I MUST THANK PROFESSOR JEGA

I MUST THANK  PROFESSOR JEGA
I must  express my sincere gratititude to Professor Jega and my infinite ingratitude to the evil minds and bad persons of today and many years back that as held this nation to devastating ransom. Saturday  9th of April I voted a one man one vote,  which was not as before that people I dont even know-  voted for me without my due consent. I am appreciative of the fact that we have at least been one step forward in this election. I must thank the grateful minds who have achieved this fit
I was overfilled with unfathomable joy to see faces come out to vote, not minding the long queue and the rigour stress of standing for hours in a sunny saturday. My heart was filled with bliiss to know that there is a new Nigeria in the hearts of Nigerians who took the pain to perform their civic responsibility. Although it does not look like all is well in every sense, but i believe that we can still shout songs that ‘things are getting better’.
For once I experienced a peaceful  election in my area not minding few set- backs like delay materials and poor logistics. The process of accreditation before voting makes rigging less unattainable and as I was about to vote, the INEC representative showed more friendliness and unbaised expression.  Afterward, my voters sheet was stamped and signed, as i walked cautiously to cast my vote with a smile covering  my appearance. I am pleased to be part of those who will change history in this country.  I watched party agents looked at me with a pleading eye and a thousand naira note  but my mind is already fixed to those parties and persons that have better manifestoes and a sense of responsibility.  If our fathers have failed us the youth, I suppose we must not fail our children.This election is a welcoming one so far and I hope to see a better of it in upcoming ones.
At the end of the voting process,  voter’s sheets were counted at the polling center by the Youth Corps INEC representative and  we all knew what each party had. I know before Jega announces any result;  supposed results are already in circulation. Saturday 9th was not a bad day at all, despite my busy schedule,  for all the events that came with it. I believe one day we shall surely chant all is well, all is well when people vote without sentiments and immediate sustainance.  Jega has done a much clean job and I must thank Jega.

Do you remember?

Do you remember the first day we met? The sun gave a whopping smile That exposed the nakedness of the sky A hi exchanged from four eyes Emotional words wrapped behind sounds And the whispers of our thoughts Do you remember the first night at the park? Nature’s splendour carving the moon’s jealousy The sky at its best costume The arts, the cinema, and two lovely souls at the park Do you remember the night we first kissed? Perfect moments stowed in time forever The thoughts, the lips, and the gentle kisses The journey to the seventh heaven Do you remember the first void? Seven oceans sever bodies but not our souls Through two thick cords and platoons of air We talked and laughed and shared deep feelings Do you remember the first argument? You became the wind, I was the ocean; We fought not to be over But to be together, forever The words of war became the words of love Do you remember the first romance? Two bodies moving in syn...

RELIGION

I am a Christian to the extent that I concur with Saint Paul in saying, “And if I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge and have not love, I am nothing”.   I am a Buddhist to the extent that I realize, with Gautama, that only when a man forsakes all his desires is he really free. I am a Jew to the extent I believe profoundly in the saying. “ Hear, O Isreal, the Lord our God is one.” I am a Hindu to the extent of believing and practicing the kingly science of Yoga, the science of Union with the spiritual Self. I am a Mohammedan to the extent that I rely on Allah above all else. And finally, I am a follower of Lao-Tzu to the extent that I accept his perception of the strange paradoxes of life. I will not walk with Christians into an exaltation of truth above what Christ teaches, those words that have life and death in them. I will not walk with a Buddhist into a denial of the beauty and pleasure which existence holds for me. I will not walk with Jews ...

I READ TO PASS, I PASS TO READ

I read to pass, I pass to read I must shame the volumes of books Who in their almighty prowess Mock my integrated oblongata I must break their spines Turn and tore their gallant colours Empowering lanterns, embracing candles To scan and cram; to skip and keep; To the arrival of the sunlight To the takeover of the moon light Benches of libraries are my bed Piles of books, my pillows I wrestle with bloodless biros Searching depths of Einstein’s well Agreeing with the theories of Dalton Seeing through telescope of Galileo’s Having to traveling my brains ashore, for Knowledge alien to what my ancestor’s call I read, what is not my problem Cramming that which makes a hell of sense And that which is a sense of hell I must pass and pass to others Knowledge not mine; not from my mine. I must avenge this wretched letters Whose author’s idea I am forced to burrow, That which I need and most that brew...
