THE TRUTH LAND  How has the mighty planet fallen! From their own orbit and axis? Tell it no more in the streets of Truth Land Lest, the voice of the Pineis rejoice. How has the Moon been churlish too, Scattering the daughters of Truth Land And splitting them in reckless abandon. Such that they become just a speck in the universe Like a lonely gravel in the seashore. With unheard voices unheeded To pleas not tended, and Joys espousing cicatrices of injustice. So then, from whence cometh your attendance, oh Moon? How is the tongue of the infants being cut off With sharp knives of tongues. That they could no longer communicate with their mothers. Oh, the shadows of enlightenment. Only with cut tongues do these curbs hurry off to you, Just to find doctors stitching their tongue with tongues. The walls of enlightenment! How much have you shunned these curbs And have enlivened tongs to pick up tongues To foil their half ...

Peculiarities of The Izon Language.               Phase One: Notice an interesting aspect of the Kolokuma dialect: it does not end words with a consonant sound except the nasal "n" as seen in the following examples: kpain---quiet main-----disappear/vanish moun---hunger asin----blood dein---night erein---day kpiin---extremely dark dunuin---argue, etc. It is important to reiterate that only the "n" consonant appears to end a word in Izon language, all other consonants must be followed by a vowel. Examples: emi---available eterete---circle desi---jump bara---hand, etc. This is the reason why any native user of Izon would usually and subconsciously add a vowel to English words that end in a consonant. For instance; English      Izon realization box---------boxi, bokisi drum--------drumu, duromu yam----------yamu egg-----------eggi bread---------bredi, biredi iron-----------ironi(aiyoni) Thus, the typi...

HEIST FLOWS MY WAY. The deep night softly crept on my head So I lay my head on my bed Some little hours of euphory in never-never land Then came a yell which screeched me out of my country Into another country of dismay. Lo, two unmasked dacoits surge my room Alas! Heist flows my my way again The dysphoria of one dacoity still flanking my memory lane Yet another springs forth. What shall become of it? This sight made me stampede towards hills of safety But there was none Safety was found only in my mind The thought of survival was safety But, it was far from me for fear was upon me A muslim prostrate on the floor With my spirit so poor Where is the money, where is the money? This heist isn't too successful, looks like And... My Reverend says to my mother Take heart woman, it is one of those things in life Your son's death was so painful We loved him. Christ loved him more. Lo, fear's vision For horror killed me seven times before i was kille...

When the issue of differently between African Youths and European Youths come up, what is the most basic thought that flanks your mind? Apart from the colour of the skin, what else is a difference that is new under the sun. But here is a WhatsApp user, on the condition of anonymity, who has  taken to the social networking platform to share a very mind blowing story about what he feels is a descrepancy between African youths and White youths. Here is what he shared. Sebastian Kurz  x Austria on December 18, 2017 made history by electing the world's youngest president who is 31 years old. His name is Sebastian Kurz, he is just 31 years old. Before that day’s election, he was the country's foreign minister. While our youths are contented with being used, praise singers and Special assistants  on social media in Africa,  youths elsewhere are disrupting the status quo, pushing for innovation, changing the narrative and pushing for the new frontie...

No two things really look the same in every aspects. Such statement is true even with the mist identical twin in the world. We are all uniquely and gloriously made by the Creator. Life's good and interesting simply because there are different places, peoples and things in the world. So,  don't look down on yourself at all. Don't even let others successfully look down on you. They can never be you, and you can never be them. Take a look at the following poem. It will teach you something: a new mind set ablaze, determined to achieve greatness and success. Only do be too wise in your difference. Always be open to instructions, good counsels. God bless. Differences Difference is what makes life interesting to everyone. Familiarity will only make it a boredom. Differences are the apples of uniqueness which crown the eyes of each human being. And no two can ever be the same no matter how hard is the metaphor. Difference speaks loudly, in that it renders even identical...

WHEN THINGS GO WRONG  Things go wrong when things go wrong, and you no longer keep along because it feels so hurt to get along. When  you feel like crying, and your heart is dying, and you wanna hate a lot of people. Because your will now, is a cripple When your greatest  fears become your everyday tears, and you wanna breakdown because you never want to calm down. When murder is your hope's last resort, because your vision finds no escort Even among your kinsmen. When anger presses you down a little and you wanna bristle because you are hardest hit. It is when things go wrong It is when you feel like crying It is when you are hardest hurt that you musn't quit. Nothing worthwhile hurts so soft, and when you're hurt so hard, that's when you musn't chatter your dreams.  Now that's quite some poem. At every given time when you're about to take a step that will cause a great gain to your soul, spirit and body, there always come...

This poem was rendered at the service of songs for the late deputy provost, Dr. Seiyefa Marcus, of the College of Education, Sagbama, by the Press Club of the College on the 25 of September, 2014 at the College premise.                  OLD STILL STRANGE                        BY:                 Oscar I. Apuge.                Yere Dennis. Why is the atmosphere so gloomy? And why do the seas and oceans wrought sorrow? Even the birdsong tells of pains, the sky in tears. Yeah! A cold chill ran down my spine Yet, my heart searches but findeth no cause. Strange! So strange But most strange are the streets of hades Though old, yet so strange. Oh! Those paths, the paths of hell The very path of lifelessness Therein Dr. Marcus doth trudge. No! Most strange is the story Why life has to be so ...

Did you know that spoken words are like arrows. Once they are spoken, you cannot bring them back. You only can wait to see where they will hit. Words are like a bullet that flies. Once they are set on flight, you cannot stop them but watch to see where they could land. Quotes are words, peculiar to the individual who says them. But they can heal a dying man with its soothing venom. You cannot underestimate what quotes are capable of doing to different individuals. Some find them very entertaining, others, very educating, etc. My name is Oscar Apuge, I just want want to share some of my quotes here. Hope you enjoy your time here. Love God never made a mistake when He said in His word that LOVE is the greatest of all commandments. Friendships Friend vs Enemy.            He who does not know his problems enemy will end up fighting his solution friend.  Appearance vs Truth  Remember the story of the Fig Tree in the Bible...
