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.

Serial Ranter In the usual mad rush to beat the next available person and gain a seat inside the unusual scarce buses in the morning, I noticed an elderly man, standing helplessly and unable to compete with the younger and much more heavily built youths all around him. Men and women, even kids all rushing, stepping on themselves, pulling one another's clothes without a care in the world and hurling insults at one another without even bothering about the elderly man, standing hopelessly. Indeed this generation is worse then Sodom and Gomorrah I thought. I was sick to my stomach at the sight, so I walked up to him, asked him where he was headed and fortunately, he was heading my way, so I told him to stay close and waited for the next bus, and as it came, I fought like a wounded tiger, pushing and scratching and finally succeeded in securing one spot, immediately I gave it to him, he climbed in and I couldn't get in as the bus was filled up. I felt fulfilled that instan...

Riotous Love

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 ...

While the torch Is lit, run with it

It’s hard to change your routine when you are a creature of habit. Habits formed from years of doing the same things over and over and over and over again. We get so comfortable with repeating schedules, we forget the magic of spontaneity and risk. The fun in chasing deals, pursuing forbidden love, romances unpersuaded or words left unsaid. Your dreams won't chase themselves. They need legs. How long are your legs. A wise man once said... Seeming is being. Stop being your own worst critic. Be your number one fan, first and your worst critic, last. You must have heard this a whole lot, life is short. Sounds like a cliché, right? You might laugh or think it's untrue, after all the world have been in existence for over 2000 years. You have also been hearing the same words since you were a child, now you are old and you are still hearing it. But think for a second, how old are you now? Was it not just a while ago you were a baby and still in your f...
