I TURN MY BACK TO THE TROUBLES OF LIFE. By: Lawani David

The bigotry, hypocrisy, mediocrity, and extremism, especially in a country like ours.

I shut my ears away from the screams of pain: the shouts of hate.

My life is beautiful, that's what I wanna see and all I need to know.

I won't allow religious or societal norms tell me how to live it, I won't live in pain because I have to please religion or society.

I wouldn't live in fear no more, I won't live feeling isolated, I would not be a bigot and I would not accommodate bigotry or hypocrisy.

I would stay on my lane, you wanna be a part of it? Thank you.

You wanna be a judgemental hero? Take your saint abilities out of my life, take it to HEAVEN please. Ride your boat and let me ride mine as well, life is as big as an ocean, it can accommodate alot of boats and even ships - sail or ride freely, don't just sink mine.

I don't know how I made it to another year, but I beat the odds.

And I would not sacrifice myself for the primitivism of this country, NO. I will live my life as who I am regardless of what the odds of survival might be.
From today, it's too much juice and too much sauce. I deserve to be happy and free.

I am proud of where I am today, it's not the best place to be but I am out of where I used to be so I am out and proud.

Cheers to another exciting and better year on earth, I look forward to beating the odds, but this time around in spectacular fashion.

SEX-ESCAPADE

Relationship goals to some is dating with fine sex, but some of us dont take our time to check our partners before going into "it". Sexually transmitted diseases are flying around now and it’s like most of us don’t even pay attention to them. Sad, but had to be said. Tunde started dating Nina. She was beautiful, fair skinned and petite. "Portable babe", he called her whenever he boasts to his friends about her. Little did he know what he was getting himself into. He said she was so free with him, gave him anything he wanted. In his mind, he thought he was using her, but he noticed she kept coming back for more which fuelled his male ego.
