"Ekabo.." Moju managed to greet her dad. Chief stood, and stared at her scornfully, for a while.


"You better warn this your daughter o! I can see signs of rebellion sprouting up in her! Emi O se Baba yeye o!(I'm not a foolish father!) I am a titled Chief, and you know what that means? Hmmmm!!!!" Chief exclaimed with a note of warning.


"Ah! Oko mi! Jor, edariji mi (Forgive me), I will talk to her, se o mo pe, omode ni(You know, she's just a little girl)." Olori pleaded with Chief.


"Eyin le mo (You know) by the time I unleash my other side..ehn!!! It's alright! Mo Fe jeun o! (I want to it!)" Chief said as headed for the inner room.


"Yes, Chief. Mo ti mu wa (I am bringing it)" Olori responded, and as soon as Chief was out of sight, she pulled Moju closer. 


"Jor o! Ema ko bami o! What was all that attitude about? Ehn?" Olori interrogated.


"Maami! I'm not happy in this house, I can't take it anymore jor!" Moju replied in anger.


"Hmmm..you know what? I think you will just kuku go and stay with your aunty at Taskforce, maybe that will calm you down, abi?" Olori said.


"Ah! Maami! Even better...at least I won't get to see the radarada in this house again. I don't even know why you keep making excuses for him! Oti su mi jare!" Moju continued lamenting.


"Oya! Take that bowl of soup to your father, he is still your father o!" Olori stressed.


"Motigbo Maami. (My mother, I have heard)" Moju replied.

"See o! Oremi!" Sofunmi beckoned on Emini as they walked along the village pathway, and then  they stood still as they watched a convoy heading their direction. After the convoy had made a stop, the driver of one of the vehicles beckoned on both ladies to come closer.


"Please, is this the main entrance to GREEN LAND?" He asked. Sofunmi stole glances at Emini, quite hesitant to respond.


"Yes! Yes! And I can take

 you around the village if you want!" Emini quickly replied, as she meandered her gait to attract more attention to herself. The driver who was quite pleased with Emini's response, smiled and beckoned on her to get into the car. 


"Ah ahn! Oremi! Me nko?" Sofunmi exclaimed.

  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. "Hmmm.. this is serious o! So very soon, this oyibo people will take over our small community?" Emini exclaimed further. "Na so o! Not only that o .. they will turn this small communit

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 as I get teary-eyed with my heart throbbing in my chest. The ground suddenly rumbles and

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! Tick tock!  I get irritated as an hour has passed since dad left the house. My hand trembling, I am about to dial the emergency number, when... Bang! Ba
