AWARD

 AWARDS
I have been to the war of words
I stand like a rod to the mob
My necklace like gong
Shinning like a gold
I hold the pen like a right
I pour out like roar
Other pens roar like whao
My inks like stain, it reign till my grave
I think like craze
But thanks for HIS grace
My mind like wide
No pen can take me for a ride
Your dripping pen can speak the voice of Prof. Wole Soyinka
Dance to the rhythm of Chinue Achiebe
Abpoet like one man MOPOL
My feet like Rock, be cautious of your head
Celebrate me from the street
Where my name is written in the colour of the old
Where is my award?
Award from the dust of MY struggle
Award from the class of the poor
Award from the memories of my tears
Award from the Nobles' table
I mean from those that witnessed the struggle
Oh! Where is my award of excellence?

LETTER TO THE NIGERIA YOUTH

Image
Angry Letter to the Nigerian Youth I am very angry and that is why I am addressing you. You are the source of my anger and I want to vent my spleen- maybe not at you directly- but at the arrogance of your ignorance. Of all nations of the world, you are to be most pitied. Do you still wonder what you have done? You don’t have an Ivy League education but with the little below-standard education you got, all you could do with it is to write a petition against someone with the benefit of an Ivy League education. You can’t even run your personal economy as you’re almost always and perpetually broke yet you arrogate to yourself superior knowledge about the nation’s economy. You sit in front of a computer and rant all day through social media but with every click, you make money- not for yourself- but for Mark Zuckerberg. With every megabyte of data you spend complaining and maligning, you make stupendous bucks for Etisalat, Glo and Airtel. Over the next two years, the numbe...

A PLEA FROM MY HEART

Image
A Plea from the Heart To my friends and family, I write with a heavy sigh, For in my ministry’s journey, your support has gone awry. I pour my soul into videos, Movies, books, and heartfelt spiritual songs, Yet your silence speaks loudly, as if my efforts are all wrong. You refuse to share, to like, to comment, or follow. Ignoring my calls, leaving my hopes hollow. I craft stories and messages with passion and care, But your praise halts at the covers design of both my books and movies, not venturing into the content. When I seek your financial aid, your assistance is denied, But if I were to die, my works would be amplified. You would print my books, watch my films, and share my videos You would follow my YouTube channels, as my spirit sleeps on All in the memory of a good man. Chai! YOU NO TRY! But I am alive now, with dreams burning bright, I ask for your support, not in death, but in life. Bless me with your clicks, your likes, and your shares, Subscribe to my channels...
