FREEDOM BUT NOT FREE
Today Nigeria Celebrates here Independence day/freedom from Colonialism.

As we celebrate I ask:
Are we truly FREE?

We have freedom from Colonialism,

Yet we suffer from tribalism and nepotism.

The crown and Britain are no more our masters yet political thieves are now our master.

Diseases and pestilences plague our land, as health infrastructures are in ruins or neglected

Judgments of the crown no longer bind us, yet our judicial system seem no more the last hope of common man.

Our Political leaders appear worse than colonial masters, who treat their subjects as slaves rather than fellow citizens

Patriotic Nigerians appear to be pathetic Nigerians

The economy dwindling and the giant of Africa is loosing her value.

Hope the  pride of Africa will not turn a shame to Africa?

Which way Nigeria? Are we still standing or we are standing still?

To turn the Nation around can begin with you

You in your little corner and I in my little corner, let's seek to do that which is right

Corona virus! Corona virus!!
While we wonder of your sudden outbreak
And about the decision to take and hard times we now face

We now have heartbreak
As daily we have a new case
You are busy sweeping rapidly across the globe
Each person wears mask and glove

Out of Wuhan you appeared
Bedeviling the entire human race
On one hand we cry and groan for the disaster so far
We wail and mourn for the death within and afar

Daily death toll rises like smoke licking through the sky
This causes tears to drop from our eyes
Affected Families now stand apart
No more time to sit and chortle with friends
Market places are empty as churches and mosques hold no worshiper
Starvation is taking its toll as channels to make money are tied
While you laugh at us boasting with your nickname Covid-19

On the other hand, we ain't totally sad but rejoice
For families now have time to spend together like it's forever
And husbands and wives bond like never
Workaholics now have time to rest with great leisure
Leaders now concentrate on the welfare of the people
And hospitals are equipped with scientific touch
All these we enjoy with all pleasure

Young dudes now sit to plan their lives
As bars and clubs are shut with no wines
Our ladies are now creative rather than sit to **** dudes dry
Prayers are no more left to the clergies
As every **** and Harry now seem to play the pope or great imam
Hearts indeed are drawn to God
As each step we take we are careful not to fall

O covid-19 what a blow you gave Us
For we won't forget the vacuum you've created
We know that some day your reign will end
For we trust in divine power to hold you down like Ebola
Have hope my friends, for this too shall pass

WHY THE SQUABBLE?
Some sleep and never wake up
Some rob others of their lives
Yet some choose to take their own lives.

Folks,

Most times we awake at dawn and take it for granted
Not knowing that our lives the enemy all night hunted

But on a glance
We sure live by Chance
Not on our own freewill
But by God's grace and goodwill

You take everyone for a ride
Swimming in your pomposity and pride

Yet u fall like a fly
Leaving your family to cry

O man! Behold and know that you are nothing
But dust and breath else you'll rotten

So quit your silly attitude
And give God the gratitude

For there is no life in the grave
Except the one you have now which Christ gave

When you fall you will die
And as log of wood you shall lie

Such indeed is life
So let's live at peace rather than strife

At death all men are equal
Rich or Poor, tall or short, brainy or dummy and what have you down below we may go.
So why the squabble?
When it can knock you down anytime.

Live simple, live goodly and most importantly live well in the sight of God and Man.

GIVE ME BACK MY COMMUNITY


Give me back my Community where I had no refrigerator/freezer yet drink cold water from clay pots.

Give me back my community where I wake early to sit by fire place in cold seasons

Give me back my community where I play till midnight and still have my bath outside without been afraid.

Give me back my community where I can visit any of my relatives/kinsman without fear of being poisoned.

Give me back my community where I had no TV yet never lacked stories via tales from grandpa and grandma

Give me back my community where I can travel home any time without fear of being kidnapped/killed.

Give me back my community where a brother after peeling his own cassava helps his neighbor out.

Give me back my community where I had no light at night but the moon Neva failed to show me the way

Give me back my community where I had no car yet never got envious of my neighbor's and he never failed to give me a lift

Give me back my community where there was no park, spar or tourist center to visit on Easter/Christmas yet I move from house to house eating, drinking and still get much money

Give me back my community where I saw no daily police patrol yet my community was extremely peaceful

Give me back my community where I had no phone yet never failed to communicate my friends

Give me back my community where there were few pastors  yet members received prayers without paying for them.

My Community my community!!   O My Community!!!

I miss my Community

Give me back my Community

WORLD BEST
Once again I hail Milady Princeeroma
The one in whom is filled much Effizy
Yet shez not lazy
Among all women shez the best lady
At her beauty i will ever go crazy
For her love am ever ready.
With her am willing to write my story
As God takes me from glory to glory
Milady, your smile sets my soul ablaze, and your voice carries like song
You lift me up from feeling down when every thing goes wrong
You complete my puzzle and were the piece I could not find
But now together with you in life I can not get you off my mind
You are MY WORLD BEST.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WORLD BEST

Love Anniversary
Not too long ago
When I was broken and forlorn of love
My heart yearned for no lady but one
A lady with whom I have seen no equal
One with whom my heart is at peace I stretched out hands of love to her
To my surprise and Joy
She reached out to take my hands
O what a joy inexplicable that I felt
With Milady Oroma Princess Albert I am content
For as a lilly is amongst thorns
So is Milady amongst Ladies
I love u Milady my Pride.
Together Forever, Nothing between

Happy Love Anniversary to us

MILADY (My Rising Hope)
I beheld a lady so cute and lovely
She's in d eyes of every young dude

My love for her is indubitable
And in my humble state I reached out to her

With fear I quaked as I go
Not to receive my worst blow
But alas it wasn't so
For today we now glow

Milady
Who am I that you love me so
And you turn down the strong and mighty
Who seems to be "on" and "trendy"

O Milady
My love for you will not cease to flow
Neither will I let it go sour or slow
But my love's  fire I will blow
So for ever it will glow

I love you Milady - Princeeroma

A panegyric of MILADY
Who has seen a lady so fair, so comely and so bonnie?
She is Milady
O my Princess
Your fragrance is of sweet incense
You glitter like a diamond
And you shine as the sun in its radiance
People around you rejoice
For they are soothed by the tone of your voice
Your humility amalgamated with wisdom
Is what “Emperor” needs in his Empire
Where you shall be a guiding light
And men will walk no more in night
But all they will do is right
Your good deeds shall take you to great height
And glory to glory you shall go
I pray that in all you be faithful
That men will laugh and say not
“Alas! He was entangled in a wild goose chase”
Rather I shall like a nightingale
Sing melodious songs that your love for me is TRUE
And my heart shall be your humble milieu forever
Dedicated to Oroma Princess Albert - Milady

GET UP AND THINK
Thoughts they say is a way of gaining ideas
As it is the seed that makes a mighty tree
Do you know that ideas abound  
Yet it seems our heads are empty
At a time I sat to ponder
Why do young people nowadays look so busy
Yet with no duty
Why not get up and think
Rather than sit and others you envy
And the world you blame
Get up get up get up and think
Think for your future is bright
Think for surely you can do it
Think for you’ve got to make it
Are you still there?
Think for you’ve got the skills
Think for you can apply your skills
Think for your skills can yield fruits
Get up and think.

SWEET SENORITA
O my sweet senorita
I searched for true love
And I found you
When I’m in pain you are my balm
And in your ***** I find solace
One who keeps my heart blazing
To you will my heart beat all the way
For you are mine forever
As the succulent petals
Is your love to me, O! Sweet senorita
I shall not cease to **** from it
But will show it for people to see
What a sweet senorita you are
When from my eyes tears drops
At the touch of your hanky on my face
All the way I find solace
Am calm when in your ***** I lay
And to every other lady I’ll say nay
When with you I play
And with you I will stay

A WOMAN OF VALOR
Who has seen a Woman
So caring, so loving and so kind?
As a mother cares for her child
So is her affection to me
With a heart of love she shows kindness
With her, hospitality is sure
She loveth at all times
Though a brother be born for adversity
Her good deeds is written in Heaven’s HALL OF FAME
And crested in the heart of Men
In her good works, I pray she never grow weary
For heaven is keeping record
And time for reward is sure
Her store house shall overflow
And she’ll reap the good she has sown
Daily my prayers ascends on high
For God to plant her feet on higher ground
Mrs. Asomeji Charity W. is she
In her have I seen a MOTHER
Indeed a woman of VALOR is she

MY CHERRY
Behold My Cherry!
Her beauty is enchanting
And her body is like a morning cherry
That falls like a water fountain
In her is wisdom lavished
As words of her mouth is a soothing relief
Walking with psychedelic gait
Men on the street stumble and fall
For their eyes have seen no such creature
And so they cannot behold her beauty
O! Princess my Cherry
You, will I ever cherish
To you I will ever show my love
For you are one in a zillion

BROKEN WOMAN
When my heart fails and my love breaks
I shall keep on my sail
For my break won't fail

When he thinks I will wail
And they laugh that I stray
Then will I pray
And my fears Will assail

I will Shout and say
O babe arise and shine
For ur beauty won't wane
And sweet love you will find anew

MILADY
Hey Milady,
Your beauty shines so bright
And your presence illumine my night
I will hold you so tight
And will never let you out of my sight
As I strive to do the right
Together we will climb amazing height
For you are my candle light
And my lily white
Milady- Oroma Princess Albert

MY LIFE
My life though marred by billow
And all round me row
Like a lion which can’t be caught with a shot from a bow
I shall not fret but roar

When people say “alas he crow”
In disdain they’ll stand like scarecrow
On higher plain I’ll walk and they’ll bow
Wondering what faith in me I grow
Singing and declaring God’s Goodness wherever I go

— The End —
