They are boys not made of steel, Girls, not made of flowers

By
Parents expect so much youth from childhood

So much responsibility from infantry

Don't expect maturity from a child because they aren't mature to act mature

They are kids so why are you surprised when they act their nature????

Parents do wrong by wrongfully measuring their children by the standards of their bad decisions

Parents view their kids from the lens of their broken life

Asking too much from one so young

Expecting so much from one still developing

Using iron hands on feather skins

You are an adult and with all your seriousness and old age, you still make mistakes

Yet you will beat a child because he/she made one childish mistake

Let them grow old before you beat them cold

If they are indeed at their golden age, let them grow hotter first

Don't beat them while they are yet cold

They are but boys not steel

And Girls, not flowers

Have a wonderful week and if you have bought my book, Water and Fire...have an extra wonderful week ahead...the rest of you, get a copy of my book and get the extra!!!!

I love you all!!!

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 ...
