From the Portal to the Aisle

-

It took me five years to realize
She was the only one for me in my eyes
Even then I seemed to be too late
When I asked her to be my partner
To sail the remaining of our life's journey
She said she already has a date
Damn! It hurt me to hear those words
But happiness came when I put her first

And when I looked into her eyes
I know the truth from the lies
She reminds me of everything called love
The one I use to have, the one I lost
I simply obliged to her irresistible kindness
Hail me the king, because I am in a paradise

So now I am ready to love again
To feel someone next to me
Making love without making love
Cuddling to express my affection
A kiss that speaks louder than words
A body that is willing to love unconditionally
A mind that is absent of pride
A soul that tamed jealousy
And a personality that has trust in attendance

So from the Facebook portal
We're walking to the Church Aisle
I am an Adam
Who just found a Mahogany Eve
To help me create out garden of Eden
I am so tired of biting on forbidden fruit
And listening to advice from serpents

The Cement Armada of 1975

Sometimes in 1970, there was the six days war between Israel and the Arabs, this war led to quadrupling increase in oil price over night. All of a sudden Nigeria became rich with a lot of money to the extent that Federal government of Nigeria in her magnanimity ordered the immediate effect implementation increase of salary for all the civil servants(Udoji salary awards,  1974). All civil servants' salary were doubled. Of course with the new found wealth a lot of people wanted build their own houses but there was severe cement shortage in the country. The demand for cement and other building materials was astronomical, under pressure from the military the government committed itself to a massive Barrack building program and thus ordered 16 million metric tonnes of cement for the building of Army Barracks alone, amounting to 80% of the country’s total cement import. Although all Nigerian Ports combined could only handle 6.5 million tonnes of general cargo per annum, the governme...

Open Letter to CAF

-
Dear CAF, First off, I would like to thank you for organizing your award in Nigeria...not like you've hosted in other countries save for those Glo is present in. It was nice that Africa was watching Nigeria once again in football. That being said, with no time left for petty things, I would like to get down to the purpose of this letter, which is to address the embarrassing irregularities that has come to be associated with this organization and it's award show. The minute CAF released their list of top 3 contenders for the APOTY award, omitting a world class player like Enyeama who had done more than enough to put Africa on the World Map with his exploits in France, and replacing him with Drogba who was less than stellar in the year under review, I smelt a rat, and not just any rat, a big, dead, bush rat. The wise ones amongst us knew already that you people had begun with your politics because by any standards set, Enyeama was outstanding in 2013, even more than any of those ...

*TWO HEADS ONBOARD* *Date:* Tuesday 16th January, 2024 *Time:* 7:46am *Location:* Ojo-Liverpool (@Sabokoji) It was a fresh start to the new era of smart and digitalized water transportation with LAGFERRY at the forefront of this great innovation. On this day, Captain Hameed had checked his boat and was ready to sail passengers from Ebute Ojo to CMS via Liverpool on the newly acquired state-of-the-art 120pax MF Jagaban by LAGFERRY. Mariam, the Operation Officer at Ebute Ojo terminal was well dressed in her LAGFERRY uniform and the passengers were already on the queue to board with their smart cowry cards. Niyi on the other end was at the control room with his eyes glued to the giant TV screen, monitoring the movement of all the 91 ferries owned by LAGFERRY and in operations sailing people from one point to another. Back to the Ojo Terminal, passengers were tapping on the validator with their Cowry Card while Oseni and Azeez fasten lifejackets for the passengers as they procee...
