What has Ebay done? By: king45prime

The title is a question,
A quest to discuss on.
From me, the writer
To you, the reader.
Both here to appreciate but not to analyse the thought process of a teacher.

So what has EBay done?
There's a crime in the world,
With the larger population not wanting to address it.

Quick to point accusing fingers,
But fail to learn our lessons.
Blame it on ignorance but lack of knowledge makes the people perish.

Nobody wants to teach the little ones,
The old ones hide their failures by not teaching history
In a country where majority are carried away by wealth with the source being mystery
Short cuts can be taken so far the game can be won.

Many student look forward to being entertainers,
As it looks, like a sure source of income.
The Nigerian dream.
But because our elders have only spoken and not worked, there haven't been a Nigerian dream.
Leave Nigeria, thats the Nigerian dream.

I hear someone asking, what has Ebay done?, and how is eBay consigned by this National issue.

I was asked to write a poem for publication for the great Wole,
Something special, an Olé
But his struggles i admire but can't identify with,
I follow eBay and see what he has been trying to do with our kids.

How to hide something from these kids these days is to put it into ink,
But eBay is a finding them the roadmap so they all can think,
Only few people really want to teach.
But give it to eBayism,
Its everything that he is.

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
