| Poems For Review › Starless Nights by olakan22(op): 9:18pm On Jun 25, 2017 |
STARLESS NIGHT The blue sky fly away Taking its time, not in haste The sun goes to sleep In a hole monstrously deep The darkness fill the earth Swallowing whole what light is left For tonight is a starless night The crickets chirp in fear From tiny holes their cuticles can’t bear The frogs croak in terror From ponds where dark water pours The cockerels lay awake Not daring on their belly to lay For the night is a starless night See the tears of wise old men Rich in tactics of life and death Young men drop down weak Their strength down their groins leak Great tributaries down the cheeks of infants flow As they watch their limbs refuse to grow At the same time their mothers paced like hunting dogs Wailing and tearing as they are engulfed in the dark fog On the starless night When the night is nigh, men often go to families Their souls they deceive to rest Deep in shallow seconds of fleeing joys But it will not be tonight For the world’s low has turned crest So men stay awake hoping for dawn As they pray to survive the starless night Men's hearts in pieces burst And their souls are disturbed The blades keep coming The turbulent they not sparing Men as they bleed to death looked up and found dark And beheld the dead stars The moon is lost For tonight is a starless night Creation waits for the night to pass The cockerels stand on their feet With the sound almost on their beaks Men perch on their stools Their finger nails dug in their hard palms Waiting for time to pass And for the sun to rise It shall happen soon The starless night shall be behind. |

Tonitelli:clap for yourself. But I can't find 'replacement for retiring judges', not in OP's post, not through the link provided. So be intelligent to give evidence showing that the newly appointed judges are replacements for the 'retiring' judges and not for the arrested ones...then we'll take it from there. Before then, enjoy your day |
| Politics › Re: Buhari Seeks Senates Confirmation Of Two Supreme Court Justices by olakan22: 4:46pm On Oct 11, 2016 |
Simple thing. These are Buhari's replacement for the ones he arrested. Whether found guilty or otherwise (which won't happen), the embattled Judges would go. In the long run, Buhari wasn't prosecuting 'corrupt' judges. No. He was trying to bring in judges who would suit his purposes. And he's finally succeeded. But as usual, some of you will hail the appointment and even qoute me. But I beg you if you'd spit nonsense, don't bother o. If you do, you'll get to know who a full blooded Ogbomoso man is. Walai. |

Sirrexninefour:listen to yourself. You think revolution is when some rogue gives such appointment to one girl like that apparently as a favour or as they will say 'mutual benefits'. Is it only when youths are political office holders that they become leaders? Go to the streets, you'll a lot of youths wasting away. Because they are not senators and governor? No. Because they don't have an identity. They are nt being productive. They are not ready to rule their world. Some youths are trying though. And their likes don't hail an unfortunate appointment. |

Does God feel real to you? How? Is it personal? Something you can confidently relate to? If yes, congrats. Explain that to your lil bro. The Holy Spirit would help him believe. He'ld accept it although he might not understand because the carnal man doesn't understand the things of the spirit. When the Spirit helps him to accept, his continuous exposure to the WORD would help understand God more and more each passing day |

The ogas at the top should learn from this. This guy came and the entrepreneurs were excited. I can't imagine their excitement if the president or a top class does the same. And I'm not talking about jamborees o. I'm talking about intelligent discussions and all. Make them feel and see where they fit in the nation and not just items of campaign manifesto. It's not just about loans, some SMEs don't even require much capital all they want is a suitable environment. Is that too much to ask 3 Likes |

| Christianity Etc › Re: Most RCCG Regional Pastors Are Yorubas. In Christendom Is This Right? by olakan22: 7:35pm On Jul 14, 2016 |
From all indications, this post is biased. You're talking about RCCG in the third person and talking about Yorubas in the third person too. OP it indicates that you have a problem with ROs being Yoruba why? Because you're a typical Nigerian. It's not like they are not doing things well, it's not like they are low on character and leadership. Mbanu. It's because they are Yorubas. In the body of Christ, there should be no feeling of insecurity whoever is ur leader is ur leader. So Op is a typical Nigerian in that we're all afraid of where our leaders come from. The other time it was 'the southerners that had the nation in their hand' today, 'the north is running an agenda of itself'. Outside Jesus, there's no real sense of security. You wanna be joyful and live in absolute peace, try Jesus! 8 Likes |

FOUR and FINAL! For the first time that day, I laughed. Seven o three. I took the final three steps to my classroom and for the third time that day more than I'd felt, I knew something wasn't right. But what? I knocked and opened the door, I gasped. The room was virtually empty. No Tiger, no student. What was off? I'd tried to analyze it and came up with two things. One Tiger's reputation and two a student's prank. Tiger had a reputation for being a good handler but more than that, he was highly disciplined and wasn't easily compromised. Tiger kept his word and is respectable. Though he can beat, no student had had less than C six in English in both WASSCE and NECO SSCE in the past years that he'd been the final year students' handler. I'd thought He's a psychologist or something. He had said something about extra classes when the term started. I dropped my back pack on a table and thought. 'for this term no extra classes, if there would be, I'd take you in the afternoon...' that was it! So the first option was out and it dawned on me. Someone's playing a prank on me! Me, Foluke Cole! They'd pay for this. I pulled my phone from my bag and switched the device on. As I wait for its booting, I thought about how I got here. I had seen a message indicating Tiger's class, I'd woken up, said my prayers and told Dad about the class. No sweetie, he wouldn't take me. I didn't tell him before and he didn't schedule it. He had offered to put in a word with Bro Olatunji (Tiger's a usher in my church, Dad calls him Bro like a lot of peopld do- in church) I said no, I didn't want to be that spoilt brat always depending on her parents. I'd taken my bath dressed up and gone out. I tapped the whatsapp icon and couldn't wait to see it. I found the message I was looking for and I sat on a chair, I'd suddenly felt more cold. The class was for SS2 students and the poster had rebroadcasted it- in a SS3 group. I wanted to strangle him but I didn't know him. Not by his profile name and d.p, the group's admin would hear this. I was angry and bitter, I had raised my hand and banged the table with deep annoyance but was replied with the shattering of glass. The precious watch was broken. I was deflated and I sat for five minutes deciding on what to do- clean up my uniform, wash up and grab a meal at the boarding house. I picked my watch's fragments and poured them in my bag, I made to move but my woes increased by one. My sandal had torn! I checked and sighed. With no watch, a dirty uniform, an unmade-up face and a broken sandals, I did one thing I rarely did- I cried. |
