Motherhood or marriage is never an excuse to lose your humanity

By
Being a good wife doesn't make you a good woman

You can be a great mother and still be a terrible human being

Even Serial killers and ritualists have families who would give their lives for them 

The fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram terrorists have mothers who will die for them too

The devil didn't make them, they were born, loved at some point, and got twisted then demonized 

Motherhood or marriage is never an excuse to lose your humanity 

Lying and defending your husband when he is accused of rape, knowing fully well that he is guilty is a good example of a bad wife

Covering your son's rape charges instead of reporting him and allowing him face the law, is you being a protective mother and a demonic human being 

Doting on your kids and giving them all they want while subjecting your maid to abuse, hunger and maltreatment is you being a good mom but an evil human being 

I read the story of a girl who was constantly abused by her madam and maltreated until the husband started raping her to the knowledge of his wife, yet instead of helping her and probably reporting the man, the madam tortured and threatened her not to tell anyone from 13 years old till she grew up.
Today she is 21 and she's now calling both of them out. 

I have seen a mother shield her own husband from the police after he raped her 4 years old daughter repeatedly, his own biological daughter, she dropped the charges because the family asked her to... Her solution wasn't even to leave the animal, rather, she stopped leaving her child alone at home with him, and started backing her to work as a washer woman, washing people's clothes. 

She still stayed married to her jobless iron bender, and get this... She got pregnant for another pikin! 

These wives, mothers, women are not victims, they are cohorts and co-conspirators with their 'man' 

So let's get our facts right, you can be a good wife, a wonderful mom and still be a witch 

Being a good wife does not make you a good person 

Being a great mom doesn't mean you are a virtuous woman 

Even witches breastfeed, remember! 

Never get it twisted

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 ...
