Like i promised earlier to be pasting some short stories to keep the fun, here is a piece to start with.

A letter to Our Leaders
Dearest in spirit,
give me a low sit...give me a few minutes of your precious time.
I want to tell you what i feel like...my plight. We all know it is time for another change. A change for better. It is time for another twist...a positive change, it must be. Looking back into era of our silent co-existence, you have bethrayed me...used us for a fool.
Here comes another era, and you needs our blessing, support and trust ones more. Yes, we kept you there and made you lead us. Now, it is ovious you neither think nor bother of how we, 'the soul feel', am beating my chest here, you have been treating us just by matter of accidental occurence to you. Like a man waking up from a bad dream, you jack's up and remember we the soul (the masses exist). At several interval you fail to recognize and admit that we existed. It is time for a change.
Drastic one!!.
Back in those days, we sat in this same position...round this same table discusing way forward. But when you got throwned unto the throne, you have failed to confess to those conferences that gave a lifefully body for your covering. Just like the last supper conference, you sat readily for a crown...imagin! A crown from us. We made you sit at the kings sit. At the central ready to make and implement manifestoes. The power said, was in our hands. The beguile intelligent of your smile, happilly stole away our power. We! Yes, listen, we here, gave it to you, The power to lead us, unite, to co-ordinate and pronounce our future and visions for us. But now, you crown makers are skulled, your followers and supporters have been skeletized and made laid six-fit below the sea level. Oh! Your own soul have been out of clothen. The mind can die many times but the soul remains. We have been here era to era, but you, the mind, has been buried seventy-seven times seven times. The wealth, you, the Mind is busy gathering will never and will not follow you to hell. I, Soul, have been forsaked, rejected and neglected. In hell, that same body covering we gave you, that you have been busy greasing shall bring you pains from burns. Look, we are king makers. The soul never dies. We continue to sit round this table to anoint you.....soldomly, i am telling you that in few hundred years, the Soul shall be free from this satanic governing. Either by a stop to existence or by enthronement by the corner stone. Let me put it clear to you. The soul will in a matter of time work seperately from the mind and body. And when this time invades like a thief into this circuit, Mind will lead himself and the soul shall lead the leadway. We the soul of this reign as been killed. Stabbed at our navel in our own bunch, for just the pleasure the body that we gave you as covering demands. Look at your right. Conscience crys 'is it right to do this...that?'....Taught is over there beating and speaking loud in full energy, 'think, tink, think'....silence and you will hear Mrs Volition supporting our quest, she is the only person that can say if you the Mind has the will or power to do or put an end to....

The world best writing school is another writers' good work.



As time goes by, i wil be sharing with you all 'how to write A THRILLING STORY,i will be Pasting here some stories to keep the fun.

I will be expecting stories from followers also, from Interested contemporary writers with passion for adventures.

In lieu of recruiting Nigeria's first adventure writers' team to be registered under Young Authors of Nigeria as a separate entity. (this great team is going to be the first of its kind)


My vision is to have a vibrant team to change the course of the nigeria literary act to a standard world class taste.

I will be selecting sound and passionate writers as time goes by, at a dawn of all, i will come up with a plot of a contemporary adventure that we all are to develop into sound adventurer story. through the use of our emails.

That is not all...i would like our stories to be turned into script and acted into a movie.

meaning, this potential team is not only for writers, but actors and actoress as well as publishers and talented movie production crew.
Nigerians can make a movie better than Harry Potter, Merlin and the rest...believe in this movement.

Its a call for all.

Indicate your area of interest, don't drop email here, i will be sending you a P.M massage through the email you provided to nairaland, if you are selected.

Kai Mtn una no try at all. wel it is what it is, i ve put my points accros, but my chioce of words was bad. Gowon, ojukwu na ur brother is jux dat what u drafted cant b called a constitution. Like i said 'association' and 'organisation' used interchangeably in a legal context is flaw to d sight of legal learned bulldozer. To prove my point goto http://le.utah.gov/documents/LDM/draftingManual.html and check out were consistency of words was treated wel please u and everybody should check dat website above and giv me d feedback. Incase u co.me accross any Nigerian Legal Method check out for this topic, legal reasoning in legislation, if u coo.me accros d 1 edited by Abiola Sanni check page 208, consistency of terms is very important. Goto any library u wil find d book.

I respected d draft, i tuwaled to ur efforts...but it wil b an insult to me if i don't restructure d draft into a legal taste. I agree wit u, dat my grammers may b wrong, but i expected u to do justice to it, jux like i did d legal expect of d justice to d formal draft. Lol, simple. Well peaceworld like i said, my chioce of words in the correction was bad, but my point is, d constitution is a per incuriam to learned colleques. joor, @peaceworld, i dnt attack u, but u always fail to understand me. Am i 1 of my kind? I love u. Am sowi dear, if my correction is an aberration to ur persons. Am sowi. Now i jux finished my last work emyo answers to peaceworld FEAR- to whom it concerns. its a wikiliki. Lol. Now, i didnt use my kind of words or expression of dismay but like i said, it is a sweet wikiliki capable likiliki frm N.L day 1, and Whatsapp Genesis. Lol. The types of collins fun time again. Make una retain arms 4 election proces o...so we have u al since, na when uselex kazala bust una wa b spectator go turn cometator. Hahaha talk election.

The following names are pioneers in this association.
Eke Christiana
Emma Ogiri C.
Ukachukwu Chidube George
Phoebe IkechukwuSamuel Ugbechie

21

Peaceworld: k. Annual General Assembly means the associations main summit holds ones within the period of twelve months

even M.S word will underline such expression.
It is...
K. Annual General Assembly means the association's summit. Which holds ones within the period of twelve months.
22.

Peaceworld: see functions thereafter

copy cat, were is the functions to see...
23.

Peaceworld: k. Annual General Assembly

Peaceworld: c. To summon, at any time, a General Meeting of The Association

Copy cat, see phrasal inconsistency, always using differanted phrase to mean same expression in legal draft is abysmal,
24

Peaceworld: d. Honorary membership shall be extended to individuals subject to members' approval at....

na members d approve honorary members? What is the voting percentage. Ambiquity.
25.

Peaceworld: -also the association's website

is - a section? How do i quote a sign?
26.

Peaceworld: 3.3 any member may resign from the association by giving one month notice

Absurd. Who is 'any member'? What is the 'force' or how do we collect how wat is within d 'any member' possesion, cuz i knw post holder d o.
27.

Peaceworld: 4.1....the board of management shall have the power to do all things....except such matters as are required by this constitution

This is a luphole, the board of management no co.me get limitation of power, coz 4.1 didnt state it out.
28

Peaceworld: c. To summon, at any time, a General Meeting of the Association.

make una c lacuna o. What was the defination of general meeting. Now he says summon at any time..
29.

Peaceworld: d. To open banking accounts in the name of....

account or accounts.
30.

Peaceworld: c. To appoint a president to run...

31.

Peaceworld: to approve expenditure by the president for amounts not in the budget.

i cant stop laughing. Now who approves d budget, were is it written?
Read that again, and c d legal constructional blunder, the meanin of the above is that the board of management has no right or what so ever to disapprove the expenditure not in the budget.
23.

Peaceworld: Presidency....consist of the president and any such additional staff members

who are staff members. Who appoints members of the presidancy. We have.
.1. Board management.
2. Executives and again the Presidency. Hahahahaha
33

Peaceworld: c. Keeping a register of members and collecting membership subscriptions....

this is high per-incuriam, absurd. The above in the constitution na 1 of d function of d presidency, na presidency d collect subscriptions
34

Peaceworld: liasing with....attending conferences and symposia

Thank God dailynews have opened the floor again towards the betterment of yan in respect of the constitution.
I have hereby come up with what i will call 40 absurdities or sins in the proposed Yan constitution

Peaceworld: we have a draft, then you went and created a second draft

i never did created a second draft out of discrinate isolation.

Peaceworld: why shuld we ignore the draft and work on your so-called second draft?

mind you, it was your draft and not the draft now i never ignored your draft.

Peaceworld: why shouldn't we bring in your ideas u posted here into the draft rather than the other way round? Y shouldn't we improve the draft itself...?

what are you saying.
I did improve on your draft, using ideas posted here and the initiators idea compiled with those sent to our email. I expected this 2nd draft you cal

Peaceworld: your so-called second draft

to be worked upnn and sent to dailynews by peaceworld, emyo, uniqesty and all who can. Afterward sent to dailynews who wil send us d final draft b4 we al adopt it.
1

Peaceworld: 1....section thereof shall be deemed void due to the extent of such inconsistency and this constitution shall prevail

its an abysmal of legal draft, the right tin is...
If any other law, is inconsistent with the provisions of this constitution, this constitution shall prevail, and that other law shall to the extent of the inconsistency be void.
2

Peaceworld: 2.1 the name of the organisation shall be

it is an association. Where d hell is organisation from. 3

Peaceworld: 2.2.....established under the nigerian common law...

lie! What is common law. It is cooperate affairs comission Act. Then d date.
4

Peaceworld: ....a corporate body existing in its own...

the above has no connection with the section which is supposed to be talking about establishement authourity.
5

Peaceworld: .....rights over things that belong to the organisation

men, it is 'association' and not organisation, and again diz topic does not fall under section 2, which you started as the establishment authority.
6

Peaceworld: in due course the association may decide in favour....

in a constitution, you don't use the phrase 'in due course', its a legal blunder. Such can only be allowed in a memoradum of association. 'in due course' is a prograsive phrase whil has no end.
7

Peaceworld: 2. Goals....within and outside nigeria

this is a very ambigious expression. Young AUTHORS OF NIGERIAN'S goal covering even the oyibos outside nigeria enh.
8

Peaceworld: .....whether their works appeared in print or not

the word Whelther is a Vague word, which is prohibited within such legal context. Again Dailynews, wil u accept submit that have been printed-published or those that are yet to be printed.9

Peaceworld: this is nigeria's first national association established....

lie! ANA E.T.C

10

Peaceworld: especially....

this not part of the goals, the sections lacks secmentary representation as d section deviates into a memoradum of association. 11

Peaceworld: ....sharing information

Vague! dailynews which info, yan wan com share na b.b.c?.
13

Peaceworld: 2. goals

the whole of the goals were jamparked. Nobody can quote it, incase of times, when you want to refer to a particular goal, how do u do it.
Check the constitution well, i can see two section 2 in the place of Names and Goals.
13

Peaceworld: yan's mission will include the following

under what section is diz sir.
14

Peaceworld: . to promote the recognition and fair remuneration of authors

how do i qoute a dot.
15

Peaceworld: yans goals/objectives will be in two parts.

how many time do we have goals in a constitution, Dublicating Error. Say only objectives. 16

Peaceworld: long-term goals

how c.ome no short-term, we co.me d c long term.
17

Peaceworld: 6. Establish a state-of-the-art publishing outfit to help....

dailynews please be explicit about diz compound word please. Me dunno o.18
