WARNINGS OF SEVEN COMETS - BY ADURAGBEMI BARNABAS

I've had experiences in my life that leave no doubt in my mind about the fact that God exists. I'm quite willing to debate people who don't think so because I want them to explain how did our solar system get so organized and how is the universe so complex and yet well-organized that we can predict 70 years hence when a comet is coming?
                                           BEN CARSON.



Firmament materialized seven comets
In the praise of the newly born king
Their activities are brighter than many sunsets
Fragrance of peace flies almost with wing
And euphoria transcends the wizened hope of Milky Way.

Radiant apparition enveloped numerous mission
And in the cloth of men it unpredictably appeared
To rebuild bridge and broken mirror of blur vision
And the unworthy gypsy would on the throne chaired
Having quota in the will of endless light.

Shackles of the old garment and wineskin are broken
Sting of master of the underworld unarguably perishes
Access to mansions is presented in Faith's token
Humility lingers on the cross to catalyzes many riches
Precious blood buries goat to resurrect blameless sheep.


A new day has come and let darkness swallows its saliva
A new strength is outside to wake the languid dancer
A new blood is flowing on human conscience forever
A new rainbow married the sky for endless answer
A new trail has been constructed to journey destination.

These comets mustn't be a waste on broken appendages
That are falling on the slippery path of self-righteousness
Because on the altar of oneness abounds myriad advantages
And filthy rags of mufflers of many colours amount to no holiness
But in the Old and New writings lies the pillar of Truth.

In every society, there must be a leader. A leader who is ready to refurbish the land, lead by example and abides by the laws of the society. A leader who is respected by his subjects is the one that serves the nation relentlessly and bends for the rule of law. The law of every society defines its power, culture and tradition.

African drama and theatre started to emerge in Africa continent when British came to make their affairs of life imposed on Africans. They came with ideas; religion, education, business transaction, making Africa a raw material place where their solid land was built up by it.

A CRITICAL REVIEW OF A PLAY TITLED “ARMattan of VENOM” BY OLANIYI ABDULWAHEED

Playwright : Gege Baseran Title of the book : ARMattan of VENOM  (KOMMEDY of the Other ) Genre : Play Reviewed by : Olaniyi Abdulwaheed ………………………………………………………………………………………………….. It may not take an ordinary man to wipe the tears of a suffering land. The land that is full of chaos is not always friendly with orderliness. While some are working towards progress, many are blocking the estuaries to the sea of social development. In the land, people bargain their conscience with personal gain. People whose responsibility is to look after the social well being of the people, serve as the doctors to societal hills, are even the patients to be treated at the ward of the universe. Oftentimes, it is so painful to be in the harsh condition of social weather; when there should be breeze, it gives heat; when rain is required, it gives Harmattan, so everyone in the society shivers in the boulevard of penury and chaos. In this sense, Gege Baseran travels to the world of sage
