Previously on: Belle-8-Ifuoma A month had passed since Belle got married to Ifuoma. Jonathan reached Lagos safely. He slipped back to his solitary ways.

Out Of Love – 2
Remember the story I covered sometimes back last year known as Out-of-Love? About a certain lady whom I know as *Agrippina*? Her message came abruptly, not that I was expecting it. Not at all. She was the last thing to cross my mind. She sent it at 0230 hours. Normally I do not answer calls…

The Inattentive Guy
When the bald man asks to speak for his baldness, he is not condemning the hirsute man. He simply wants to tell the feel of rain on his naked head. When one speaks of privilege, he is not condemning its owners. He simply asks to be the owner of his stories. Back then, I met…
Politics, God, and Bread
Religion and poverty always have a strong connection. Apart from Africa, even in Europe and America, the result is pretty much the same. My case is that the poor man needs religion.

Belle 7 – Rosemary
Previously on: Belle – 6 – Undecided Somewhere In Abuja, 1030 Hours. Jonathan, I woke up next to Bako. It seems we shared a bed last night after endless copious amounts of alcohol. I am so ashamed of myself currently. I’m not so sure that I could afford to look at your direction. I feel…
A Short Kenyan Story
So, why is the average Kenyan not alarmed despite the government’s decree of self-isolating? Well, the burgher class would say Kenyans are stupid for not following the isolation policy. Ever thought of it from the eyes of the common mwananchi? When was the last time they cared about anything that the government said? At times…

From Nanyuki With Love
A few weeks ago, in this new decade, I never thought I’d find myself in the northern hemisphere part of Kenya. It is too early to say that I was looking forward to going for the said so trip. It was a family affair. Which meant I would be exchanging pleasantries with long lost relatives…
