HELPLESS NOT HOPELESS

It was a rainy, thunderous night in the village of Kumolu, a village surrounded by hills. The villagers of Kumolu are known for their beautiful weaving skills and farming. The villagers lived harmoniously in peace, but that doesn’t negate the “bad eggs” among them, either. The sound of the heavy downpour could be felt across the village, and the whole village was already in their houses early because of the wind that precedes the rain. Mama Daniel is a petty trader and a widow who lost her husband a few weeks after giving birth to her only child. Her voice could be heard by neighbors as she beckoned to Daniel to help her clear the water that had flooded the house — the smell of wet earth, the sound of wind rattling the thatch, the flicker of a kerosene lamp as they cleared the water. Daniel was fast asleep, but his mother’s voice woke him up, and he was shivering because of the cold. They were able to scoop the water and save the furniture before his mother finally told him to go back ...

STATE OF THE NATION: PROTEST OR CHAOS

Image
The situation of things currently happening in Nigeria is an eyesore and a menace that needed to be curbed as soon as possible. The recent government monetary policy is an action covered in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999) likewise the PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION also known as PROTEST is another aspect covered under the section 45(1), section 40 of the 1999 amended Constitution which states “Every person shall be entitled to assemble freely and associate with other persons, and in particular he may form or belong to any political party, trade union or any other association”. The current trend of mayhem, arson and  anarchy resulting from the effect of government order is not something to be overlooked.  A peaceful protest is welcomed by the government and permitted but we all know that there's no way we can have a peaceful protest in this country without hoodlums and thugs seizing that opportunity to perpetrate evils. Following the attacks on banks and...

Written by Sambo Misturah PKA Sambo and Onayemi Oreoluwa Daniel PKA SimplyLegacy I am that black man called a Nigerian An industrious man earning peanut I am that giant of Africa  A giant almost going nuts  The labour of my heroes are almost in vain  The struggle right now is for personal gain I have the green, white, green all in my vein Why then do I have to wallow in pain  The colour of my hair is my virility  My perseverance is my identity  The horses on the coat are not just for dignity  Their thickness tells you of my ruggedity  Burial ground emanating from once lush green Talents are now celebrated in death  If it is a lie, then what of Dagrin A promising rapper snatched by death I promise to serve with strength, love and faith Will I still do this even when all my strength has faint The once giant of Af...

THE EXTORTIONIST; A CALL TO TRUE SERVICE

Image
  A THIRD MAN NARRATIVE ON THE CORRUPTION AND INHUMANE ACT PERPETRATED BY HIGHER AUTHORITIES  ✍️ONAYEMI OREOLUWA DANIEL  It is no longer a secret and news that the feelings and voice of Nigerians are been trampled upon by higher authorities. Nigeria is our  father's land and we pledge to be faithful, loyal and honest to it with all our heart but that doesn't mean we should be mediocre in life. Beliefs and mentality changes with dispensation but it is disheartening that the disposition  and standard of authority hasn't move an iota from it's point of inclination. The Government i.e the Executives, Legislators and Judiciary are the new slave masters selling our right and voices right before us and they also make a fool of us by coming every four (4) years with another sweet mouth to con us while we wallow in pain and dejection.  The authorities are public servant that are appointed to serve the masses but reverse is the case in my own country for the masses a...

ELECTION; A GAME OF CHESS

Image
  A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS BETWEEN TWO PHENOMENA BY A SEASONED CONTEMPORARY WRITER  ✍️ONAYEMI OREOLUWA DANIEL   Electioneering is a legal  systematic process by which the masses vote in their desired candidate or the sweetest mouth runner just to be in power. A chess is a critical systematic analytical  game of the brain where series of pieces do everything within their power to protect their loved one i.e the king.  Election is something that happens between two or more individuals, party, organisation etc. so also is the  game chess, that is played between two people.

THE BAT IN MAN

  A TRUE POEM BY SEASONED CONTEMPORARY POETS @SIMPLYLEGACY_ORE X MOST ✍️ONAYEMI OREOLUWA DANIEL & OLUSUYI KAYODE  The way of the bat Is the way of man Cunning, deceitful and unworthy Appears like an angel to one  Then like the devil to the other The way of the bat Is like the face of man Filled with outward smile But deadly like a volcanic eruption inside  Erupting harshly but seldomly get to the face  The way of the bat Is the mind of man  Only the owner knows what lies in it For selfish reasons prefer to be double face Created a empire of deceit An empire ruled by suspense The way of the bat Is the tongue of man In it lies the power to save and to kill The defendant shivers by such uncertainty  Like a man awaiting his fate before a judge ✍️SimplyLegacy The way of the bat It's the way of man They appear in an angelic form But they are wolf in sheep form Happiness is written all over them when together But their meal is the downfall of others The w...

PRINCESS OF THE 7TH ORDER

Image
   A LOVE POEM FROM SEASONED CONTEMPORARY POETS  ✍ONAYEMI OREOLUWA & DR. RANU GHOSAL  @SIMPLYLEGACY_ORE My princess of the 7th order Thy subtle touch performed miracle on the lame man His bone rejuvenate as he drinks from thy water  The honey in thy water supersedes the taste of wine  Thy love will forever be my strength and shield Protecting me from archery of the wicked ones For thou alone will my spirit, soul and body yield Cause thou never abandoned me not even for once Commander of the 7th order, indeed a princess Thy elegance strikes fear more than a lioness  Thou subconsciously enslaved us and made us thy follower This thou did without even giving an order A princess adorn in royal apparel A gem so unique, a piece so rare A beauty too bright to behold forever Provided there won't be any other ever My love for thee flows wide and long as the river  Sweeping mountains and breaking barriers  Feelings of love and ecstasy, I thought it ...
