Ibadan, We shall again




We shall again make it beyond their dreams
Beyond the heights our fathers can not see
We shall tread forth pass the hills of Mapo
And cross through the village reality of Bodija

Once again, strength shall full our bone to brim
In our hearts, we will be full of what feat to conquer
There would be no stars at night shone better than ours
And no houses as tall in the city, we will build

We shall once again make into that promise
With smart labour to combat our smart age
Our crops shall once again be in abundance
With glory lifted for every eyes to marvel

Once again, all bliss shall encompass our estate
Every hub of Ibadan shall be a remix of Bata dance
In our traditional dance, all nation taste
And Mokola will dance the dance of the ancestors

We shall once again make the head right
For the dead head causes death to the body
With love we turn mud to gold
We shall again work in the footsteps of time

Once gain, as we approach a time of ‘twenty
There will be light in our streets
Every map of Ibadan shall be a beauty
Twenty will bring plenty for us to rejoice

RELIGION

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 ...

Compatibility test

                                                                                       Before you choose, have it in mind that you are only allowed to choose 10 bullets from the must haves and ten bullets from the I can’t stand . These rules are not 100% sure but they serve to be a guide in minimizing our excesses in what we want from others. It helps prioritize our wants from our needs in a relationship without deception to the self; making us to cherry-pick the best that we want and we don’t want, so that healthy relationship can be ensured. If we are able...

Unending Love Note

I write on a leafy note with an ink that prints out my thoughts incompletely. My words of love, spread affectionately in colourful fonts expressing my unmatched desire to pitch the best spot on your heart I write my words, thinking neither right nor left but with beaming smiles and eyes seeing you in each pages, of alphabets arranged in lines as I paste my emotions in letters I write of you Of an imperfect smiles yet beautiful for a queen and a wife Innocent looks melting my harden heart With soft touches like cold water Splashed on tender body A blessing to my soul I have written And won't be my last we have futured this together Even as we grow with kids and build a larger family I will still put words on paper sharing the odds and even moments of our days together I will write as our sons becomes good husbands I will still write as our daughters becomes virtuous wives This ink doth n...
