An Amazing Woman | Ezeobi Tochukwu Charles

I’ve heard people eulogize others,
I’ve heard men extol virtues in men,
Whether it be true or no, I do not know.
Now listen ye to this beautiful truth, try to gainsay it if you could. I know the best person in the world
Heart of pure gold beyond a doubt
The milk of human kindness from her out pours. And even if I have a bullet stuck in my brains, I wouldn’t stop blessing God for a wonderful angel like her.
She is goodness personified, a daughter of Zion blessed beyond reproach. My life she touched, my vices torched. She have been to me what a shell is to a snail. Without her, there won’t be a journey to start with, nor a race to win.
I will go on my knees to have her name inscribed on a million cities
For she is the light with which my future can be seen from years away.
She is the reason for the recovery of a thousand heads who were led astray.
Tell me where she got her magical heart and brain, and I promise to be born again.
And the loftiest of all heights in this world, momma have attained even with a single degree.
Should she get a mission across the Bermuda triangle, I’ll always go with her.
Cause she have proven herself to be an accomplice more than what the records can keep. I bless her hope to be so fruitful like a cashew tree. I will forever celebrate her, each time, each day.

Just one prayer for her, Oh! Maker of man, as many more days like this, be celebrated of her by them that love her. Within and beyond our national lines in an ocean of peace, abundance and joy, with smiles and laughter, uninterrupted may she swim.

Herein and hereafter she shall my mother and greatest admirer be.

Fiction | The Tripod Effect

THE TRIPOD EFFECT The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the surrogate father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife and said, "I'm off. The man should be here soon" Half an hour later, just by chance a door- to-door baby photographer rang the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. "Good morning, madam. I've come to...." "Oh, no need to explain. I've been expecting you," Mrs. Smith cut in. "Really?" the photographer asked. "Well, good. I've made a speciality of babies" "That's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat" After a moment, she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?" "Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch and perhaps a couple on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is fun too; you can really spread out!" "Bathtub, living room floo...

Celebrating the “father of modern African literature”: Chinua Achebe

Today I join Google to celebrate Chinua Achebe's 87th birthday. Chinua is the father of modern African literature who with literature has touched many lives. Chinua Achebe was one of the greatest African writers of his generation. On what would have been his 87th birthday if he was alive, Google is paying its respects to Chinua Achebe on its homepage. Go to Google.com to view the doddle. Unarguably, Achebe’s influence on African literature is inestimable. He’s widely known to be the “father of modern African literature” with novels which projected Nigerian and African culture globally at a time when much of the continent was freshly free from the chains of colonialism. Chinua Achebe passed away March 2013 in the United States of America at the age of 82. The literary icon's journey to literary greatness started with ' Things Fall Apart ', which was his first book. It was released nearly 60 years ago in 1958 and regarded as one of the most widely read books in Africa. ...
