    Idiong Divine

    Divine Friday Idiong, popularly referred to as Idiong Divine, is from Iko-Eket in Eket Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State. He attended Agbassa Primary School and Nana College both in Warri, Delta State. He proceeded to Auchi Polytechnic, Auchi in Edo State to obtain both an ND and HND in Mass Communication. He has also got a PGDE from the University of Port Harcourt, Choba, Rivers State. Idiong is a qualified journalist, but has worked majorly as a teacher in Warri and in other towns in Nigeria in the past. He now works as Administrative Secretary in MGSL, Warri. He is a member of the Nigerian Institute of Management (NIM). He is the author of the book "Never Ending Poem" published in Ibadan in 2007. He is also the author of the collection of short stories "Mind of Diamond" published in Uyo in 2012. His literary prowess may perhaps lie in the unswerving paradoxes and allegories that garnish his oeuvre. “Nonetheless, Divine’s musical musing on different realities of life has something in it for every consummate arty-farty mind.” ~THE NATION, February 5, 2012.

      Dedication: For Edidiong-obong and Eno

      Akpos Ovigwe’s trek from his place of work every other day was like a safari. Only, Warri was not a country side at all. It did not have all those wild animals and herbs you see on safaris. The speeding cars and motor bikes toing and froing the streets; speeding past the hurrying pedestrians gave the town that cynicism present in most any West African city.

      He wiped his brow with a white handkerchief for the umpteenth time. The afternoon sun was burning at full blast like a million furnaces put together. It seemed to be burning just above his head. He must have tramped a distance of over one kilometer. His feet, in a pair of tightly laced espadrilles, ached unremittingly; he had bought the pair of espadrilles long ago from a shed where imported fairly used shoes were sold. He could feel the wetness of his own sweat underneath his clothes. The handkerchief he had just tucked in his pocket was metaphorically soaked. It reminded him again of the portion of the bible that said: ‘From the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat bread’. He was not sure he liked the quotation very much.

      He waited for a honking car to pass, and then he crossed cautiously from a quiet street into Giwa-Amu Road.

      He had devised a way of making his treks into rambles in which he avoided major roads. He was hardly ever at home with the sights and sounds of those vehicles speeding past him. The one major road he could not conveniently avoid was the Giwa-Amu road. Taking the quieter streets around would at least double the distance to his residence at Ogboroke.

      His mind was racing as he walked.

      Warri had suddenly become a boisterous town again after the crises that capped the military rule in the late 1990s. Wealth was fast returning to the town. Modern edifices were beginning to spring up
