Let The War Begin!
Baraka's words before he left the farmhouse that night were more of a prophecy, what came after then was termed the Reshuffling wars. The family leaders found out what we had planned for them before I and my brothers even returned to Harmony City. Nothing stayed secret for long in these streets, all the talk about loyalty and brotherhood was just bullshit. I recognized that fact in the early days. Betrayal is a part of the game, you should expect it, even from the ones closest to you. Being too trusting would get you killed quickly.
Baraka reached out to everybody that was at the meeting in the desert, but only Maleek Kose showed up with him to the meeting. Kaz chose Giwa's grove as the meeting place. We had a family fishing cabin there, nobody would come looking.
"Where the hell is the rest of the team?" I asked, disappointedly.
"Look, kid..."Maleek started to talk but I interrupted him halfway.
"You will not call me that, Maleek," I said in a low tone.<

Street Diaries Rot
Rot, rust, decay, decomposition, corruption. These words mean a lot, in a society where nothing works for the common man, but everything works for the men at the top. A society where the men who make the laws are the first to break them, a society where honesty is so scarce, men tend to rot in their core which in turn leads to the whole society and everything in it rotting, crumbling, decaying, withering, worsening, deteriorating, and descending back to their basic and cruel nature, survival of the fittest. The futile race to get to the top where things work would be so important that they would not mind who gets hurt in the process.The car halted but I sat quietly in the back seat. I was back in downtown right where Chuks brought me to get the suits we wore to Mr. Sarumky's party. It was just some months ago and a lot had happened after that day. I found myself in a position I never thought I would be in years to come, I had not been to school since that day, and I missed m
Street Diaries Brothers for Life.
I needed to see Mikey, so I told Chuks to drive over to my school at Taiwo Avenue. The cabin was starting to kill me, it was empty and Kaz and his guys did not return. I kept thinking about how to do what I had to do throughout the night, rolling in my not-so-comfortable bed. The man was a corrupt politician, he was responsible for the misery of a lot of people. I said all these things in my mind to justify what I was about to do, it never really got old, trying to rationalize taking a person's life, no matter how much they deserved it. For someone who committed a lot of murders in his life, I really could not get past the guilt, it's a sort of punishment I placed upon myself. After a while, I started to lose count of numbers and names although their faces never really escaped my memory. I decided to start writing down names in a diary, yes it was stupid but the other thing I would have done was tattoo the names on my body as Chuks did. I'm sure you agree that the latter was better.
Street Diaries Making Soup
Humans... We leave a lot behind, even when we are long gone and forgotten. Graves, dried skin and flesh, bones, teeth and hair, all these would be evidence of our existence and they would tell a story of how we met our tragic ends. Taking of body temperature to determine time of death, checking for fingerprints and shit to determine killer's identity, even as ill equipped and trained the police was, they really become a real problem when they decide to work. I was not even going to give them the chance to do all that, so the body had to go. I had to make sure the news of her death be about unknown gunmen attacking her and she vanishing without a trace. It was a common thing, nobody would even be surprised, given the line of work that the madame was into.We had just murdered a well known person in society and questions would be asked. Luckily for us, I paid attention in chemistry classes and did some extra researches on my own. The answer to our problem was a mixture of sodiu
Street Diaries Murder in the City.
It's a very thin line between life and death. Death...the only thing that really unites us all, the only thing that every single one of us is eventually going to have in common. And It doesn't matter if you're the richest or the poorest, death is going to come for you one day.My grandmother used to say, "Everyone's time of death has already been predestined and signed by God, and nothing can change it." And as young as I was back then, I wondered what if I decided to kill a man, would I be doing what God had already predestined or would I be trying to change the man's time of death? My grandmother's answer to the question would always be, "Even if you plan a man's death if you succeed it would be because it was his time." So, as I planned the senator's death, it gave me a kind of weird comfort that if I succeeded, it would be because God himself wanted the man dead, but I was never going to fail.Madame Rahma's lawyer wasted no time in switching sides. He helped

Street Diaries Unknown Gunmen.
The news of the senator hit the media, it was everywhere. The television, the radio, newspapers, and it was blowing up on the fucking internet. What blew up more than the news of his death was the fact that he was shot while having sex with a nineteen-year-old. The poor girl was unfortunate to be the old man's girlfriend that night, the moment we decided to get the senator at her house was also when I decided that I would have to kill her, but when I heard how young she was, I felt bad for her in a way. "Senator Abu Sani shot dead by unknown gunmen." Unknown gunmen, a term used by both the police and the media when they have absolutely no clue about a crime that involves people getting shot. I knew a lot of people back in the day that got shot, and when you use the term, "shot by unknown gunmen," it meant the case was not going to get solved or taken seriously. But Abu Sani was a politician, of course, they were going to try harder to make the unknown gunmen known this time.
Street Diaries A not very Happy Birthday.
Early in my life, I found myself always falling behind. It is only those who know how it feels to be at the bottom of the chain, and how demeaning it could be in a country like mine that would be able to do the things required to get to the top. The fear of never returning to the bottom, to never fall from grace to grass...that is the biggest motivation that anybody can ever get.I grew up watching my parents struggle without any fucking thing to show for it. They were never lazy, but the system kept them down, it made them handicapped so that whatever they did, they would remain in that station allotted to them by those in charge. The rich got richer everyday and survival got harder for those at the bottom. I never met anyone more honest than my mother, but when you're as honest as she was in a world filled with corrupt, and dishonest folk, life becomes very difficult.My father did all he could to get himself ahead in life, he did everything legally possible bu
Street Diaries The New Council
Samson getting shot got to me and I made a scene at the party. I was just getting used to losing people but Kaz managed to turn it all around. Nothing like a swear of vengeance on those who killed Samson and a pour of liquor on the ground to get everyone back to the partying mood. Soon Baraka and some of his bikers joined us at the hotel and the party got started, Chris Achebe also sent a representative, he could not come in person. The other two members of the new council also came too. James Akin of the Akin family, and the dreaded Maleek Kose.I had to fake smiles and make happy faces just to keep up appearances. When you deal with people who would turn against you the moment you show the slightest sign of not knowing what you were doing, it is best to not give them a reason. All of them were not there because of any respect they had for me, they simply were present because of what they stood to gain and most especially the fear of the Alhaj who put me in charg
