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!

My Marriage Story...So Far

I get to be asked about how marriage has been a lot by some of my unmarried friends. I’ve not even been married for long enough to be qualified to answer that question. From my little experience, marriage, like any other phase in life isn’t all smooth. It has its ups and downs. There’s an extra respect you get as soon as you get married. I get to be called MA a lot by people who wouldn’t ordinarily call me that and I’m wondering why. I guess it’s just the way the society has made it. Oh and I lost some friends as soon as I got the MRS title. Some people don’t care about how serious your relationship is, they’d still be on your ‘case’ but as soon as you say “I do”, they’d forget you like you never existed. This was good and bad for me because I considered some to be great friends but then, I guess I was wrong. Then there’s the pressure to get pregnant, I got lucky to get pregnant earlier than I thought though I wasn’t even ready. But before my body began announcing it, I still...

Dunsin's Kitchen - Second Year Anniversary

I’m not a fan of long WhatsApp posts hence the need to write, post and just share the link on one WhatsApp/Instagram post. I’m a bit rusty (writing-wise) sha but I’ll try. I want to talk about how Dunsin’s Kitchen (DK) started because it’s our second anniversary today. I never imagined being a cook at this time, not with banking and family stress. I’ve imagined selling food a couple of times and it was inspired by one boli and beans seller in Asaba during my NYSC in 2014. I told my friend Osaru then that I’d love to start a place like that and call it Boli Kitchen. We just used to laugh about it then plus I’m not really a fan of beans though I could cook it well if I wanted to. Fast forward to 2020, we had a guest- my husband’s colleague who I served jollof rice and she kept talking about how good it was. One day, she said she would love to buy if I could make it for her so I agreed. Then I decided to ask others if they’d like to buy so I wouldn’t be making a small portion and some agr...

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...
