Alore:


Thank you omonnakoda. Yours is deeper, more insightful, patriotic and tells a true story that every good Nigerian can relate with.
The OP's submission? A misapplied giftedness that actually displayed the infantile and bigoted thinking of an otherwise talented wordsmith!

The jury is out bros. But I stand firm on my words.

PointB:


Thanks for your candor.

I believe we may have to conduct an ultimate search for that golden picture of Buhari not looking away, not looking lost in the midst of these other great(er) men and women! hehehehe.


He's not just comfortable among his better!

And somebody was looking down, ... and that's perfect, ...because his name is not Buhari. The one to the right of Merkel wouldn't return to his country if he were Buhari. Arrangements in pictures are mostly impromptu, but had Buhari stayed behind, it would mean he's relegated. Man, you have nothing good to say about Buhari and if you'd said that straight you'd most likely be understood.

Actually, I couldn't care about the others in the picture, not even the overconfident Obama.

Consider this response to your trashy submission as a gift. It won't come so generously next time.

anonimi:



The old pensioner don try already oh with all the PACKAGING during campaign and Fashola as his chaperone in the delegation.

However packaging can only take you so far with a BAD product!

anonimi be like: 'I am saying all these because I don't want my Oga to be the new pensioner. If he'd trounced that Buhari at the polls, we wouldn't be in this pathetic situation.'

Can somebody who stands spiritually on a weak ground do anything but self destruct. I dare you.

PointB:


Nice retort bros.
Unfortunately, you are looking at (or yearning for) an alternate universe. In this universe, in this world, on this planet, Buhari's poise (lack of it actually) inspires no confidence, and portray a man struggling to fit in.

Not a million words, can change the picture we all see.

Look at him again, and look at others.



The difference is clear.

You look nay you stare
with disdainful glare
So you cannot see
but project with hircine glee
on a a hateful screen
morbid thoughts from within
foul verbigeration
posing as prose
Are carpenters and sculptors
hewn from the same log
Are the tentacles
of the Mollusc as
the horns of a ram

Just be reason able in your thinking

omonnakoda:

You look nay you stare

So you cannot see

on a a hateful screen
morbid thoughts from within
mere verbigeration
posing as prose
Are carpenters and sculptors
hewn from the same bog

I spake,
Not of self
Nor for self
But that all might see
That mighty Buhari
Is not mighty
Amidst his bosses

I spake, not my mind
But that of all
Big, and small
Who will not fret
But say
Without let,
Without hindrance
What they see,
When they behold
Our prominent dullard
From Duara land

I spake,
Only what we hear
The picture spake
Of a President
Who fidgets
Amongst betters

PointB:

What is this ?
Is the making of verse
now defined by the terse
or the laconic
Is writing a short sentence
What a poem makes
Get thee gone
and find work that is meet
for your idle hands
a pretender of the noble art thou art
a phony ersatz may fool the rabble
crude words of a rude mind
are not verse
just indulgence of the dense
reacquaint thy lips and bind
them in permanent embrace

You don't even have to write anything to defend yourself. Thirteen lines and the amanuensis is gasping for breath. These thirteen souvenir, evergreen lines have done everything.

Unbelievable. The humanoids of NL deserve an award. This guy is funny. The last lines of your poem qualify you definitely for a Nobel Rugs award men!

Image123:
Wow, now that's depth @omonnakoda.

Lolz . . . .Some real back patting "depth" here . . . . .It is allowed jare . . . .

My year 6 nephew would write a better poem. Oponu

Now that you have expressed your useless, irrelevant rant, is there any chance that you are capable & willing to address the issues I raised in my post that you quoted

Thanks.

Brainless Buhari don dey do like houseboy to pale skinned people nor be today. The man even try small thanks to Chaperone Fashola who was drafted at the last minute to be in his delegation.

There he stands
His hands,
Hidden from sights
That men, who stood before him
Might not behold
How he trembles

There he stands
Awkwardly,
Like a fish
Out of water,
Longing, not for the penetrating rays
Of light, of eyes
But the dark slimy abode

There he stands
Hidden in plain sight
Behind dark glasses,
Dodging peering eyes
Like a hermit crab

There he stands
Looking
Not at others
But away from all
Perhaps, that none might ask
Why he gallivants
While Borno burns

There he stands
Among others
Too engrossed to mingle
With my president,
Buhari, of One Chance
The prominent dullard
From Duara

There he stands
Alone
In a crowd!

You no well. I like your poetic skills though.

What brand is your poison bro?
This rejoinder deserves at least a carton, in my view

There is no gainsaying that omonnakoda's piece locates PointB's earlier rant as the stuff of playground

PointB, no be fight o...
I am too busy at the moment for e-pugilism

But eh, you cannot knock the hustle of a quintessential hustler.
