Post Failed-Suicide: Life after death
As I write this, I think about the famous quote “once you go black, you never go back” I transform that to “once you go dark, you never go back” This might be a call for help. Maybe. Might. Just maybe. I remember a date I went on and I was asked what I think of mad people. I respond that no
My Social Experiment & Experience At The Ake Festival
I am nervous… It is a Friday morning and I realize the jacket my stylist made, doesn’t exactly fit Naomi(Me), well still, I rise! Long story short, I am on my way to the Ake festival; dressed in an Ankara jacket, a short black dress and the most painful sneakers on planet earth.

All About Multiple Personalities: I Have A Few, Do You?

Say “Cheese”
Before I start talking about happiness, I’d love to say I love crackers and cheese. Bread and cheese! Pasta in cheese!! Extra cheese on my vegan pizza!!! Cheese!! Cheese!! Cheese!! But on serious note, cheese isn’t free but happiness is. Happiness to me is, dedicating 3 hours daily to school books, 1 hour to self-development books, 6 hours to sleep

For every good and bad conviction, there is an intention, which is the outset of this piece. How much do you know about the incentive of the Boko Haram?
