 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

By
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 ...
