ALWAYS FOR ME

Where I am is who I am.

Though I pass for a gentleman, but who cares if I am not?

This place craves evil, good never wins, so no one is cheering.

Your heart is broken? Chew the bloody pieces and save me the story.

Your hate is toothless. 
My love is like an armless chair, don't get too comfortable. Bloody thing breaks all the time, leaving me scarred everytime.

No! Nobody eats 'nice' when hungry. But I can wear it like a gown whenever I want to fool you. 

People love 'nice'. So give it to them when you need a hand.

Love is cheap, but words are cheaper.

Trust and discipline, those aren't for idiots. But I bathe in them daily, yet you still doubt the color of my friendship because it isn't packaged 'nicely'.

Keep waiting for a change, life is waving goodbye. And time is packing to leave.

I am saintly to one but evil to another, life wasn't designed to be fair. 

I still bleed from the cuts of lovers. And my stomach full from an enemy's soup.

Nobody came here to please. But to fight for a place. Where is your place? Have I found mine?

Your life will not end when mine ends.

The world will not stop when my heart stops.

So let's not pretend, you can live without me.

If we blend into each other's soul, good.

If we hate before we're late, perfect.

But I will not waste what is left of my days, trying to be 'nice'.

I am on a journey, and the destination was not built with emotional bricks.

If you are coming with me, don't slow me down. 

THIS IS MY JOURNEY.

WHAT IS LOVE? (3)

I once met a girl who seemed to understand me. She wasn't really pretty like that, but damn! She was smart. And there I was, suffering from a chronic sapiosexuality disorder, like a fly on honey, I easily got glued to her personality.  We could talk about everything, and laugh at the dumbest things. There were nights we didn't sleep at all, either chatting on BBM or talking on the phone till dawn. Either way, there was a strong connection.  We talked about the ideal relationship and what made it so.  We talked about the sacrifices, the struggles, the hurt, and the strong desire to make it work regardless.  We sorta knew why most relationships failed; LACK OF COMMUNICATION AND UNDERSTANDING.  The respect was on another level, we no dey miss each other's call o. Even if we did, the call-back was in a matter of seconds. Whenever I ran out of airtime in the middle of a call, I got an automatic top-up from her account. And I also did the same, when my poverty is on a...

WHAT IS LOVE? (4)

When I joined active politics in 1999, my eyes opened to the three kinds of love that exist in politics... Genuine Love. Fake Love. Misguided Love.  All three are needed in the life of a real politician. You need those who do not love you because of what you give them, those whose love is for sale, and those who only love you because your face looks good on your campaign posters.  The first Group can be harsh in telling you the truth. Some of them will openly tell you not to waste your money, you will not win. But they will never leave your side no matter what, and they will never keep quiet either. The second Group will tell you all the sweet things you want to hear about your campaign, how the other political camps are scared of you, and may be planning to kill you. If this information does not attract any money from you, they will sell same to the other camp about you. They know you're not the one, but they won't dare tell you. Because the benefit of the lies outweighs the ...

THE COVIDIOTS (1)

"This is your time, sir. Your hour of glory has come, and we must utilize every aspect of this misfortune to grow your fortune." Chief of Staff to the President whispered into his ears as they walked towards the Exco chamber, where all the 36 State governors and Federal Ministers waited for a very important meeting.  #Sule, was a controversial political science lecture at the Federal University Kashere, in Gombe State. His extreme political views against the last administration led to his sacking by the same government he victimized, his publications on social media and the print media played a vital role in the failed reelection bid of former President Ginlok Johnny. Because his followers believed he spoke the truth to authority without fear. They blindly endorsed his candidate of choice in the following presidential election without thinking twice.  His appointment as CoS to President #Mamman Bukar did not come as a surprise to the followers of political happenings in the c...
