Our review of @awapointe's, 'A Small Silence' was a delightful experience... We didn't expect to love the book as much we did; it was a literal case of do not judge a book by its cover.
The book received an average rating of 3.7/5👏

I will not clean the poem to impress the tyrant;
I will not bend my verses into the bow of a praise song.
I will put the symbols of murder hidden in high offices
In the centre of my crude lines of accusations.
I will undress our land and expose her wounds.
--Frank Chipasula.

I will leave my shortstory on the agbero problem here: olongoafrica.com/city-wise-or-a…
Abolaji Rasaq@bolazeal
🌶️ The Rise of Agbero (From Bus Conductors to a Cartel) There was a time when being Yoruba meant something. It meant intellect, industry, and innovation. It meant producing great minds in all aspects of life. But today, we witness a slow, deliberate erosion of that legacy.

@awapointe @cremechic11 Lovely long short story. So well written. You captured the agbero-eye view of Lagos. Your sentences have a certain crispness, like smart soldiers corralled into the urgent business of telling a story that needs to be told.

If your itinerary is confirmed
the siren may not be for you
depending on the mood of the city
