Nigeria is no more a lad when it comes to the area of electoral processes. Since 1960 when the nation has been wearing the sovereign garment which marked the country as the independent one. We manage our potentials, we govern ourselves and no influence as during the colonialism. With three tiers of government, four years in office, as it is written down, there must be poll to fix out the credible leaders. Is all our elections bring credible leaders?
In Nigeria, except the June 12 1993 election that was marked locally, internationally as the credible one but the credible leader was not on the chair of honour. Only thing we heard afterward was the deceleration of his death. The country managed to live in destitute. It so ironical that a nation that is blessed with both human and natural resources can still bite her fingers at the end of the day. With the aim to halt this, Nigerians have been looking for ways of getting out this awful condition. One of the ways is election.

Since the leaders are not ready for the masses, let there be a new dawn to appear in the new day. Arise Nigerians! How would you cast your vote in 2015 general election? If a leader cannot help you, help the leader.
English the language of the colonial masters in Nigeria. Colonial masters bequeathed English to Nigeria as part of the ways of making Nigerians adopt their culture. Since language is part of the culture and culture is part of the language, Nigerians overwhelmingly adopted British culture and viewed it as the best gaze in the mirror. The prestige attached to British culture cannot be confiscated in English, the British language. However, many scholars with different opinions have argued on the existence of the English Language, whether it is a curse or blessing for the country. Some argued that, embracing English language is a curse to Nigeria, whereas some believe that it a force of blessing for the nation. The growth of the English language in Nigeria can be traced to the heterogeneous nature of Nigerian society. Nigeria is a country with many languages with at least of about 400 languages. Most of these languages are not mutually intelligible, that is, speakers of one la...
Editor’s note: Poetry is a genre of literature that encodes messages through the condensed language. Through its defamiliarised way of expressing the message, the tone of the poem, many times, appeals to different senses, making it to be musical and as it is injecting morals in the veil of the readers. A good poet is a model. This is an interview conducted by Poets from our Savannah, a Ghanaian WhatpsApp group, promoting poetry and young poets. The guest was Ms. CECILIA AMOAFOWAA SEFA and the host, Poetess Zulfaw, Poet Gbepo. Ms Cecilia Sefa is also known as Mom Cee. Poet Gbepo: On behalf of the entire house, I will like to welcome our mother, mama Cecilia to the interviewee seat! Mom Cee : Thanks. Poet Gbepo: Please, could you introduce yourself to the house? Mom Cee: I am Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia, (I love for my name to be in this order against the norm because of my love for my Ghanaian names, mostly abbreviating the last) I am a teacher, (Tamale Se...
A few decades ago a baby was born looking radiant like a redolent spice Her Eyes wide-open like she came ready for it all Cried out loud when she needed to be touched Mother’s eyes sparkled with love and some tears of joy Father’s heart filled with pride and a gratitude to God Everyone definitely knew a queen had just arrived Every hand seriously craved for a feel of her Her birth story is surely a tale like none other It’s worth being sang in an opera It’s a picture that must be painted for all to see This is indeed the story ‘the queen of my heart’ Written by: Hamidat Doyinsola & Kazeem Adio (C) 2022
