DELE GIWA: THE MAN IN 30 YEARS , THE JOURNALIST AND THE MIGHTY PEN THAT LIVES ON

I'm well sure many don't even know him, not to talk of remembering him. Well, it's the configuration the system we find ourselves has made. For history's case and sake, Sumonu Oladele Giwa born on March 16, 1947 from the prestigious Ile-Ife died October 19, 1986 (Age 39)in Ikeja ,Lagos. He remains the journalist if not the most prominent to have died by a Mail bomb explosion as a present from the demons in governance then.
We find these demons in the nation's farmland today harvesting the wealth of the land, milking the nation's purse dry and uprooting every form of justice and voices of truth. Dele Giwa was a journalist who the government of General Ibrahim Babangida felt was too taciturn over and keen on truth. He died two days after he had been interviewed by State Security Service officials (SSS).He was seen as too revolutionary and he did this through his Newswatch which was set up in 1984. This paper is said to have revolutionalized Nigeria print media. He was a model of truth, stood for truth and wanted the best for the nation. His pen shed tears today exactly 30 years ago when he was assassinated. This cycle has been, and will continue. Those who stand for truth are either shuffled out of existence, incarcerated or enticed with federal packages which keeps their lips sealed.
This is a nation many have said is not ripe for self-rule and probably needs a recolonization, for instance, according to Republican candidate, Donald Trump; "In my opinion, most of these African countries [like Nigeria] ought to be recolonized again for another 100 years because they know nothing about leadership and self-governance.” The nation's leaders plunge the nation's ship to capsizing and have no dream for the nation and the people. Let Dele Giwa be a model for all of us.  I'm writing this to Nigerians particularly youths who are waiting on the government to make life better and help them achieve destiny and fulfill purpose. Your destiny is in your hands, not that of our leaders. Let me remind you as I end my whistling that the pockets and stomachs are the concerns of leadership in Nigeria, not you or your life. They less have us in hearts. Today, the world remembers Dele Giwa as a hero and a mighty pen that lives on. 
To this end, there are complications behind Dele Giwa's death which you'd be interested to know, his background and life which is one to draw inspiration from. I drop my gong and sip my emu. Ride on!

"THE NEED TO SEE LITERATURE DIFFERENTLY"...Badiru Kehinde

Just about 2 days ago when American singer and songwriter Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature, questions have been raised on the basis of selection which traditionally is supposed to be focused on fiction writers, poets and playwrights. These were literary expressions which used to be criterias for awarding this prize.

PM News wrote, "He is the first American to win since the novelist Toni Morrison, in 1993. The announcement, in Stockholm, came as something of a surprise. Although Mr. Dylan, 75, has been mentioned often as having an outside shot at the prize, his work does not fit into the literary canons of novels, poetry and short stories that the prize has traditionally recognized". Although, the award has had its way into Africa through winners like our very own Wole Soyinka, Nigeria (1986) with Camus, Albert Algeria (1957), Maathai, Wangari Kenya (2004)
Theiler, Max South Africa (1951, Luthuli, Albert John South Africa (1960). However, Senior research fellow at The University of Ibadan, Institute of African studies, Dr. Senayon Olaoluwa wrote, "The Nobel for Literature has refused to come Africa's way again...wahala no dey...It's good news for popular culture, anyway. Congratulations to Bob Dylan!".

Similarly Literary scholar, Dr. Rotimi Fasan has this to say; "Do you still wonder whether it's scholarly to see poetry in Dagrin, 9ice or P Square to say nothing of Sunny Ade? When some wondered if African oral forms are worthy of the name literature, can such people tell us why an American folk singer can or should be awarded a major prize in literature. Expand your definition of literature and the literary which is not necessarily only what you were taught inside the four walls of a school"

This goes to say that literature today is changing and the walls which it used to be trapped are basically expanding. If a folk singer can be awarded a Nobel Prize, an Hip-hop artist,Country, soul,smoothjazz or jazz music could also someday. One battle the African continent had to fight was the renegotiation of the fact that Africa had her indigenous oral forms which the west have tried on several occasions to debunk. Well I'm watching out for the likes of Brenda Russel, Drake, Adele, The Weekend, Solange, Rihana, Brian Cubertson, John Mayer, Jonathan Butler, Anita Baker, etc to probably get an award someday. LOL just a take. Consider our very own Sunny Ade, the musical legend who just celebrated his 70th birthday. Essays are being received by the centre of African studies, University of Ibadan in order to celebrate the legend. It's an exploration of the intersection between Juju music and literature and the aesthetics each of these artises dedicate to their musical art. This supports the claim that there is a need to see literature differently.

It's not new that the study of literature in the scholarly sense of it has left the pages of the three genres, what we have today is a cross breed of genres, a mix of these traditional forms even with the recent digital and new media devices which we have at our finger tips today. The study of literature today is becoming a honeymoon, a bed of roses and really something to live with, in and for.

ONE NIGERIAN DREAM (SELECTED POEM)
MY NIGERIA: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, THE PAST, THE PRESENT AND THE WAY FORWARD

CC: SHATTERED HOPES; WHO WILL MEND OUR NIGERIAN DREAMS?

I jerked up from the world of slumber, the land of sleep,
Only to realize I’m once again awake in a nation of the unknown,
And a state of uncertainties,
Oh! Why must I wake again this perfidious morning?
Even when the inner-me knew I wasn’t perfervid 'bout the early wake
I wanted to go back into slumber,


The boy next door asked!
What is it to jubilate about?
Or are we yet again set to dance to the melody of our shattered hopes?
A hundred and sixteen years since we emerged as one Nigeria, so called,
And fifty-six years of Independence yet we remain dependent,
What is there to roll the drums about?
A so-called giant that still crawls,
I wake up every morning full of tears,
Cos our country keeps shattering our hopes,
No good schools, no food, no power, no security, no power, no
security, no water, no medicals, Yet you want to roll out the drums,
If only I had a pistol while writing this epistle,
I won’t have spared anyone that dared to roll the drums.


They eat our flesh for food and we still wash the plate
There will be blood! One day we will rise up in rage.
We grow grey trying to catch our dreams
If some grey beards' are this nation's embryo,
Played on board, Still...
We preach freedom
But we still got leash on
Pay attention see heroes turning in graves,
I hear Awo saying, "look what my country became "
Like Jesus turned water to wine
One day our grief will turn to gain
Nigeria, quit crying. Stand up and fight
You need hope not help
We walk around in chains, you call it jewelry, I call it slavery
Like a Black Moses, one day I shall see to the freedom of my people


I wish I'm with a nation which cares
One which lends a ear
Sleep!
no!!
more!!!
NIGERIA, wake up!!!
Our kids keep dying,
Our kins keep crying,
Our graduates are scared of graduating,
No blames, our hopes are shattered and the future looks bleak,
A nation at 56, yet still begging,
A nation with first-class natural resources,
Yet its citizens still feed on crumbs.
A nation with looters as leaders,
And paddlers as lawmakers,
Our leaders have turned against us, even with the mantra of “CHANGE”
Who will bell the cat?

MY NIGERIA: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, THE PAST, THE PRESENT AND THE WAY FORWARD

Nigeria (a woman with nappy around her waist) has had an analogous case of a proverbial fowl that perches on a robe, the robe is restless, the fowl is restless. Nigeria has had an history to which instead of learning from is trapped by. Nigeria in the past and present has been an abattoir of its citizens for butchers like the insurgents, ritualists, bad construction companies, poverty promoters, corrupt citizenry, those who need abattis of the few saints and the truth et cetera. This nation wallows in the quagmire mire of stagnancy. Its oil boom has chameleoned to doom. There are proliferations of worship centres but no panacea to the age-long predicament of the nation. Instead it seems they fed it elixirs. We coat rusty irons into our government positions and brand them new. The youths are redundant and were being fashioned into devil's workshop and worktools. Old gluttonous grey beards parade the Nigerian corridor of power. Yet we clamour for change. Our fingers are crossed and our bellies are adapting to the current economic downturn of this Jungle. We still have faith in the current Mr. President for just twain years. When the time expires, then, We will know how to grade him, We will know if We should serve him the meals which I served the previous regimes. Twain years for the burden of change is not easy to bear. Japan, China and otherother Asian Tiger's inspiring history took years to be written in fine ink. Rome too was not built in a day. No matter the decade this is going to take for the seed of change to sprout, We are not tired of waiting, only if the future is not foggy and pessimistic.
The road is clear, the road is known. But the destiny of a lost dog starts with its deafness to the hunter's whistle. The truth is alive but buried by the silence of its bearers. Question: Who will resuscitate it with resilience? Though the truth will speak for itself maybe when it delay its coming till after the death of its benefactor. Nobody wants to die but, wants Paradise's goodies.To this effect, Shakespeare states that death is a necessary end. All religious books supported the fact that death is a necessary end. J.P Clark repeated it in his verse "Casualties" that heros die once but cowards die many times before their death. We have been escaping battles, and living to fight another and even another. Where are the veers and valiants! Where are the men of valor! The earth has drunk blood already, don't be afraid to feed it more if the embodiment of the blood is an hurdle on the path of change. Let our feet stamp the dust once. Let our voice echoe once. Let us expand our coast, let our economy wear garments of diverse colours. Feed earth its food, and she will bless you in return. Leave her milk alone, for you bled her blood not milk. It is not an oil boom but an oil doom. The elders' wealth of experience and the children's tact made Ifè. Open the door of the nucleus of governance to the youths. Wash the sword of its dusty abandonment, blind her so that when it swings, it knows no emotions. Let us learn from history and not be trapped by it. Let history paint our portraits under the caption of victor not the caricature of us being victims. Teach each child virtue, don't set fire under your bushel. Let the adults live by example. Let our eyes in the vault of power serve without being seduced by the alluring witchcraft of the treasury. Let's go on this adventure and come back as a bunch of broom, not scattered broomsticks and tattered umbrellas. Let's rewind the clock to the Africa of our forefathers. The Africa that tell moonlight tales under trees, the Africa that minds no blood differences. The Africa that stretched its arms to the whites. But let us watch our heads like the crabs. We are elders, let's look back at the log that fell us and plan not to fall again. Let's rewrite the script of this film. Let's give our children better films to watch. These are just the conflicts, at the resolution of the film, it will be qualified to be called a melodrama. If you don't want these words to be like masturbating the moon, please share it everywhere, not just let it rest in your heart.

He has the money, spend it and have a good life, we only live once...
I for buy my own sef but I should be kidnapped the next day

This is not just Virtual reality, it's our reality. It's a big development. We need games as this which would capture our own society and not Miami, Texas or California

With this, we can visualise our own dream, get deep in the surrealism and view our lives with our own lens and not with that of another.
It was just yesterday I saw another great step, Nigerian super heroes developed by a media team baesd in Lagos. Then I guess, we could start our own Game studies in our higher institutions with all these.

Features: REWRITING THE PAGES OF ISIDIORE OKPEWHO (For Isidiore Okpewho 1941-2016) By Badiru Kehinde


        It was Markus Zasak who wrote; "time will tell, I suppose, or at least these pages will". Indeed, for Isidiore, his pages have told great stories which would not elude from our memories. I remember the time I studied pages from your book; 'Oral Performance in Africa', there was a connection and innuendo which each page resonated.  The rhythms were beyond what my lips could carry and like Finnegan opined in her 'An introduction to African Oral Literature', I could feel a performance going on in my head.
        You wrote those pages from a chain of words which would later touch , reach, preach, inspire, reawaken the literary giants in our hearts and create more literary converts. I think. Did I just say think? I meant know, pardon me.  I know I am one of those who wished to meet you personally sometime in life and talk to your muse and not just the meetings we have had consistently on your pages and letters which the forest of letters would miss now that you are gone. Days ago, your death was announced and it shook the literary world. Even Osundare lamented, "a great tree has fallen in our forest of letters". You therefore leave us with tender moments and reverberating sounds.
       Your words and pages showed and proved that you were a literary titan and not merely a voice in African Literature and literary studies. In order for the younger generation to remember their ancestry, history, and rich indigenous traditions, he wrote and contributed immensely to literatures in African Oral Literature particularly placing emphasis on the oral loves and the nuances it leaves on our heartthrobs. Isidiore was a novelist, poet, literary scholar, folklorist, linguist, anthropologist amongst other titles my small words would not be able to capture. Indeed, he has performed his last duty, however, I want you to know that the tides were unfair to have taken you now. If only words could bring you back. Well, that may seem all impossible but possible in our heads and hearts and on the pages you wrote. Today, I call you by your rightful  name, Isidiore Okpewho.
        Someone wrote; 'for the mind that knows is the mind that is free'. You knew and now you are free from the storms and sad songs of this season. The younger generation can only but rewrite the pages you wrote because it still lingers in our hearts. Our minds strole in your erudition and there is a place you left us all in. We will meet you in the forest of letters when it is time. But for now, let us get a gourd of palm wine, get a pen and rewrite the pages of Isidiore Okpewho and chant his praise in Osundare's market place.



For Isidiore Okpewho (1941-2016)
He is survived by his wife, Obiageli, his children: Ediru, Ugo and Onome.

THE NIGER DELTA AVENGERS, THREAT TO PEACE, & THE FIGHT FOR FREEDOM ----Badiru Kehinde...

The Niger Delta region of Nigeria without much doubt remains one of the major source of Nigeria's national income, however, the region, the communities in it and surrounding it have been victims of penury, struggle for emancipation from the exploitation and oppression of the Multinational Corporations like Shell, Shevron, Agip and so much more. We are all familiar with the pioneers of this struggle; Ken Saro Wiwa and how he was murdered unjustly. Recently, these struggles have been ignited once again even though there were several amnesty deals sometime ago.
Nigerians are witnessing a great fear even now that there is a great tension and criticism following the recent trip and even more recent of the nation's president, Muhammed Buhari to London over the treatment of his infected ear. Fear and threat to peace have not just engulfed the pages of newspapers but also on the minds of Nigerians especially over the Niger Delta Avengers. About 2 days ago, the spokesperson for the militant group published a report concerning threat to launch missles to major structures and institutions of the country.

Avengers’ missiles which reportedly will be kicking off if the Niger Delta Agitators should fail to fulfil their promises is indeed a great shock. Citizens are the most afraid. The group therefore said that its targets are as follows;
1. State House, Villa- Abuja
2. Defence Headquarters
3. Police Headquarters
4. National Assembly
5. NNPC Towers
6. Central Bank Of Nigeria
7. Agip

The nation is currently in a whirlpool of misery, from increased level of unemployment to fall in educational standard, for instance Oyo state's threat to privatise all public schools, also increase in expenses and the growing inflationary rate of the nation's currency. What is the way forward as even the country's head is away and issues are boiling up?...

7 ways to be fulfilled in your musical career


Many atimes we complain of not getting immense fulfilment in our chosen field or career whatsoever, blaming it on one reason or the other. It's pertinent to know that anything that doesn't bring fulfilment is not worth doing. Here in are 7 ways to be fulfilled in that musical career you so cherish. I decided to write this as many people seek this but seem not to find it. I do hope you enjoy this;

1) ESTABLISH YOUR PARTICULAR FIELD: This is often the first thing that must be done. You can't sow beans and expect to harvest nuts though they are both legumes. The field of music is so wide and open for any sub-field you can ever think of. You must first decide what you want to do; singing, instrumentation, producing, mentorship, vocal coaching etc. This can be determined by where your interest lies in.

2) START WITH SOMETHING NO MATTER HOW SMALL: After you have established the context or particular field you want to venture into, next is to start with something. You may notice that you love singing or have passion for one instrument but don't know how to sing like the songsters you've admired on TV or the professional instrumentalists you've watched or heard play, however, you have to start no matter how shitty it appears. Know that big things are started small.

3) BE COMMITTED TO TAKE RISKS: Music is something that is very tasking and onerous. If you want to succeed musically, you must be ready to endure the pain of rehearsals, singing and vocal tutorials or practices. If it's about learning a particular instrument, it can be very frustrating at the very beginning (novice stage) but you must not give up, keep rehearsing, keep singing even though you have one of the worst voice. Soon it'll be the best on air. *smile* Keep trying out new things.

4) FIND A MUSICAL GROUP OR BAND TO JOIN: Music is something that is people geared, that is, it becomes very much interesting, exciting and revealing with the number of people involved. There are so much musical groups you could join for a start, it could be choir groups, acapella groups, musical bands, group of other instrumentalists and what have you. It does helps as you'll get to meet other people in your field of music or instrument who have a wealth of experience more than you do and can put you through. It also helps you to discover new music cheats via gigs and mashing up. ..mmmmmm

5) GET A MENTOR IN YOUR FIELD: A mentor is not just anyone who does what you do but someone who you can be respobsible to you, someone who want to see you be become better than he/she is in the musical field. A mentor could be your church's musical director, choir cordinator, vocal coach , school music teacher, lecturers of music in higher institutions and what have you. The role of a mentor is that which Jesus palyed upon his disciples, he/she will give you reasons to move on, even in times when you feel like giving up. A mentor is someone You can easily access i.e close by. This is what differentiate a mentor from a role model. For those aiming to hit the highest notes and adlib like anything else, Kim Burrel can be your role model but you need a mentor.

6) BE READY TO FACE DISAPPOINTMENTS: There's a Yoruba proverb that says that the coal pot that wants to eat stew must be ready to get its back grilled hot. LoL. I must confess to you, if you've not faced any form of disappointment from people, colleagues or friends who would never believe in your ability or what you do, then it's not worth doing. You must no matter what not stop because of them, they really need to see you become that musical success they never believed you'll ever become. Imagine a scenario where you are singing and zap the mike is collected from you, it shouldn't stop you from singing the more. In one ocassion, I could remember sometime in my life, I was trying to hit a chord on the keyboard and ooops it was the wrong one or imagine being stucked on a different key signature as a singer different from the one the instrumentation is giving.

7) LET YOUR MUSIC BE GOD DRIVEN: Remember that anything outside God doesn't last long and is devoid of fulfilment. Remember David, our harp player in the bible and how through music he was used by God. You can be used too. You can sing, play the instrument and people will run to Jesus. Never play the instrument without ministering to yourself even before others. Be purpose driven and God inspiring as this is the way to derive fulfillment in your chosen musical career.

These few steps if carried out can mean a lot to your musical career, I do hope this helps. This is just one way I want to reach out to others in my field who I feel may need this. Thanks for reading and don't forget to share.

"Don't deprive Yourself of HAPINESS while trying to Satisfy People"
.
.
.
I really have issues with people who inflict inconvenience upon themselves while trying to satisfy people.True, it pays to help people, however, not people who only call, chat, text or ping you when they need you.

Life teaches us lessons that the best some people would be are 'friends in benefit' or part-time friends who perch wherever they can suck nectar.

They are not worth your time, stress, sacrifice. Don't kill yourself trying to satisfy people who on a normal day don't care if you exist. They don't need you, they are after what they know you can give them. Don't get carried away, don't deprive yourself of your own hapiness while trying to please others.
