Divorced agian

Just wife and I, no baby carriage
From the start, this was the sweetest marriage
But mama needed to change diapers
The baby cot needed an occupant
That breast milk needs a sucking mouth
And my mum thinks I'm married to a man, this I couldn't doubt

My impatience grew like I'm feeding it protein
Every night I'll beat her up, like she was a bag meant for punching
Her eyes got blacker than a freshly dyed chalkboard
Too much crying gave her eyes baggage like someone traveling abroad
She couldn't take it anymore
Staying up every night, blaming her god

We gradually grew apart like the strangers we were
Before this thing called marriage made us a pair
Hoping to have children like a nursery
But I got disappointed after five years, I gave up trying
Already have a mistress who is pregnant I told to hang on
Cause just too soon I'll join the divorce wagon

#GEJwhileyouwereaway

Went on social media and found a rather disturbing topic trending on twitter this morning #GEJwhileyouwereaway... I couldn't tell if its ignorance or sheer stupidity that would make anyone raise such a topic like GEJ was the messiah who went on break..

Maybe a lot of Nigerians have not realized that GEJ is no longer and can never be Nigeria's president ever again, cause if they do they will pray for the New Government led by President Mohammadu Buhari to do better instead of castigating a government who is yet to settle its feet on the ground..

I'm not a Pro Buhari supporter neither do I hate GEJ as much as the rest of Nigerians do but if I may ask GEJ has been both at the corridors and sitting room of power for 16 years of his adult life and yet he was called "clueless, snail paced, and a lot of horrible names not deemed fit for anyone...

Meanwhile, while GEJ was in POWER, the country incurred more debts, was labeled a terrorist state, more corrupt officers paraded freely, nobody was held responsible for any money that couldn't be accounted for and this your so called messiah did nothing to augment these situations and if he did put the country in a better situation why would he after leaving office retire to his house in LONDON, ENGLAND instead of his home town OTUEKE in BAYELSA state...

Please GEJ come back to your people don't be away in London, I know you have houses in Port Harcourt, Abuja and Bayelsa at least these I'm sure of and #GEJwhileyouwereaway I think the power sector which you lied about to Christina Amanpour is gradually improving and surprisingly EFCC is back after four years...

And please PMB we are still waiting for your ministerial list or should we suggest Ministers of the gospel to help ease the process?

A MOTHER'S CRY

Today i saw what it entails to be a mother
the cries and heart felt pains that comes under
she came out of the yard crying and pacing
asking if anyone has seen her baby
in a panic we all went searching
with rhetorical questions we keep asking
"where could he be"
"who carry am commot"
but those questions were flying without answers
and her patience was running faster
her hopes went low
as she keeps asking everyone, hoping somebody knows
but we were all as ignorant as we could be at the moment
only hoping he appears from somewhere
then somebody shouted "call pastor, maybe e carry am commot
so we did but he went out and with him the child was not
her panic grew, her eyes got redder
tears stay pouring like stormy weather
and suddenly we heard a cry coming from a neighbor's room
that is her baby just waking up too soon
and like magic, her teary eyes beams with smile
knowing her baby is still alive
but she has to wait for her neighbor to be back
before she would hold him in her loving arms
and give him the beating of his life
for giving her the mini heart attack she just survived

birthday eve

Its my birthday eve
And I could feel little me still wrapped up like a fetus in my mother's womb
Waiting for the eleventh hour when I'll break through
Not knowing what the world holds in for me
Not knowing this world would later corrupt innocent me
My mother still heavy with tiny me as a pregnancy
With her bags and all checking into a maternity
It was June the 23rd 1989
A friday it was and it almost rained that night
But no I wasn't ready yet
That womb was still comfortable for my tiny head
I'm not even aware I'm not the first of my clan
I couldn't tell if my parents for me had made any plans
But in there I know by the morning I'll be ready
To launch into a world and it will be early

JUju, A piece of Art


He held the mask up and smiled
Turning to me "this will fetch me a good price"
He said as I watched in awe
While onye-ocha played with our masquerade
Calling our arusi a fine piece of art
And how he will sell it in the museum and the money he will give me part
I don't want to be part of this deal
Knowing how many people this arusi has killed
It was the gods of our fore-fathers
And it was believed to have protected our land beyond borders
I've watched the eze-muo pour for it libations
And before it he has made incantations
Yet onye-ocha just holds it like a piece of firewood
And this dreaded arusi has not struck him dead like I thought he would
Then I reasoned at heart
That the juju is just a piece of art

Politics and Lies, gej's version

I have a serious problem with GEJ I won't lie about it like he is doing to the world... He keeps saying he didn't wish to continue as a president... He has no interest in politics yet he went round the federation campaigning for votes and so much money was spent just to make him win the Election...

Now I'm asking if he had won the election would he had stepped down and said he wasn't interested in ruling?... Good thing he conceded defeat for the Peace of the Nation and he deserves a medal for that but saying he wasn't interested in ruling after he lost the election well that is one lie I can't tolerate...

What's my own by the way sef.. Whether he was interested or not he now lives in Otuoke and this has not changed the light situation either...

And before I forget the Judiciary is back in Rivers State just as the NEW Governor promised so if we don't get anything from him for the rest of the four years we shouldn't complain he has fulfilled his promise.. I think I should stop here before my ink runs dry

Thank You For Breaking My Heart

I'll write you a letter to thank you for breaking my heart
I'll write it in details how you tore it apart
Reminding you of how our love was sweet till you took a bow
And how we promised to exchange marriage vows
I will write you a letter to thank you for breaking my heart
Hoping to get a reply that says "to hell with your heart"
