Happy Birthday: An Ode To A Brother Like No Other



There are some thoughts 
I'm glad life never made me ponder
It's the trajectory my life 
Would have taken without you in it.

You are a treasure 
That fills our heart with so much delight 
And cause our hearts to skip for joy.
The seas that cover the ends of the earth 
Cannot measure the happiness 
that floods the navels of our souls.





Your presence in this utopia 
Fills a void no one can attempt.
Cause your worth is immeasurable 
And you are a priceless gift 
that God designed to make this day whole.

On this special day,
Don't laugh at these skinny girls.
Tell your fathers not to walk like a crab 
Even though funny men cannot be trusted,
You have earned our trust.

Your creativity will continue to melt 
the crust of the earth 
Cause you melt our hearts in a manner
The sun cannot replicate.
You shape our lives with soothing words
In a manner the stars will stare in envy.

The stage is set and the dancers are ready.
Let the drums fill up the streets.
It's time for the orchestra to ring loud
With a sound of rejoicings that deafen ears.







For it is not a coincidence 
That it pleased the creative God 
To exercise his creativity to creatively create
And carve this creative genius 
To bless the world with his creativity.

If I had all the options in the world,
I will never swap a brother like you for another.
You are one of a kind whose presence has thought me
Many life invaluable lessons.

Who could forget your ingenuity 
From creatively designing a flute
With a pawpaw stalk
To those days you would save your pocket money 
Just to have a whole fish to yourself.




What beautiful memories
The words are inadequate to convey.
Why are we so blest is all I'll ask
To have you as gift for the world.


I pray that on this day,
You will continue to walk in purpose.
You will run and never get tired;
Walk and not get weary. 
May the wisdom God has graced you increase exponentially.

May you be secured under the shadows of his wings,
Continue to nestle in the hollows of his palms.
May you reside in his strong tower all your days,
And may your vision never be silenced.

Burning Coles (Pt. 2) - Emmanuela Evbuoma

‘My leg my leg’ Seyi who now was sitting on the floor cried. ‘Oh my God’ Mrs Cole exclaimed as she saw the oil stain on her daughter’s sky blue jean trousers. She quickly turned off the gas cooker and helped Seyi remove her trouser as she called on top of her voice to Mr Cole, who was hearing all that was going on but showed no interest. Mr Cole staggered into the kitchen ‘what is it? Why you shouting my name like they are chasing you?’ he asked, obviously drunk. ‘Hot oil poured on your daughter’s thighs and that’s all you can say?’ she asked as she poured cool water on Seyi’s thighs. ‘So what do you now want me to do?’ he asked annoyingly ‘better take her to the hospital and don’t disturb me’ he said and turned around to leave. ‘Ha is that all you have to say?’ Mrs Cole was fed up of her husband’s lackadaisical attitude. She lifted Seyi up from the floor and supported her as they walked out of the kitchen to the main door. She shouted on top of her voice ‘Bimbo b
