December to Remember 1

Image
I know it's not the Valentine Season but permit me to share my story with you. Feel free to share it on your blog, it's fine with me.  I have always categorized people into different strata. At the top are those born with what I call diamond spoons—the privileged, the untouchable, those living the glam life. Then there are people like me who are occupying the lowest rung of the social ladder. People struggling to find even a broken spoon. Judging by where I found myself at birth, it's obvious I had no say in the creation matter and didn’t get to choose my parents or the family I was born into. Wait a minute, did I say parents? Well, I was abandoned infront of an orphanage by an unknown person. So my first steps were taken within the walls of the orphanage home. As a child, I was oblivious of my unfortunate situation. However, the moment I got registered in school, the reality of my disability hit home. I was different. The initial confusion of why I had not parents like o...

German Christmas Market Experience

Image
Did you know that every Christmas season, the streets of Germany come alive with open-air markets known as Christkindlmarkt (the little city of wood and cloth)? These historical markets usually adorn the beautiful market squares of cities only during the Advent Season and end on the Christmas eve in most cities. Although this tradition dates back to the middle ages, today they still resonate the  past.

Christmas: How My First Career Ended

Image
Old Post I always look back with nostalgia to my teen years back in the 90s. Nikky Christmas was fun on another level back then especially because it was a time for eating delicious delicacies, wearing your Christmas cloth, enjoying a bottle of drink alone instead of sharing it with others, watching masquerades and dance troupes to exhibit their skills. My big dream was to join a masquerade group and get to be the masquerade. So i was excited when some boys in my class who also lived on my street decided to form a masquerade group and asked me to join them. My dream was coming true and I gladly became a member. We turned into designers and picked rafia from the bush, colored, sewed them together to make a garment for our masquerade.

My white Christmas tale

Image
Hello Nikky, I love the pictures you have been sharing with us this season. But I just want to share this my first experience Of White Christmas with you and everyone. As a teenager, I always loved watching or seeing Hollywood Christmas movies especially on Hallmark movies Channel. Its something I looked forward to every Christmas. The best part was always the part they play in the snow, build snow men or when I hear stuff like; "its white Christmas!" I remember I used to wish we had snow during Christmas in Naija. I would have given anything to convince God to change our yeye harmattan to winter.

My Stress Free Christmas Therapy

We are now in the second week of December and I'm guessing that you are already screaming; where are the days rushing to?" I understand that feeling. Infact, I recall when I used to wonder if December was indeed 31days because it always ended before you were even ready for the month to begin.  Once schools close for the holiday, everything starts spiraling out of control and down hill. Items become annoyingly pricey especially at a time when your pocket is tight and you need to buy new decorations for the house, gifts for everyone and fuel the car for your trip. Even airplane tickets skyrocket, leaving you wondering who we offended in this country.

Ripples, Season Finale

Image
The evening wind picked up and chased dead leaves along the partly muddy road as Kene tried to figure out what just happened but his brain refused to process the events surrounding him that evening.  I am probably drunk and must have dozed off somewhere after last night’s birthday parte; a part of him analyzed. But I stopped taking alcoholic beverages a long time ago after ... he suddenly halted that trail of thought. He didn't feel the need to rouse the ghosts from his past after the emotionally draining evening.  I am certainly not drunk and the pain in my chest from that brutes elbow was too real to be a dream. That guy nearly killed me for nothi... “Congratulations sir.” A husky voice startled him back to reality. It was one of Sade's men. Kene stared at the man who was beaming at him as if he had just won a betting game. He had assumed the man had left with Sade. How come he didn't feel his presence earlier? “My name is Brendan. We will get to know each other better on...

He grabbed Kene by the shirt, shoved him  backwards and pinned him on Bam Bam's car.  Kene winced from the impact and pushed  against his rock solid chest but his struggles were like that of a kid pushing against a bag of bricks. He gasped for breath as the huge man's elbow dug into his chest, holding him in place.  Bam Bam rubbed a finger against her brow and sighed loudly; "Leash your dog Dapo. You can't go about assaulting innocent people!" "Let me go! I didn't do anything!"  Kene yelped and fought harder to push the hulk off him but this only infuriated the man and he increased the pressure on kene's chest. The latter screamed out as pain tore through his body.  Bam Bam glared at the unyielding Dapo;

The woman sure has some spunk. Kene thought and decided to enjoy the unfolding drama between the two. He folded his arms across his chest and leaned on the car.  “Sade, you will be my wife someday so I will advise you to quit mingling with peasants.” “Your wife? You really need to wake up from this drug induced slumber. I will NOT Marry you and while trying to get over your delusion, I take exceptions to you being rude to my Personal Assistant.” “Your WHAT!”

[ Previously  E.9 ] "See who left the comfort of his mansion today." The blank expression on her face shifted and was replaced by undisguised disgust. Dapo fumed inwardly but grinned at her instead; "Sweetie that is not how to gree..." His words trailed off when the drivers door bursted open at that moment and a man tumbled out of Sade's car. Dapo's keen eyes raked over the man as his bodyguards moved closer to protect him.  Man? This was no man! All he could see infront of him was a rascal. Someone not even fit to mow his lawn. His insides  cringed as his anger took a new form with the realization that Sade had been ignoring him because of the bum.  He watched as the low life rushed over to Sade's side and took her hands in his;

Continue from E.8 ] A sharp rap on her window made her unlock the doors. Pushing the drivers door open she smiled up at someone, got out of the car and banged the door shut. There is no way I am going to jail just because of a car bumper , Kene thought as he hastily tried to open his door. After some seconds of staring at the door in search of a handle he sat back confused.  "How do I get out? Where is the handle bikonu?" He looked at the drivers door and back at his side as he tried to figure out how to exit the car which was totally different from his old model or any model he had ever had the privilege of being inside.   "Did she lock me inside?" He asked himself while a startled expression settled on his tired face;  "I am trapped! She said I'm going nowhere so she trapped me in her car!  I'm finished!"
