MY GIFT

-

The sweet precious gift of life
You certainly will be my wife
You have given me everything
When you gave me your love.
With you I experience no pain
Your love has given me gains
I know if I come on this plains
Another lifetime,I'll love you again.
Life may not be a bed of roses
But I will in this lifetime, make
Your bed with petals of roses.
My love for you shall be true
And my promises to you sacred,
Never to be broken.
I count myself lucky to have a special
Woman that is you.
I'll forever thank God for this precious gift.

Fashola's Camera And The Mockery of The Intelligentsia

-
 I have never been an admirer of Babatunde Raji Fashola. When he succeeded Lai Mohammed as the Chief of Staff to the erstwhile governor of Lagos State, Senator Bola Tinubu, little was known about him in public space and he had barely come out of obscurity until his principal anointed him as his successor. At that time, I had a preferred candidate and Fashola was not him. Well, Fashola became governor in 2007. I hear he is very brilliant and highly educated. I am told he attended Birch Freeman High School and Igbobi College both in Lagos and graduated with an LL.B from the University of Benin. I also hear he is the first of his Law school class of 1988 to be honoured with the prestigious rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN. He is also such an orator that had enjoyed captivating the people with his smooth speeches. He served two terms as governor and transformed Lagos only in superficiality. He planted gardens and flowers all over Lagos and provided water to keep the gardens nurt...

SYLVESTER OROMONI AND OUR BLEAK SOCIETY

-
 the thought of what happened to Sylvester Oromoni Jr, a student of Dowen College in Lekki, Lagos State is not only heartbreaking but also nightmarish. The 12 year old boy passed on from pains that was inflicted on him by his fellow students. he was tortured. It brings tears not only to the eyes but also to the heart.  Master Oromoni's only crime, as alleged, was that he refused to join a school cult. this is even more heart-wrenching. Cultism has been allowed to permeate through our society to the extent that little children secondary school who ordinarily are struggling with differentiating their left from their rights are now forming cult gangs. How did we get here? Unfortunately, little Oromoni has been snatched away before his prime by the evil claws of cultism, how did cultism get into a supposed avant-garde school like Down College?

Oshiomhole: The Raging Bull In A China Shop

-
 Adams Oshiomhole obviously thought he was larger than life and he mistook his rise to prominence as the result of his smartness. He saw himself as a political lion whose roar sent jitters through all and sundry. He must have become too used to being in power and its corridors to assume he was Hercules or perhaps even Zeus over mere mortals. Coming from an eight year reign as labour leader who stood like an applauded collosus over Nigeria, dictating all labour actions especially against government policies and receiving both ready compliance and obeisance from the Nigerian people, Oshiomhole must have seen himself as a force to reckon with in the polity. His further rise to the government house in Benin City as governor of Edo State turned him into a giant, a usual attribute of shortmen - power makes shortmen very tall that they dwarf Goliath. He took on the godfathers of Edo politics and spared no one. Oshiomhole was fearless and confrontational and took on personalities no less t...
