I quickly picked up the paper and my heart froze as I read the story. The report was about Edward. It stated that he had been involved in a car accident a few days before and that he was in a critical condition in an undisclosed hospital. 'While the doctors are battling to save his life, a source close to the family disclosed that his parents are making frantic efforts to have him taken to a hospital abroad,' I read. I stared at the paper in disbelief, not believing what was before my eyes. Edward in an accident? How did this happen? Different thoughts kept swirling through my mind. I was walking away from the vendor's stand in a daze when the man said: "Aunty, you never give me money for the paper o!" I apologised, paid him and left. Throughout that day, I thought about nothing else but the accident. I kept praying that he would be alright. I longed to get an update on his situation but there was no one I could reach immediately. My mother had stopped worki...

After that, Edward and I started seeing each other regularly. We were a couple now and we did things normal couples in love do like going out on dates and other things. We were very happy together and in my mind, I thought it would last forever. I kept the relationship away from my mother as I knew what her reaction would be. She would be against it and advise me to end it. That was the last thing I wanted to hear so I kept quiet. Unknown to me, other eyes were watching us and they were the ones that blew the lid open on my relationship with Edward. One evening, I returned from work to meet my mother pacing up and down on the verandah of our apartment. As soon as she saw me, she exclaimed: "You! Come here! Can you tell me what this is all about?" And she waved a magazine in my face. It was one of those soft sell variety that thrived on gossip and scandals. Staring at me from the cover was a large picture of Edward and I. It must have been taken the previous week when w...

I first came into the Addamson family as a little girl of about nine. You see, my mother was the family's housekeeper, a job she did for many years until her retirement a few years ago. My mother, siblings and I lived at the back of the expansive compound in a small, two bedroom flat. Even as a little girl, I could tell that my mother's employers were a different breed of people. Because of their wealth and status, they lived a different lifestyle and had different values and attitudes. There are five children in the Addamson family- three girls and two boys. Francis is the first son and heir while Edward, (the focus of my story), is the second son. Growing up, we did not interact much with the children of the family. One reason may be because they were hardly around. Once they finished primary school, they would be sent abroad for both their secondary and university education. It was like a family tradition. The only time I saw them was when they came home for holidays or s...

Edward, or Brother Edward as I called him, lived up to his words. Unlike a vast majority of graduates who roam the streets after leaving school, there was a job waiting for me when I finished, courtesy Edward. It was in the accounts section and I was to resume almost immediately after my service ended. My mother was so happy that she could not thank Edward or his parents enough. "Laura, do you know you are a very lucky girl?" my mother said a few days before I started work. "Not many in the country today have this kind of opportunity: a good job handed to you on a platter of gold! I want you to face your duties squarely, work hard and avoid things that will make your benefactors regret the support they have given you. Is that clear?" she stated, pulling at her right ear to emphasis her words. I reassured her that I would be a diligent worker and not be lazy or incompetent. "Don't worry, Mummy. I won't do anything you will be ashamed of," I pr...

Our eminences are bunch of fake snakes Too obnoxious to take as friends They're the one setting our lives at stake So cruel and brutal like a devilish fiend. They are  lion, the king of the jungle They took masses as their prey Their laughter has taken over our giggle And for power, they turned us to a dey. Through their veins runs embezzlement, In their brains, erects the palace of lies Which is scintillating like a golden garment And, they never care to listen to our cries. They made promises, with no manifestation Like a cloudy sky that gives no rain They're the dreadful whale in our ocean That is attacking us, to give us pain. The soul of justice has been crucified Like someone that committed a felony And partiality has been amplified Which brought injustice to our balcony. They're beasts, in humans form Our cleared sights, they let it be hazy They allowed equality to deform They're the one that's driving us crazy. Among us, th...

The power of love is quite extraordinary, honestly i have never encountered a force as powerful as this, a force strong enough to even blind visionaries, to tear down kindoms and build them up even stronger than before only to tear them down yet again, see i've grown to understand that love is selfish, understand me it is not a person who is inlove but love by itself is selfish, an ever hungry being that never gets full no matter how much it is fed Let us take love as that college we all wanna go to after high school, yet we treat it as a last option just in case we don't qualify for our dream colleges (the bachelor life) but at the end of the day that is where you will end up, if you have a heart, see on this slippery surface anyone can fall inlove, anyone can be admitted to study and know what love is Like most things this college requires heart, dedication, time, passion, and most importantly of all loyalty it doesn't care what you know or how much you know but...
