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. ...

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 ...
