Don't Lose Hope By: E. D. Oghre


"From the pen of the sad and depressed kid I present to you" 

So today I was really sad and so I told my friend.

And guess what she said.

She said; Don't Lose Hope.

I was like; No you don't get nothing is wrong.

But she said Don't Lose Hope.

No you are not getting me.

The Night is Dark.

It looks like there is no End.

Everything is coloured with doom and gloom.

The future is bleak.

But she said; Don't Lose Hope.

Friends and family have left me.

They turned their back on me.

I am all alone in the dark.

She said; don't lose hope.

What don't you get; Everything is gone.

I lost everything, My reputation, My money.

She still said; Don't Lose Hope.

The love of my Life left me.

She broke me.

Don't you understand that, I am Broken.

But she said; Don't Lose Hope.

It's Over.

I just feel like quitting.

I am tired.

Still don't lose hope.

What is the use of hoping if nothing ever come out of if.

Why plan, why work.

When you will fail.

I mean its hopeless.

And I am helpless.

But still she insisted.

Don't Lose Hope.

Please understand; I have too.

There is no hope.

I can't continue like this.

I am about to die.

But she still said; Don't lose hope.

Okay; I give up.

You know what; You win.

Why shouldn't I Lose Hope.

Give me a reason why I shouldn't
.
Then she smiled and said.

"Don't lose hope cause its all you have"

Then i realized, No matter how terrible the situation.

The moment you stop Hoping, You stop Living.

"So remember" 

No matter how bad it gets, Even when its Hopeless.

"Don't lose hope cause its all you got"

Echoes of My Soul By: Similafleur

Painted their soul with my flowers. Left my prints on their canvas. Their rough lines, I made into edges Cracks I filled with my energy. I wanted them to be art. I made them my art. I gave too much. They left me empty. ©Similafleur

It’s Dangerous to use broom to mash ‘ewedu,’ Gastroenterologist warns

Using a small bunch of broomsticks, known as ijabe, to mash ewedu (mallow-leaves) is very common among Nigerians when preparing the slimy soup. However, medical experts have said that the age-old practice is actually fraught with dangers. Ewedu is also known as Rama ayoyo  among Hausa, while the Igbo call it Kerenkere. Dr. Adegboyega Akere of the Department of Medicine, University College Hospital, Ibadan, on Wednesday, advised women and caterers to desist from the practice. Akere, a Consultant Gastroenterologist, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Ibadan that food handlers should always use blender for ewedu and every other ingredient used in cooking it. “They should not use broom to mash the vegetable,” he said. Akere said this is because ewedu soup that is mashed with broomsticks could still retain splinters of the broom, however minute. He said that when eaten, the splinters from the broomsticks could get trapped inside the oesophagus or the intestine. Akere ...

Painful letters By: Marvee

Every time I feel this way This terrifying kind of pain These twitchy palms and muffled sobs These weakened sights and mindless slob I would think of something To put me at ease, anything At times, to leave my world And be someone else, not a dud Often times I would write on plain sheet Write till my limbs felt weak Write till the page is covered in ink Write till the painful times shift.                                              ©-Marvee
