trade centre and a major transportation hub for
the surrounding agricultural areas with its rail and
road junction. The population of Kaduna was at

On one certain Monday morning in October of 2018, Celestina woke up from sleep with a sudden start, the room was stiff and cold, and she could not remember what she was dreaming about, but the terror from it lingered, her heart was pounding furiously while sweat seeped from her entire body, she could not close her eyes, because she was afraid, alone and wet, all at the same time, the room was dimly lit by rays of the morning sunlight that poured through a crack on her window, amidst mounting anxiety, she knelt down, after staying in kaduna for two years, prayers has become a second nature.



After a quick shower, the fear and loneliness disappeared like a mist before the warmth of a rising sun, but from the moment celestina stepped out from her room, she felt something was awkwardly out of place, but just could not put a name to it, it was a feeling, or rather her mind playing tricks on her, she thought, but there was no time to get into it as she race to work, keeping all her eerie feelings at bay,

In the wake of the crisis that took place in kaduna state, chared remains of burnt cars littered some Kaduna major high ways, and among one of such skeletons of constructed metals that once use to be vehicle's, one stood out, by some miracle it was burnt with the two front doors open, and they were all white.



In Kaduna, dreams come true, but seldomly, Nightmares do too
