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.

The So Called Queen By:Salawu Olubunmi

_The so called queen of the zanger A woman of misery and deceptive appearance Wags tongue in a swordlike How angelic she be when seeking the honey frm it's comb With her romantic but deceitful display The first sight of her left me in dismay First encounter with her was heartrending Such a sweet poison A devil in disguise wit an angelic face The so called queen can neither be embraced nor avoided.

THE GCE GIRL By: OLUSEGUN AKINSANYA

Every year we welcome into our community several teenagers between 13 and 17 from far and near. They are both male and female. They have the same mission. They have come to write General Certificate Examination (G.C.E). Most of them are penultimate students in secondary schools. These little fellows have been fixed at centres nearby to write their exams and the people that brought them have accommodation as part of the payment agreement. Some of these children are leaving home for the first time. Some of them look like mom's pets. Immediately they hit the town, you see a lot of ambiance and noise, something like a carnival. They make noise in the morning while looking for water for domestic use and in the evening when they are back from their different centres. It's always a new experience for most of them, and they seem to enjoy it: yea, they seem to enjoy being away from home for a whole month, a kind of escape from the eagle eyes of their parents; they seem to enjoy a t...
