OSEKAN

-

 In the here and now I nearly found love,

One that would have blossomed on the wings of

 happiness and acceptance

The mystery that would have left a timeless joy.

Nearly to, is, they say but this never was

It was, but just a short-lived spell


Oh fear, all I thought wanes in your sight is courage,

But not the unsolved mystery called love

Yet, your ghostly chains and whispering chills have destroyed 

what was found in the wet cages of Osekan

Where the dancing waves represented the swelling of my heart


And the rumbles, the joy of my love’s spark

Like the sea meets the cliff with a thunderous

 kiss, so should our swelling hearts and mouth

Yet before it could be awakened in truth’s embrace,


The destroyer that leaves no trace, destroyed the hope that was spinning in moonlight’s loom

In his courts, I couldn't lay, in his robes I couldn't find warmth either,

yet in his fleeting seconds of love, I got the whisper of the soul;

Love is but not sorrows of dawn and dusk only, but the warmth, the laughter and the echoes of cheers even in the brittle hour.

DEAR MEN

         A LETTER TO THE GENTLEMEN Dear Gentleman, I wanted to say the brightness of the day has given me this unique opportunity to write y'all this letter but looking at me wrapped in one of my mother's favorites clothes this dawn and shivering like a wet chicken, permit me to say the coldness of this early dawn breeze has pushed me to write y'all this letter. Before you run ahead of me because of "coldness" I want you to also know the matter is not a good one so just hold your smile and stick to my line both literally and figuratively.  In one of my random thoughts and in finding the answer to the question "Why do men lie?"My inner man, who is so far one of the men who hasn't lied or tried to be who he is not, dragged me to the Garden of Eden, and made me watch from the beginning when the serpent appeared till the end when Adam had to lie to save Eve. It then dawned on me, men lie to protect women. In fact, Adam did, how much more are the sons of ...

WHAT LINKEDIN IS

-
Why LinkedIn? When I first heard about LinkedIn , it was in 2022, and in an unappealing way. I came across a post that talked about how everyone on LinkedIn seemed to be a “big person.” One comment said, “You’ll meet someone who says, ‘I serve as a trusted intermediary, offering convenient and accessible services like cash deposits, withdrawals, e-transactions, and helping bridge the gap between traditional banking…,’” only to realize they’re just a momo vendor by the roadside. I laughed at that particular comment and it stuck with me because I was working as a momo vendor at the time. Others also commented on how people have made everything a lesson, like what happened when they crossed a road or how they swallowed banku in a modern way. I heard of LinkedIn when it was 20 years since its launch. Two years later, after teachings and observing how it works, this is what LinkedIn looks like to me. But before I tell you, let me take you to a party. In 2023, I attended a birthday party fo...

Nearly to, is, they say but this never was. It was, but just a short-lived spell...." Gbasala, The waves have delivered your message, the breeze of dawn and twilight wouldn't let me rest either and so I have come, to tell the stories, I have come, with people who would bear me witness and not only my memory. Gbasala, I have come to tell them about the dance we did to the nice tunes the susurration provided, the thunderous slap of the sea against those rocks that give the high keys and serve as clap to the whistling wind. But I only pray, they enjoy this journey through these buried chapters, and show love as we walk along the coast and into it. Dear Reader, I'm just here to keep memories whilst sharing them with you too. I will share my experiences, my thoughts,my journey and all the interesting...
