Waning Sun

 




Like a waning evening sun, I watch you creep back into your shell,

Dimming your light and pulling together your curtains like an evening show just ended.

But there was no round of applause from you 

No rising ovation 

Or vote of thanks. 


Because it's just you and prolly I (who is hiding outside the door) 

Waiting for you to gift me a glance, 

Just a little turn of your head would have revealed me to you

And maybe you'd find in my eyes, my obsessive love for you. 


And just like it is always been, you don't see me  crushing on you, 

You don't notice me noticing you all day, all night 

You don't notice me preparing my gun to shoot my shot at you. 


And just like a waning evening sun, you wrap it up like an evening show, 

Your face bereft of its usual glow and radiance, 

No shadow of smile tracing your lips, 

Your blue angelic eyes looking like they have set gaze on better things, 


Slowly, you fade into yourself, 

Covering up your heart like a tortoise shell, 

Building tons and tons of barricades against it, 

Guarding it with the gravest looking lock. 


Stay a little while, my queen

Shine a little, my love

I know you are tired of all the games all, 

I know your heart has become wary of men's lies and deceits. 

I know you'd rather be on your own than give another another chance, 


But i beg you my lady, 

Stay a little while and wait for me!!!

King Of Swazi chooses Wife, Publicly Test Girls' Virginity As They Dance Naked. (Photos)

A common tradition in Swaziland (Swazi) permits the King, Mswati, to choose a new bride every year. This is done in a festival named Swazi Reed Dance Festival where girls are paraded and tested publicly to know their virginity status. It has been a long time tradition in Swaziland and not the first time this controversial issue is making it into the news. Although, many consider this barbaric and backward, it’s a tradition the people willingly embrace as the aim is to help King Mswati choose a wife. As part of Swazi custom and norms, that time of the year has come, when the King chooses his bride and again, he has reportedly tested some of the volunteered girls’ virginity before choosing a wife for himself. Thousands of pretty virgins’ were seen in this year’s edition dancing topless for King Mswati III, on what is called the Reed Dance ceremony, also known as Umhlanga), hoping to be his next wife. The Reed Dance ceremony is an annual Swazi and Zulu tradition hel...

Ijakumo Movie Review

  Whatever this movie was set to give, it didn't give.  Even the stripping is not giving. Why is the Sharon girl sex talking like she is doing spoken words???  I liked the babe in "Listening Ears", but I feel she is not 'mature' enough theatrically for this role. Wait, what I noticed was that Toyin and her crew didn't know there was a girl who looks like the Sharon girl in his church. A very crazy error that no director should make. If they had come in with this, maybe the finding out they were twin bla BLA BLA suspense would suspense well. But as the director or script writer were very myopic, the twin shii didn't hold water. If they had said or showed that they picked the Ugandan girl because she looked like the Nigerian girl in his church, e for make perfect sense. Seriously, I am miffed. The only thing that thrilled me was Kunle Remi and his lines. O mard gan. 🤣🤣🤣 "Emi mimo ni kin gbenu sohun". 🤣🤣🤣 "So, idi Uganda lo Fe baye mi j...

Sista Movie Review

  The opening scene did me in. I read somewhere that the first few 5 minutes of a movie determines if it is worth it.  Trust me, Sista movie hooked me in less than 5 minutes. I loved the straight to the point opening. No show of the Third Mainland Bridge. No lazy show of Lagos traffic. Nothing. Also, the past/present sequence made crazy sense.  Seeing Kehinde Bankole in that role is refreshing, it's not what she is used to, but she did well. Chimezie was quite not in character, or maybe he didn't bond with Ade Herself. I don't know. He is better than what I saw him act here. As usual Aunty Ronke Oshodi Oke gave it her all. This Tope Owokoniran babe tried with her Hausa accent. I love it!!! I think this is the best of her I have seen so far. I'd say this is a movie Aunty Biodun Stephen put her everything to make. This is a beautiful work of art. I love every piece of it. The story line is dope. Directing is flawless. The fun part was that even though It was predictable f...
