Its 3:52am, I’m having those nights all over ( you know those nights when you get up and then going back to bed is so difficult) yes those nights. I’ve been up since about 2:26am because my roommate took my duvet all to herself and the weather is awfully cold but we make sacrifices for those we care about right?                                      So this is me and my huge glasses, a sweat jacket alongside socks covering my awfully cold feet, and the cravings for potato chips and Coca-Cola(I almost started frying my own sweet potatoes at this time but ). Plugged in headphones on the highest volume so I can't hear the raindrops but I guess they find their way to bother me, I mumbling to the chorus of  Jon Bellion's “the good in me” from his album The Human condition my best followed by Growth Your heart's a vine that I've bled trying to climb Yeah, you're making a ruin of me Tr...

5 senses All five senses are screaming nonsense, They are aggravated because you swept them off baby, You could have been discreet, But my eyeballs keep rolling, In your direction, Because your walk is alluring. You could have raised the tone, But your baritone delivered my ears from noise, And relieved it with your very own inspired song, No wonder you are claimed as 1derful. Now, my, Taste buds couldn't acknowledge you, There are already weaken by your tongue, You indeed master your words and the desserts they serve, Making my tummy rejoice without ever tasting. And hmmm, How you smell good! Nah, this might be a lie, Never have I come close to your natural scent, But the pleasentness you give to the rest of my senses is your pass. Touch, That's right, you have that touch, That only endurant souls  simultaneously leave and hold. My 5 senses are on the edge, As you keep "em interested, Captive, they are, Still screaming nonsense, Who c...

Growing up as only child has giving me a rare view of life, I’ve been constantly tagged with the only child syndrome with this tag which is somewhat overwhelming most times.  Just to correct the notion I don’t think any child decides to be an only child really, we should stop that. I’m an only child and aside growing up without siblings I don’t think I’m less of a human being than people with siblings. I never personally chose my status as an only child. The feeling that comes with being an only child could be somewhat contradictory at some points, one minute I’m excited about the new video game my dad bought for me and the next I feel bad because I’ve seen the game is fun in a two player mode, one moment I’m excited about my big box of clothes and the next I wonder what it would have felt like if I had  senior sister to give me hand-me-downs or a younger sister who would constantly borrow my clothes and wear them when they feel I’ve forgotten. This roller-coaster f...

so got some E-mails bout my recent silence well basically lets say before an artist goes on tour she sources for inspiration now back to my Article on Markets here in Calabar. Well my last trip  to Marian Market was epic, Nigerian markets are full of vibe there's never a dull moment, I was dropped off at the unity bank just opposite the market then i saw Children and Women running after two "Big Chicks" chanting the well known Nigerian phrase (Ashewo: just what we call Whores over here) well the crowd chased this two girls for a considerable distance. Then i asked a trader the reason and she just pointed out the fact that they wore clothes that were transparent without Underwear :).  Then back to my tour There's  an overhead bridge for the feeble minded pedestrians ( Better safe than sorry) Okay Coming down you see like a car park just there This work of art Caught my attention though had to go Closer to get a better shot Note calabar is full of many Scul...
