Episode - 6 "self treaty"  
On a cool calm morning, after a heavy rain in the early hours, I laid in bed thinking the best recipe for a "my kind of morning" dish. And I thought to myself, maybe, just maybe 'Akara and Akamu' (without milk), just sugar would be perfect. I stopped one to think about making it myself, but I may starve before I finish the preparation. So it stepped off my bed for the nearest local breakfast spot. Nma Tedus, a local who own a little joint for mainly local dishes and palm wine. A typical African spot where one could listen to the funniest jokes, and the wisest saying.
That was where I saw Mr obiugwu and Mr wale for the first time, they both are different personalities but had something in common, palm will and local Gin. Mr obiugwu is a short and rounded man, his voice was like the sound of an old model speaker on loud volume, people thought it was his excessive consumption of palm wine that destroyed his vocal cords. Mr wale on the other hand was from the western part of East-west Africa, well grounded in vocabularies. When these two get drunk, what a pleasant scene it is to behold. Mean while I needed placed my breakfast order and wait for any entertainment session from the two men but non of it came. So I went home calmly and treated myself to a very satisfying and rejuvenating 'Akara and Akamu. "no milk"! Just sugar.😊

Side 1: First, it was all rumours, and like every other rumour, it  was spreading with light speed, The topic: A big dawg' was threatened to get exposed by an unknown, who by all means would be placeed as a smaller dawg' who this smaller 'dawg' was, was not certain yet, No one knew what was up, we at the periferals of the inner circle had just a little clue, one of us was surely going to be the smaller dawg' with the threat, it was almost certain. The question was, who? 6pm, on a chill out, sipping palm liquor on my balcony, after being disappointed by Tola, our fight the day before, her anger towards me, I decided to take a walk, spend some lone time out in the streets like the normal folks do. Just 16yards covered, I noticed I was quitely being followed. The first man was lanky, he wore a black shirt in a brown jacket, he had ear phones on and a black sun shade at about 6:25pm which really was odd to me, the second man was average, no sun shade on, he actually did...

The Legendary cereal.

Smoked garri, sometimes call "Oto" has become Nigeria's legendary cereal of all time, (I'll tell you for free) you should have known the satisfaction you derive form smoking garri (drinking garri if you may). sometimes, just sugar and water could be just enough to run the downloading process. Most times, people use beverages as milk and chocolate to increase the flavour. Other times Legend go out of their way to add "vegetables" such as cucumba and onions to it.(yea, thats true) But in entirety garri and grounduts have been the combination for decades. However, there could be somethings you don't know about smoking garri. Consider the fact that drinking alone without any protain supplement is dangerous for humans. Garri contains cyanide which is very dangerous to human health and humans have been warned to take it with a supplement that contains a good source of protein. You never knew did you?. Now you do know you might want to reduce your garri int...

Episode 1 'stay in Africa' I was 15 when i finished secondary school, a rare situation in clans around the world like Nigeria. So legally, i am to wait till I'm 17 to be in a university. Well this is no problem as jamb is willing to help with the job. But I didn't care about Jamb, or collage or anything, i just wanted to leave Nigeria, basically Africa. So i scraped jamb for three years hoping to get a scholarship in a country that is not in African. In my naive small mind, to me i was "my own man"so i took instructions from nobody, But it doesn't work like that here because ass whooping from parents in clans like Niaja is something they do with pride, its "proudly African" with the 'WHOOP RESPONSIBLY' tag on it. that's why you don't get to see punkass brats in africa. So i stayed at home for some years and before i knew what was up, i was 19. I didn't want to be a 22 year old 100 level niqqa in college. So it ran...
