The Liebster Award 2020

Posted on August 8, 2020August 8, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

Kia Martina, who writes at Kia’s Notions, asked some piercing questions. She nominated me to respond to those deep questions. I knew right then, when I saw the tag and read the questions, that I might flout some rules. I had questions of my own too. How honest should I be? How open should my…

To Know or Not to Know

Posted on August 5, 2020August 5, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

There are people who want to know stuff. They stick their hands in a beehive. They study what a sting looks like. They are curious. They ask questions. They poke – not their noses – their brains in affairs that concern them. They sniff for signs. They probe. They value feedback and seek it as…

Celebrate It

Posted on July 29, 2020July 29, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

I like sports. I enjoy watching the celebrations when someone scores a goal, makes a basket, completes a try, hits a hole, races across the finish line.  I like the passion with which people lift their hands, thump chests, raise fists. I like seeing the hugs and kisses, the flying confetti and fireworks, the champagne….

Papa and Food

Posted on July 15, 2020July 15, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

My earliest memory of listening to Papa Wemba takes me to when I was 10. Mum and I sat on a mat outside our house in Arua. The vast compound on which I played football with the kids from the neighbourhood was green with the exception of one spot that was clear. It’s where we…

Bonn Again

Posted on July 8, 2020July 8, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

You live in a city and build a bond with it. You become friends. It is your first cut of a city in this country. You have experiences and build memories together. You know the distinct smell of many of its neighbourhoods. You discover its corners of fun, its secrets, its dark spots, its light…

The One To Meet

Posted on June 17, 2020June 17, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

I showed up every day for last year’s Winter Afrobloggers Challenge. I ran that marathon, mile after mile, stride by stride. I turned at each corner, kept it going, took the straight path, ran up hill. I got to the 21K mark. I was still strong. My mind was focused. When I got to the…

Her Story

Posted on June 10, 2020June 10, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

Afrobloggers, I’m taking a different stride from today’s writing prompt. It’s probably one thing content creators should be open to. Try something off tangent. Twist the rules. Jump off a cliff into the writing waters. Give the reader a few pieces of you that you’re okay letting out. When I read Becoming Vanessa, her experiences…

Favorite Local Food

Posted on June 3, 2020June 3, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

I’m writing this during my lunch break. I’m working from home today. On one side of my table are biscuits with lemon flavored cream fillings. Those will be dessert. I would’ve had yoghurt as a starter but that would fill me up. To the left of my table is a glass of orange juice. My…

Designer Babies

Posted on May 27, 2020May 26, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

One. If you crossed your arms right now, you’ll realize there is a natural tendency to have either the right or left palm on top of your biceps. Doing it the other way will make you feel uncomfortable. Two. If you crossed your legs right now, you’ll notice an instinctive action towards either the left…

Unplanned Thoughts

Posted on May 13, 2020May 13, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

My workplace has an internal blog dedicated to Covid_19 experiences. It’s a place where staff let their hearts out through stories. I like it. I sit at my table having yoghurt, grapes and apples (because I want to keep the doctor away) as I read the feelings of some people like me living alone and…
