AFRICAN PROVERBS
The one who has not mastered the art of carrying his penis must not try to lift the pestle😊 As funny as this proverb might sound, one gains a literal understanding when one considers the length of the penis and that of the pestle. This proverb is common among the Nigerian Igbos. It says "Onye ebulighi amu ya, obube odu akwu" #NircleProverbs #AfricanProverb
Local Prices
The yam seller sold this to me for #6500 at Market Junction, along Rukpokwu,Port Harcourt, Nigeria. I thought it was quite exorbitant though I equally understand the current situation in the country.Two years back this would have gone for about #1500. #Localprices #Neighbours
Untangle Africa's Chains, Playing My Part
LAND OF HEROES Sing on Africa Land of heroes who wrestled from dawn to dusk at the village square where ancestors meet with spirits from a distant land Warriors girded in animal skins Listen to their songs call Our ancestors must not in their graves turn if we at the sight of their bullets run Our crime is our smooth, shiny, dark ebony skin warm and fragrant like the morning brew But their hearts are black and consumed by spite like an abyss they swallowed hope and left despair These heroe...

POETIC PROVERBS African proverbs, a treasure to withstand guiding us through life's journey with gentle loving hand Wisdom whispers on the savannah breeze A 'smooth sea' warns of life's deceiving ease We must sing in the ears of young and old 'The wind breaks not the tree that bends' 'When music changes, so does the step' we cannot tango in an atmosphere of blues Let wisdom whisper and let our leaders hear. 'When elephants clash, the grasses creep' The call for change is long overdue 'The ear...

Untangle Africa's Chains, Playing My Part
AFRICANS ONCE SAID Africa is not a country but a continent just like Europe or Asia. Like a sleeping giant, it is time for her to wake up Africa is a continent of hope, a continent of opportunity and a continent of growth. Her story has been written in the margins of history but it is time for us to reclaim our narrative. The time for African unity is now Africa's wealth is not just in it's natural resources but in it's people. Africa's story is one of resilience of courage and of determina...
Untangle Africa's Chains. Playing My Part
AFRICA, A SURVIVOR Africa is the land of my ancestors and the land of my birth. How would I have known how much commitment I owe you when the road to knowledge was constantly impaired. It is difficult to find pathways amidst constant threats and without proper guide but I have found mine. It is a road to total commitment and loyalty to the land of my birth. Africa is a blessed land with good topography and favourable climatic conditions She is rich in mineral resources, allow me to call her t...

MOTHER AFRICA I am the cradle where humanity was born I feel the warmth of topical rain forests and the cool breeze of Mediterranean plains. One by one they nibbled at my nipples tugging at their thick, silky, beautiful dark hairs with their tiny legs raised a great blessing I must say My children are different With personalities rich and a resilient hand we've faced the tides and still our spirit remains, unbroken and wide I watched them from cradle When they let out their first cry as th...

I AM AFRICA I am Africa I live among communities united. Diverse cultures with rich traditions and stories untold I am Africa I live among people with hearts full of cheers and a resilience that banishes all fears I am Africa a land of divergence wide where disparity thrives and unity resides I am Africa I live among mountains whose heights reach the sky and valleys below where rivers flow I am Africa of the moonlight dance when it glows with a gentle silvery light through chatter and cheer...
Native Jollof Rice ( My Recipe)
My taste bud usually call for something unique . I love my food natural, delicious and inviting 😊 Recently I stood at a market where I went to buy akara. I looked at the different posts where they fried it and could not convince myself to buy any. One of the market women noticed my hesitation and pried to know why😊 My simple analysis got her laughing. I told her that all the akara I saw were not beckoning on me😊 so for this challenge, I made something very natural and delicious 😋 ...
A POEM ON 'EGO'
Ego, a silent companion A reflection of self, or so it would beguile A voice that whispers yet speaks so loud A mask that hides the truth, in a crowded cloud Ego and pride intertwined Like pride, a beacon of self in the dark of night it fuels the fire that drives us high but can also consume with a deadly sigh the good book says Ego puffs and preens, a proud display A precarious sanctuary, built to sway The winds of doubt, the rains of fear Like a castle built on sand, a spider wave of defens...
