Night Of The Living JUNKIES (a night out with friends) by Ajayi Dotun

I’m letting you guys into a little secret. Its not a secret that 71% of vibrant Nigerian youths deal in controlled substances (Drugs) and its also not a secret that Jakande Estate Oke – Afa boys are junkies hmm hmm!! Let’s leave that like that. Well I’m a jakande estate boy and I happen to have junkies as friends.

So there was thiş particular night. It was a Sunday night actually. Nothing happened in the day because it was such a boring Sunday afternoon. On that very night. My crew including myself got together and we decided to get ‘high’. Sam actually was the one with the reefer. We both decided to get a location. The rest of the crew went to get one or two things. On getting to our location. We hopped into a free and well parked tricycle (KEKE NAPEP). Sam rolled up and we got a spark from the neighboring Abokis.
We got into the tricycle again but thiş time, it was with the rest of the crew. We’ve got PIRO,PILON,YANKEE BOY,MAYANZY,SAM,IK and myself on that very day. Well its not all of us though but that's the majority.

We rolled up. Lighted up and started passing round. The instruction was dat everyone should take the drags each and pass on to the next person. We did as instructed. We also took gulps of CWAY milk mixed with Tutolin. I guess I don’t have to explain what that is. We started catching our trips almost immediately.

So the word ‘JUNKY’ came out and we talked about being junkies. Then someone asked for the meaning of Junky. Each and every one of us gave our opinions on what it means. Someone said it is being ADDICTED. Someone also said it is being unable to control yoΰя want for something. Still the same with addiction. I also gave my opinion and I said it is an OBSESSION then I left them there.
Apparently! Me being the inquisitive type, I took to google and typed the word JUNKY or JUNKIES. The search result gave me the meaning it says thus “a person that cannot control his/her want for controlled substances". I went on looking at other leads then I stumbled on where the word JUNKY originated from.

JUNKY is actually a 1953 Novel written by William S. Borroughs. The Novel is a Semi autobiography. The author talked about how he used to Бe a Junkie. He sold drugs like cocaine, Morphine, Heroine, Nicotine and cannabis (reefer). He also talked about how these drugs can affect ones life.

My dear Peeps! Pls don’t Бe a junkie. It might really Бe dangerous to our health. Let’s endeavor to get high with caution. Lool! Just saying!

Who Says There Are No Pervs In Church?

Dear OTTH readers, how are we? I spent my weekend resting and going through dorisaniunoh.blogspot.com, you know as a writer, one shouldn't depend on themselves, so every now and then, I go through other blogs because not only do I learn a lot from them, they also inspire me to write something. I love reading from Doris' blog because like me, she writes real life stuff, something I could actually relate to not how Davido got robbed and the likes. I've been meaning to write about this in a while but procrastination won't let me but today I have bound the spirit hence here it is. I'm certain we all know who a perv is but just incase we don't, perv is the shortform for the word "pervert" and it refers to someone who's sexually obsessed according to Google and that's about what it means so I guess we all get the picture and we'd understand better as we proceed. I've always thought pastors would at least act like pastors no matter the tempt...

Love With Blood?

Dear OTTH readers, I hope we're good because I'm very fine. You know me and the things that bother me, lol. The other day, I was discussing with Anuli (CEO, Iluna photography)  about how I think it's abnormal to have sexual relations with any member of ones family and she made a point by saying that it's a norm in some places #onemansmeat...you know the drill but that it doesn't make it right. I understand that people crush on their cousins and all and I also understand that my culture might be a taboo someplace else but haba! Why would you have sexual relations with your family member? I used to think it was always sexual abuse when things like that happen but I've found out that people actually do it with pride and talk about it without shame. I remember someone telling me how he makes out with his cousin and he loves her so much and I'm like gfhdsshgk? Over the years, I've heard and I still hear of different cases of incest and it was beginning t...

Mirabel's Dairy

My name is Mirabel Blakewood, I'm 20 years old. My parents died when I was 6 in a car accident on the 25th of July, 2001 and I've been living with Maternal Grandmother until she also passed away when I was 15. I still stay at my Grandmother's till date. I'm quite tall, I have brown eyes just like my Dad's. I remember it when he used to read me bedtime stories, I would stare deep into his eyes till I fell asleep. I keep a small circle of friends - Jeff, Sarah, Lionel and Amy. We've been friends since we were kids. They've been my family too. My Grandmother was a very quiet woman, she was a woman of noble mien. She had no friends and she barely spoke to anyone. She would say hello to few people after the service on Sunday then be back to her normal withdrawn self. There was something my Grandma passed on to me, it's called the Peth spirit. It was passed on to her by her mother when she was dying but my Mum didn't live long enough for it to b...
