You Are not Available, you are Just 30

By

You are 30

You feel the aderaline running and rushing through your veins each time your mummy calls

You can guess where the conversation is going

You need to stop taking mummy calls if she's gonna put you in a state of depression

I know it is our culture to be dummy's to our parents and allow them run over us like Dangote trailer on a roof top

We are incapable of owning our peace of mind as long as family is involved

Abuse is fashionable in the African culture

We don't call it abuse

We don't know it as abuse

We know it as home training and discipline

So when mummy calls for the usual "I want to carry my grandchildren" rants

Avoid her calls

Unless she's in the hospital

Avoid her calls until you are ready to take a man home

If you must take a man home

Or you are ready to tell her to get the fuck off your case or be a surrogate mum and carry her own grand children

Don't allow Facebook documented engagement and premarital pictures shock you

There's no power in it

It's like PHCN

All noise, no real substance

Don't settle for the lesser evil if they are all evil

Don't consider Okoro because you are now 30

Don't consider Akpan because you are close to menopause

Don't consider Ahmed because you are the only one in your group of friends, yet to be married

Don't consider Akin, because your father is beginning to call you his second wife

Don't consider John because he is the only one asking

You are not available

You are just 30

If you are 30 or above and you still have doubts about all the men in your life

Listen to it

It's not paranoia

It's reason

It doesn't matter how old you are

Up your standards

Elevate

And start over

Listen, 30 is not equivalent to availability

You can be 30 and still be unavailable

Don't allow life rush you

Don't be in a hurry to leave the market

Take your time, price

The market is always open until you are done shopping

The market is always open until you are ready to leave the market.

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...
