ASUU MAY HEAL THE STRIKE TODAY

   

Association of Staff Union of Universities may heal their persisting four-month-hold 
 industrial strike today. This is realized due to the invitation for dialogue the president sent last week, to hold an indoor meeting with the head of ASUU today. The meeting is the preview of hope that may rise probably this week, so ASUU may end their strike and students resume to school afterward.
   However the association has urged the president, in case there is no positive outlook, there is should be no threat to forceful re-open the Universities in the country because it may end up with no avail.

Return of The Guardian literary series

MY VICINITY – BY OLAOBAJU OLAKUNLE OLAMIDE

Staring from the eastern side   At the dungeon   Motorable for suppressed masses   As cars, motorcycles tricycles Battle for survival   Like trees buzzed by wind By uncontrollable jigging jagging   On the road Staggering front and back   To find balance   Walking on the smooth road   With cans, nylons, papers   Struggle with me for passage   As I trudge on them mercilessly   Playing on the pitch   The "grassless" Bernabeu   Fields are green   But mine are brown   Stony than the Zuma rock   Racing to and fro   Chasing the piggy round leather   To win   Gain the cheers   Of the silent side trees   And cooing birds of the air   For they our spectators be My vicinity   My vicinity   My vicinity © OLAOBAJU OLAKUNLE OLAMIDE               (#KMIXERS)    ...

Which of the deities Will move Osin'mole?* Who will envy the Tortoise, Olakaye,* chesting  the gourd To the palm's neck And the cleverer snail leave – Unpraised, backing his own To the palm's peak? However heavy the rain On the skin of the soil, It will never wipe blank The Leopard's spotted shirt. NOTE: *Names of the god of metallurgy, war, creativity and destruction in Yoruba world of reality. © Ogunyomi Israel Abidemi 03/07/2017 1: 30 PM
