  The thunderbolt of your love strikes my heart, lighting the joy of my world. Look at my eyes with unwavering love, let me sing a love song for you.  The song adorably orchestrated from my heart. Let me sink in the ocean of your love  as fragrance of your body  enslaves my straddle heart. My soul is caged in the boulevards of your love.  I am a sailor in your love, lost in Bermuda Triangle. Save me from death. I am destitute,  starving for an apartment in your heart. Lock me in the envelope of your life, keep me at the axis of your love, and let my love guard your life. I want to be the blood in your veins.  Let me dwell in your soul, reincarnating constant happiness.

This, in no small measure,  explains the misconceptions and rift among cultural groups within a multicultural environment as Nigeria.  A critical pointification here, will define a phenomenon that has captured my attention recently : The concept of looking one in the face. The predominant ethnic groups in Nigeria are Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa, but for the sake of what drives my discourse here, my focus will ray on the Yorubas and Igbos. The aforementioned groups occupy different geographical borders; but beyond this, their distinct worldview distances them. One of such worldview, would be the phenomenon of what “looking someone in t

  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. He heard Musa open the gate, and quickly hurried outside, only to stop abruptly on his tracks. His wife was leaning heavily on a young man with a belly nothing like his protruding own. The lean man who was now closer still supporting his wife was saying something, but he couldn't understand what. His gaze was fixed at his hopelessly drunk wife. In all their 23 years of marriage, it was the first time seeing her in such a state. He didn't know what to make of it. 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
