"Nigeria"

 "Nigeria"

Motherland,My home 

In thy blossom I lay

I watch as ...

All feets race towards thee

Thy breast flowing with Milk and Honey.

Every hand stretches to snatch off thy goodness

Yes ! you have given in-Embracing

Beaten and battered ,

Exploited and exposed.

Look !All thy children are scattered,

Some imitator of thy foolishness,

Some gone with  thy goodness

Look! thy children suffer malnutrition,

Fear and insecurities,

How cowardly ,they shuddered.


One question rest on my mind,

Mother,Can you still own up to your inadequacies?

Can you till gather your children ?

Stop the Facade- Copy cat!

Can we still work towards one?-undivided

Can you teach us? that we might be planted, 

Even for the sake of generations unborn.

My plead,

As thy Creator bestowed ageless beauty  

Thy Children shall be ever-green 

Grey Diamonds,wow! you just turned sixty!

Thy children shall flourish 

Even in this clouds that we might see the silver linings. 

Like a wind, away with the pain,

Just as it rains, 

Away with the anguish gold,

Wash away your suffering-smile

Freedom unending.

When all is said and done 

My heart still  longs to stay under thy refuge. 



God bless Nigeria

 No place like Home.

This simply a Yoruba statement deeply rooted in the word of God 1 John 2:17 'And the world passes away and the lust of it but he who does the will of God abides forever. You might want to read from verse 15. Right,the world feels unending with our insatisfactions,Yet we keep chasing  after them. But One thing is endearing,One thing Satisfies. Matt (22:20-21) ..And Jesus said to them "Whose likeness and  inscription is this?  Vs 21 They said "Caesar's,then he said to them. Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's. *Caesar's (The World) inscription,power,law,fame will end. * All earthly desires and riches ,likewise whatever our Pain, suffering,sorrow ,death will end in this world. So whose likeness and inscription is on you? Is it Caesear's or Christ? Lay hold of that which is Eternal. Chase after that which Satisfies. The will of God is Eternal The Word (Christ) i...

Dear Best Friend,Take my Hands!

" If you don't personally go with us,don't make us leave this place,How will anyone know that you look favourably on me and your people if you don't go with us?. These was Moses words to Abba. (Exo.33:15-16a) Moses was a middleman between God and the Isrealities ,more like a shepherd ,Just as God has appointed some of us to act over others,This does not necessarily means you have to be a church head,As a parent,you are over your children and family, God can put you over everyone around you,Funny how this sounds,Even your pals or your roommates ,I know you will be wondering ....Kilo kan mi? All the same , Christ is the only Good Shepherd,our Head.One thing Moses recognise is that even though he had people under him ,He was still a sheep under Abba.He remembered the Psalmist 23.. In  those days,I can remember waking up to read this every morning,Even in school,we recite it every morning,but I can tell you i barely know what I confess then.. The palmist 23  ...
