"A player is born" By: E. D. Oghre

They say I wear my emotions on my sleeve.
It's not my fault, that's just how I feel at ease.
I don't see the need to hide how I feel,
So it blows my mind when you lie with so much ease.

Forget the lines, this is not a poem, just how I feel.
I just can't believe you will play me like this.
I trusted you, I felt you were not like the rest of them, But you played my heart into the net,
Like it was a ball and you were CR7's boot.
You took control of me from head to foot,
And pulled my strings like sasorri's puppet.

I don't know what I did to deserve this pain,
Please tell me, what was my sin. All I did was tell you how I feel, I guess it's a crime to wear my heart on my sleeves.

Next time I guess I will know better,
Than to trust a girl, cause even the devil is better.

Forgot the rhymes, this is no poem,
Just a letter from the one you have scorned.
I hope you are happy now that you have won,
I guess I now know how a player is born.
The other girls have you to thank for this,
For you slew the gentleman,
Now a player has come.

Signed
E. D. OGHRE

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
