Happy Women's day (Little Women)

            Innocent souls but dirty minds I would call us. Feasting on our curiosity as young adolescent girls; made us talkers, thinkers and not doers, We grew our curious mind with dictionary at first; searching for sex related words and putting it down in a fresh 20 leaves paper and keeping it safe till the day we need to discuss about them so as to prove that we are not naïve. The American and British books that were printed in a brown paper; these books we took turns to read. Salvaging the little left from the movies we stream. To us we knew it all; every single thing about it. One time, I spent hours trying to figure out where a hole can be found in a female body apart from the anus, I never actually understood the diagram of the vagina. Back then in the classrooms, we read newspapers, dictionaries, brown novels and we discuss movies whenever we have free periods, all these to keeps our curious minds in checks. Some of those movies that were narrated by my friends still lives rent free in my head like “Fifty shades of Grey” well narrated and organized by my friend; I will never forget that narration. The two books I have in my head “Mine to Take” and “Rapture” these books never found its owners till we left school.

              We grew together, we made mistakes, we cried, we loved; we made the best choices and the wrong ones sometimes. We became LITTLE WOMEN. We molded our minds in the absence of the world. We never gave up and we lived passed the hunger strikes, the terrifying officers, the red and white uniform with the jigida belt, the constant voice of the sister principal reminding us of the world we are about to meet. I wonder what type of problem y’all are trying to tackle now; money problems? Relationship problems? or some other things I can’t guess. I miss the days of our unbothered minds. 

              To We, THE LITTLE WOMEN may we become achievers, happy and successful people in life. Amen

HAPPY WOMEN’S DAY TO US, TO EVERY WOMAN ALL OVER THE WORLD

WE ARE MEANT FOR GREATNESS

Patrice ! Ade is sick o ! He’s having cough. Are you serious! replied another voice. Ade ! don’t touch me ! I said don’t touch me pls ! The sound mixed with fear and anger could not let me concentrate on writing the essay I needed for my summer internship.      On the morning of that same day, the 20th of March 2020, we were mandated to attend  the orientation of Coronavirus organized by village du Benin Togo. And also one must wash his hands with the provided soap and water in the school compound  before you can be allowed in class. The orientation was held in the hall with not more than 100 students per barge. The first barge ended with the installation of fear and extra carefulness in us and we washed our hands according to what we were taught in the hall by the school nurse before we left the school environment.       I was still on the summer internship application when news was brought to us that school has shutdown till further notice...

PEDOPHILIES : A MAN BUTCHERED FOR ABUSING A 10 YEARS OLD GIRL ; Caught in the act

PEDOPHILIES : A MAN BUTCHERED FOR ABUSING A 10 YEARS OLD GIRL ; Caught in the act                                                  Whenever this little girl comes back from school, this man will call her to a lonely place close to her house to abuse her. This went on for a very long time without anyone finding out what this little girl has been going through. The man went on with this disgusting act with this little girl without thinking about the future damages he is doing to this little girl.                          On the day he decided to change there regular place to an uncompleted building, he was caught by the girl's father and other neighbours. Also rumor has it that the girl is not his only victim and so I ask; how many girls in this country are facing child abuse, how many of them ar...

It's either from the preachers or the students struggling for water or the prayers from the mosque ,  all these has become part of being a being a UNN student. scarcity of water, lack  of provision of light, lack of healthy classrooms and environment.
