Why has the ugly ones refused to die?

The beautiful ones are not yet born because the ugly ones refused to die.  Actually, the joys of motherhood is that the African child should have great expectations by this time tomorrow so as to marry when they want instead of waiting for an angel at the midnight hotel.

Veronica my Daughter! This is our chance to appear at the trial of Christopher Okigbo and the trial of brother Jero cos things have indeed fallen apart and as a result there is death, death, death!

Death of a salesman, Death and the King's Horsemen, and now Sizwe Bansi is Dead! And they say the gods are not to blame!

Neither the old man and the medal nor the old man and the sea realized that the people of the city are second  class citizens.

There was actually a telephone conversation at the marriage of Anansewa in which Kinjeketile gave birth to the beatification of area boys who ended up on a famished road.

Now there is a second chance to present purple hibiscus to the slave wife to avoid having the still born which could be caused by the arrow of God.

 Weep not child cos you had great expectations but now things are no longer at ease. 

Just bid farewell to arms until we meet at heaven’s gate.
