Weaved in her tapestry, her essence,
Is a uniqueness radiating beauty and ingenuity.
Her versatility soaked fabric, her identity;
An unfanthomable awesomeness.
Her earth a glorious richness, her people faultlessly beautiful.
Her Character transmogrifying in positivity, this metamorphosis by the power of a LIFE higher than this.

Her history of colonization and slavery,
Enshrined a SEED which illumined her darkened estate.
She resolves to recapture her indigenousness,
This self awareness brightens her countenance; an intelligent people, a wise nation.

The intense scorch of the smiling February's Sun,
the fragrance of the earth from the years first rain, in April. A glorious moment!!
The gentle rustle of dried leaves effective of the cozy harmattan breeze;
Shaping her vegetation, her topography, her geography.

Her ancestry, an inexplicable wonder; Heritage, Culture, Value and Virtue.
Her girls gracefully sculpted, an impeccability of a potters artistic mastery.
Her young men finely polished, burnished bronze demeanour. Such fineness!
Her youths the truth known,
Informed and ingrained with just and truth.

One Nation bound in freedom,
Peace and Unity;
This is Nigerian,
This is African.

There lived a king named Gbaduze, a long living wealthy king, dark shinning in complexion, a man of his own very word and power embedded due to influence of the Niger-areas in Okere-aje kingdom. However, when death came calling, he died and the king makers ordered that the Queen to ascend the throne of her late husband and invariably preside over the affairs of the community. On ascension, she rigorously studied the existing relationship between the three major tribes in Gini. Q

This Allah must be a vampire! It must have become an ocean of blood and bones; this heaven. They must've turned maggots feeding on flesh; these angels. He must have looked away in shame and despair; this God. For ages they've murdered us in your name.

YOU ARE ENOUGH

Ignorance is protective. Because we know we will all die, Living is now a protest or an acceptance, like a waiting room where the minutes are in years. Like a dressing room for a grand performance. so we are preparing for a career, then a family then for retirement then... The concept of time is the scam of mortality, if we have to spend all our time minding it as we do currently. The norms about how you should live, what you should value and what path to follow were all made by society, if it was an LOC that was chosen by social evolution to make these rules, the members must be all dead now, maybe they would have now recommended changes based on prevailing reality.  The Society has prescribe these laws for it immortality but we won't live forever. We  are just  interruptions in the continuum of time, so ratify these values and choose your personal set.Everything is like everything else just until you decide to value one more.The power of money is in what it can buy and what t
