 FIFTY YEARS OF LOVE AND MORE! Fifty years of love and more! Just like yesterday; Today, you are 50 in this journey! But that is not the end; We see you waxing stronger! Fifty years of love and more! Many times of learning patience; Putting up with each other’s frailties! Fifty years of parenting; Many years of thanksgiving! Fifty years of love and more! Your days never begun with boom; There were moments of gloom! Your days were of imperfections; Yet, you grew into such perfections! Fifty years of love and more! From existing all by yourselves; You grew in numbered children! You begot children and offspring; Lo! You have become grandparents! Fifty years of love and more! You began all alone as a couple; Today, your blessings are unnumbered! You may not have them in material terms; Yours are gifts of people and relationships! Fifty years of love and more! Yours are years of service to God; Serving humanity selflessly! Yours are of sojourning and ministering; Years of learning and i...

 NIGERIA, THEY HELL THEE! Nigeria, they hell thee! Once prospective and successful; Now merely destructive and stressful! Once a giant to be reckoned with; Now living and glorying in the past! Nigeria, they hell thee! The land that gave Africa hope; But now hopeless as an egg with a toddler! The land, blessed with riches and wealth; Scarcity, hunger and strikes, are our trends! Nigeria, they hell thee! Blessed with natural resources; Struggling to make developmental strides! A land where food used to be in abundance; To afford garri now is to live in affluence! Nigeria, they hell thee! A land where the naira competed with the dollar; But now a sack of it cannot afford a dollar! A land of economic strength and boom; But now the capital of the world recession! Nigeria, they hell thee! Our fatherland as we sang in the recent past; Our motherland we have to sing today! A land where change of Anthem is possible; But the change of character is impossible! Nigeria, we hell thee! Your troo...

 WHEN I BREATHE MY LAST!  When I Breathe My Last! I shall be alone in the journey; With no one accompanying me. I shall travel and never return; We may only meet in the Great Beyond. Only if you make it there with me! When I Breathe My Last! I shall travel and leave you in marvel; You will wonder if we will ever meet again! No one can stop me on the voyage; We might only journey here together. Only if you behold what I see in the Land! When I Breathe My Last! My wife will look for me; She will call me out the way she has so christened. Mine! Mine! Mine or Baby; But reality will dawn on her. Only if she beholds where I am going! When I Breathe My Last! Posterity--JokNom--JenA̱gwaza; Will only remember that they used to have a "daddy." There may be no one supporting them; That is when they will muse and miss me. Only if they know that this life is transient! When I Breathe My Last! My workplace may only mourn for a day or two; And someone will assume my responsibilities! The Ch...
