[10/30/2015, 8:22 AM] ejiro: Well, it was such a beautiful sight to behold. All the same I had the urge to handle the baby, myself. I guess this was a sign that I was getting attached to her already.
[10/30/2015, 8:45 AM] ejiro: More so, I believed Kunle had overstayed his welcome but of course I had to keep that opinion within myself.
 I managed to see some of my guest off and then I just realized that Sade had disappeared the entire occasion.
 I pondered on where she must have gone to without even a hint!
  Suddenly, I longed for some of those Tina's doughnut, it had dawned on me that I had not even eaten all the while!
[10/30/2015, 8:45 AM] ejiro: I dashed for the kitchen hoping I would be lucky enough to get some for myself
[10/30/2015, 9:04 AM] ejiro: Hmmm..and there they were! more doughnuts. I sat on a small wooden chair and settled down to munch every bit of each doughnut I laid my hands on.
[10/30/2015, 10:13 AM] ejiro: I think I must have gotten carried away  as I hardly noticed my cousin, Tina who had entered the kitchen.
 "Oh, Tina, weldone " I said once I had realized her presence.
[10/30/2015, 10:37 AM] ejiro: "Yea, thanks. You also did a great job attending to all our guest" Tina replied.
 "Thanks" I responded and kept munching my doughnut.
"...but Trishia, what do you intend to do with your friend and her baby now?

  GREEN LAND... Written by E PLUS The Storyteller. "You should have seen the way chief was looking at me last night? Emini said with so much delight. "Eh ehn! Like seriously? But...wait ooo what about his Olori?" Sofunmi replied.   For a moment, Emini became quite upset, and she faced the other way.  "What kind of useless question is that?  I'm I the Olori's keeper? Is it my fault that her husband's eyes caught mine? Jor o!" Emini snapped.  "Oya nau! Pele!(Sorry), mabinu oremi, jor!(Don't be upset my friend, please)." "Hmmm! Ko si wahala (No problem) meanwhile, what is this rumour that we are hearing about GREEN LAND?" Emini responded. "Oremi, if I tell you that I understand, I will be lying to you." Sofunmi exclaimed.

The Wailing Creatures  W ritten by Sumayyah Oluwafunbi Ogunsola     With a big smile on and shiny gleaming teeth plastered on my sweaty face, I step inside the dusty building with the big bold inscription: ‘ WELCOME TO THE ZOO!’  As I walk around with my black heels making a pit-pat, click-clack sound, my eager brown irises get locked in a trance with the brownish red Hawaiian bird. The bird’s fluffy feathers gently ruffles, and his sad eyes stare at mine. ’13 YEARS OLD’ the sign on the cage says. I take a deep, heavy breath and trudge forward.           “Oooh!” the wail of a mama chimpanzee reaches my sensitive ears, causing my skin to have a minute goosebumps.    Heartbreaking scene of a mother chimpanzee and her child in black, rusted chains and anguished expressions on their faces, permanently etches itself in my head. ‘MOTHER: 29. BABY: 4’ sign, displays.           My white eyeballs blur ...

That’s NOT my father! Sumayyah Oluwafunbi Ogunsola

      That’s NOT my Father!       Sumayyah Oluwafunbi  Ogunsola              It’s a bleak, dark late evening accompanied by torrent of rain and the howling of the wind; the power is out. My father and I sit down in the parlour, looking at each other and sighing in disappointment, as our fun day out was ruined. I glance at our pet cat, Tata, to see that she is fast asleep.               Exasperated, my father launches himself on the sofa and says to me, “I am going to get Starbucks. Wait for me.” Worried, I respond “In the rain, and at this time, dad? You have heard how dangerous people lurk in the cloak of darkness...” He cuts me off. Tells me there is nothing to worry about and that he would be back soon, after all, 'he is just going to Starbucks, right?' I shut the door behind him. 10 minutes. 15 minute… Tick tock...
