An old man once told me a story Of a land, fruitful and a people, merry Of a king who always wore a purple cloak Of his Ballard who always sang folk Of his chiefs who wore fine laces Of their hands adorned with golden maces Of their stocky and manly carriage Of their judgement, fair, however mild or savage Of the men of this land, valiant Of their wisdom and foresight, savant Of their visage, groomed and well-kept Of their minds, set with a mindset Of the women and their fidelity Of their renowned and celebrated piety Of their exquisite and ravishing beauty Of the culinary delicacies-delicious and bounty Of the youth of this land, hardworking Of their strength and valor, vociferously striking Of their greatest might, mental Of their wisdom, almost transcendental Of their land, admired far and wide Of their children, ever glad, by their parent's side And as my mind began to wander fro and yonder The Old man told me a tale, yet, another Then, this old man told me another story Of a land, barren and a people, dreary Of a king who always wore dyed-blue cloak Of his Ballard who never sang folk Of his chiefs who wore faded laces Of their hands blistered with thorny maces Of their frail and weak carriage Of their judgement, prejudicial and savage Of the men of this land, cowardly Of their wisdom, in nature, measly Of their visage, haggard and untoward Of their minds, unstable and froward Of the women of this land and their unfaithfulness Of their infamous and ignoble lasciviousness Of their disgustingly uninviting ugliness Of the stench of their pots in all of its maliciousness Of the youth of this land, lazy Of their strength and valor, hazy Of their greatest weakness, stupidity Of their wisdom, almost a nonentity Of the Children of this land, always sad Away from callous mum and Dad At this point, I broke down My heart bled for the people of this town Who is to be praised for the blessedness of the first? Or be blamed for the curse of the next? |

They'd ignore this. Any forum that is biased in terms if religion and/or ethnicity would come to quick desolation. Little wonder, the dip in quality of the forum material. Seun, you need to explain yourself. |
| Religion / Why Are Atheists Being Suppressed Here? by Zikdik(m): 8:37am On Mar 28, 2015 |
It's simple as that. What's with the atheist hate? Our conversations are almost limited to one section. Someone always rubs it in your face that you're going to burn forever. Stupid bans from one extremist section. Our topics never make front page, regardless of how insightful and thought provoking they are. What is happening here? 2 Likes |

kitnah:I really don't care about the poetry. The message is pretty clear and sometimes, that's what really matters. I don't know. I really don't. Robbery is purely sociopathic. It is barbaric and unsocial. But sometimes, people deserve a second chance to prove they can right their wrongs and do good things. But I'm a respecter of the sanctity of life by career and dispensation. I'm all for second chances. Its a good thing you worked on length. Try to pull it a bit more. Improve on your lyrics as well. You're doing very well. |

| Poems For Review / Re: My poems by Zikdik(m): 3:33pm On Mar 24, 2015 |
My deductions: 1) You're limiting your genre to love and rejection. It's going to get stale. You have to be innovative and explore other concepts. 2) The length of the poems are not encouraging. Poetry is all about expressing yourself. Research. Prepare. Choose your words. Write until you exhaust your creativity. 3) Try to give your work a story. A plot that is visible from start to finish. It gives your poem the drop-me-not touch. Overall, good job. |

kitnah:OK. I'm sorry about the initial delay..let's dig in.. This is the first..poem. It was nice from an emotional perspective because the message was clear and straight to the point. But, it lacked a lot poetic attraction. No rhyming, no imagery, no poetic devices. It just appealed to the emotional side of me and that might be a good thing if it was a bit more voluminous. It looks like a personal message to someone than the naira work of art that poetry is supposed to be. 1 Like |

There’s not much I have to ask. Life builds up too fast. Only twenty years in, And I’m already a mess. No telling what else is in store. It’s too scary to think about. So much in life is unknown. We can’t learn till we try, Even though sometimes, No matter how hard we try, It ends in pain. But with so many paths to take, I won’t give up. Making it through all my errors isn’t easy. I can’t do it alone. As much as I hate to admit, We all need help. There is only one thing I ask. Let me breakdown in your arms. No questions. No words. Just tears. Let me cry. Hold me tight, Like you never want to let go. All I need is to be held while I cry, Just to feel the touch of another. Nothing hurts more than crying alone. Isolation makes me want to scream. Being so frail and weak, What’s a scream worth if it reaches no ear? What’s a tear worth if it reaches no shoulder? What’s a person worth who is afraid to feel? Just hold me tight. Let the tears do the talking. So many thoughts will go racing. Seems like the problem is the world, Which is something so impossible to face, On your own. The true reasons of sorrow are often buried. Hidden away under mounds of doubt, Guilt, Pain, And Regret. There will be time to dig through, But for now there needs to be time to cry. When you cry, There is always a reason. Crying is never pointless. When a person cries out, It is out of sorrow. Regardless of the cause, Everyone wants to be heard. Therefore I don’t ask for much. The solution isn’t always complex. All I want is to be held. To feel close enough, To feel safe, To feel like I belong. We all need someone to hold us down, To keep us from drifting away, Into an abyss of confusion and fear. These guardians are called anchors. Whenever you need them, They will be there. No matter the reason, They will hold you tight. That’s all I ask, To be held tight. I don’t know why I’m so sad. I don’t know why I’m so mad. I don’t know why I want to die. I don’t know why I want to cry. But more than ever I need my anchor. I need to be held. Let me breakdown in your arms. No questions. No words. Just tears. Let me cry. Hold me tight, Like you never want to let go. ......I once wrote that for an online pal..it's old but its one of my all time favourites. Hope you like it. Would review your work as soon as I can. |

| Politics / Throwback News: Angry Fani-kayode Insists On Intimacy With Bianca Ojukwu by Zikdik(m): 7:23pm On Mar 21, 2015 |
In the aftermath of the declaration by Bianca Ojukwu, Nigeria’s Ambassador to Spain, that she was unsatisfied with the apology issued by the former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, the latter has decided to take a belligerent position. Mr. Fani-Kayode, in a statement by his Personal Assistant, Tosin Emmanuel, said that he welcomes “whatever course of action” Mrs. Ojukwu’s lawyer intends to pursue. The former minister also said that he would institute his own legal proceedings against the widow of the late Biafran warlord “for her barefaced and malicious lies and consistent claim” that she has never met him. After claiming, in his controversial piece ‘A Word For Those Who Call Me A Tribalist’ that he had had a “long- standing and intimate relationship” with Mrs. Ojukwu while she was unmarried; Mr. Fani-Kayode Thursday, withdrew the comment. Mr. Fani-Kayode had also extended his ‘retraction’ to Adaobi Uchegbu and Chioma Anasoh, the two other ladies he mentioned in his article. But Mrs. Ojukwu, in her response, stated that Mr. Fani- Kayode’s statement “falls far short of an apology and retraction.” “Whilst it is important to reiterate that Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu has never met Chief Femi Kayode and does not know him in person, it is pertinent to note that the statement issued through Mr Akinola Babatunde Rotimi, falls far short of an apology and retraction of Chief Femi Fani-Kayode’s false and libelous outbursts and is merely a desperate attempt to lend credence to fabrications, which he seeks to present as reality with intent to gloss over the very serious issues arising from the reckless publication,” Mrs. Ojukwu said in a statement by her Personal Assistant, Isaac Igboanu. “In the circumstances, Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu is left with no option than to leave the matter in the hands of her lawyers,” she added. The former beauty queen’s reply angered Mr. Fani- Kayode who responded, on Monday, with a tersely worded statement saying that Mrs. Ojukwu’s demeanour indicates that she is desperate to go to war over the issue as well as cover up “the truth about their past.” “We really do wonder what Mrs. Ojukwu really wants from Chief Fani-Kayode and what her agenda really is? “Throughout this matter Chief Fani-Kayode has chosen the path of peace and has attempted to avoid an ugly and public quarrel with Bianca Ojukwu out of respect to the memory of her late father Chief C.C. Onoh and the memory of her late husband, Dim Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu,” Mr. Fani-Kayode said. The ex-minister stated that despite “bending over backwards” to publicly withdraw his comments in several national and online newspapers, Mrs. Ojukwu has refused to be appeased. “This is sad and unfortunate and it is beyond the imagination of anyone that a serving Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Nigeria would so readily and so easily be given to telling such lies. “Chief Fani-Kayode is not comfortable with publicly joining issues with ladies when it comes to matters of a private nature such as this because he was well brought up and he is a gentleman but it is clear that Bianca Ojukwu is desperate to go to war over this issue and to cover up the truth about their past,” said Mr. Fani-Kayode. “It is also clear that she has constituted herself into the arrowhead of a group of people that are determined to use her and this whole unsavoury episode to attempt to distract attention from the wider and more important issues raised in the essay and to discredit him. “Since that is the case we welcome whatever action Ojukwu wishes to take in court and we shall gladly meet her there. “We will also be instigating our own legal proceedings against her in due course for her barefaced and malicious lies and her consistent claim that she has never met Chief Fani-Kayode all in an attempt to libel, defame, diminish and discredit him before the entire world,” he added. Mr. Fani-Kayode reiterated that not only did he have a relationship with Mrs. Ojukwu, but that he “knew her far better than she cares to publicly admit.” “The precise nature of that relationship will be explored and exposed in open court,” Mr. Fani-Kayode said. “It is not in the nature of Chief Fani-Kayode to fight unnecessary and distractive battles over flippant matters such as this but on this occasion he has been compelled to do so simply because he will do whatever it takes to protect his integrity and establish the fact that he has told no lie. “Since she has continued her shameless perfidy and wishes to tread the path of deceit and confrontation then so be it. “Finally let it be clearly understood that at no point did Chief Fani-Kayode lie about the nature of his relationship with Ojukwu. However he did not feel that it was appropriate or necessary to share the details of that relationship with the public because he felt that such matters were strictly private. “The fact that she mistook his mature exercise of restraint and discretion, even when provoked and insulted, his desire for peace and his gentlemanly nature for weakness is not only unfortunate but also a grave miscalculation on her part. “Once again we reiterate the fact that we counsel Ojukwu to take whatever course of action she pleases and we welcome this opportunity to expose her for what she is. “The matter has been referred to our lawyers for final preparation. They will prepare a vigorous defence to Ojukwu’s absurd allegations and they will also determine our next line of action against her,” Mr. Fani-Kayode said. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/144372-angry-fani-kayode-insists-on-intimate-relationship-with-bianca-ojukwu-ready-for-legal-action.html |
