Beware of men they promise in your presence And stab you in your absence. Be mindful of your own business. And with your dream never be careless. Though the road may not be smooth. If you don't quit you'll win, this is true. Putting all your mind on men Is nothing but a witch hunt. And at the end you find yourself to blame Then, reality dawn on you like a mother hen. Expect nothing from Human clan! And work with your own very hand. Soon in your niche abundance will land. For whose promise fail, if not human? Ogbeni la oju e, Kose ise t'eleda ran e. One day you'll burst into lime light. And that will end all your many plights. Don't be lazy, the lazy ones are blind. Blind in the physical and mind. And the reason men so kind are stingy. Ore mi mase kawo gbera Rise to your feet, be up and doing. Though the journey may seems far. Yet; if you don't go back you'll win. Imole a tan, iyanu asele, Help will come. Still expect...

****************************************** Often thinks about their youthful days Each time I set my eyes on them That moment when they were in their prime When they were the cynosure of all eyes But now metamorphosis is at it again Old age knocked at the door of beauty, Both locked horns but aging claimed the victory. That youthful beauty has faded. That voluptuous, sagging mammary glands, bow. Wrinkled were the initially smooth and fresh faces This left me in the ocean of confusion At last came out with a conclusion, ‘Beauty is a fading Entity.’ Fresh chicks consider your grannies Perhaps you have none Take a careful look at your mother. Was once the most sought after in the city. Was once the subject of discussion among her males’ peer? Where are the beauties of old? Fresh-faces be mindful of beauty, it fade. Once upon a time cherished beauty can later be spit upon However, I’ve always asked will I ever marry? ‘Cos I’m looking for a woman Whose bea...

Their constituents snooze not with peace And they don't even care Their meeting field turn a ring Where blows are traded like in market place They've trained their hands to fight Even on matter that needs sense, and not might The house called house of decision Has been metamorphosed to that of COMMOTION Those who men look unto  as makers Are nothing but mere law breakers The very people we called Leaders Are nothing but poisonous Adders They cherish lies at the expense of truth Anyway, they are all clueless crews Men whose appetite is not to lead But drunk with passion to brim their protrude bellies We can't call them leaders They are nothing but mere riders Men whose boss is appetite; Blur their vision like cataract Gang of professional thieves Robe like honorable chiefs If this city has any problem, they are If this city is way far behind her sisters, it's their fault. If this city vehicle is on the reverse mode,  they are T...

Why all this atrocities, you ask? The main reason is to drive more traffics to their respective schools hence, making more profits. Its only in private schools a parent would walk in and accuse the schools, how come my child fails? Didn't I pay school fees? Because they know that all what they're after is money not standard. Prove me wrong that's if I'm wrong there's no standard in any private schools in Nigeria. Except for some few ones and catholic schools that still maintain the standard of old. The only cure that Nigeria education need is to withdraw total franchise from private individuals from owing a school. By this, all the private schools will be under Government control such that both public and private schools will operate under same rules.  If possible individual must be restrained from owing a school. But only private agencies must be granted that opportunity to establish school. With the warning, should they misbehave the school will be cl...

The subject of discussion today had been something that for some days bordering my mind. A blessing or a curse sounds a rhetorical question, but its not.  Its a question that you and I must answer. We all know that Nigeria education system is in a state of malady. A diseased body needs a medication to cure it. But when the medication is under-used or wrongly used it enhances the virulence of the disease. Such is the state of education in Nigeria today. The Government had failed woefully in their responsibility towards education.  And the private schools owner that arose like the biblical Moses also had been compromised.  We thought they would be a curing dose to our education system Male habitus. But instead theyve proven over the years to be wrong prescription. Rather than being a panacea to our disease they compound it. Their act is crippling the system beyond measure.  How then can we come out of this waterloo? Before any reasonable answer t...
