The Hyena's Belly: 06.2009
http://hyenasbelly.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 05, 2009. Amaka rose early on a sunny monday morning, not requiring assistance for the first time in a long time. the furthest thought from her mind was that she would marry that day. and yet, like it or not, that is precisely what would happen. Amaka shook her head, already weary of dealing with those so much younger and more immature than she. to her, chisom was the most foolish person she had ever encountered in all her years on earth, all six of them. At her desk in school, which she sha...

The Hyena's Belly: 04.2009
http://hyenasbelly.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 27, 2009. When a man happily gives his daughter away in marriage, what he's essentially saying is, "i'm cool with the idea of you having sex with my daughter. and possibly knocking her up. godspeed.". This is quite possibly why he cries during the first dance at his child's wedding, watching his new son-in-law caressing his little princess's now-buxom bod with gusto and impunity. Monday, April 13, 2009. Woman scorned, woman burned v. He speaks first. "You came.". Can I see her? She suddenly...

The Hyena's Belly: Study of Pure Emotions
http://hyenasbelly.blogspot.com/2011/10/study-of-pure-emotions.html
Tuesday, October 04, 2011. Study of Pure Emotions. It floats somewhere above the base of the gut, sometimes rising, bobbing, into the throat, where it grows dense and heavy and dark. There are times when you wish it would rise higher, just an inch or two, where it will pop like a geyser and spew heat all over your skin, wetting your skin, releasing you from your skin that is stuck in this place like a poltergeist with nowhere to rest. This is what sadness feels like. That is what rage feels like. Content...

The Hyena's Belly: the chosen one
http://hyenasbelly.blogspot.com/2009/09/chosen-one.html
Sunday, September 27, 2009. We met when i was young. just a child. for my part, there was no attraction: i found his long hair distasteful, and there was a greasiness to his skin that repelled me. but he loved me still with a fortitude that belied his innocence. on the back of his steadfastness, our friendship was formed. and it was perfect. There is more than one way to fall in love. Returning his kiss. and the room - to us - was silent. I said, you can't be serious. I just want to know for sure. I said...

Tuesday, September 21, 2010. How to Speak Nigerian. Nigerians are very good people. And never better than when they are dealing with non-Nigerians. It is more or less common knowledge that a Nigerian will bend over backwards (or in most cases, forwards, holding his ankles and willing his butt cheeks to spread) to please a foreigner in our country, shunning all other culturally acceptable practices and even self-respect in order to fulfill the every wish of this visitor to his fatherland. The African is k...

The Hyena's Belly: love on july the fourth: through a slit in the drywall
http://hyenasbelly.blogspot.com/2009/07/love-on-july-fourth-through-slit-in.html
Sunday, July 05, 2009. Love on july the fourth: through a slit in the drywall. We will wake in poor man's luxury, a soft wind blowing through my subterranean window. on these summer days, i can peer out from underneath it to see the sun, hot and yellow, gleaming off the emerald leaves of the trees. the window's position does not permit those rays to warm me, instead letting in a smooth chill that hovers cozily above my eiderdown quilt. it will do. We play "whose breath smells more like manure? Your blog ...

The Hyena's Belly: Queen of Vagina
http://hyenasbelly.blogspot.com/2010/10/queen-of-vagina.html
Friday, October 29, 2010. I've been in a funky mood for about two weeks. Vinegar is flowing through my veins, I spit fire when I talk. I don't love my friends as much as I did on October 16th. The only person guaranteed to make me smile these days is Majela Zeze Diamond, a.k.a. Queen of Vagina. She is my hero. She doesn't write songs; she writes public service announcements. Did you know that 2 2 is not actually 4 but vagina? Vaja, vaja, vaja, vagina eh-eeh-eh-eh! Does she own a MacBook? And is that pers...

Wednesday, January 28, 2009. What are your favorite African expressions? Tell me on the AfricaLab channel: www.youtube.com/user/africalab. (Look in the sidebar for the link.). More videos there as well - enjoy! Tuesday, January 27, 2009. Woman scorned, woman burned. The worst part of his betrayal is that he was fucking her on my sheets. My brand-new, sultry, white, Egyptian cotton sheets. I haven’t even slept on them yet! Not for the white woman. That PIECE OF SHIT! What’s happening to me? So there they ...
