  My face is always deadpan You cannot know the half of what I go through The emotions ravaging my heart The thoughts fighting in my head Fighting for expression Longing for release My face must be deadpan I cannot express the hurt inside I’ll be labelled weak ,you see I am a full blooded African woman I cannot, must not be anything but strong I’ll be cautioned ‘ To control myself!’ I must keep up with this dead pan mask For your good and mine I observe all societal niceties I smile when appropriate And frown when needed I cannot allow people to hear The very loud noises in my head I must be deadpan I must be strong The pressure threatening to submerge me Must be submerged by me No one must see it No one must know it It appears my life is great It appears I have it all But,I know I’m loosing my marbles I am going crazy But I must keep pretending I must keep being dead pan Solape Adetutu Adeyemi is a creative writer, blogger(  lifewithtutu.blogspot.com ) and poet.

  She was cheating on him. He had known the first night he heard her whispered voice, he had seen it in her jerky motions, but he had been sceptical, not wanting to read meaning into things. Now though, he was sure. The hour met with the minute and they both kissed 12:00 yet, no sign of her.  There was the car horn.

His wife now drank to stupor, kept late nights and cheated with boys that could be their son.  When the boy pushed past him to get into his house, his feet moved on their own accord. He stopped the boy, tran

THE NATION THAT CLINCHES TO SUPERSTARS (case study - Ayshatu Jibo) - By: Babatunde Adeleke .A

Nigeria and Nigerians are a strange lot, Ken Saro-Wiwa said that Africa kills her sun, I am wont to disagree. Perhaps, we used to do that in the past, not anymore. Today, we clinch to the superstars and ensure that they return to their father’s land to defend what is left of the country.  We do not do this in a bid to kill them, no, we do it in order to protect them. This was the same thing that happened earlier in the week when a report had it that some Nigerians were clamoring for the return of a particular United States of America sniper.                                    You would want to ask that on what grounds would Nigerians ask that a citizen and a soldier of the United States return to Nigeria. As always, the reasons are flimsy, ‘she was born in Nigeria’, ‘she is a native of Kano State’ amidst other thoughts that do not hold water.  Somebody commented that she should come back to defend her father’s land and I could not help but laugh. For someone who went through West Point
