Moyosore Quadri

I am a lawyer by day and wordsmith every other time. I first took up satirical writing in 2017 and by 2018, I challenged myself to post a satirical piece every week for a year. This challenge ran for over a year (60 weeks straight) on my medium. I feel like it really helped me hoan my skills and perfect my writing. Other than satrical pieces, I am a huge fan of fiction, creative non-fiction and poetry. i believe I can hold my own in a wide array of topics and I hope you feel the same way after taking a look at my portfolio.

I am yet to land my first writing job but I remain eager to.

Moyosore Sheriff Quadri – “Madness”

Spinning in circles, don’t have it figured out just yet” Those are lyrics from Lucius’ ‘Madness’ And in these times, they couldn’t be more apt, Is it depression that causes one to leave one song on repeat for a week or is it depression that causes one to intentionally seek out songs that that are sad in the first place? I fear that by the time I find the answer to my question it may be too late I mean, all signs point to the world heading towards an inevitable end so would it really be all

Star Crossed

There is a fear that I have known I have struggled to come to terms with it I wonder: how long do I have left with you? If it was meant to be, the stars would align But the stars have rejected us They have been far from benign Legends have been told about men that cheat fate It leads a man closer to his own demise If a man does find his way to the other side, at what cost? I wonder: are you even worth it? I wish I could say “to hell with it all” and push for this But by Hamal’s clutch

Number Support Group

When you have mastered numbers, you will in fact no longer be reading numbers, any more than you read words when reading books. You will be reading meanings. – W.E.B. Du Bois Hello everyone, I am Dr. Susan Van Cliff. I will be your moderator for this process. Before we start, I’d like to reiterate why we are here and what we seek to achieve. The human race has been unfair to many things on our planet, even creations borne out of our sheer ingenuity, like numbers! Especially numbers! Like it or

The African Child

As an African child you are raised to aspire for the very best They know how tough it is, so they raise you to trust no one They teach you to avoid strangers until you become a stranger to them You become what you want them to see because it is what they want you to be They believe that the end justifies their methods You know not to question them because it is the only way Right ? You grow older, you become what they want you to be, you have regrets; You blame them for all of it But yo

God: A better Movie-maker than Linklater?

Richard Linklater wrote and directed what we here at Cuble consider as one of the most iconic movies of the 21st Century: Boyhood. The movie was filmed over the course of 12 years and follows in some detail, the turbulence of growing up. Linklater began production with an unfinished script, he adapted the script to the changes he saw in the actors on a fairly regular basis and inculcated these changes into their on-screen personas. We all are born with incomplete scripts. However, there is a de

THE FLIP SIDE: The pancake story

They are worth the hype, and if they’re not getting any hype, this is the hype. But just like many of mankind’s innovations, they haven’t been given the chance to reach their full potential. We relegated pancakes to a breakfast meal. My love for pancakes stems from the story that accompanies every batch- the batter, the coming-of-age, and the flip side. This is the pancake story. The batter is where all the magic happens. You throw all your ingredients into the mix and give your pancake a sho

Colour Support Group

Blue: From a very young age, I have had to come to terms with the fact that I am an epitome of ‘blueness’. It’s a tag that I find very misleading because I spend all my time watching comedies. I used to put in a lot of effort trying to shed the tag but society can be relentless in pushing a narrative. I’m at a stage in my life where I am not completely sure of who I am and it can be pretty blue. If everyone says the same thing about you and you’re the only one saying otherwise, who is the lia

THE GLOBE IS WARMING

Global warming is a 21st Century phenomenon, it is a result of mankind’s mismanagement of planet earth from times past till present. From the look of things, we would still be fine if we were permanently stuck in the stone ages. Many people still disagree that the globe is warming but just as many have realised that they are sweating more frequently than they used to. Over the past week Cuble conducted a survey (allegedly) to find out what people think is the cause of their erratic perspiration

GOOD TIME TO BE FAT

We currently live in a world that is offended by everything (most things), with good reason because studies have shown that most of us can be inconsiderate airheads. Words are considered ‘derogatory’ when all they actually mean is exactly what the person or the situation they describe represents, this is as a result of a variety of reasons, ranging from the origin of the word to its usage. For example, the word midget originally was not coined as the official term for people with dwarfism but u

Debunking the myth about debunking myths

One of the rationales behind myth debunking is the desire to correct what the debunker views as ‘misconceptions’. It is fuelled by the Debunker’s desire to be a buzz kill. As the myth debunking trade is a highly scrutinized field, debunkers often times buttress their research with facts and figures. This is fuelled by the Debunker’s excess resources and having nothing better to do with his/her time. The word ‘Myth’ means ‘a widely held but false belief’, the meaning of the word defeats the exi

A misguided theory on eternity and the afterlife

There is a prevalent belief in the existence of an afterlife amongst humans that breaks cultural and religious boundaries. Essentially, our time here on earth is to test how well we do living in our physical bodies and our performance promises either eternal basking in glory or eternal damnation. Eternal basking in glory supposes cladding up in top tier brands whilst living tax free, I think we also all get free Teslas. On the other hand, eternal damnation supposes exactly what it supposes- Ete
