    SLEEPERY

    It must have been on a Wednesday when I decided to skip lunch because, unlike other days, the menu that day was not so enticing. So, skipping lunch was bearable. We were having mothukoi, and on such a day, if youโ€™re not a prefect on duty, you were not going to be enjoying the premium version of that, which was โ€˜spikedโ€™ with a lot of cooking oil and onions; in sheng, we called it ngata. In our school, meals preserved for prefects were called chamber. We found them being called so when we joined Form One, and I figure itโ€™s because the cooks served and set it aside in sufurias in a secluded part of the kitchenโ€”a chamber. More

    THE NEW WUEH OF LIFE!

    SKIRT OF THE NATION

    NAPENDA WABABA

    She was in the washroom when she picked my call that day. I have avoided using any other terminology because I badly wanted to say, โ€˜the crapper.โ€™ I donโ€™t go to the crapper with my phone. Okay, I have tried once or twice and ascertained that it doesnโ€™t work for me. The number of people […] More

    RICH SMOKING MUBABAZ

    He was just a town boy living in the village. When you have not grown up in the village, and at some point, life catapults you all the way from Lagos to a maize plantation in the middle of Ijebu-Igbo village, everyone knows youโ€™re a rooster from the city. You smell like the city. You […] More
