"When Its Your Turn Do It Right". By: EllaReina

To the youth of our generation;what do we call this infantile display of IQ of our so called leaders...They have said so many things to us in the name of change yet we took it hook,line and sinker because we believed we voted them in and so in this case every of our answers has to be yes to them.

Everyday is a new distraction (if it was relevant I won't even be pained)One time it was display of different letters (maybe they were doing a sort of grammatic competition i don't know because I'm yet to see the relevance of these letters). Later came news about huge amounts of money being kept in abandoned properties.

As if that wasn't enough those hopeless creatures fabricated stories about animals taking up human properties( please o when did money became food for snake for it to have swallowed 36million naira,abi monkey does not recognise banana anymore that it mistook money for it?). In addition to that...rat pursued Mr President out his office can you imagine?! With all these then i begin to wonder if all these happened in reality or just an imagination (probably from reading too many books such as animal farm). In addition to all this, our dearly beloved Mr President goes on an assignment supposingly to benefit the country but instead went speaking ill of the youth. Well truth be told we Nigerian youths are lazy! If we aren't why would we allow the drop dead oldies with old wisdoms rule over us while the able bodies are behind the scene.

Everyone now nurture this crazy idea of when I get to power "i want to get my share of the national cake" by looting the nation's treasure while the poor citizens suffers. Let's think about this,as a youth when we get the power to change this country...our people's welfare should be our priority not some sort of distraction and not let the oldies lead us astray. We have had enough of their display. Would love to continue but an adage says a word is enough for the wise. Thank you.

WHAT HAPPENED TO US By: E. D. OGHRE

Is this what it has come to Is this what it has become Who would have thought so Who would have believed we will be in this form *What happened to us* I remember when we became one Who would have known this day will come What happened to the promise we made And our plans to remain one Instead it has started to fade And we have forgotten where we came from *What happened to us* What happened to love and unity What happened to peace and prosperity Instead we build division and strive And no longer value our lives We start fights and live in lies *What happened to us* I still remember our promises But now we are in pieces What happened to in health and sickness With children or in barrenness Anger or happiness What happened to i will forsake anger for your sake And follow you anywhere even into a lake *What happened to us* We said in health and sickness Wealth and wretchedness For better for worse Even though we argue and curse You will remain in my he...

Christopher Sapara Williams made history on November 1879 when he became the first Nigerian to be called to the English bar.Born on July 14, 1855 in Sierra Leone although he was reported to have been of Ijesha origin, he studied law at Inner Temple in London and on November 17, 1879, he was called to the English bar.

Oĺòŕí Dèdòyíń By: Balogun Fatimah

Tall like a Lemonade tree, Her oval face caught my fancy. Her beam? It can make a furnace cold. Ońítèmí Dèdóyíń. Her colourful eyes, Like the feathers of a Peacock. Stared deep into my soul. Piercing my heart like a dagger. Her steps gives the ground, A fresh sound. Making footprints, Like a fairy Princess. Her calm nature? Is a sightly castle. Sitting gorgeously, Beside the beauteous ocean. A pest she can be, Whom you can't fumigate. But a jolly good fellow she is, Whom you would always admire. Her tiny hips, Adorned by Crystal illèkè Gave her bum, A new rhythm. The tree in Alààfíń's palace, Bowed to the fragrance, Of her scent. A stylish Olòŕí, She is perceived as. May Almighty God, Make my Queen, Live a long, And fulfilled life. *Ońìtèmí: My own* *Íllèkè: Waist bead* © *Balogun Fatimah Oluwatosin*
