by Adeboro Odunlami I’m sitting at the corner of my bed in the school hostel typing away on my laptop when she comes into my room. I look up for just a second and continue typing but I’m wondering why she is in my room. All my 3 roommates got selected for some International Moot... Read More

Adeboro Odunlami: I was used [NEW VOICES]

by Adeboro Odunlami My younger brother’s excitement was infectious as he handed over the printout from DealDey. It was a N500 ticket for a stage play: The Trials Of Brother Jero.

Adeboro Odunlami: Surety, you’re joking [NEW VOICES]

It was really a laughable matter but neither of us was laughing. I was staring at the slightly irritated face of the Divisional Police Officer sitting behind his desk. His hands were clasped tightly on the table as though he was literally holding firm to his resolve. From outside the window of his office, I... Read More

Adeboro Odunlami: With a lot more exclamation marks [NEW VOICES]

My mom is a worrier. Before I was conceived, she worried that I would never come. And when I did, she overtly searched out scary tales of painful childbirth and feasted on them, worrying that our story would be indexed in the pile as well. My mom said I was born on a heavily rainy... Read More
