Birth of a great star

For Alhaji Kazeem Adio

On a splendid day a star
Rose in the sky,
Brightening the day
With his mercy
And generosity.
Like the shore,
He absorbs
Every being.

This stars glows
Every day
May Allah make this star
Continue to brighten
The land,
Lead us
Successfully.

A REVIEW OF DENJA ABDULLAH’S PLAY DEATH AND THE KING’S GREY HAIR - By Olaniyi Abdulwaheed

Image
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. The uniqueness of a tradition in a particular nation is reserved in the constitution and how the people of the state respect the rule of law. When the power of a nation is given to a particular person to maintain orderliness, peace and harmony reigns if the ruler or king obeys political culture.

Let us place our hands on a romantic roam, As we flake through historical attention, The popular Idi-Arere, as one to mention, My smile is yours, on a cosmic glow. . Please my heart, Adufe, Grease my heart, Let pleasure finds itself a home, But through your palms, Goddess of beauty that fissures, Such that men hold, then seizures. . But what ode shall please such beauty's lineage? Such that flaunts, like a maiden's cleavage, Perhaps, I know of honour’s bower, Orita-merin should stand our tower, No doubt, my heart beats like a rising sun, You make me, Oh Adufe! Pulchritude's pun, Let my flanges sieze yours,on a long run. II A...

A REVIEW OF KAZEEM ADEMOLA ADIO’S “STRATEGIC REPOSITIONING OF NIGERIA IN THE GLOBAL MARKET”

Image
TITLE: Strategic Repositioning of Nigeria in the Global Market” Author: Kazeem Ademola Adio Genre: Economics Reviewer: Abdulwaheed Olaniyi Pages: 65 Despite the abundant human and mineral resources, Nigeria as well as other African countries has been given sobriquets which often prevent her to rise economically. Why? Absence of image credibility is one of the major obstacles to the economic progress of the African countries, especially Nigeria. Expectedly, each country in the world has her own “brand image” for the sustainability of her economy. For Nigeria, such image is being tarnished due to poor economic management by the people of the country, making other countries, outside African continent to see the brand image of African countries from a negative perspective. To reveal this, Kazeem Ademola Adio identifies the cause of the problems and proffers lasting solutions to the negative image on Africa. He summarizes the way Nigeria as well as other African countri...
