REBIRTH OF STILLBIRTH
By Solomon Chollom
Decades ago
In droves they drove
An advancing army
From one direction
Matching towards Plateau
Determined to conquer and control
In numbers innumerable
Gestation of stillbirth
MUMMY MUMMY
Warm in words
Charming in smiles
Astute in management
Organized in approach
Decisive in actions
Diligent with hands
Dependable in trust
Mummy mummy
DADDY, DEAR DADDY
Humble in castle
Modest in glory
Lowly in elevation
Homely and comely
Dear daddy
INSPIRATION 101: ANALYSING THE ANALYSTS II
In continuation of my series on ANALYSING THE ANALYSTS of political landscape in Nigeria. I bring you another group of analysts today who insist that everything about their master is right. They are the irrationally objective group.
In my last release I drew your attention to objective rationalism where the group of political analysts deal with issues without iota of bias. They are guided by conscience not parties.
INSPIRATION 101: ANALYSING THE ANALYSTS (1)
As views and reviews on topical national issues continue to dominate media space brewing analysis from all and sundry, I will take the next few series to analyse the analysts as they trade banters for and against critical issues in the polity.
INSPIRATION 101: SEEING BEYOND THE WRONGS
When the eyes for wrongs see clearer than eyes for right then the reason for seeing is to pull down.
Many times we get critical on people and issues with the primary aim of unearthing their wrongs and brand them with uncomplimentary tags. We do this with active cursory diligence and sensory attention under high-octane, subjective clouds. In the process we discountenance, in their numbers, what is worthy of commendation and craftily magnify perceived errors, even when none exists, to score a cheap goal of propaganda and ego inflation.
INSPIRATION 101
When fraternal relationship is fractured, togetherness becomes endangered, brotherliness becomes extinct and camaraderie becomes suspect. This threatens the natural sense of communal living where the pain or gain of one is that of all.
The evolution of the strange individualist culture where "each is to himself and God for us all" has unfortunately corroded our natural tendencies for community and communal coexistence. The negative trend means that sympathy and empathy have now lost their basic definitions and applications in networking and team building
THE DARING DARLING
Ada the adorable
Classy and glassy
Bereft of crass and crash
With cash and catch
The Nzerem gladiator
Kate not case
Birthday not bad day
Rolling out the music
The daring darling celebrates
THE PROSTRATE PYRAMID
Tall in the hall
Head and shoulders above peers
You dwarfed lofty heights
Rugged and unruffled
Tall in abundance and abasement
Sleek, slim and elegant
Beauty of the savannah
Glory of the north
Pride of Nigeria
Plateau the pyramid
