For Our Fathers : My Daddy Said

                                      By @omotookelonge ‘Dami Dami, it’s very simple, two times two is four, when you put two in two places, you get four… it’s not I want to baff, it’s I want to take my bath… What is the plural of goose and what is the past participle of give?’ I’ll always get a rewarding,…

For Our Fathers : You’re Not My Father

                                       By @JXBZVS Our people say that when the child of the deaf man buys his father a radio, he is fixing to hear the story of how he was born.

For Our Fathers : Chasing His Dream

                                  By @blessedmouth   I knew a man once, a father of 4 kids. I still know him, because I talk to him often. He was a man that  amazed me in many ways. Yet in one spectacular way, because of his background, he was a wonder. He was a man who loved books, cherished…

I turn my head slightly to the left and my eyes…

For Our Fathers : The Way Here

                                By @0Toxic I watch Ayomide sleep and can’t but wonder “How close am I to the real thing?” Does the child see me and think “Farce”? Am I good enough? The road to get here was murky, thorny and stony all at once. Before I found myself here, it was easy to look…

For Our Fathers: Papa Laughed

                                      By @O_tega Papa never laughed. Even Sisi could not remember if Papa ever laughed. But Madam Hatchet, the old lady that has the salon where Papa takes me to get my hair cut said Papa used to laugh once; a long time ago, but he stopped laughing again because there were not so much…

For Our Fathers : The Man I Called “Dad”

I decided not to write an intro for each piece as I normally do, but this one is special, (all the posts are special but stay with me). It was written by my aunt in honor of her father, my grandfather. He was a great man. One of the reasons I am who I am…
