It's one of those somethings that have just been a little obvious since day one: that Jude belonged to Juno and Juno belonged to Jude. It didn't matter that the people around them constantly acted like pawns vying for either one of their attentions. Or that Jude's ideal way of showing he felt so strongly about Juno was not one she agreed with. It didn't even matter that where Jude was all chatty, outgoing and problematic to a fault, Juno was more reserved, timid and respectful. And it certainly didn't matter that since they met on their first day in junior school, they've been some sort of academic rivals, always fighting each other for first place or being forced to share it. No. It was just that something you glimpsed and then turned back to view and saw clear as day: that the Head Prefects, no matter how stubborn they were, how immature and childish and hurtful they were towards one another, there was just that for them. One another. ⋆˚꩜｡ Hephzibah ⋆˚꩜｡

I was in Ijoko visiting my parents when Nigeria stopped working. Not with a bang. Not with a war. Just - one Tuesday, three trucks, a loudspeaker announcement, and suddenly there are men with guns on every street collecting levies and writing your name in a book. I was supposed to go back to Lagos on Monday. That was eight months ago. Now I don't leave the compound without greeting the man across the road first. Now my father is still preaching to eleven people in Agbado and won't stop no matter what. Now Simi from three streets down paid a price nobody is going to talk about out loud. Now there is a video on my phone that could get my whole family killed. Nigeria didn't fall. It just changed management. AFTER THURSDAY is a story about what happens to ordinary Nigerians - not soldiers, not politicians, not heroes - when the country they already knew was broken finally breaks completely.

Because love feels like standing on the edge of a cliff. Beautiful. Dangerous. One wrong step and you fall. *Can she let someone in before her fear ruins the only good thing she has?* > _"Maybe the saddest thing about love is not rejection. > Maybe it's meeting someone good while your heart is too damaged to believe in them."_
