Smiling All The Way

Philip Ebuluofor

Funny how mechanic people made it too difficult for us to know easily the difference between them and mad people over here. Since every junkie is a mechanic and mad people are allowed to roam about. So are choir people and graduates. Hard to tell who is who here too. The only difference is the military people who out of vanity have refused the youths to wear camouflage even the trending ones all over the other nations. They don't want that here. They see that profession as something else its purpose isn't only to defend the nation ...

Fate Of All

Philip Ebuluofor

They gathered over the twisting and jerking body and everyone was talking at the same time and no one was talking at the same time. They were worrying about saving the body that has nothing inside any more only reserves strength that is ebbing at light speed. Mrs. Eke sat where she was watching them and their commotion and confusions. Humans can be easily worked up and disturbed. Easily deceived and confused too.     “Was I that weak while with them?” she asked herself. At eighty-seven, that is the age she was eleven ...

Local Diggers

Philip Ebuluofor

It was the size of a football pitch three years ago now it’s the size of two and a quarter. The rate it has encroached is Alarming to Mr. John Ikeje. He returned from his base in London as he always does after every four years with his family. He kept walking and measuring the landscape in his mind sure he might be off the mark by far. He is sure it was even about three standard soccer pitches already. He shivered and hoped he was wrong. When he was a young boy growing up in this town of Umudim, this very desert he was walking in was a littl...

Basket Full Of Selfish Intentions

Philip Ebuluofor

I saw him from my working position shuffle into their outer office from their meeting room fuming. Certainly, Officer Jao has issues with someone or some points he did not agree with in the meeting and abandoned it in anger. Having an Issue isn't enough reason to abandon the meeting. It is against the regulations of the meeting and good manners, but not with this bulky guy. He was still fuming and I, like other inmates usually enjoy any scene with any mean officer in it as sad as the face we saw from the gleaming window for we see ...

Firewood VS searchlight

Philip Ebuluofor

The thunder was rumbling like mad, cracking with an atom of fire as if some kind of cosmic war was happening somewhere in heaven. It must have been how it was on that faithful rebellious day up there. Unfortunately, no human was around to witness the wonders. Flashes were flying here and there at the rate Ugoo, the apprentice stoking the fire in the kitchen was wondering if it was what his master was muttering in the parlor at work or if the rate he was adding firewood in the fire was at work. He had been with his master Mr. Chika Iyi n...

Hibernation Years

Philip Ebuluofor

He came with his parents that rainy evening to the village to see Mazi Obi. They wanted their son out of that village to big city to learn his way in the world like others of his age group. Mazi didn’t know them but they knew him. “good evening sir” Kenneth their son greeted him. After the pleasantries and offering of soft drinks as kolas, a requirement by culture seems not to be evolving into modern shit as other elements of culture have done.    “So chief, you said you came from the neighboring village under this rain...

Acrimonious Penetration

Philip Ebuluofor

The odor wafted towards their table where they had taken position at the back corner of the shop. Almost all the noses on the table reacted naturally to it. It certainly had that power over their noses, their willpower, and what they were discussing. It made almost all the heads there turn towards the direction it came. The girls at the counter who have gotten used to their occasional presence and seem to know when they are coming for their meetings and set the table for them at the tail end of the shop smiled at their reaction, gazing an...

Hybrid Reality Show

Philip Ebuluofor

 That Monday morning, the weather in Nkpor city was spunky, so bright and smiling. The self-acclaimed guru, just like all others before him, They always reason in one direction. When he was entering the ‘Reward' race contest, the Nigerian version of America got talents contest, he came with claims of having spiritual powers and abilities that only he can attest to. Like all the nonsense fellows in that realm with that kind of trait, they rate as talent and gift from above not below or beneath but above. I suspect, to hide their monstrou...

Freebies

They gathered at the dining table at the summon of their parents Mr. and Mrs. Clifford ukoh. Who kept wondering how it’s always then that calls for the meeting of this kind each term. John and Alice the two in junior secondary school living in the dormitory seems to have one thing in common as far as first day in school is concerned. They don’t want to see the school gate at least three days after resumption date. They always have this line: “Things set well in the school after five days of resumption” excuses. “They are still cleaning thing...

They sat in that same rectangular table they had sat on six months ago while hatching the plot. Mr. Minister of education Adewale Osinba, The head of West African Examination Council in Nigeria(WAEC) Mrs. Nkala, and her Nigerian deputy Mr. Mohamed Isiaku.

For the seventh year running now, the best secondary school Western Examination council (WAEC) results have all come fro...

Professor On Run

Philip Ebuluofor

She sat observing him for any sign of what he had told her he suffers from and the main reason he came calling that late rainy evening without seeing any. He said he suffers from narcolepsy, narcotic-tipsy, or some word that sounds that way. No sign of weary tired eyes, no blinking eyes. He dressed like a gentle man which helps in settling nerves but his words are yet to manifest to validate his attire. So, the woman Sarah had remained alert.  When they are in good health like that and dress the way he did, in a city and tribe 90 percen...

Pay Back Time

Philip Ebuluofor

They gathered in the room there with anger written all over their faces that drips venom just like their words. The leaders of about three tribes. They couldn’t understand why a tribe that is the tinniest of unions that made up that entity should be the one objecting to their agreements. This is the third time they are meeting in secret, knowing fully well that their meetings are illegal and that what brought them together is, an illegal objective too. “We have gathered again as before and we must not vacate this room without reaching a ...
