TRUE BEAUTY BY ICHU JENNIFER

True beauty is in the way she laughs
True beauty is in her eyes
True beauty is how she acts
True beauty is inside

True beauty is unseen
True beauty is only felt
True beauty is not mean
True beauty is herself

True beauty can't be cruel
True beauty is bare
True beauty lies within you
True beauty is always there

True Beauty can't be covered with makeup
True beauty means true love
True beauty can't be baked up
True beauty is the flight of a dove

True beauty has no flaws
For True beauty is all that matters after all
True beauty is in 2015
And 2015 is true beauty for you.

Happy New year

Unpopular Opinions of a Hopeless Romantic

We have to admit, relationship, love and romance isn't what it used to be. Let us go back to the 20th century, our parent's times, where intentions were as clear as crystal and values were as respected as the oldest man in a family meeting. Men always went out of their ways to make women feel...special. Before any outings, permissions had to be taken from the lady's parents and the woman had to be brought back home before the sun began to set. Kisses were suspended to the 5th date. And sex....the guy would almost be as old as Metuselah before that even happened. Chivalry was always practiced, women were mostly the ones to raise their voice in an argument, "yanga" was still in vogue. Basically, it was a woman's world then! Hmmm am I meant to be a 90s child or Angel Gabriel just forgot to plant me in the 80s and postponed it to the 90s, you know; just the way he has been postponing blowing the trumpet? Well, then we come to our beloved 21st century, th

They say I'm a woman; I bend, I don't break But driving home this evening, I wish I could, life is no piece of cake I got married to Jake, beside a shallow lake, middle east Nigeria We had a three weeks honeymoon afterwards, in USA Virginia Everything seemed like a love song on rewind; no drama, no ache no promises left vague But then things started to change, six years now. Marriage has turned to a sea of hate Did I marry a fake. I'm I being forsaken for goodness sakes I can't last a decade help me. I can't wake everyday and take this ache They say for better for worse, in the day and at night we should hold each other In sickness, in health, in the storm in the rain we should stay together No one thinks of the pain, no one else hears the thunder. No one but me, no not one sees his blunders So I open the door, I see Jake sleeping in his own alcohol I look up for peace, love or help I see none at all I walk to him, pick his coat and adjust his head on

PUZZLED CONTINUATION CHAPTER ONE PART TWO

ADA NZERIBE 5:00PM, 15 APRIL 2014 BLOCK C, ROOM 26 No one really understands my life. Schooling in prestige would be one of the most confusing things about me. I am not a privileged child like the rest of the girls in my school. You see, walking the streets of prestige all you see are million dollar bills strolling to classes, the designers wristwatches, bags, tops, shirts, skirts and gowns, the expensive weaves, the designer lip sticks and eye brow fillers, the foreign accents and pin up attitudes and if cars were allowed within the school I wonder what will be expected from prestige student. I, Adaobi Nzeribe as a human lived and grew up in the belly of Lagos state in a two bedroom flat with my mother and my little sister, Uju. Life isn’t rehersal dinners or cocktail parties for me. Life is the hard struggle to put food on the table, see her fees paid and struggle to get paid for some pocket money for me. My mom got pregnant for me out of wedlock to a married man, that was how I
