You are my wife,you are my mother.
You are my auntie,you are my sister.
You are my girlfriend, you are my acquaintance.
You are my niece, you are my daughter.
You are a widow, and even my grandmother
I celebrate you!
You are divine,epitome of strength.
You are not just a Woman
You birth and nurture generations after generations.
You soften rocks, coarse floods,
You melt metals and water existence.
You give motion to life
You are The Worthy- Ordained Mother to Advance Nations.
Yes You are a WOMAN
I Celebrate You Today and every day .

Coming through the windows
Our bedside lamp in bow
In welcome of your brightness
With Hope, peace, and happiness
Oh! You unveil
A new beginning with love
Carried by your light like dove
A beginning full of hope
Mother’s knees bent in devotion
Counting beads as in meditation
At the ancestral shrine
Father pours libation
Breaking kola nut as in occasion
All in welcome of you

Ewoo…!  Ewoo..!!
Seven piece from one kola
This is an Omen….
Father in great awe
Mother seems far away
Both in conflicting hope
Your light shine for us to cope
You shine with promise
For us to work and not miss.
Fellow; lets embrace this light
And walk our paths with strength
In oneness to love
In unity to wit
Kola nut is a very important nut used in most occasions in my African. We also  use kola nut to welcome our visitors. It has different names in our diverse language and culture, but serves the same purpose. We call it 'Oji' in Ezi my lovely town.
At the mountain top view
Illuminating visuals like silver flare
Stares us in subdued humility.
Dawn rock bottom
Lies in stretches of defeat
Like lighting flashes peeps in
Memories of our climb
A turbulent journey indeed

S­o man can conquer
And poetry to the rescue!
Of fallowed creativity
Land left untended
  A broken mirror
  Catering away the cause of art
Picking the bits and pieces
our divine cause
And poetry our given tool!
Of a beautiful dream
Transported to a realm
That bore peace and joy
The sea ebbs and flow
Waving splashes the silky sand
In smooth, harmonious rhythm
With the whistling palms
To winds beats and songs.
In the heart of the mangrove
The trees wave its leaves
Swell Swaggering to the beats of breeze
As the birds soar higher and higher
In shades of clouds
In shapes and colors
Casting beauty in perfect strokes.
Music of the winds
Harmony of purpose
A joyous soul to live
The landscape in dream
A shadow of the landscape within  
Only a dream!
Only a dream!!
I am born to be me
As me I grew
Blistering and blooming
In youthful ego
Detach I from me
I am unique
How about me?
Meticulous and dynamic
I am articulate to me
I admire me
I challenge me for
I go heights I take me
For me I am indispensable
Me and I
A phenomenon
