“Smell am!” He screamed, pressing the cold metal on my nose.
“Wetin be dis?”
“Na gun” I said, as boiling point urine dropped on my boxers.
Guns are sexy in movies when with it, the actor kills 95 bad guys. Not as much in real life, pointed at you.

Brethren, I live my life I no like trouble.
Yet somehow, even in the most innocuous situations, these village Chinwetalu Agu et al manage to sneak wahala into everything.
I had enjoyed four blissful months with Pamela. A very adventurous young lady, fun and crazy to be with.

Lagos is a crazy place to live. It teaches you things whether you want to learn or not. You don’t even realize, till you see your reaction in certain situations
A town rife with different kinds of people and packaging, a town we “hate” but can’t leave

“...No wahala. Just Dey come” Progress said.
“I’ll be there tomorrow” I replied and ended the call.
But it was Progress. I should have known by now that somehow our combo would bring trouble.
And it did.

You know what’s beautiful about the first time you fall in love? The complete innocence of it all. The rush of emotions, the happiness, the seeing their face in your eba when you eat.
The first time is always wonderful, and this is a story about mine.

How do I in a public,rowdy place like Ikeja carry out like the Rotracts have, the 4 way test to ensure intactness of my Something. How do i confirm the following without looking like a pervert- Is it still there? Has it shrunk? Are the balls still complete?

Oga come down Na! come down!” The molue conductor screamed at Him angrily

My school had five hostels, containing about 300rooms, spread across three floors. Hall A and B for boys, Hall C and D for ladies, and one small PG-hostel.
They were all built like a square with an open center. Boys could visit girls and vice Versa

I can understand why sometimes when doing something for the first time most of us instead of asking questions, prefer to wing it. Because sometimes you ask people questions and instead of saying they don’t know, they’ll form and tell you rubbish or make you feel stupid.

Baba white was a feared old man. Always dressed in a red or black Jalamia, his head skinned, his eyes red and deep set.

Where you ever in that class where no day goes by without y'all receiving mass flogging? Like if at the end of a day, the class doesn't get flogged, you have to take a cane and flog yourself because your day is incomplete.
That was SS3d for me.
