The Law Man

*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 and successes none could argue with.

He was light years ahead of his colleagues.

A school drop out from the University of Port Harcourt, rumours had it he was once a victim of cult related activities, he was bullied, threatened and made to run away from school.

But after two years, he was back again, older, stronger, bigger and smarter.

He was ready for them

Same rumor had it that after Nonso came back, legions of young cult guys ran away, those that didn't die form the terror he brought.

He came back and formed his own cult, or anti-cult.

All made up of former victims of cult related activities, just like him.

All trained, stronger, smarter and lethal than any force ever known.

A group that targets cultists!

And they went on to unleash a reign of terror that totally obliterated the era of cultism in Nigeria's education institution.

This was the beginning of his awakening and national sanitation.

But the presidency wasn't stupid

Eve though the entire country thought so.

Even the international community called him the joker

But he wasn't entirely stupid

He was playing a script

His own script

He was in over his head since he was elected, and he knew he had to do something to survive

So he created or rather trained his own Jack Bauer

A man who was ruthless and loyal

And one who would help him cement his presidency as one of he greatest in the country.

He wanted to be known as the man who ended terrorism.

Already he is being celebrated as the man who ended police brutality and corruption

Although it was a case of David and Saul

He didn't know this, he was a Muslim

But he didn't care

Let Nonso take part of the glory

He was aiming for something bigger, something more global

The total eradication of terrorism in Nigeria and Nonso was his hidden card.

Afterwards, he would take care of the police chief

He will make a martyr out of him, and soon Nigerians would forget the martyr and celebrate, worship and raise a monument for him, the president and savior of them all.

That was the grand plan.

"Mr President, Inspector Nonso is here sir."

His head of security, Abba, informed him.

"Ah, of course, let him in quickly, and Abba, hold all my other appointments."
He said it with his thick hausa accent.

"Right away sir." Abba said and went to carry out the instructions.

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!

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

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 ...
