Education › The Travails Of Living On And Off Campus. Recount Your Experience(s)! by Linusclark(op): 1:29am On Oct 15, 2013

Good morning great Nigerian students, if you will observe closely, you will discover that not much has been written to capture the unremitting sufferings of students who live on campus and off campus.
For some schools which are residential, their hostels are usually old, decrepit and cramped. Some stay 6-7 in a room.
For people who live off-campus, some of them still live in the dread of muggings, burglary, pilfering, exorbitant prices,cultist attacks, etc. Another major issue is "absentee landlordism" - landlords leaving far from these off-campus apartments leaving behind caretakers who give no ear to the tenants complains.
In all honesty, I've read stories in national dailies about this issue, but these stories only give an overview of the entire picture.
I have taken it as a duty to visit schools and capture the sufferings of students, but the recent strike embarked by ASUP has stifled by investigations.
I'd be glad if you can fill me in on what the situation is like in your school.
Please don't resort to insults and derogatory remarks. Be sincere, be honest, eschew embellisments, just stick to facts.

Literature › Re: What's Your Favorite Novel Of All Time? by Linusclark(m): 12:40pm On Jan 22, 2013

I rarely have any best novel -- you may ask why. The reason is -- all the classics I have read are superb, but I thinh I enjoyed Things Eall Apart and 1984 by GEorge Orwell.

Christianity Etc › Religion And Ethnicity: A Critique by Linusclark(op): 8:55pm On Dec 21, 2012

It has been argued that religion and ethnicity are at the core of the banes that have a firm stranglehold on meaningful development in Nigeria.
I see Religion as a tool for national development, not a tool for destruction.
Tell me, is religion and ethnicity the worst problem of Nigeria?

Poems For Review › Re: Forsake Me Not by Linusclark(m): 7:56pm On Aug 16, 2012

Nicely done. Your poem doesn't love contrived; the rythmic flow of sounds made it simple and easy to decipher... Besides, the enjabment is also an added advantage... Good work!

Romance › Re: Can You Do Anything For LOVE? by Linusclark(m): 8:03pm On Aug 10, 2012

Yes, one can do "anything" for the sake of love. However, it depends on the type of perception the lovebirds have. If one truly loves his spouse, and they love they have for each other is strong like a preordined love they can take any risk worth taking.."Love can make you do strange things"(to quote William Shakespeare).

Poems For Review › Loving And Caring Makes Us Humans. by Linusclark(op): 8:26am On Jul 20, 2012*

See how beautiful the new day looks,

staring moodly at the sky, I weep,

our world is not good for anybody

yet we desire to live forever.

Greediness has beclouded our sense of reasoning,

Selfishness reeked in our thoughts,

Togetherness has gone stale,

and love, love has been intertwined in the bloody stream of hatred
and the world-weiry river of poverty.

Our world is surely coming to an end,

abruptly will the end appear.

We must learn to love and care,
for love abounds in our hearts.
Caring and loving brings joy to the world-weary faces of the oppressed,
and that makes us sleep in the boundless stream of togetherness,
then we shall glow like a stream of flowing metal.

Loving and caring will make the world a haven of serenity and brotherhood.

Poems For Review › Re: What Are Your Thoughts On This? by Linusclark(m): 11:43pm On Jul 10, 2012

Cool. However, it stands to reason that a poem with dull imagery, and not spiced with a string of figurative language will rather be ineffectual. Keep it up!

Poems For Review › Re: Nigeria by Linusclark(m): 11:37pm On Jul 10, 2012

Cool. Good work, but rather too prosaic. However, the poem is neither obstrusive nor esoteric, hence the ideas are discernible. Cheers!

Poems For Review › Re: I Am A Poet by Linusclark(m): 11:32pm On Jul 10, 2012

Nice...but to be blunt, for you to be taken as a serious writer, you must be learn to make your poems have an obvious symmetry. Orderliness can be attained when there is an easy flow of rythm and ryhme in a poem. Especially rhyme, it enhances the harmony,chronology, lyricism and the beauty of a poem. Your ryhmes are quite good, but looks rather like that of nursery rhymes. Good work!

Literature › Time by Linusclark(op): 10:24am On May 02, 2012

In the morning,
I was a frisky boy
and I played with a toy,
I wasted much time on frivolities,
but I knew that discretion was the better part of valour,
I knew one day,I shall be a bullish bard,
because poetry was my best winning card.

In the afternoön,
I was a celebrated bard,
because I worked hard:
I worked like a Trojan;
I wrote sweet songs that won me plaudits,
but I knew one day,I shall die!
O God! Like a bone I shall dry!

In the evening,
I was in a mood of cautious optimism,
but was thrown into a mood of helpless pessimism
when Death came upon me like a ton of bricks.
O Death! Thou obscurantist,must I go with you?
O truth is stranger than fiction!
I accepted my freaky fate:
and walked with Death through the golden gate.

Literature › Sorrow by Linusclark(op): 12:20am On Apr 29, 2012

The tears of frustration in our faces can no longer endure obscurity,

The pains in our hearts will always bucket down like the rain,
The whiffs of fear surging through us must continue unabated,
Unless thou Pharoahs of Egypt whose political savvy is nothing as opposed to a toy, make our nation a haven for

Peace

Equity

Love

Unity

And brotherhood.

Nigeria as a dove,should glow in the face of darkness but thou Pharoahs had made it 2 remain in everlasting darkness!

Oh Pharoahs! Puffed up with pride,must we continue 2 dance 2 thy every whim?
