Nothing nurtures our souls like nature does. The cool breeze blowing to our heads after the scorching sunlight of the day, the green grasses that beautiful our fields, the breathtaking panorama on top of mountains,  the chirping birds that never cease to entertain us morning, noon and night, the forest trees that make use of carbon dioxide and release oxygen for us to breathe, the thousands of animals upon the thousand hills, the landscapes. All are beautiful works of the creator. The beauty of seas and oceans that never fade  The juicy taste of fruits is the creator making The medicinal herbs in our gardens The cooling effect of rains All are the wonders of the creator. Nature nurture And refine itself somehow But man intervention  Has a way of interrupting the course of nature And brings upon himself flooding, Diseases, excessive heat;  All are the results of man's intervention.  All are beautiful, the wonderful work of the creator...

LET LOVE LEAD It is purity. And it's the secret of the trinity, that upholds unity among many entities. Love is all I bargain, 'Cause it has lots of gains. It's the cure to all our pain. And panacea to our tribal disdain No power is above the one from above. Labyrinthine riddles it solves. And clears every doubting cough. No one love with no love. Either Fileo, Ero, or Agape love. Love isn't of a multiplicity of words, But manifest in action and deeds. All I plead Is to let love lead In all our bid. For this ought to be our creed #Letlovelead Let me hang my pen here. Till we meet again, keep being real, and keep being good. I am Odunayo Samuel.

  Just like a second ago, it is still resonating in my mind But now with much pain and fear My heart was flooded and overflowed with joy When father declared all his promises concerning me He boasted and assured me of a better tomorrow He was confident that my star would soon start to glow Just like any good father, better plans he had for me But suddenly death truncated his life un-announced I’ve never read it, I didn’t know it and I wasn’t told, That man is a grass that can fade away anytime soon   All his promises were futuristic And as long as he’s still living, they remained authentic But who knows tomorrow if not the one who made the earth when no one was there? Father was the pillar I rest my chord Believing with him I can move from ‘here to there’ Not knowing father’s promises can take me no where He promised a better tomorrow But not long death truncated his life I shed ceaseless tears and was lost in control I ran to my mot...

  ********************************* Ye preacher of 'it's getting better Come, let me ask you Is it anywhere near better now? For decades, you have been preaching this  Then, they fought and broke the mace  Now, they fought and carted away the mace  They were eager to rule for selfish interest  We, we are eager to rule for personal interest  Them, they had visions We, we don't have vision  Them, they borrowed a little We, we are borrowing more than we can pay  Then, slavery  Now, modern slavery  Then, secession Now, secession and rejection  Then, unemployment was subliminal Now, it has reached a crescendo Then, few went abroad for greener pastures Now, all and sundry are eager to go abroad Then, the exchange rate was good  Now, it keeps on getting worse  Then, our education standard was high  Now, no standard is found in our education  Then, thieves get a conscience  Now, they are heartless  Ye preachers...
