Invisible

Poem by Peejay. I have come to share a poem with you. I wonder if you will hear my sound as it travels, for I am invisible to you. I smile as I constantly check out your electricity. hoping that it is not a prank, How good does it get to have light 24/7? Even the kids back home first learn “Up Nepa, before they call out Mother”. I am reminded of your good facilities, the minute he smiles at me, yet I am invisible even to him.

Do You Have A Room/House Mate?

Back in the day, all I wanted was to have a roommate to speak with. Now, I think I have to reconsider how important companionship is for me. Enjoy every season, my dear. Today at church, I was reminded of Genesis 2: 18. God said, “It’s not good for the…

The Makeshift Tripod Stand

A lot of things don’t surprise me. Trust me if you live in Akute, the confused border between Lagos and Abuja, you would not be surprised too. Imagine how in awe I was when I came across a team of content creators, with an android phone and a wooden makeshift…
