Ogadinma

It has been 15 months since I last saw you, my acquaintance that shares the same body as I do. Do I speak as him or as I am or have we come to share a common consciousness as We? Odachi sets his bottle of Guinness beside me grinning and…

FROM KAIAMA WITH LOVE

An all too familiar trumpet sounds in the distance, the melody of horror I call it, followed by the gnashing of teeth by the number two citizens of Nigeria required to be dressed in white shirts, shorts and shoes. Corpers, angels, ‘winches’ (intended to sound as witches but the accent…

THE BEGINNING OF THE END

As I lay bleeding out on the ground, I was protesting peacefully at the Lekki tollgate and the Nigerian Military opened fire on unarmed citizens. The date is 20th October 2020 and these are my last words; Tell my mother I was unarmed Tell my father I had the flag…

Text I Never Sent

I miss you Placeholder for a degree of helplessness My heart’s smeared red like hertz Presageful, have I gazed upon these.

POWER

“The road to power is paved with hypocrisy, and casualties” - Frank Underwood (House of cards) The sky was vast, flooded with transparent mauve, sunrise creeping like a wisteria but cloudless.
