About the book

Imagine spending two months in the same room with: Dummy dammy, hustler Nathaniel, breakup artist Tolu, arguer Mofe, Imam Ismael and Mr perfect Franklin.
 
Qua-me-tine is a comic story about how these six black students spent the two month lockdown in kharkov, Ukraine.

Searching for dates online, musing on lame startups and arguing. What more can I say? Just read and laugh.

Twill all be gone

tmight be pretty awful to sit awful to sit home all day, looking at the responsibilities that looms and the limited sources to tackle it. 

everyone might be so glumed, cursing and dejected... this ain't the end of the world; better things are on the way; let us just stay put with God and be ready for the opportunities he'd pour our way

we all shall smile again and would talk about this depression on a rollercoaster of joy and unimaginable ecstasy

WHAT MOTIVATES YOU

We have beautiful dreams,
So we seek a push.
We have an ideal personality
So we need a leader

Some have learnt how to push 'emselves
Some seek external forces push em
Some seek the supernatural push em
Some have mastered the rudiment of self believe

In your quest to find motivation
Never leave your dreams unfulfilled.
In your quest  to fulfil dreams
Never lose sight of goodliness.

AFTER THE LOCKDOWN

Happiness would be defined, 
Not based on material acquisitions
But internal disposition.

Folks would realise,
Being happy is a daily choice
A choice to remain calm and hopeful
Even when trouble looms

Folks would let chunks of dreams go,
Cos they spent enough time with themselves
To realise what truly matter to them.



BODY I DESIRE, CHARACTER I LOVE.

Swiping left and right till we be matched
Checking the bio to discern the match.
It all starts with hello and oh, she's not the one
Then we go on swiping.

Headed for the streets to find the one,
Checking her features to see our desires
Then it starts with hello and then, I don't really like her personality

Headed for the club when we feel so bored,
Looking for the night's thing
The desires satisfied, but the soul is empty

Don't be an egomaniacal narcissist
Sometimes, the person you want might not be in the body you desire.
It's not all about getting all your desires in life
It's about having a teammate, with whom you fulfil a purpose on earth.

Don't live to always get,
Live to give
In it, you'll have more pleasure than you've ever desired

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SALVATION

Just as the world left its habitation
To feast on the scrumbs of perversion
The beings of the heavenlies were dismayed at the choice. 

Though He made us in his image
To think and act like him
But we went off to wander with self
And left void the hollow of sonship's billows. 

The man of God has to come forth
And feed us with the milk of the word
And to make the world fun
With the light of His word and the blood from His love

When we came to end of self
Grace showed up,
So that if we be wise,
We'd follow the ways of the Father.

Happy Easter people

WHERE MY TREASURES AT?

The earth is beautiful and Rich
Its treasures can feed the world for a zillion years
Its creative potential is endless
And its power to ruin and corrupt is huge.

Fathers build wealth, children sustains
Just like an endless cycle, we keep moving.
Searching, creating, inventing; twill never end.
What we call huge, would be starter for the next generation.

All that be under the sun is vague and meaningless; just as a wise man once said
Why stock up vague substance?
Why kill for vanity?

Earth's main treasure is human
Make the world a better place by investing in them.
Though they be stupid, wicked, braggarts and more
But, that doesn't hide their beauty and efficacy

As you grow and flow
Invest in humanity
In that, you'll be wealthy and happy
And stocked up an everlasting treasure

Chryss.
