NIGERIA KILLS YOU IN DOSES...END SARS!!!

-

 So today, Nigerian youths are out on the streets protesting the menace called SARS. 

SARS(Special Anti Robbery Squad) who never actually chase after robbers but innocent citizens. 

The young man who chose to dye his hair red, the one who was unfortunate enough to have a tattoo, the one who didn't think carrying his hair in dreadlocks will be the end of him. 

Or the young man who was walking home with his laptop strapped to his back and was labelled a ''yahoo yahoo'' or an internet fraudster.

Or the young man who worked hard and was able to buy a 2006 Mercedes in 2020 and still get gunned down by SARS because how on earth is a young adult able to afford that ''luxury''.

Nigeria kills you in doses, from the empty buildings we know as hospitals to the roads that are practically non existent to the universities that are always closed because lecturers are on  strike to ask for a better wage.

It is not a crime to wear your hair in dreads.

It is not a crime to dye your hair red or purple.

It is not a crime to drive a Mercedes.

It is not a crime for the youth to carry their laptops about.


What is a crime :

Asking to search or check people's phones and bags.

Pointing a loaded gun at an innocent citizen.

Picking up people on the streets and pushing them into moving vehicles , sometimes branding them as criminals and planting incriminating evidences on them.

Killing innocent citizens just because you can.

End police brutality.

End SARS.

Let the youth walk freely in their father land.

    I hear SARS now means Special Armed Robbers Specialists. The Government must wake up to its responsibilities

In Loving Memory.....

  Today makes it exactly 40 days since you left us on this side.  It has not been easy, some days are good and we laugh through the pain.  Some days are horrible and we cry all through but even in the tears we hear you, we see you and we feel your presence. Olajumoke Oyeronke Abosede , my hardworking sister.   The day you were born I became a big sister, and the day you left you became my guardian angel. You wore so many hats with grace.  Never one to show pain except when absolutely out of your power.  Of all the special gifts in life however great or small, to have you as our sister was one of the best gifts. And deep in our hearts we keep your thoughts to always love and cherish and never to be forgotten. When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.  Thank you for the life we shared little sis. You are loved and will be missed forever. Fare thee well my beloved, until resurrection day.  Until then...this is In Lo...

Chronicles of an Immigrant: I Am a Work in Progress!

-
  This is not my first time moving from my home country to another land. But this time, it’s different. I have to remind myself that there’s so much at stake. I am no longer the starry-eyed young woman who left family and everything familiar years ago to chart a course for her life. Back then, I wasn’t afraid—I had no real commitments, except for a relationship that was alive today and dead tomorrow. Now, I am responsible for three human beings. Hey God. Two of them have their futures tied to the choices I make, whether good or bad. If this isn’t the real definition of “God abeg,” then I don’t know what is. The Language Barrier: English, but Make It Confusing One of the biggest hurdles for immigrants is communication. And I’m not just talking about learning a new language—because, as a proud English speaker who scored a 9 in IELTS , I thought I had this covered. But here I am, struggling with accents, slang, and professional jargon. The first time someone said, "You bet...

You’re Abroad Now, What’s Taking So Long?

 The immigrant journey is often painted with a broad brush of resilience and success. Society loves stories of those who "made it"—the entrepreneur who built a business from scratch, the professional who climbed the corporate ladder in record time, the student who became a shining example of excellence. But beneath these triumphs lies an unspoken burden—the immense pressure to succeed quickly. The Weight of Expectations For many immigrants, success isn’t just personal—it’s communal. The moment you step onto foreign soil, you carry the dreams, sacrifices, and hopes of those left behind. Parents, siblings, extended family, and even entire communities look up to you as their proof that a better life exists beyond borders. The expectation is clear: Don’t just survive—thrive, and do it fast.  Note the word "FAST". This pressure comes in different forms: The urgency to secure a well-paying job, even if it means working multiple shifts. The need to send money bac...
