Premium Member Three Nigerian Christians
June 2024, in Borno state, Nigeria, three young Nigerian Christian men, knelt with hands tied behind their backs, under the fiery African sun. Then shot dead into eternity by Islamic State West Africa gunmen. Rev Ibrahim Abako, secretary of the Yobe State Chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria condemned the murders. The martyred men of Christ, with their King, their Savior. Nigeria's Christians' blood on...

The Nigerian Super Eagles
In the land of Nigeria, strong and bold, Super Eagles soar, stories to be told. To the final they’ve flown, no easy feat, God’s grace and hard work, a victorious beat. Nwabali guards, a goalkeeping gem, Protection’s force, a powerful emblem. Ekong, a titan, no one dares defy, In the field, his strength reaches the sky. As the final whistle nears, in the...

Nigerian Police Station
Once, I was there to check a tall Zaki And it became reason to meet khaki, Very clean but most offices tacky: A cop could turn one into a lackey! I know The Police is for the Nation But I shan’t again a Police Station; A world plainly paramilitary, Safer, not better than Solitary, In every station, obvious gyration; Canteens that could serve...

Nigerian Changes Money
While walking around like Satan I met today’s Weaker Nathan And was set to accuse the brethren Then not in church with his children… Because of the feared dead line For end of old currency, Now in banks yielding a scared line And scenes of genuine urgency! “Sunday and you’ve priest abandoned! God! This fool shouldn’t be pardoned Elder and his pastor Burden… Let me...

Nigerian Patriot In Us Detroit
Ade is a Nigerian patriot But permanent in US’ Detroit, There, charming Nigerian Flag hoisted, Bared schemes upon him foisted… Ade, The Rare Nigerian Patriot, Scarcely planning to leave Sweet Detroit, Shall unfailingly shoot all of them, Giving his Giant. causeless problem: Politicians who might risk Rigging He’d begun their graves a-digging: For them the cheapest US caskets, A little costlier than Mum’s baskets; Never to stubborn...

Challenged Nigerian Pharmacists
The Roadside Medicine Sellers Are Pharmacists' bold tellers Of an enduring contest Not unlike a weighted test! Ever waxing Drug Dealers Competing as Sure Healers But spinning laughing profits For all their being cursed misfits! Shame to legalizing Laws Unbolting illegal doors, Patent Medicine - obtained Rights A From - Reality Fool's flights That often drop a body For a post - Morten study What a crazy...

A Paragon For Nigerian Youths
Like a cheetah that's a natural born sprinter Tobi Amusan is the world fastest female sprinter And like an American Quarter Horse Tobi Amusan has become a discourse Having proven to be the world best In Oregon's and Birmingham's contest The hurdler's emergence is certainly unsudden A lesson for he who with his ambition plays chicken Like every tree with a seed to...

The Nigerian Politician
Bloated belly, swollen cheeks, and a sunken stiff neck on robust torso. Yet well fitted in flowing apparels; falling and being raised frequently from side to side. Obscene opulence is your delight, your prestige and your pride; amassed unlawfully by the pen, ever wet for your deception and thievery. The flight of your spoils of office enlarge the shopping Malls and treasure houses of the Occident, leaving your...

Ageing Nigerian Politicians
Ageing Nigerian Politicians Being made younger by beauticians; Their millions for Plastic Surgery, Their wealth for Good Imagery; The emptiest resolve to seem The Youth: A Soon-To-Be Blind sees its sad truth… Ageing Nigerian Politicians, Richly trusting nice rhetoricians Like the Pharisees did their synagogues; A fat faith in settled demagogues, Who a lot could lift from The Bible And into a rally walk with The...

Nigerian Libraries of Yesterday
Repositories of The British-Donated: Of texts like bombs detonated; Books from their libraries discharged; The-Given-Out, not a dime charged … A Harvest of The Happily Released Because of The New that must be increased; Books that have lost The Right to Remain There, Better reasonably dumped elsewhere Between The Hard paper Back Like strong keys to hack And The Partly Fragile of Skin Whose sight...

A Nigerian Town With My Footprints
Visibly wore she my footprints While bore I a Restarted Scholarship, In 1993 flaunting The Dullest Glints With streets that rather mirrored hardship … Okigwe was The Sometimes Chilly And irritably The Hilly A thing of sure hatred by Asthmatic Roads Users And of as sure by Escaping Criminal Losers … I’ve heard ‘By An Embittered Dweller cursed’ And since A Metaphor for The...

Nigerian Preachers and Scary Sermons
Till tomorrow a nasty style Nigerians stretch a bold mile: Sermons which begin with obituary And proceed to The Mortuary… The Waiting Choice of Deaconess Emmanuela Seeking and discovering The Best Umbrella For mandating sinners’ fastest repentance Of deeds that might no more clinch penance. Also, of Pastor Prince at war with Theological Schools, Because break a...
