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.

Clad In Thoughts

I placed me In my thought, a large balcony covered with leaves, and long straws, with colourful petals growing on numerous stems that sprouted, cloudy over my head it was with bright light rays piercing the clouds. Like a garden, the balcony was pleasant with it's smell. At a corner sat a chair I saw myself sitting in as comfortable as my brain could imagine; warm, soft, clean and pleasant.  "Hmm, I could sit there for years" myself in my thoughts thought to itself.  Right inside my thought was the girl I liked standing at a corner the size of a rice grain whom a me adored so much. At another corner stood another me like a grain working so hard as though it was trying to build a V12 engine on AI. At another corner was another grain me marking my own exam scripts correcting my mistakes and scoring myself high as I marked. Then at another corner was another grain me barking at the top of its voice at a grain who seemed like the president, arms crossed, face frowned, seeming...

episode 8 - 'Some Authority shit'. At a time , when young people found something to keep themselves busy came so much outburst and disgust from authorities within the country. so while they (young people) were busy reaping off some cool easy cash with less stress and mild work, "something called working the street," living loud and noisy, they became potential targets for the Efcc and most especially the Police, and also small security units in each state within the country, my statistics has it that, out of every seven male adults from ages 18 to 30, at least one "worked the street".. now who's checking? At this time, it was forbidden for young males to wear deadlocks, ear rings, and tattoos; basically looking dope and fly was being frowned at by these authorities then to make things worse for you, get spotted with all these in a car and be below the age 24 and you'll be tagged a "fraudster." here's the irony; the authorities thinks...

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 o...

Episode - 5   ".. Pretend support " Niqqas were all doped up. Firing shots and fire works for the newly elected president. Actually they felt well elected themselves. After 100days in office, with tables still being cleaned and dusted to commence national duty, A year down the line the economy went sloppy. Some folks lost their jobs.

But for some niqqas, working the streets became very interesting, the exchange rate sky rocketed and they made quite a fortune. Amidst all these Nigerians realized that change basically goes two ways and all they did was bargain for the opposite.
