The clamour for youthful leadership: The stormy sea of murky waters

Image
My participation in political and socio-economic discourse has been at its lowest ebb for a long while now. Even though i'm no social media freak but i visit several social media platforms and online news platforms every six hours to check on latest happenings in the country. And as expected there is always a new gist about governmental actions and proceedings in the country. I have only chosen not to comment on the rather pathetic and horrendous shape of our country not because everything is quite good and cool instead its because every latest news about our country seems to be laced with comic and hilarious substances to which one cannot but smile and ponder over what our country has become, which brings to the fore the title of Chinua Achebe's book that indeed "there was a country". The Nigeria political space has been inhabited by comic actors who are obviously apparelled in suits, agbada, or babariga wears with little or no knowledge about how to steer the affa

BREAKING THE BARRIERS OF MY LOVE

Image
Based on Logistics, I never can tell Why I love Her, I can't just explain why I love Her, How 'just' she solved it, Breaking my 'barriers' of love, My love of skimpy girls, Fair and tall girls, With automated voice, are unlimited, She just came in without knocking, She's busty,blackie and brilliant... I never can tell how she made her way Into my heart, Its unexplainable, Knowing fully well of my love for, fair and skimpy girls, I can't explain the genesis of our love, A single smile of hers, Can whoop my Bank Account, A wink of hers can command so many things, I just love her the way she is. I believe that's what is called LOVE N.B: Nothing about this poem is attached with the Poet just like any other Poem Written By: Timilehin Ogundipe, 07069491510

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has run out of excuses – he needs to take personal responsibility after Manchester City's title success

Image
Jose Mourinho accused his players of being ‘on the moon’ after losing to the Premier League’s bottom side West Brom. He talked about their poor attitude and said they were too complacent and too relaxed. Mourinho has been in the job a long time and that is not a good enough excuse from a Manchester United point of view. Not at all. That is him passing the buck. Mourinho has to take a bit of personal responsibility for this. Jose Mourinho needs to take more responsibility after his side missed out on winning the title United suffered a shock defeat at home to West Brom to hand Manchester City the title You look at the signings Mourinho has made. The likes of Paul Pogba — he has been a show pony. He’s turned up sometimes during his United career — the second time around — but you have to look at the top and at Mourinho. United fans are going to be deeply unhappy with what has happened. That performance against West Brom was nowhere near good enough. Mourinho is the man a

A Twitter user simply identified as Jeffery has taken to the platform to slam one of the housemate of the ongoing reality TV show, Nina. He cited Nina and her Igbo roots, claiming that Igbo girls are the best at being infidel. He wrote; Quote“Nina is an encapsulation of what Igbo girls are: unfaithful. No tribe beats Igbo girls at cheating.

Image

#I Stand With Her- By Kimilokan

"I used to have aspirations", she said as she broke down in tears. Just like many women in our present day society, she suffers from emotional instability and depression due to her inability to combine her family life and the professional heights she dreamt of attaining all her life. Quite alarmingly, about one in every five Nigerians suffer from depression, about the highest rate in Africa. The Nigerian woman suffers double because she faces marital, family, career and emotional struggle. Women need to find passion in whatever they do. You're special creatures, strong and empowered to break grounds and attain great heights. Find happiness in whatever you do and always remember, you have the ability to change the world. In the season of appreciating women, make it a point of duty to support a woman today! #I Stand With Her! #Female Empowerment! #Support Women Today! Watch this space for our series that StandWithHer.

Beyond limitations

Moving against the torrent of reality The meaning of the day is vague in calamity Sun looks like the moon sound like it lacks veracity But nothing is vague in saner clarity He works against human's imaginations Living in a land of no man's beautification Yet expresses himself in easy clarification His identity still remains beyond recognition Yet he meets all humans satisfaction His integrity is greater than any man's morality He has given us stars like one in duality Whose birth are surrounded by 'enigmatism' Different from social conventionality Their appearance is has caused pit of hell calamity Their voice sound unism Their stars glitter in purity Happy birthday to these beautiful and enchanting Queens of the light.

Oil in my lamp! (Matthew 25:1-12)

Image
On a pilgrim journey to Jerusalem Bearing my lamp with me; The light from my lamp flickered Casting long shadows. My lamp; my source of light Guiding my path so I won't stumble. As I journeyed on, it burned slowly and slowly Until it became a little flicker! It couldn't go further than a mile. It burned out! In thick darkness I wallowed. Evil permeated the air! I groped! I stumbled! I fell! I held my cold lamp to my breast As groans escaped my lips. Sinking to my feet, I cried out for help. "Give me oil in my lamp, keep me burning" And out of the darkness, a light shone. It dispelled the darkness. It gave me hope. It lit my life. My lamp burned. My heart burned! Cause I had oil in my lamp! This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine! Written By: Igho Divine

The King and His bride

Incomparable beauty. Well sculpted, no look alike! Your Sceptre speaks righteousness. Set aside from your companions, Your heart drips fragrant oil. The young men sing your praises, The maids dance in honor of your deeds. Your sword is strapped about your loins. Your enemies tremble at the sight of you. Your arrows break your enemies hearts. Your foes eat the dust! They beg for mercy, But they find it not! Your throne is in the Throne! Dance to the sweet music that comes from the throne room. You deserve every good thing! Royalties wait on her. She's all glitters! Her wedding dress dazzles! Majestic in words, work and movement, The virgins of the land look up to her. She's never idle. The King don the garments made with her dexterous fingers Her King desires her beauty... Even the Queen of Tyre pay homage Blessed among women! Favored by the King! I am a Queen and my King is mine!
