NaijEnglish NamesThere is...
Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday and Friday and Sat...
Yes, all days of the week.
And though all are words that are taken from English
Few sound quite the same in Nigerian-speak

Like Patience and Grace, Gift and Harmony
These names are by turns stretched at length or made swift
And none can ignore, the abject hilarity
When letters are dropped or replaced tongue in cheek

As Feter and Faul, for Peter and Paul
Have made laughter rain for many a decade
No different from 'eren, or 'ahrold, or 'ope
A meddling with "Heich", some invariably make

To call into question, correct pronunciation
Is indeed to make a grievous miNaijEnglish Names by *Mabogunje

[Bloodlust] The Hypotheses : 17Once the hawker had returned with the area boys, Nike handed him an extra N100 in addition to her change, which she gave back. On seeing the exchange, the five area boys he had brought, began to get excited.

Until He ComesThe second coming
Is not a warning
Something foreboding
To dwell upon

Until His coming
Shall we be waiting?
Anticipating?
Our Lord's return!?

Our task is given!
It has been written!
We have a mission!
That must be done!

To shine our light
Make the world bright
Present this sight
As his welcome

For when Christ cometh
Though no man knoweth
In faith we soweth
We faithful ones

Think not of when
Think not of where
We must prepare

You're WonderfulWhen I feel your soul, in your poise
When I hear your mind, in your voice
When I see your heart, in your eyes
I am happy

When I know your wants, without words
When I meet your needs, without errors
When I strip your dreams, of all terrors
I am fulfilled

When I am myself, and you are you
And your happiness, becomes mine too
Once I close the gap, between us two
I'll be complete

So let me not remain, so sorrowful
Let me not end up, so disgruntled
Lest I shall always lack, this beautiful
amazing thing. You're wonderful!You're Wonderful by *Mabogunje

Spring has sprung!
A simple song

Is the joy of joyous j ^u m ^p i ⁿ g john!

The winter wars
Weather withdraws

For ^birds, and bëës, and breeze, and boars

Oh boy! Be bad!
Oh girl! Get glad!

In the clutch of )clutching lovers( clad

For spring has sprung!
So sing your songs!

This is a novel I've been working on very very v e r y slowly for quite a while now. I'm putting it up here in the hopes that the access to feedback will help speed up my writing process.

Bloodlust is a sci-fi thriller set in Lagos, Nigeria that follows the investigations of a haematologist while on assignment with the W.H.O.

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!

It's been about a month since I wrote a journal entry, and about a week since my last deviation. I haven't been doing much else but enjoying the holidays, hanging out with family, and playing video-games.

I got the playstation move for Christmas and a Playstation plus subscription soon after (along with other wonderful gifts of course), so I'm pretty hung up on video games at the moment. Been playing Infamous 2, Mortal Kombat, Sports Champions, and a bunch of other free games and demos that my subscription gives me access to... Needless to say, I haven't done much writing.

But it's now the new year and as promised, it's time to bundle up those December stamps. I made a total of 10 stamps throughout December (only 2 of which were actually seasonal) and a surprising 5 of which were very popular! (by my low standards anyway). You can find the entire collection here, and below I list for you the top 5.
