1. I am hungry.

2. 56 years ago, Nnamdi Azikiwe was freed from making freedom based protests when he died.
(Someone correct this. It is not correct grammatically. If you can, you are superbly wow!)

None got any. Not even 1.
A kiss, MizMyColi?

56 years ago, Nnamdi Azikiwe was freed from making freedom-based protests when he died.


Note: The hyphen is important to indicate the compound word.

That opined (and corrected), the sentence ,seemingly, is in accordance with the standard rules of modern written English Language.

So what is it then? The punctuations are in place and I added a hyphen to YOUR translated version.


Wait a minute: Nnamdi Azikiwe died in 1996 and not 56 years ago!

oya- unscramble the words in this verse one by one grin - www.nairaland.com/411379/streetwize-booth


streetwize:
Luciferous logolepsy/
No Emcee ever navigates through music with the tetrachords of ptolemy/
Supposedly, Ideogeny's potency's obscured from contemporary neophytic poetry/
I solemnly but irrevocably declare suppositions/
of quantum dynamic collisions/
against my volition/ but resulting from the cynic position/
of a luthiferous lyrical vision/
inundate u with variant concepts/
giv orders to my alien subjects of my plans to invade the world with aerial objects/
Im here. . but u wont see me even if u used photo-keplerian optics/
my genesis was musical/
Used her ovaries as a mic and my mothers uterus as a studio/
Its easy, . . find a better verse/
And ill find u a Eulabia Indica at the substratum of the mariana trench!!!!!
