Literature / Re: literary Explanations Of The Poem 'mother Nature' By Akanbi Zainab by Whyke141: 10:49am On May 15, 2018
Sometimes the male child becomes too broken that his lips fails to gesture to life again, his face becomes an apartment that houses death; stiffening his feet from leaving their place... Sometimes the male child is forced to keep quiet & face the travails of life all alone - silently. Why?

From birth has the male child being left all to himself in this part of the world we find ourselves in - Africa, and this has deeply eaten into our roots, sprouting termites in our society... What can be done.

This is Sanusi Emmanuel telling a tale of doom prior to his life as a boy child gradually developing into adulthood... This is no fiction.

This is a poem to reckon with and dance slowly to the tune it plays into our ears, making us leap back into the right lane of child caring.

The male child should be acknowledged as well, for the pain he bears from within unspoken can't me measured. This poem is broken just as the writer is...

Enjoy!

The sun is believed to be a god; a fighter; one who fights against darkness for our sake.

But, what if the sun advises, how would it look like? Maybe like a god telling his oracles the right way to conduct the burning incense, or a mother telling her child the right man to marry... The sun is diverse in its ways.

This is a poem of no ordinary sun, but THE GOLDEN SUN, written By Uganda born poet - Stephen Obella.

Fayemi wants to resign. Maybe necayse he won the primaries? Or maybe not.

If the reason remains because he won the just concluded primaries, then he seems to have forgotten that the coming election in July is a CLASH OF THE TITANS; WHO TAKES EKITI, HOME?

I'm sorry but this isn't the world oldest tortoise. Have you heard about Alagba of Oshogbo? The tortoise who has lived above 350 years of age & has seen 17 installations of kings there.

That is the world oldest tortoise. Thank you.

All these are flimsy excuses.

Love Transforms?

This is Ogundeji Theophilus whose mighty Pen's named; Afrophilius, telling his tale of his journey into the valley where Evil & Good resides.

The valley supports echoes; this is the product of a being whose head is a pitch for a match between resounding voices. This piece is precise.

Does love really transform? Find out, as this voice of Whyke from Nigeria tells his tale via words broken into verses & stanzas.

SAHACO:
That is the irony in life or of life (which ever way you chose to call or understand it).
When they see us (igbos) that everything we have is of our making (the shore of Africa is not on our doorstep like they South-west neither does vast unused land belongs to us like the North) they say we are too dominance.

I see sense in this...

Poet Stephen Obella debuts as Whyke's voice with his poem MAMA AFRICA.

Stephen is a Ugandan poet who lives and writes from Uganda. Mama Africa is a reflection of wars every Africa fights from within against relevancy, Inferiority Complex & Racism.

This poem is a painting of hearts on pages crying to be freed from the shackles of mind slavery.

This poem is a charge! A call to action.

Politics / When Shall Africa Attain This Level Of Freedom?l by Whyke141: 12:21pm On May 06, 2018
The 1928 general elections in Nigeria has loads of things to teach a politics and history student. It was based on the first constitution of Nigeria- Clifford constitution of 1922.

A few thousands registered to vote in Lagos and about 600 registered to vote in Calabar. Eventually 4 Nigerians were elected; 3 in Lagos and 1 in Calabar.

The bush around Enugu was probably being cleared to build a few houses for coal miners. I'm still trying to ascertain the state of Onitsha,Aba, Owerri, Abakaliki, Umuahia,Asaba,Port Harcourt,Nnewi,Awka, Nsukka ,etc at the time but one thing seems clear.

No records of anyone registering to vote in this area exist. At least I haven't seen any of such records.

Nobody joined the contest from those areas. Maybe no 21 year old male earned £100 the previous year. It was the major constitutional requirement for that election.

They appointed Rev GT Basden to represent the Igbo in the Legislative Council from 1931-1937. He was the only one with an idea of who the people are.

In some places like Enugu Ezike,they even appointed Ibrahim Adukwu, a Nupe horse trader the warrant chief. He was the only one who knew that area well.

30 years later, the story became completely different. A man from this area was winning elections in Lagos and Ibadan. A movement was being organised in his name in Kano. Another man from this same area has become the richest billionaire in Nigeria and the British was handing the army they built over to another man also from the same area.

This same backward region (I can't find another word) was virtually leading the country and Africa in all spheres of human development according to historians. Please correct me if you think I am wrong.

Innocence is painted on our faces at present, but how long would it last with the atrocities pandering across the continent. How long would we survive the tide.

Politics / A Show On The Dark Side Of A Country. by Whyke141: 4:04am On May 01, 2018
If the deep blue sea is not an option, then one must befriend the devil. But when being between the deep blue sea and the devil is a choice, then too many questions arises for the same mind. What now resonates across the melodramatic political scene in Ghana is the recent US-Ghana Military Agreement.

The. United States no doubt has a long running history with Ghana, ranging from joint military operations to provision of military training. A major intrusion into the country's internal affair was in February 1966, when America and the Central Intelligence Agency helped in the overthrow of Kwame Nkrumah. A foray into the recent 2018 defense cooperation agreement which had heated up the polity beginning from May this year, tell one that the Ghanaians has more than enough to worry about.

What is eye-catching in the agreement from which Ghana(one country among so many Donald Trump called a '''shithole''') tends to benefit $20 million as investment to equip her military, seems in incongruous to a mutual relationship. At least, the protesting Ghanaians thinks so. From the agreement, the US military and it's PMC(Private Military Contractors) are not supposed to lay taxes. Needless to say PMCs ain't government regulated and necessarily don't answer for damages caused by them. Further, the US military is given certain territories which it's entry and exit is controlled only by them. Also, the agreement will allow for importation of equipments not subject to inspection by the Local security. In addition, usage of the Ghanian airwaves are free. The foreigners will also be allowed to drive on the Ghanian Street without license. What is most irking for the locals is that, the Defense Minister wants the citizens to think that the assertion of a U.S military base is baseless.

As one would expect, this is an opportunity for the NDC opposition to traduce the government. But why it seems the NDC has no moral right to think for any Ghanian at this point, is founded on a similar agreement signed in the year 1998 under J.J Rawlings and in 2015. And so the plot to establish a U.S military base in the country is a show that has been on the dark side of Ghana. How necessary is the U.S military presence in a seemingly peaceful country?, is one question that can't be fathomed.

The U.S will always want to turn out hegemonic even in a foreign soil. And so the average man need no premonition to predict the kind of cataclysmic event that awaits all when the going goes wrong. Thereby, giving credence to Murphy's law which states "...anything capable of going wrong will go wrong".

Predictably if the show goes on, Ghana's sovereignty would be redefined. Also, FREEDOM might take a shift from the opinion of Mark Knopfler who said "... I don't like definitions, but if there is a definition of freedom, it would be when you have control over reality to transform it, to change it, rather than having it imposed on you. You can't really ask for more than that". Of course, this are peace times. For it to remain so, the heart must continue to be troubled with striving not to be between the deep blue sea and the devil.
