OH!! NIGERIA: An INVOCATION to THE GOD of OUR FATHERS_


Chukwu Okike Abiama- the greatest deity of all time

Your unquestionable existence we extol

Our fathers, your faithful worshippers

Must lie uneasy in their graves


What dost thou behold 

Through the atmospheric strata

A people in darkness thicker than the bulrushes of _Igodo_ lake 

Ocean mix of blood and tears

Hail and wails of the destitute


For greedy sons of Belial 

Serving their bellies and not us

Constrain our destiny

This is the cause of your wrath

Oh! hearken to our pleas born by the wind 


Tribal bigotry plagues us 

Like a rotten ulcer on the dorsum of a diabetic's foot 

Our stench exposes us to carnivores

Please, come to our rescue


The die is now cast

Strengthen us to reclaim our wastelands

To rediscover the unity in WaZoBia

May our unborn offspring not remember us for shame

*Ise!!!!!

-WHO IS THIS AFRICAN WOMAN- Who is  this  African  Woman? Don’t  muzzle the  ox,  which  thread  on  the field. The African  hope  deserves  hope. Blood  and  pain  for  the girl  of dark  skin.  Worthy  damsel  of blackness. Test  her worthiness  by  infibulating; Break  her softness  with  the cow  horn.

Strip  her dignity  by  the brutal  thrusts  of masculine savagery. Helpless  and  hopeless,  confine  her  to  soothe. Eyes  breaming  with  smoke,  interlaced  with  tears  that  don’t  flow, She blows  the coal  of  supper,  yet  this  night  she must  feed  her  body. This  is  the African  Woman. Who is  this  African  Woman? Education  is  not  her price,  maternity  is. Bouncing  with  hope,  she  toils  the field  without  hope. I am  a  woman,  I deserve  life  to  l

NOTHING TO WRITE

-
There is nothing to write; This mind is tired of any fight; It whispers rest it is night; But there is this feeling that something is not right. There is nothing to write; Yet the will is being stired for a fight; It counsels strike just at night; When it feels that things are just right. There is nothing  to write; Yet the pen swings left and then right; I use my thoughts to light up the night; Hopefully my draft brings end to all fight. There is really nothing to write; I hope the strokes are really all right; Sleep encourages me to lay still coz it's night; Tomorrow we would pick up a new fight. Good Night Hagia Sophia wrote
