Debbietiyan:
No. Why?

oh yeah its just one funny book and it touched this inspiration stuff we talking 'bout.
there was a writer in the story who likes to use drugs for inspiration till there was a shortage of drugs in town...
lolz its one funny book.... guess u will like it but I cant remember who wrote it now

Debbietiyan:
Thank you o jare. I think I prefer the original size of my brain.

To be honest though, I believe relying on substances to draw inspiration diminishes your self-worth as an artistic person...be you an artist or a writer. Being capable to create (write or draw) only when on 'substance'...ultimately leads to addiction, whether you admit it or not. And what happens when you can't get your quick fix is that you ultimately feel you aren't good enough. Which is wrong.

very well said....
Did you read this book, Aspen?

Politicians count so much in the society because politics is a game of numbers.

Debbietiyan:
Speaking of 'ginger,' a friend adviced that I take weed for inspiration ...please those of 'us' that do take before penning down, how does it work out? I'm really curious.

Well..... weed is not bad but after sometime you may become dependent and attached to it ( not addictive tho).
Smoking weed shrinks the brain, thats the worst downside of it that I know of sha.....
and when the brain shrinks you know what may happen.....
Visiting new places and seeing new faces can inspire anybody I think

do not mind that I omitted the marks (ami) its not just available on my device, hence why I made the story short.
I must say I was compelled to write this as I noticed that all the stories on this section are always in English.... we shouldnt neglect our mothertongues as well as the coming genearations will soon find it difficult to relate in their natural language soo of this trend continues..... Tiwantiwa...

PS
how can I put appropriate marks on the letters, somebody tell me, so that I can make the sequel more inviting and easy to read for readers

most people don't like to read Yoruba tho maybe because of the spellings and the marks (ami) but writing in English self na wahala o....
I remember I once wrote YORUBA in JAMB .
I was the only candidate that wrote Yoruba in the state I think and the officials were even laughing about it.... they just left me in one corner with my palaver.....
It actually helped to boost my marks

Pls encourage literature in our native tongues..... dont let the English language invade every sphere of our being and existence....

I started out writing to amuse myself too. I was my own greatest fan. I wrote stories I love. Then English teachers in my secondary school started saying I had a very vivid imagination, so I decided to take the writing a little more serious.

I doff my hat.
Your imagination is very vivid o...
hmmmm am writing a short story in Yoruba presently..... do you read Yoruba....
if you do, you can tell me what you think

The Masons disagreed among themselves but surprisingly they mend fences almost immediately.

They put the dead man in the trunk. Someone whistled to the dog and then they struggled to put it in the vehicle as it wasnt leashed. It wanted to sniff around or maybe piss. Whatever. It started wailing. Corporal Wale was easing himself on one of the landcruisers rear wheels as the scene unfolds. He was whistling too. They eventually got the dog in and the window was wind down. The cop carrying a camera asked the other two what the time was. It was the bespectacled Inspector that answered. "Almost noon".
He didnt check his watch.
"Oga no time". The Camera cop replied.
The bespectacled cop nodded and whistled towards Kamal.
" Hey Guard! Whats your time? "
"I dont wear a watch but the last time I checked it was around ten"- Kamal
"Did you have somewhere to go or a call to make?" - The inspector.
"When?"
"When you checked your watch?"The Inspector said and gesticulated accordingly.
"It was a clock. I dont wear a watch. And my agenda is my business. Inspector......Rutherford?" Kamal was looking at the name tag on his breast pockect and wondered what an awkward noun it was.
"My pleasure, So I heard you called the cops this morning, you heard a noise and saw a girl leave, well I picked this up around the gutter there"- The inspector was saying and pointed to the direction after removing a wristwatch from his pocket which he now dangled before Kamal.
Kamal was emotionless.
The Inspector continued "Ofcourse you can see its a golden wristwatch but its broken too. Stopped on some few minutes past ten. I guess this morning. Around the time you were checking your time."....
" Yeah yeah yeah. I was checking my clock around then which means I was inside. I didnt see anybody drop a thing. About why I called earlier. The Inspector who came earlier said you guys will come and take my statement. You can cut the chase and lets get down to that ok?" Kamal Interrupted and looked straight in the Inspectors eyes.
The inspector must be fresh out of the Academy. Kamal thought. Lucky guy. Cadet Inspector. He couldn't be more than thirty two.....
"Hmmmm. I like to see your clock" The inspector said as he pocketed the gold watch.
"No problem, I will just have to search you first".....
The Inspector laughed heartily but just then a convertible entered the street and was gunning heavily down the street. There was a driver and a passenger. The passenger was carrying an automatic rifle and was operating it furiously. He fired the landcruiser so much that as the slugs entered it, it sounded like rain on zinc. The dog yelped and jumped through the window then it hustled down the street towards the guerilla garden. The camera cop wasnt too lucky and one of the other two cops. They fell instantly. Corporal wale fell in the drainage as he tried to get something from his seat. The third cop fled after the dog. He was shouting "my head, my mothers head..... my head"....


Kamal unslung his rifle and prostrated very quickly as the inspector too crouched and unslung his pistol. A semi automatic.
Kamal cocked and opened fire briskly. He got the rear wheel of the convertible at once, he shot the engine too. It exploded but the car had already stopped then and the occupants crouched behind it.

Inspector Rutherford rolled into the drainage and took cover just behind the culvert. Kamal fired under the vehicle as the inspector was trying to flank the attackers.....
They were engaged and returning fire for fire. The driver was firing a revolver. When he fired eight shots he was out of ammunition but the guy with the Kalash Nikov kept firing but the way he fires implies that he wasnt trained or he was just non challant.... he will exhaust his ammo too soon.... Kamal thought and fired his gun miserly.... he was a good shot.

He hnew he wasnt in the gunmans range so he was trying to rouse the attackers from behind their cover and take a perfect snipe when they rise to flee.
They couldnt possibly leave in the convertible now.
When they rose to flee, he shot one in the occipult. Rutherford got the other in the spine....
Corporal Wale was dead.

As Kamal was handling his rifle and asking the inspector if he was ok the third cop was returning. The inspector took aim at him and shot him thrice while walking towards him to make sure he was dead before Kamal realised what was happening he had turned to face him.

"Drop your weapon" Rutherford shouted.
Kamal hesitated then said "Well why not shoot me right away. So I cant say anything. I dont have to drop my weapon. You already got me. Just do it but let me die holding steel."
"Look this is not about you and I wasnt going to shoot you so dont shoot me ok. Those guys....... He pointed to the dead cops. " They werent police but they work for Nigerian Police. Dont mind the uniform.

"The dog?" Kamal asked after some tense seconds.
"Not police. It belongs to a victim"
"What victim?"
Rutherford didnt answer the question.
"Lets get out of here now"

"No, am calling my office, moreso you should radio it in to your office.... Do I have to teach you your job? You shot two men. One was your buddy. One was a suspect. And you dont have to shoot me? Well I expect those guys with the armour tank at the junction should be here about now. Are you gonna shoot them too?" Kamal lamented.

"They won't come. They are Anti terrorists. I am from Relations. They know why this is happening and they won't interfere....."
Rutherford was saying as he hosltered his gun after he had reloaded it. Kamal pointed his rifle to him but he didnt seem to mind.
He was so sure of himself.

"Why do you want me to run then. The last I know, you were here on an investgation. Your cronies are dead. Ok. Occupational hazard. Then why dont you stay on the job as this seems part of your investigation? Why do you wanna run if nobody is coming? Put up your hands. Or I gun you down".

" Dont be funny, you know.... why we have to run now is because we have to find the victim, that is the one who owns this wristwatch. He patted his pocket. Moreso because you are public enemy now. You have seen more than what you to.... Look come with me its your only chance to see the sunset I swear.... "

"What victim? I only saw you kill an armed suspect and murdered a "cop" or your mechanic, whatever you call him, you are the fugitive here. I will turn you in."

"Listen. Listen, the girl you saw this morning. She owns this watch.... And that dog.... (The dog was limping towards them. There was blood on its left paw).... and this car." Rutherford pointed to the convertible....

The dogs were surely communicating. The bespectacled cop stopped by the landcruiser and was talking with Corporal Wale in silent tones. He seemed to be passing instructions.
Kamal watched with the corner of his eye. He had made a mental note not to approach them until he was required to do so. He wasnt even a witness to the actual crime. He had only heard a voice which could have even come from anywhere actually. A lawyer ca play that card in court. He knows.
The actual "crime" he witnessed was not reported to the cops, that is the abduction of the girl.
Maybe it wasnt a crime. The abductors maybe law enforcement too. Perhaps DSS or NDLEA. They werent uniformed. They might be detectives. The benz they came and left in had no plates. He sighed.
The evidences he got were in his pocket except the torch which he left inside. He does not think an intruder is still in the neighbourhood anymore as it makes no sense. All this while as he was ruminating he was looking at the sky. The sun was east. A kite was floating lazily. The dogs still barked.

The gate of the crime scene opened. Two cops carried the corpse out, it was wrapped in bedsheet. The one with video camera trailed behind with the dog. Corporal wale alighted and opened the booth they put the corpse in, he was a small man anyway.

The officer was looking at Kamal as this was going on. Then he casually strolled towards him. Kamal kept a straight face and whistled children rhymes. He still carried his gun on his shoulder.
Sergeant Barwa was on the officers heel.

The battered landcruiser returned. It was still driven by the corporal that looked like a dwarf bodybuilder. His pencil and cigarrete stuck in each ear.


Kamal stood in front of his compound. His rifle loaded and slung on his shoulder like a cattle rearer. He was gazing at the vehicle nonchanantly. There were three policemen and a German shepherd in the backseat. A bespectacled officer was riding shotgun.
They all alighted except corporal Wale who was reclining his seat and lighting a cigarette.

The police - men and dog from the backseat merely looked at the guard as they entered the crime scene compound. The dog wasnt restrained. It was quite. Maybe it's mute - he snickered. Or maybe the dumbass cops overfed it. They wore gloves and one was carrying a video camera. Like seriously?.... He almost laughed.

The bespectacled officer stayed on the street and appeared to be surveying the adjacent compounds. Maybe he was searching for CCTV cameras. Kamal mused.

He was wearing a glock 16 in his hip holster and looked professional but uncertain.

Kamal kept his distance and eyes on the officer, occasionally spying the smoking corporal Wale.
The officer looked in the drainage and murmured to himself. He seemed to be measuring a footprint with his.... He picked a cigarrete stub and sniffed it before he pocketed it.
He looked at the utility poles on the street and down towards Kamals compound. That was when he appeared to see him for the first time. He nodded.

He must be myopic. Kamal thought mischievously.
The police dog started barking furiously and one of the policemen was either shouting it down or giving it orders. He heard them called it Sergeant Barwa.
The dogs from next street were barking at the top of their lungs too now if there was ever anything like that.....
It was then that Kamal guessed that they must be Alsatians too. Maybe three or four....

Ok. ok. ok
update loading. I almost forgot to.....

most ardent readers in Nigeria swapped hobbies already....
Anyway I only write what amuses me. Interestingly its not even for fans or readers. I just write to amuse me.
I have always wanted to write a book,
well maybe because John Grisham did. Stephen king did. Am an avid reader tho.
I still have some stories from my Sec sch days that I still read to amuse myself or my friends when they visit.
I like to write what I like just for myself and build a personal/private collection..... am not really into this stuff of writing for the public but I applause those who do.
From what I see, most Nigerian writers dont get money from writing but that's not an excuse.

I just write to amuse myself privately.
Nairaland is a faceless forum yeah but I have this feeling that Chimamanda is here..... dont ask why
