The wind in the Trees

“I can't believe this! How could he do this to you?”

 I said in utter indignation and anger.Trying to understand if shola didn’t comprehend the seriousness of the situation she had presented before me. I felt like slapping her senses back into her cute head. I walked over to the mighty flat screen and switched it off; the Nigerian music playing wasn’t making it easy for me to think. Neither was the sunlight coming from the open French windows.

 I took a step back to read her countenance, more of trying to put space between us before that infamous Gemini side takes a hold of me and I "remove person teeth" as the street lingo goes.

“Shola please take a sit and explain to me all over again what you just said”; 

I had to ask again because I was beginning to lose it. My fingers were beginning to twitch on their own as I realize it was difficult for me to breath properly. Not even her tears would stop me from killing Deji tonight. How dare he? what nerve! How can he do something so unimaginable and unbelievable. I was tired of hearing her wailing and pleas. I already know what to do. I go straight to liquor cabinet to pour myself a generous amount of vodka, I felt like smashing the glass on something.

“Ma please I take God beg you, No vex, nah my fault....

“Madam please, E talk sey make I no tell anybody.

 Sey e go dey give me as I want. Madam I take God beg u, no tell my mother”

“What?” I screamed, 

I was almost dizzy from spinning around to take a good look at this ungrateful human being I have being harboring in my house. I took two short steps to get to her and grab her by her blouse pulling her out of her crouching position to stand and face me squarely.

“' u mean you are just disturbed about what your mother will say" shaking her fiercely,

 I pushed her to the ground. I didn't even recognize my voice anymore as I heard a strange laugh leave my mouth. Strangely I became calm. Maybe it was the thought that someone was going to die tonight. My world can't tumble down twice and I stand watching.

 I must do something. I take my car keys and make for the door. Looking back at Shola I shake my head she can barely meet my gaze. I shake my head once more this time my thoughts are as loud as my voice' someone must die tonight.

I get into my white range rover, a gift barely 2 weeks old.

small scale business in Nigeria

Like the saying goes "nobody get's rich working for others". lately, or rather will i say just yesterday. i have been so  obsessed with starting a business. This new obsession stems from a discussion i had with my colleagues that made me realize how much the Nigerian youths are willing to better themselves but are faced with  lack of start up capital or even ideas on what to invest in, if the capital appears miraculously.

A lot of youths are forced to take 8-6 jobs not because they love waking up early or answering yes sir or love being talked down on by some people who believe their intelligence or should i even say "a lack of it" should be revered, which is plain BS. A lot of youths are currently working because they have to put food on their tables, pay bills, even pay for education. In Nigeria there are very few people who have the guts to go after their dreams. so i decided to do a write up today, as i unfortunately fall into the percentage of people working for the aim of paying bills.

I decided to compile a list of business ideas with low start up capital; the trick to starting and sustaining a small business is do what you love the most. so lets see what we can actually start with a small capital



1. Sewing
2. Blogging
3. Farming ( poultry,fish)
4. Cleaning Agency
5. freelance recruitment agency
6. supplying office materials

7. selling clothes and accessories

8. pastries and cakes

9. website and software creation

10. Project and proposal writing

11. Frozen foods shops

12. business center or cybercafe

This is the much i can come up with, if you have more ideas, please share
