The punisher, he was called
A beast who never cowered in face of anything.
Dealing blows to enemy backs at every moment.
Dishing out hot slaps to everyone who dared to step on his shoes.
Dispensing pain medications, through his fists, to everyone who did not agree with him
Shelling out wads of cash to ensure the downfall of any rival.


'Alaroye' (newspaper), she was called.
A priest whose mouth never kept secrets.
A witch whose eyes never beheld any good deed.

Raining down invectives on all and sundry.
Bringing a stain upon every good relationship she comes in contact.
Cutting down men and women in their prime with decietful tales.
Distributing juicy scandalous tit bits for the quick cash and fame,
Giving zero concern for the lives of those involved in the scandal.


Jogunomi o!
Lest your end come in a swift manner.
A shameful demise that would imprint a dreadful stigma on your generations to come

Rest your oars from these wicked acts.
For a resting place awaits six feet below for the proponents of these acts.

Digest the bitter pill of humility and moderation.
A medication to cure bitterness towards men.
A panacea to rid mankind of excessive greed that drives many into devising illicit and harmful means  of acquiring wealth.

I remember watching Chuck Norris as a kid and wishing he was my dad because of his awesomeness. These memes will leave you reeling in laughter.

Enjoy the best of Chuck Norris

Thanks Kate Montaung for this Five minutes Friday prompt.
With the prompt being SAFE, I thought it good to write about how safe I feel everything I am with my lord.


00:00
My God my Lord
Binding me to Him with a chord of love.
Nudging me towards peace with his rod and staff.

00:53
For years I trod on paths of sin
My feet shod with sandals of pleasure.
Gathered around me were a squad of fear and failure.

01:11
Until I crossed the Rubicon of pleasure.
Sex held no more spice
Money brought no joy
New cars brought no peace
Nite clubs ushered in more trouble.

02:22
I had it all
Yet they held nothing.
For they were all vain acquisitions.

03:43
Then our paths crossed.
The local preacher told me a story about the cross
How you left your throne to come across
All to remove my sinful dross

04:22
I wondered how you could bear it all
How you could see my sin and not be appalled
How the sight of my filth never made your skin crawl
For I see myself in the mirror and I am indeed galled 

04:44
Then he told me of your love
Of your amazing touch that could wipe it all away
Of you wonderful hands that could make me whole
Of your tender arms where I could find rest.
And your solemn temples where I can be Safe.

05:00
In those arms I found rest
In those eyes I saw how much your loved me.
In your temple I found true joy.
With you I became an overcomer.

On a sail in a raft
Sea heaving in riotous rhythm
Angry typhoon gaining ground.
 
Skies dark with a clear message intended.
"Time to give up and quit"

A vigorous paddling
Heart fixed on survival
Human wit relied on for wisdom
Weak arms relied on for strength

Faster the typhoon approaches
The end is clear in sight and scope.
All seems lost.
 
A prayer for swift death on the lips.
A light shines forth
Silver lining in the midst of the dark clouds.
To warm and cheer troubled mind.
Calming the deathly rumbles.
Reining back the rampaging storm.

The light has a name.
A personal saviour to abide with the helpless.
 
The light has a purpose
To give hope to the troubled minds.
The light has a name.

The name Jesus.
The person Jesus.

 (A letter to Runs Girls)

Shoko yokoto

 
I hail ooo auntie.
You wey dey help women keep their husband.
Dey totori men senses with your wicked jeans from every brand.
Gucci, Prada, all to make men brain disband.
Dey make men give you all the moni wey them work for through your command


I hail ooo
Work for office you nor gree do.
So so women husband dey stick to you like glue
You don turn yasef to alaga madame overdo
Dey distribute your value like say na papa Dasuki pot of stew.
Sunday reach, you don run go church pew
All to get new members make them come pay all your dues.


Take your time sha o.
Your pot of shame don almost full.
The beating wey you go collect go dey bountiful
Dose acid carrying wives dey mostly dey unmerciful.
Their pikin guardian angels sef no go hear say your face adorable.
Them go change am for you like soldier wey meet agbero wey talk say him dey invincible.


To the uncle dem
You don hear of dat pikin wey no let im mama rest
Na devil you dey give invitation come your house like honorable guest.
Wen ur fowl yansh open for public, only you go attest.
Say all power and wisdom for this world no dey for man chest.

*Kosilala, may we go club na*
The call that sent me down an inquisitive lane.
A yearning to uncover the mysteries of the night.
A journey to withness firsthand, the most sought-after pleasures of a Friday night.
Like a school boy getting ready for his first trip to school, 
I excitedly put on my T shirt and a pair of palm slippers.
All the while envisioning what the night may bring.
A bumping dance with a hot model?
Beeni sir.
A taste of the world famous black Belaire bottle owned by Rick Ross,
Confirmed.
And perhaps a lucky shot at getting a number to follow up or take home.
While I ruminated on these thoughts,
The Holy spirit came.
Gently reminding me of my pledge to the cross.
Bringing to memory my tearful confession at the foot of the cross.
And bringing to bare the full scripture in Peter that admonished believers to watch and pray.
Like a ear impaired dog who did not hear the masters whistle, my mind sealed up.
For i chose to firmly affix my thoughts on Wizkid's *Daddy Yo* playing on my phone.
*Change that palms to any shoe o*
These words my bros said. All the while offering me his shoes to hasten my movement.
Within seconds, I was ready.
A slim guy donning a Red T-shirt and blue jeans.
A reprobate mind putting on black shoes.
To the club we drove.
A very busy hub whose numbers never seemed to die down.
A very lively hotspot, whose 'turn-up' never seemed to tune down.
At its entrance, three bouncers stopped our march.
Big burly human beasts whose appearance scared the living daylights out of me.
Round roughly hands that patted us down and ushered us into the place of action.
With beautiful ornaments, its stairways were designed.
Bearing semblance with the belief that the paths to Hades is beautifully adorned.
From the doors,
My cornea saw what could not be unseen.
My retinas beheld the wonders of poorly sewed outfits.
A parade of Sodomry and Gomorraic madness.
A contest challenging every lady to flaunt the most skin.
A pageantry celebrating the beauty of the female kind in its adamic state.
A show of lewdness that put the plethora of Kardashian craziness into the back seat.
At every corner, they sat.
Nodding while seeping Moet bottles
Making seductive gestures while drinking from their Belaire bottle.
Aye ooo.
My mind kept repeating.
Eyes darting from side to side in a bid of scooping every deranged iota of physical information.
For the heart that says rejects God's words, ushers in a thirst for debauchery.
A man came to us.
Ushering us with the best of smiles to an isolated rolling table.
As our gang bore semblance to a fresh set of ballers who had come to shut down the whole club.
The price list came and my eyes of understanding opened up a bit.
Bottle of Ciroc- 35k
Bottle of Moet- 50k.
A bankers salary to be finished at a sitting.
A child's school fees to drunk within thirty minutes.
Numbness engulfed me then.
All appetite vanished at that moment.
Who could blame me?
Apparently I had only 500 naira in my pockets at that point.
Apparently I would not get any ladies number because they all had a bottle of something at their tables.
Apparently all plans of enjoying this outing now looked bleak.
At that point, a siren sound came up.
*Yeekpa* I wanted to shout.
For I thought the angels were blowing the trumpets to announce the second coming of Jesus.
Another sound followed immediately.
An eerie gong sound that bore semblance to Undertakers entry sound in WWE wrestling matches.
*Eh ehh. Wen I say moni dey. I mean moni dey. Na ballers full ground here*
These words the club Mc and hype man shouted into the microphone.
All the while directing our attention to a group of girls lighting candles placed in a mini coffin.
Upon closer inspection, the candles turned out to be bottles.
A number of ten Moet bottles placed in two rows of five and carried to a table of four guys.
Upon reaching its destination, the corks were let loose.
A fantabulous spraying of its contents on wristwatches and gold chains worn by all four occupants.
Olorun mi ooo.
350k at a go.
A year salary of some state workers drank within ten minutes.
Apparently they were ballers.
A term of endearment for those people who seemed to have perfected the art of making other club goers feel sorry for their pathetic lives
Apparently they were the *money gang*
The crew who were perfect in showing others the misery of being rich and poor at the same time.
For a salaried earner of 100k was bound to think himself poor and wretched in the sight of the show of opulence.
While I was still mentally calculating the costs of the ten bottles, the sirens and eerie gong rang out again.
The ballers had spoken again.
Another ten bottles of Belaire to prove an established point.
Another 350k to emphasize and rub salt into our open wounds.
A loud reminder of our poverty and their obvious plenti plenty moni
The concluding part to come out soon
#BASHORUN

I can see.
Flood of tears streaming down your delicate face.
Your rosy life replaced by a topsy turvy one faught with failure.
Filled with disappointments that have deprived you of precious sleep.
Laden with bouts of miscarriages and recurring rounds of ailments.
I can hear;
The deep groans you utter in your anguish.
The whimper you wish to suppress every time the belt of your supposed better half touches you.
The deep breaths you take before going into the doctors office,
And the bitter cry when you are tagged unfruitful by your mother in law.
Nwa nnem.
Jide Chukwu Ike.
Move away from that bottle and make your way towards His temple.
With a little belief, approach His temple.
With a little strength, kneel at His feet.
With a genuine heart, thank Him for the times of plenty.
With a sincere heart, pour out your heart in prayers.
With a determined resolve, make a vow or seed offering to Him.
Naught more I can say.
Much more He can do.
For He is Jehovah overdo.
Surprising Sarah with a child in her old age.
Granting Esther favour in the sight of her peoples overlords
Using a little boy in David to bring victory to his nation.
Just believe auntie.
All will be well uncle.
He shall fight for you and you will hold your peace.
