Reign of Shadows: A Tale of Corruption and Injustice
A Poetic Reflection on Nigeria's Struggle with Power and Greed
In the land of the corrupt and poor,
Where vagrancy and injustice precede,
Thieves and murderers reign supreme.
With deceit, they stole,
In distrust, they appointed—
Two kings, two chairmen, two ministers of God.
In the land of the unjust and greedy,
Only evil reigns.

The Devil's Cut
“Comrade, finally you’re awake.” The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.
