Lifestyle of a street Urchin


(Jigsawkillah)
Woke up on the cold cement floor hungry
The worms in my tummy are on rampage

Been walking around the town since morning
Not a single penny could I savage

Didn't know dad, my guess, he is lazy
Left mom to raise me, from her petty shop

Why won't she reap the fruit of her baby?
Cancer is eating her, God make it stop

I took fate in my hands, she mustn't die
She must get treated, that I must achieve

Life taught me the hard way, never to cry
Churches taught me, in humans, don't believe

She made sacrifices, time for pay back
I'd give my life, to see her well at last

(Philtrum)
The Horn of the Car
That drove past,quickens My mind
Of my fantasies
But I do not have a place
To call home or lay My Head.

Farther and further
I will run forward to catch
My dreams without fear.

Health / Are E-cigarettes Truly The Solution? by philtrum(m): 12:09pm On Nov 15, 2014
Since the 1800s, tobacco usage has been popular. Some chewed it, others smoked it in pipes while some rolled it into Cigarettes.

By the 1940s, up to 300million cigarettes were commercially produced per year. Health experts have been frowning at Cigarette usage since it has been linked to several diseases (cancer being only one of
many) and a lot of preventable deaths. For this reason, smoking cessation has been a top priority in public health.

One of the methods of smoking cessation is the use of nicotine replacement therapy such as nicotine patches and chewing gums that still deliver the addictive component of cigarettes (nicotine) but prevent exposure to the tobacco smoke.

The quest for tobacco free smoke led to the development of E-cigarette by a Chinese Pharmacist in 2003. The earlier versions look like traditional cigarettes but do not contain any tobacco. Newer versions look like pen sticks. They usually have nicotine and some flavorings dissolved in ethylene glycol. The E cigarette stick has a heating element that converts the solution to vapour that looks like the smoke which the individual inhales. E-cigarette usage is also known as “Vaping” because essentially it is the vapour that the patient is inhaling.

Since E-cigarettes have been sold commercially, sales have skyrocketed dramatically and even well-established
Tobacco companies are moving to producing their own E-cigarette brands.

Majority of people that use E-cigarettes are smokers. A huge share of people that also use it are Ex-smokers. Another fraction of users that is gradually becoming significant are younger individuals who use it for recreational purposes especially in developed countries.

Nowadays there are even gatherings of teens and youths that refer to themselves as cloud-chasers or the vaping community, that meet regularly to use E-cigarettes in
congregations.

E-cigarette use is not yet popular in Nigeria but is gradually being introduced as major Nigerian online retail websites have now added E-cigarettes to their inventory.

There is still a lot of debate amongst health experts in favour of and against the usage of E-cigarettes.

On the good side, E- cigarettes have a huge potential of reducing tobacco usage significantly and thereby reduce the number of deaths and diseases associated with tobacco smoking. It also reduces the potential of environmental pollution and exposure to second hand smoke caused by traditional tobacco cigarettes.

On the other hand, Nicotine itself is addictive, and nicotine is known to damage blood vessels and affect the heart. When an addicted individual tries to stop its usage,
he/she experiences withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, restlessness or depression hence making it difficult to stop using it.

Another drawback is the possibility that E-cigarette usage would also help to maintain the traditional cigarette industry as individuals that use E-cigarettes would still
use tobacco cigarettes occasionally. Hence the progress made so far in eliminating the tobacco industry and its propagation through adverts may be lost.

Most worrisome is the wide acceptance of E-cigarettes amongst teens and youth especially those that would never have smoked tobacco cigarettes. The sweet flavourings even make it more appealing to this generation. The potential with this is the creation of a nicotine-hooked or nicotine dependent generation.

Many national drug agencies have however concluded that enough research has not been carried on the safety of E-cigarettes hence recommended that its sale should be regulated until even evidence is out concerning its safety or otherwise.

So here’s my take on E-cigarettes:

If you have been smoking Tobacco cigarettes, E-cigarettes may be a safer alternative, however the best option would be to stop smoking.

For ex-smokers or non-smokers, I would strongly advise you do not start using E-cigarettes as they have not been shown to be safe or confer any health benefit. If in the nearest future an adverse effect is linked with usage of E-cigarettes, you’d be glad you stayed safe rather than sorry.

So what do you think about the E-cigarettes?
Would like to hear from you.

Swinging Door

Swinging door, precious as diamond
Thy frame strong, of the tree of almond
Happy door with a modern trim
Swinging door, swing Frim

Swinging door, swing slow
Swing still do not close
Indulge my soul
Swing steady and slow

Swinging door! Swing open
To the side of the good
To the room aiidy filled with gold
One that's not taken and still open

Swinging door, fail not
Swinging door, open north
Not to drought
Drought is not what I sought

Swinging door,
Suffer not my strength
To Strain and stretch
Ease my rest

Swinging door, show forth tomorrow
Close down on sorrow
Let it drown in thine river
Let me start over

Contestant3: jigsawkillah and Philtrum

SEPARATE WORLDS
Philtrum:
I lay my head in motels
Where the doors don't close
And they are always out of towels.

Jigsawkillah:
It's the best I Deal with
If it ain't internationally known
The hotel doesn't worth me.

Philtrum:
Hard working for a mean Boss
So I jump out of bed daily
That I may catch a 4am bus.

Jigsawkillah
Bossing hundreds of workers
Why stress myself?
The appointment, maybe later.

Philtrum:
I'm worth only half His salary
He gets a girl like Marieolae
Feeling like the son of Anarchy.

Jigsawkillah:
Beauty goes with money
No food for lazy men
He looks like he's hungry.

Philtrum:
Can't go back to Ana
She stays down the 23rd jump street
She only wants a loan for her father.

Jigsawkillah:
Marieolae is back for me
She's Miss Independent
She has her own money.

Philtrum:
I squirm in pain in silence,
Pick my Quill and my scroll,
To Take note of my existence.

Jigsawkillah:
My picture is all over the media
I can pretend to be sad
But I've never been happier.

Philtrum:
I'll use my quill like a quiver,
When I'm most scared, depressed
And my tears flow like a river.

Jigsawkillah:
I'll use my quill to note my plans
And write long and short verses
at least, That makes me feel human.

Sports / Re: Keshi Returns by philtrum(m): 3:46pm On Nov 08, 2014
JigsawKillah:
It seems that Nigeria have
not heard the last of coach
Stephen Keshi as he is set
to return to his role in
charge of the Super Eagles
for next month’s pair of
qualifiers against Congo and South Africa.

On Thursday morning, media officer of the Super
Eagles, Toyin Ibitoye tweeted that Keshi is set to
return to his job.

Keshi Returns as @NGSuperEagles Coach.
— Toyin Ibitoye (@ToyinIbitoye) October 30,
2014

Goal findings revealed that Keshi has been asked to
return to his post as part of reconciliatory moves in
the Nigeria Football Federation as ordered by
President Goodluck Jonathan.

The President has also asked the faction of Chris
Giwa to withdraw its case from court to ensure that
Nigeria is not banned by Fifa.

The NFF is yet to release any official statement.
Keshi was relieved of his job on October 16, a day
after the Super Eagles defeated Sudan 3-1 in Abuja,
by the Amaju Pinnick-led board of the NFF who re-
called former coach Shaibu Amodu in an interim
capacity.

The African champions had struggled to win just
one in four qualifying matches and fans had begun
to call for the coach’s sack.

However, the Giwa-led faction had always
maintained Keshi was still in charge despite the Big
Boss having spoken about intentions to lead the
Ghanaian national side, a fact that the GFA has
now ruled out.

The 52-year-old will now be in charge for the
must-win pair of qualifiers next month. Nigeria are
yet to announce their squad.

The Super Eagles have four points and are behind
South Africa (eight points), Congo (seven points)
but ahead of Sudan (three points) in Group A.
