THE WORLD FAÇADE. By: Oluwajimi.J.Thorpe



O God, my Creator, is it a curse you made me a Black man?

My Creator, is it a sin to be Black that my people are being killed unjustly around the world?


O God, is it my fate that I was the one that laboured and tilled the ground for the survival of the world?



My Creator, why is it that I tend to be raped, abused, maltreated and exploited without getting JUSTICE?


O God, they made us conspire against one another.


My Creator, why did you allow me to work as a slave?


Why, did you allow me to be taken away from my ROOT through the stone way, to an alien land?


Why did you make the world seem one-sided, and I being the specie for it's labour, experiment and exploitation?


O God, after the abolition of slave trade, they came again with a more advanced extortion concept called, MODERNIZATION THEORY, which was conceptualized from one geographical region.


O God, they tend to propel MY LEADERS with sanctions, wars and blackmails to accept policies that would continue to make us underdeveloped.


O God, they say we are CORRUPT, but they tend not to understand that their THEORIES are based on deceit and corruption.


O God, my Creator, I am now a slave to THE PURCHASING POWER PARITY (PPP).



O God, my Creator, that is THE WORLD FAÇADE.


O my Creator, make me an IMPREGNABLE FORTRESS.

Who would tell the Blacks ‘’SORRY’’?
Civilization started in me and civilization would end in me. Oluwajimi Thorpe

Painted their soul with my flowers. Left my prints on their canvas. Their rough lines, I made into edges Cracks I filled with my energy. I wanted them to be art. I made them my art. I gave too much. They left me empty. ©Similafleur

It’s Dangerous to use broom to mash ‘ewedu,’ Gastroenterologist warns

Using a small bunch of broomsticks, known as ijabe, to mash ewedu (mallow-leaves) is very common among Nigerians when preparing the slimy soup. However, medical experts have said that the age-old practice is actually fraught with dangers. Ewedu is also known as Rama ayoyo  among Hausa, while the Igbo call it Kerenkere. Dr. Adegboyega Akere of the Department of Medicine, University College Hospital, Ibadan, on Wednesday, advised women and caterers to desist from the practice. Akere, a Consultant Gastroenterologist, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Ibadan that food handlers should always use blender for ewedu and every other ingredient used in cooking it. “They should not use broom to mash the vegetable,” he said. Akere said this is because ewedu soup that is mashed with broomsticks could still retain splinters of the broom, however minute. He said that when eaten, the splinters from the broomsticks could get trapped inside the oesophagus or the intestine. Akere ...

Painful letters By: Marvee

Every time I feel this way This terrifying kind of pain These twitchy palms and muffled sobs These weakened sights and mindless slob I would think of something To put me at ease, anything At times, to leave my world And be someone else, not a dud Often times I would write on plain sheet Write till my limbs felt weak Write till the page is covered in ink Write till the painful times shift.                                              ©-Marvee
