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...

Na From Clap, Dance Dey Start

Good morning my loves, welcome to 2016. This is our first post this year so I’m supposed to be very excited but the issue I want to discuss is not one that gives room for such excitement. Of course, I’m excited that you can read this right now, that you came all the way from 2015 into 2016. It wasn’t an easy trip but we’re all here finally. Thank you so much for your love. Now to the business of the day. In a world of women and men, yes I put women first because I’m a woman just in case you were wondering why or maybe you didn’t even notice, the fate of a woman depends on the woman not the man and this is no merlin line. I’m really hurt right now and I’m too hurt to not speak up. I’m not a romantic person for reasons I don’t know but for some reason I’m grateful for it. I’m saying this because I’ve seen what people call love in action and it makes me wonder if it really is love. I’m not going to dispute the fact that I’ve also made my mistakes, I mean, we all have our stupid moments ...

The Hustle Of Many Colors

We are all "hustlers" before we become "chillers" whether we want to admit it or not. Some of us are in the corporate world, some on the streets, some in market places and some are in places I can't name. Some of us are dressed in suits, some in rags, some are dressed casually while some are dressed in clothes I can't even classify under any of the aforementioned categories. When I see people put up pictures saying "Lord bless my hustle" or "Oluwa bless my hustle", I just say 'amen' on behalf of whoever put up the picture. I'm very emotional right now because I've seen hustle at its peak. I remember entering a bus somewhere, I was the only passenger in the bus. The conductor did everything possible to get more passengers but all his efforts proved abortive. The driver then said "sorry aunty, we no dey go, we no see passenger" and I had to go with another bus. I could see the disappointment on his face, I wished...
