CHIEF EZE HAS DONE IT AGAIN (Abomination!)... A Story by E PLUS The Storyteller. Yesterday, I returned from the shop very late, in fact I was so tired that I slept off, leaving the akpu and okazi soup my wife had prepared for me, unattended to. Anyway, that is how I woke up today o! And I heard the news as early as 6.30am. You won't believe what my wife told me! Chai! Do you know that, our village has been sold! Aru!(Abomination). How did it all happen? According to my wife, news have it that, some ladies from the city came into the village with a proposal to build new houses and construct new roads.

WHEN STORY TALKS IN MANY WAYS… By E PLUS The Storyteller. I actually had a different title for this discourse; however I chose to settle with the above title that was suggested by C.O.D, one of the youngest members of E PLUS The Storyteller Creative Children Club, (who also doubles as one of the admins, a visual graphic artist, Storyteller, and producer.) particularly because it best describes and captures the narrative. Now, let me start with this question: When you write or narrate a story, what impartation do you want it to have on your audience or viewers? What do you expect them to get from the story? Whatever your answer is, there is an underlining narrative that plays out in every story, either subtly or overtly, and that is the need for your story to be visible from every angle of discourse, hence making your story holistic and accessible.

WHO ARE MY FRIENDS?... A Story by E PLUS The Storyteller. It's 2.00am, and I'm on this bed, restless, agitated and quite unsettled. The events over the week, has got me pondering.. Who are my friends? Like, really! Tarebi, is quite unassuming, yet fierce, and undoubtedly cantakorous. She has alot going on for her, yet she sees me as her biggest competition! Can you imagine? I have tried many times, to debunk that perception, but she still insist. Toke, is just a pain in the neck! "Give me this! Give me that!" That's all she's all about- always demanding, never giving, and to think I sacrifice so much just to keep her as a friend.. hmmm Rabi, madam 'chop money'. The first time I met Rabi, she cut across like a very selfless person, little did I know that she was a far cry! Rabi's intention for friendship is not without a price, little wonder, she can't keep any man! And to think, she is with me because of my rich uncle...

Apart from having a very charming smile, she was the life of the park, little wonder she was the toast of so many young men, particularly in her neighborhood. However, this was a major concern for her parents. “Where are you coming from, by this time? With an angry tone, her father asked, one Saturday evening. “Dad, I just attended my friend’s birthday party, the one I mentioned to you last week.” She replied. “Okay? But I don’t remember giving my approval.” Her father replied. “…but, Dad it’s just within the neighborhood.” She insisted. “Well that doesn’t still rule out the fact that I did not give my approval.” Her Dad maintained. “Okay, I’m sorry Dad.” She apologized. “Hmm...Ensure, this doesn’t happen again.” Her father instructed. “Okay, Dad.” She replied. Two weeks after, she told her Dad about a special event, organized by a youth forum to award outstan...
