It's Our World

Episode 3 With sleepy eyes I checked the time. 2:00am it said. I must have dozed off after eating because, I hadn't changed my clothes. I walked to my mirror and took off my watch, classic man style. Took a shower and changed into sweatpants and a tank top, turned on a movie and picked my phone. A flood of messages came on my phone as I turned on my data connection. I took my time to reply them then I saw it, a message from +233200******, ( hwε  you want the number), It was Jewel. Hello stranger *wink*, it read, I quickly sent a reply. 5 mins later she sent another message. Yehowa, this girl is awake. 'I thought I had the wrong number',she texted. 'Lol, what are you doing up late?',I replied. 'Nothing really, just unable to sleep. Boyfriend problems' 'Oh that sucks. We can talk about it' 'I don't want to bother you, we just met' 'It doesn't matter, I'm bored anyway' 'He broke up with me because I could not mak...

EPISODE 2 ; WAHALA Walking back home that evening was not a part of my plans. I had completely forgotten my reason for going out in the first place; an errand. My mum sent me to a friend who would give me transport and some extra money as appreciation for my service, which I failed to render because I did not show up. I quickly called her to apologize and I was overjoyed to hear she had gone out. She asked me to come the following day...lucky me. Well, time to go home. 4 hours later...  I trod into my area like I had just ran a marathon. Sleep, hygiene and hunger, I did not even know which to tackle first, but before I got to my house the sleep had been eliminated. I saw the one person I never wanted to see in my life again exchanging words with my sister, my ex-girlfriend. My kid sister Rashida had quite the tremendous gift of words and a loud voice. She's a feisty one and whenever she's around, you can bet she'll announce her presence. Anyway, she was still screami...

Part 1  EPISODE 1: The beginning       One of the most annoying things in life is to get dressed for an occasion and then it starts to rain. My name is Ahmed Sultan, but my friends call me Hazard. I sat on the front steps wishing I could control the weather like they do in the movies. A few minutes ago my crush had called and asked if i could escort her to the mall. With adrenaline coursing through my veins , I was in and out of the shower in less than three minutes. I could not let this opportunity pass me by.      It all began with a wink. Just a wink. My best friends Ato and Sadia had come with me to the bus stop. The area clown, Hafiz, just shouted my name,"Hazard, Hazard". Honestly the theory behind that name remains a mystery to me. Anyway, I turned to respond to him then I saw her. A beauty beyond explanation. I totally forgot what i was going to say to Hafiz. I stared at her for so long that I missed the bus when it came t...

It was just hug, Yet I felt awake and felt so alive. The moment i looked in her eyes, I knew I had lost, All my sanity and defenses. To this girl, the queen among the princesses I yearn everyday to see her pretty face, To kiss her breath away and make her shake From her waist and all around her body From class I dash like a shot, just to meet her before she's gone Just so I can hug her close enough, To tell her i love her so much, And kiss her so she knows how much. But when i don't get a kiss, I'm much content with just a hug. By: Mohammed Abu-Bakr Saddique

Corruption, The seed of destruction The destruction of an adored nation A nation with great expectations Expectations of success without limitations. An expert is bribed to alter many facts The layman suffers from such pacts Like a cancer it destroys us from within For it is within that it can really be seen Like a king upon his throne it reigns Causing havoc in its regime Make no mistake By making allegations For all is at stake In this epic devastation Just a decision you make Can begin or end the creation Of the cancer we call Corruption Written by Abu-Bakr Saddique Mohammed

That is who you are! She wakes up and brushes her teeth, you wake up and chew your stick. Don't fret, that is who you are! Daddy brings him lunch everyday, you walk to get your own food. Don't fret, that is who you are! Many a time, we try to match other people. We often forget that we are very different people. Before you try to please other people, Ask yourself what do they do to please other people. A group of piglets is a litter, a group of kittens is a litter and a group of puppies is a litter. But even they know, they are not the same. Never l...
