I needed to eat a quick meal before my night shift started, so I combed the streets in search of a decent but affordable restaurant; those two terms however do not go together in Lagos and so I didn’t find any. I had to ask an apparently Yoruba lady, who then pointed to a store but added, “they sell only Igbo food, you will have to get to the junction to get Yoruba food”. I was reminded of two facts. One was that Nigerians were still very conscious of how different we are based on our tribes. The second was…

While painting a portrait of my father as a dead man, I am also cooking dinner. I gorge out my father’s eyes and blend them with the red peppercorn seeds to heighten the sting of the soup’s spice. /////// Call me a cowardice, he is asleep, tired from work, even made time to ask how my day was. /////// I cut my father’s spine like it is the water leaf I am chopping to make eforiro soup. In his portrait I paint his bones as a white caterpillar, the kind that never grows into a butterfly. You think killing a…
HOLY HUMOUR GOOD SERMON A preacher’s little boy inquired, “Daddy, I notice every Sunday morning when you first come out to preach, you sit up on the platform and bow your head. What are you doing?” The father explained, “I’m asking the Lord to give me a good sermon.” The little boy said, “Then why doesn’t he?” THEY DIED IN THE SERVICE One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Johnny was staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church. The seven-year-old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor…
The fourth part of a four-part series on building a life of prayer by by Father Francis Martin, S.S.D. Putting Prayer into Practice How does this begin? It begins by turning from our sins and turning to God. The Lord calls us, “leave off your sin, come to get to know me, because I think thoughts of peace and I’m ready to bless you in a way that goes beyond anything you can imagine. But you must come, you must learn to relate to me, to submit to me, to give your life to me and learn what it is…
LAUGH QUOTE One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never. Oscar Wilde TRY THIS, HOTSHOT A young pilot in a two-engine fighter was flying escort for a B- 52 and generally being a nuisance, acting like a hotshot, flying rolls around the lumbering old bomber. The hotshot said over the air, “Anything you can do, I can do better.” The veteran bomber pilot answered, “Try this hot-shot.” The B-52 continued its flight, straight and level. Perplexed, the hotshot asked, “So? What did you do?” ”I just shut down two engines, kid.” WISE GUYS ANSWER TO STUPID…
Is the advent of so many betting companies in Nigeria a good thing? Most neighbourhoods across the country have betting shops doted all over the place. In an economy with a high unemployment rate, the temptation to have recourse to placing sporting bets hoping to hit a jackpot is very high. That is the biggest attraction of sports betting – the value proposition that for little or nothing placed as a bet, you can win a lot of money. When you are unemployed and looking for how to make ends meet, getting involved in sports betting hoping against hope to…
Nigerian wordsmith Theresa Lola has been named joint winner of the prestigious 2018 Brunel International African Poetry Prize.
