#JusticeForOchanya: The Barren Womb of Patriarchal Justice

#JusticeForOchanya I am livid. And exhausted. Every time a story like Ochanya Elizabeth Ogbanje’s spills into the light, it is not just a personal tragedy; it is an indictment of a society that is not simply broken but is structurally engineered to consume its daughters. Ochanya, sent away at five for a “better future,” found instead a pit of sexual violence that started at age eight, endured…

From Meeting Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings. To Mourning Her.

I was deep in my afternoon nap when the phone rang the kind of nap where dreams and reality flirt dangerously. I almost ignored it. But something told me to pick up. Now, before you ask..yes, I’m supposed to be out there putting money into capitalism’s ever-hungry pockets, but relax, I’m on leave. Even revolutionaries need rest..sigh “Hello?” I mumbled, half in sleep, half in Accra…

Meeting Nana KONADU Agyeman Rawlings

Yes, Her Excellency, THEE NANA KONADU, former First Lady of Ghana, feminist before feminism became a hashtag, and the woman who dares to carve…

Resurgence

In the depths of the night, as the moon cast an eerie glow upon the desolate streets, a figure stirred restlessly in their bed. YooakpaTee, haunted by a sense of unaccomplishment that gnawed at her very core, found herself entangled in the seams of a life that seemed unstitched and unraveling. Solitude enveloped her like a suffocating shroud, a companion she had clandestinely slipped into,…

Mummy’s Boy, Hakimi

In the eyes of society, Achraf Hakimi may have seemed like the epitome of success – a talented footballer with a bright future, a doting husband and father, and mummy’s boy,. But behind the facade, there lay a troubling web of power imbalances, abuse, and betrayal. Photo by Nana Poley As James Baldwin once wrote, “Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live…

BON AGAIN

From the sea’s deep eimbrace,His logs tangles with shells of his roots,Dorothy’s kente prints, a tribute to his truth. In the beat of his drum, he finds his voice,A rhythm of life that helps him rejoice,His drum, his heart, ignites with fire,A new beginning, a soul’s desire. With every strike, his soul comes alive,Ignited by the waves, he starts to thrive,The sound like lightning, electrifies…

My Bane of Being

I’m sealed in my bag of emotions, through comfort eating and splashing milk on my lens of truth.

I’m not allowed a piece of the peace cake; I’m always shown into an apology for some self-esteem!

I’m seated with my syncretic trait disciples at the table of sanity; share the last supper of my ego over an interfaith dialogue with subtle humility. Which have been bopping to the hubbub of laughter and…

Self Validation

SELF VALIDATION

I’m not sure you have to be in this message called Love. We all need to solitude ourselves from the services of hate, greed, fear, jealousy and connect to the signals of self actualization.

We stand tall as a virgin Yoruba dick, rising our Phoenix area of excellence like milk jar cream, yet dead as an over stirred corn dough porridge…. We have no signals with joy.

Insanity of…

THE ANDROGEN - Societal Regression

THE ANDROGEN – Societal Regression

Androgyny = a teaspoon of common sense, a tablespoon of sweetness, a pinch of sass and a touch of class. We are always quick to conclude with our own definition, this is something I have contemplated on more than two or three occasions basically being a mass personality trait. It is the social conviction that you should look a specific route as a man, and  another as a lady. Likewise, the…
