'Ke (Care)

 






Akanke,

Tell me if I lie when I say that the sun rises and sets with your beauty,

Tell me if it is untrue that upon your Innocence and womanliness does the moon set out to shine beautifully across the night sky.


Aderonke,

You know I don't tell a lie when I say that I want you.

It is without Shame that I go to bed at night imagining you lying on my bosom

Your head cradled softly in the crook of my arms

I wouldn't whine or shout for pain even if my arm was hurting

Because you mean to me more than a lost arm and perhaps a fractured bone.


Abike,

They ask why I don't stop singing your praises,

Why of all the maidens in the land, your name is what I sing from sunset to sunrise.


Am I to tell them of your sweet voice that I love to listen to as you fetch water by the stream?

Or of your tiny beaded waist that calls and entrap me as you walk past my house to meet Ajio, the cocoa merchant?


Or of your ample bosom that I want rest my head upon till the end of my life?


Or of how you break my neck (Dami lorun) with your beautiful face that shines like that of Osun the wife of Sango?


Asake,

Wo! Even though they claim men become corpses when they come for you,

Their souls being snatched away by spirits unknown,

I don't care to be an addition to the list, 

As all I want is to be loved by you.


Ajoke,

I want you to bear my last name, Ifatoba.

I want us to build a home together.

I want us to have kids that look like you and also like me.


Anike, 

Would you grant me this thing I inquire of you,

Or do you want to remain in your father's house by the next ten market days!!!

A statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande , quotes Osinbajo as saying this while receiving a delegation of Christian Ministers Welfare Initiative also known as the Pastors ’ Forum , Taraba State , at the Presidential Villa , Abuja yesterday. “ This morning, I had a meeting with the President and he repeated to me twice, he said ‘ at my age , there is only one thing I am looking for , I want to see a great Nigeria . ’ He has no other objective and I feel very inspired by that . It is madness for anybody in our position to be looking for money. According to him , God put people in a position of authority for them to be able to do something for their people. I think if any Nigerian gets the chance to be President of the country , there is nothing he / she is looking for anymor...

THE WILDFLOWER MOVIE REVIEW.

  Think of The Wait and how it made you feel. How it brought things you have ever seen, heard of or experienced right to you, that is exactly how you would feel with this movie.  This is a movie that is a must watch if you are a mother, an elder sister, if you are connected to a female one way or the other, this movie is for you. Trust Aunty Biodun Stephen to always give you real life and realistic themes and plots. Hence the plot of this movie is so close to home that I could remember some scenarios. But the movie was dragged at so many points. If you are looking for a movie that would kick you in the punch at once, this is not that movie. This is the movie that you have take your time to go through the prolonged actions and scenes, which was caused by some actors, who unfortunately were key players. Anyway, overall, I'd give it an 8/10. Plot is cool. Directing is cool. Delivery wasn't perfect for a lot to cast, even the top ones. Everyone was just at their relaxed mood, whic...
