Kama Sutra
» ‎ Read entry @ azuka's blog

My cellphone rang loudly, rousing me from the uneasy sleep I had just drifted into. I reached for it, with half a mind not to answer if it was my elder brother, ‘Chief.’ It was. Courtesy, and the knowledge that I seldom called him, won out. I flipped the phone open. “Hello?” “Hello! Azuka, this is Chi!” I [...]

Criticism
» ‎ Read entry @ azuka's blog

We both know my writing is flawless. There are absolutely no mistakes — grammatical, punctuation-wise, or otherwise. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration if I cast modesty aside and called it perfect. It thus came as a surprise when I came across this comment on my faultless article The Jinn by someone called Mememe, here reproduced verbatim: So [...]

I’m back
» ‎ Read entry @ azuka's blog

… or at least, have been since Monday. I wish I could say Nigeria was completely fun — not that it wasn’t, but being away for quite a while had gotten me unaccustomed to some of the important things. Like NEPA PHCN. After a few weeks of making excuses with my employer and spending quite a bit [...]

Accident
» ‎ Read entry @ azuka's blog

I started taking driving lessons about a week ago. It’s been exciting in a way — never mind the fact that the instructor uses a very old Volkswagen ‘Bug’ Beetle. The gears make the most awful grinding noises in the world when I shift up or down and having long legs, the wheel touches my [...]

They said…

‘They said a witch was caught this afternoon close to Garrison,’ my cousin Bukky informed me breathlessly. Who are they? I wondered. It took me about ten seconds before it registered. They — that quaint Nigerian way of using the pronoun such that it meant no one, anyone, some people or everyone without any specifics as to [...]

The title of the post says it all. I’m back where I like to call home. I’m putting together the gist at the moment, but let’s just say I’m having a great time

Girls
» ‎ Read entry @ azuka's blog

Friends. That was my view of the opposite sex when I was little. Delicate friends. They were friends who generally didn’t like to play football — and when they did, they cried every time we ‘played rough.’ The tomboys were the exception — those scary girls you never tried to get into fights with because they would throw [...]

Mr. Nice Guy
» ‎ Read entry @ azuka's blog

No, this isn’t about the Jackie Chan film. It’s about me — and no, I’m not implying I’m the nicest guy around. The seeds were sown in the Fall of last year when my friend Samuel asked me to do him a favor. His cousin was apparently coming over from Ghana and would be staying in [...]

Other Half

When she looked up from the book she was reading, her mouth opened wide in a soundless scream as she jumped to her feet. It seemed like just a moment had passed since she last checked on him, but her son was sitting in the street, completely oblivious to the large truck bearing down on [...]

Destiny
» ‎ Read entry @ azuka's blog

I stood at the junction, trying to decide which way to go. Normally, it wouldn’t have taken more than a second for me to make that decision but that day was different. I had just witnessed three senior students having an argument about the existence of ‘destiny.’ I wasn’t supposed to be listening, and such philosophical [...]
