There lived a fairy in Nondally, but she wasn't always seen. The people who did, said her face was gleam. She made the roses bloom, she guarded the loom. She was dressed in green, a clothing fit for a queen. There lived a fairy in Nondally, she barely spoke. Hair  of brass, eyes like it was teary from smoke. She looked at the splendor with eyes of wonder "O' what a scene that stretched to yonder" There lived a fairy in Nondally, I was told. Who could have known how I would feel if I could behold. A beautiful fairy, immaculate beauty It pleases me to pen down this in a jiffy. 

A long night far away from a world you once knew. The streets lit up like dynamite and the air smelled of dust and metal. The rain poured but there wasn't any flood, each trickle hit the ground like sparks of electricity, what could have been a puddle, became streaks of lightning that created a path to infinite places. She wasn't of that world, but it all felt familiar. Her hair, neon with streaks of purple, blue and lilac. She was clothed in metal, shiny, lustrous transparent metal that matched with her umbrella and the bra underneath complemented her lips. Where would she go? A happy place? The perfect place? No one could tell but she knew by following the path the electric rain paved, she would finally be in a place called... Home. 

If you want to watch a movie so surreal that it feels like it is just you, watching from a distance, as a certain family goes to through hurdles to retain longevity, then you should see Lionheart. In all hype and noise, Lionheart stands in the rubble, undeterred, whilst it goes ahead to break through clichés, stereotypes and the nerve jerking predictable story lines always churned out with few polishing. So it is safe to say; I did not expect the ending. I expected like a big BOOM where the protagonist Adaeze (Genevieve Nnaji) saves the day, but still the ending was very real life and a great moral lesson particularly for people in business. Also I loved how they movie was able to incorporate how lives were ruined by the 'Change' in government. How people were are forced to make huge gambles just to stay afloat. In all diamonds: the rubies, the topazes, the sapphires, the hyacinths, the crystals, the peridotes, the amethysts, the emeralds.... Lionheart is a Sa...

(photo credit : Elena Berezina)  Let me tell you a story about the boys you want. They are mysterious, have a dangerous appeal, a spice of melodrama and zest for fantasy. Wonderland du jour and attention je ne sais quoi. They make you feel like you want the world to stop, heck the world stops when you are with them. The calls, damn the calls! Incessant, over the edge, every moment affair. You pour your hearts out on the phone, through texts, chats... It is a drug, you can never get enough of the intoxication. It is highend ecstasy borderline on molly heroine, morphine... The love engulfs you, you love them till your breathing stops, you love them till they call the cops on you... The love breeds madnees, you always want more but you never really get enough. And then... Reality sets in! It is an illusion, there is a sudden awakening, a flash of lightning that jolts you back to consciousness.  It comes fast, it ends faster. And then... Y...

There is nothing I hate more than this phrase 'Bad things happen to good people' It is devoid of hope, a lacuna of misery, an avalanche of agony. It shouldn't make any sense at all, because if it does then the opposite means that:  'Good things happen to bad people'  Why should bad people get what they want? Why do people believe that because of how the world has been wired, there is no karma? Let me make this known; Bad things happen to Bad people. You know why it looks like it happens to good people? Karma is very slow in action, consequences don't happen in a snap of a finger and that is why it appears like good people are endangered. But they are not! There is always a price to be GOOD! In thoughts, in actions, in words, in everything! Forget the world, forget the horror, the terrible people, the unfortunate humans, genuinely do good! Why? It pays to be good! It might look like people always take you for granted but you are...

Every October 5 of every year, right from the year I became conscious of my actions, is always a year I get to have a deep thought of what I really wanted in life. Some years I cried... Some years I felt lonely... Some years I felt like I am not enough... Some years I felt angry... Some years I just felt 'let's  get this over with'... In those years, I worked my ass off in my own way creating something that I could call substantial but in one way or the other, it didn't work. So I blamed myself over and over. But not once did I just look back on what I was doing, not once did I ever see that even though what I created didn't work, I actually have something to talk about. I mean I am 25 years old and I have a CV that can pass for a 30 year old or more (not to brag). Now this year, I am not going to do any of the sad things above. I am going to acknowledge that I am powerful! I am going to acknowledge that the world should be grateful that I am in...

I got into Twitter this evening hoping to live off some savagery until I saw a bunch of 'snowflakes' burning their Nike apparel, with the hash tag #justburnit This is on the grounds that Colin Kaepernick who was signed on Nike, disrespected Trump their country, so everyone should boycott or better still set some couple of Nike's bought with their money on fire. How cool is that? So I googled Colin to get with the program and saw this on Wikipedia: Colin,  born November 3, 1987 is an America football quarterback who is currently a free agent. Kaepernick played college football for the University of Nevada in Reno, where he was named the Western Athletic Conference(WAC) Offensive Player of the Year twice and became the only player in NCAA Division I FBS history to amass 10,000 passing yards and 4,000 rushing yards in a career. After graduating, he was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the second roun...
