Designer: Lightheart Why I chose this topic I didn’t pick this topic, it chose me. It was a topic I could actually relate too, it somewhat defines me. Unique experience derived from working with a designer It was an exciting experience all the way especially the number of times we disagreed before finally picking this design. A lot of work went into it on my side now I can’t begin to image how much work he must have put in to get something that we could work with… THIS! It also gives me this unique pleasure that poetry and pictures could actually go side by side (been toying with this idea for a long time now with a photographer). It’s so amazing Constraints involved in working in a team First, getting a designer was almost nightmarish. Then having a to wait on LightHeart to come up with a design was quite a wait and when they started to come in and at first they did not fully interpret the poem adequately, I knew I was going to get on my designer’s nerves, but it turned out right because he was patient all the way and like a sponge, absorbed ideas we both could come up with. Not having to see who I was working it made it a lot difficult to accomplish… but we did, somewhat. The poem. My Alter Ego is a very simple poem that brings to the fore the complexity of the human personality and the perceived societal view, acceptable or unacceptable, of who one is. Most times we tend to want to conform to what society thinks of us that our true self is hidden. Sometimes we are thought to be good but our true devious nature will have to remain hidden as such and vice versa. But what if our true self is laid out bare…? So this poem is just about me and the society’s view of who I am. Overtime I have been told I am a nice person, but I try to explain that I have a not to nice side, which they find hard to believe, well not until they actually see it. So it is more or less a borderline split personality phenomenon, but not to the extreme, as I am aware of the other me. This is a 4-lined 5-stanza poem, written in the most simplest of literary styles The most prominent literary tools employed here is rhymes. It possesses a rich rhyming scheme that is easy to follow and at the same time holds on spell bound till the end, i.e.: An-gel, so well; offer, proffer (stanza 1), be, me; good, do (stanza 2), good, goo; be, me (stanza 3), red, dead; head, read(stanza4), Angel, well; jewel, Angel (stanza 5). Stanza 1 opens with me trying to describe who I am not, despite the visible outlook portrayed to people around me, probably because of a helpful and charming personality I may possess. Stanza 2 continues with what people do not know about me, a totally different personality from what they see and know “Repressed by what is believed to be good” In Stanza 3 I concede to societal perception of me being an Angel, but will have the option to decide the type of ‘…ANGEL that will be me’, agreeing that though I am not a good person, I am certainly not evil. Stanza 4 just describes the kind of angel that I am, certainly not one society will want to accept “…as it will leave you so dead” Stanza 5 presents the real me to the world, the one they will most often not see, because it is ”repressed by what is believed to be good”, My Alter Ego and my best friend. Should they then come to see it, then they should see that I am a Devilish Angel. The design: The design by Lightheart is in all way a very simplistic design, just as the poem itself is simple. The little devil is a depiction of the deviousness of My Alter Ego, it’s not so good and not evil nature. We chose a little devil because it extemporizes the very essence of the poem itself. Surely, the little imp looks adorable but the deviousness cannot go unnoticed. The cute little horns (…to adorn my head), the fork (…to go with the fancy tales you have read), a tail (…so long it will leave you so dead) and the colour red (…cloaked in the colour of red) are all depicted in the poem in stanza 4, thus making it the perfect design. It, being the cover picture of a book, denotes like every other book; that it should be read to be understood and appreciated. As such, to know me better, one has to come to terms with my alter ego, by taking the time to study me. Terminologies Goo: A slimy, yet harmless substance. Mien: An attitude portrayed by a person. Cloaked: To be covered or dressed The Message Despite society's pressure to comform to certain ways, we just have to come to terms with who we really are, just so we do not lose our real personality. 1 Like |

Number 19 My Alter Ego Certainly, I am no Angel, Though a graceful mien I carry so well, A helping hand I'll offer, Solutions to problems to proffer. So an Angel, I am thought to be, If only they know the other side of me. Repressed by what is believed to be good, Oh! Those things I do yearn to do. Not evil, yet not good, Just as a babe playing with goo. But if for you an Angel I must be, Then I'll choose the Angel that will be me. Surely, I'll be cloaked in the colour of red, With a tail so long, it will leave you so dead, Cute little horns will adorn my head, And a fork to go with the fancy tales you have read. Now that will be my kind of Angel, One that is sure to shock you as well, My Alter Ego, my best friend like a jewel, Oh! Just call me your Devilish Angel Jadelord © 2 Likes

#40 CRAVING!!! Craving!!! A heart's desire Fitted with wings To soar with passion re-fired Craving!!! Of wanton lusting Greed pitted against reason And conscience lost to treachery Craving!!! A soul's longing For love and peace, yet bidding For all of the eartn's belonging Craving!!! An endless wanting Ceaselessly consuming Till everything is nothing Craving!!! A careless demanding Roots forever sucking Till death overtakes living Craving!!! Truly a heart's desire With wanton wanting Till the grave to retire 2 Likes |

Sports / Re: Nigeria Vs Uruguay - Player Rating by jadelord(m): 11:31am On Jun 21, 2013 |
Apart from d goal dat Mikel scored, which was a class, he did nothing to help d team move forward... held on to d ball unnecessarily m not watchin d runs of his men.... for crying out loud did he give d kind of service that lead to him scoring dat magnificient goal? Isnt hr suppose to be among d best passer of d ball in the premier league? Musa, for all ur criticism, was d one player who put fear in d heart of the uruguayan defense. He cant do it alone, his passes had good intention but lacked precision. dont b hard on him. |

It baffles me that we as Nigerians av remained sectional in reasoning rather that nationalistic. Sometimes i wonder if there is, in all honesty, an entity called Nigeria. I don't mean in geographical sense, but ideologically. we are different people and nationalities in on geographical capsule who deserve at least d barenecesities of life... the question is do we? if we don't why are we afraid of change? please lets be objective in our critisms n praises of our political players cos we deserve d best and note we are also deserving of d leaders we get. |

Politics / Re: Nuhu Ribadu Picks Dr. Sunny Ugochukwu As His Running Mate #acn #nigeria2011 by jadelord(m): 11:01am On Feb 03, 2011 |
It is so shocking that a lots of you all can be saying this, I read ur posts and comment concerning this forth coming elections and I seem to wonder if it is the same Nigeria we all live in, Are we really seeking a change or a continuation of 12 yrs draconian governance meted upon us all by the PDP? Lets take a better look at our future lest we sell it cheap for life, we are deserving of the leaders we get. I really do not know Sunny Ugochukwu, but why don't we take time out to research his personality, who says green horn don't turn to to be the talk of the show? |
