SUSPECT: My Drinking Buddies & Me

Image
My name was Suspect and this is my story   One day while spending time with my drinking buddies at our favourite hangout spot, I picked up the pack of cigarettes we were smoking and stared reflectively at the bold write up in front of it - "Smokers are liable to Die Young".  Who were the cigarette company talking to? I silently asked myself and took of sip of the alcoholic beverage on my side of the table. I was stunned at how foolish I and my drinking buddies were to buy poison with our own money and ingest it into our systems. That day I promised my self never to smoke again.  But then I lied, I didn't give it much thought afterwards, hence smoking continued.  My buddies and I were just young adult trying to chop life and relish our youth. We were far from home and we lived a carefree life on campus and nothing could stand on our way, not even the coat wearing Papas and Mamas that often disturbed us with invites to their fellowships with judgementa...

Let's Talk: Help me I'm perplex!

I and Amanda have been head over heels for each ever since we met at the mall last year. I, a fresh tech graduate struggling to make ends meet while Amanda is a business tycoon's daughter. She had all she wants and so damn pretty. Why she agreed to date me still startles me.  Despite her mother's continues obstinate disapproval, Amanda's mind is made up and the woman has nothing else to do but to respect her daughter's decision and keep hoping that she wakes up from infatuation.  The day before yesterday, Mr's Cooker summoned me to her office. She was categorically clear that I should not tell her daughter about the proposed meeting and after proscastination and advice from my friends, I decided to be courageous and honour her invitation this morning.  "Biodun! welcome have a seat." she told me and I quickly obliged her.  "I know you love my daughter Amanda but socially, there's a sharp contrast between our family and yours. Please I...

Let's Talk with Samuel Lyricool

My friend is acquaintance with a certain man. Let's assume his name is Bello. Bello is jovial and good to everyone around him but he had the habit of drinking and quereling with his young wife.  recently things went sore between Bello and his wife and it resorted to him hitting her. The neighbour next door rushed to her rescue before the melancholic fellow would kill her. The altercation left her with a swollen lip and a red eye.  At night her husband threw her luggage out and asked her to leave his house. He locked his apartment and drove to God's knows where, leaving the lactating mom and his child outside. When I heard about this incident I almost cried. Why are *some men this heartless. How could he do to that to his wife and kid. If his wife offended him, did the child offend him too?"  With nowhere to go and a crying child, she sat on the corridor sobbing, when the neighbour who rescued her earlier came back home, he had no choice but to invite her in. H...

Today something really funny happened on my way to Barnawa from Town.  ____________ These two ladies seated in the middle row of the bus were busy talking about people and laughing and then Boom! my friend's name came up. They insulted and said all manner of stuffs against him. He is innocent of some of the aspersions but he is somehow what they said he is - A womanizer!   Unawares to these aproko girls, someone who knew them was seated behind them on the same bus.  As if that wasn't enough, my name came up too. "What's that his fair friend's name again?" The busy body amongst them asked. "Weytin be that him name sef? hmmmm Lyrical or na really cool. That SOV rapper na." her gossip partner replied.  At that moment I became unsettled and anxious to hear what they have to say about me. Mind you, I've never had a conversation with any of them. Hello, hi, good evening and other mild pleasantries was the highest conversation I've ever ...

Sapa!

"I once loved a lady and she broke my heart into pieces, now each piece is loving different ladies" were the exact words Seun Rhema told Judith the day she caught him cheating on her again.  She was hurt and awe-stricken by his audacity to look her straight in the eyes and tell her trash. If she's were not pregnant, I'm sure that she would have picked up her lugage and left his house. That evening her stupid military boyfriend left her all alone because he couldn't handle her nagging and went to the Officers Mess to chill. Judith couldn't sleep as she reminisced over the good times they once had and the red flags she foolishly ignored because she was so damn in love with him and how she got pregnant.  Despite being a serial cheat, she prefered Seun Rhema to me but we remained very close friends.  She called me crying and asking for what to do next. My only regret was that I told Judith to pin the pregnancy on Seun Rhema because I didn't want hi...

Like every other street, Palmview Street is very normal and has everyone going about their daily activities during the day, but is totally different at night, the loud music, colourful lights and sounds of cars going in and out of there every night made it stand out.               People looking for fun often visited the infamous " The Red Bar-Clubhouse " on palmview street to drink and chillax. The club has a bar, a shisha lounge and If you are horny, you can pay a visit to the brothel behind it to have sex with one of the oloshos there. Big, petite, fine, ugly, skillful and all sorts were there to satisfy your urge if you could afford them. Olosho or Ashawo as they are called, are commercial sex workers who imprudently trade their bodies for money. They are the most disciplined business persons you'd ever meet. They don't joke with their business and they don't give out their commodity on credit. "Money for hand, Back for ground" is their...

Squid Game (sketchy review)

Image
I've been watching Squid Game these past days and I must confess that the movie is quite intriguing. It kept me drooling  for more drama until the very last minute of the final episode.  Squid Game is nothing short of the reality that we live in. Where the elites pitch us against ourselves and watch in amusement as we ravage each other and the depiction of survival of the fittest (the human animalistic instinct to do whatever it takes to survive). "The series revolves around a contest in which 456 players, all drawn from different walks of life but each deeply in debt, play a series of children's games with deadly penalties if they lose for the chance to win a ₩45.6 billion prize." In this dreadful game, everyone dies and the last Man standing takes it all.  Original movie language: Korean  You can either download the movie and subtitle file or download *XPlayer to watch it in English Language.  Number of seasons: 1 (9 episodes)  If you've seen ...
