Starboy is no more.

Achalle popularly known as star boy passed away early today around 5:30am at the general hospital in Limbe. He lost a 3 year long battle to Liver cancer. Who would have thought? Achalle is synonymous with"Star de Demains" in our minds. For some people its especially because of his English speaking so in some of our hearts he was the torch bearer for more than just music,he was the symbol of change,freedom of some sort and maybe the Anglophones felt he was their voice screaming for a seat at the table.
Achalle was the first winner of the "Stars De Demains" music competition that had us all watching and waiting. He has gone on to win so many accolades since the one thing we could never have understood how it found its way to the shelf is death.
Achalle you are gone too soon.Your beautiful soul you put in your music will live on.Starboy I hope you shine in the darkness and show us how to go. You must be relieved of the pain now and hopefully you,Bebe manga,tom yonce and the others could start up something from the other side. Accapella may be a good place to start. I salute you.

Today I Met a Lady....



I saw a lady today. W her baby under the rain in midgets and cold and if you had to pay her off for the day,5 thousand will be an extra thousands more than her efforts from morning to night. The baby is so innocent he has to feed.he also must be in the farm there is no sitter in her world. Just her two hands and her prayers.A conversation starts off about millions and she will smile and express others riches,there is a look in her eyes of distance,a land she can't reach,a place she  can't get to. Millions to her are in real only in her dreams
But she is smiling she is humbled maybe more by her situation than she will like to be but a girl has to fight,a mother has to come home before sun.she has been standing there for more 3 hours on a lonely road with her constantly interchanging positions one on the other and she is mouthing "abeg". Hoping the next driver is kinder than the one before him/her.
. I met a lady today with a Baby in the rain. I met a possible version of me of you today,i met a reason to be grateful i saw a reason to pray.

My Love(r)





I woke up with a ring size shape on my face on the side of my face just before my ear. I slept on my lovers chest the whole night so I got it. It didn't feel like an engagement...diamond crusted kinda thing. It's a wedding band size. I have never been married but the single people know the sizes and sides better trust me.
But I can't leave him u won't leave him. There is something about being alone,that I don't like in the closet of my life of my love.i don't have a lot of love to give so I can only be a contributor in a love triangle I can't be the equal partner. The wife may be mad. But I hope she understands that if he can take it off for me and put it on for her then im the one he has to pretend for.
I woke up with a ring size print on my face. It's not my ring I touched it. It felt like my truth,my reality and the circumference of my love.
