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.😊

Episode 2 -'the police is yourfriEND' A typical po'po within this clans enjoy to deal with 'snitch' situations.. In my neighborhood, we have no business with the police. So they help themselves at the slightest situations such as, minor matters like an argument between two friends on a girl. On a cool Sunday evening, I got engaged in a street fight i knew nothing of, well i was self defending. The craziest brother in my neighborhood took me passing by the street during their crew's argument personal, so he tried making me a victim, well, i was going to resist, i wasn't some damned little nigga prey to feast on, while I was feeling all doped up, i realized i was  disadvantaged by the numbers, so when it was about to get to its peak between I and the crew, other street niqqas got involved, ofcause it was gangs and frats stuff. Before i knew what was up, a street fight had evolved, it was barks! and bottles, and shouts, and bellows and punches and stone r

Hunted.

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

Life in my 20s

Some times it is said that some know knowledge comes at a certain age, and with this knowledge are feelings of self consciousness and Awareness, Life in one's 20s is war. On one hand, you have your freedom and independence, bolder, more confident and all; on the other hand you battle with self-imposed pressure from too much measuring and having no clue what the hell you're doing with your life. This is the case most of the time. While it is not the hardest phase of human life, 20s is that time when you're finally left alone in the driver's seat and you quickly realize what that means. That you're fully responsible for any decisionyou make for yourself, And sometimes when you fail at something, it seems more like a complete failure. It's easy to start imagining yourself a failure, but when you look at it, you see that you only started and all the failures, inconsistencies, and not-knowing-what-the-hell-youre doingw your life" is actually necessary.
