All they saw was a street girl without roots. Without hope, without a future. Without rights, to be violated. Without parents, to be disregarded Without opinions, to be shut up. Without a voice, to be heard. Without virtue, to be immoral. Without job security, to be protected. Without an Education, to remain ignorant. Without a place in society. I am that street girl. Now with so much hope the future fringes. With new found motherhood I wax in the regards of my children. With a voice so loud it reverberates throughout the world like the screams of Drogon for his mother - Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons. An upholder of human rights not consumed with the power that lies within me. With so much opinions at the table that you would call me the opinion poll.

I am that street girl with so man...

I was befuddled, I literally saw my life flash before my eyes and as quickly as it started it stopped and I thought at last I was free. It wasn’t that serious after all as I drifted off to sleep.... DEAR ALEX: A Tribute Jesus! I heard myself sc...

I have realized in life that things never stay the same, not because they just want to evolve, rather because change is constant and this principle governs life as a whole. I remember a time when owning a landline was "What's up" and mind you, not just any kind of landline phone o but that one you would rotate and then it would connect you to operator. Am sure my 1960 children can relate.  Anyways, fast forward to the early 2000 where owning a cellular was a big deal.. I still recall in 2001 when my dad came home with a motorola cellular phone, that had a really long antenna (I think for about 40k then) and mind you ,if yours did not have an antenna you were not a big boy o...Even SIM card sef! Was gold! We purchased our Econet sim for about 20000 naira, now that same sim card I bought a month ago, for 200 naira plus registration o . I also remember my first love blackberry. Oh! Blackberry! that I never got to use because it was freaking expensive; if you d...
