DREAMS OF A perfect FAMILY VANDALISED BY A FAKE IFA PRIEST




Who is man to God?
Who is God to man
How much distance do our prayers cover by land?
In relation to our circumstances and time

What does man think of what he sees?
And what does God see of what man thinks
Emmanuel; God with us
But Immanuel on Alakija Street is having spiritual blurred visions

On a trip to the priest to inquire of what the future holds,
Inheriting gold and paying exceedingly half its worth to verify if it’s gold
The tales of Alamu the one with the gift of palmistry

Brothers killed brothers,
Because the other has been identified to be,
The one who will inherit the gift of the fathers,
Which of my kids shall be successful?
Answers of which the priest shall deliver

A gift of wine, a gift of hen,
The fake priest gets fatter,
Worshipers of the deity that sip champagne and eat gizzards
Whilst living off the believers hazard

Your mother is a witch
Your sister is the glitch
Until your siblings die your lineage shall not succeed,
These priests wear suit, white garment;
All sought of things

Shouldn't religion unite rather than divide
Spiritual leaders picking their favorite side
Should neighbours know of the scorn between sisters?
My dreams of a united family, ruined by a fake Ifa priest.

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
