I now pronounce you husband and wife.

ByMoyo Okediji

‘I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now remove your corona masks and kiss.”

It must be so hard to be a dater now, with your libido on fire.

How are these young folks expected to cope now, in the era of corona?

Or are we now all reduced to just online dating, exchanging emojis and gifs?

And when you find a perfect partner online, how do you meet to nurture your romance? You are actually going to hug….and kiss a stranger!!!!

You better just exchange selfies and forget it–says your doctor.

Self-isolate, my friend.

Today, On My 64th Birthday Anniversary

ByMoyo Okediji

On my 64th birthday anniversary, I celebrate my mother, the one person most responsible for who I am today.

She does not even know the date of her birth.

But she keeps mine so close to heart.

My father, Oladejo Okediji, is the known one. He is the famous author, who wrote novels, plays, poems, and essays. When he passed last year at 90, nobody even mentioned my mother once, as they poured deserved eulogies on him.

Iya Oyo

ByMoyo Okediji

Iya Oyo took a slow and long drag on her pipe, and released the smoke in short puffing sounds.The moon was orange bright, a perfect golden disk floating on the clouds.Some insects, hiding behind the darkness, sang in harmony with the frogs serenading the stars from the pond next to the Orisa house.It was the perfect time for me to ask my question: nobody was saying anything.

ON CONFUSION

ByMoyo Okediji

John McArthur, the internationally renowned evangelist, is quoted as observing that “It is confusing to watch people demand justice by violating the law.”

What is even more confusing is to watch the law perpetuate injustice.

And infinitely most perplexing is to watch the officers of the law flout legal procedures and violate human rights with impunity.

This is why SARS provoked such hostile reception from the Nigerian community that it was meant to serve.

It is most confusing to watch Nigerian politicians loot the funds meant for the entire nation.

It is confusing to see the police refuse to prosecute them.

SIMPLE QUESTIONS?

ByMoyo Okediji

When I arrived in the United States thirty years ago, I couldn’t call the US a new land.

It might be new to me, but it was not new to those who were born there.

But if the history of the United States were written by me, I would call the United States, “new land.”

That has been the experience of peoples in Africa.
