To those……a poem by kazeem Adio

To those who are lost
Help them find their way

To those who are weak
Help them with your strength

To those who are bereaved
Offer them some relief
To those who are conceived
Give them the support they need

To those who have lost hope
Give them something to look forward to

To those with no homes
Offer them an abode

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.

TELL HIS EXCELLENCY - BY John Chizoba Vincent

When you get to Aso Rock Help me inform his Excellency that I do not dislike him so much, just four   things he  made made me hate him: His change has change my boxers It made me change the Green Boxers   that Maria bought for me and now put on   the Black dusty one abandoned many years ago. His policies has taken all the yams in my   barns and left the place empty with scars To remind me of when I was who I was In the past of my past with a future of it. He allowed hidden hands the right to build   massive barns in a far land like a proud   possessors of big bags yet they have nothing but revival of pains hidden in people' pride. Tell him to bring back our corruption and   Take back his change that has looted us   We can return all his polished tall brooms Let him leave us to perish more in our doom.   (C) John Chizoba Vincent       Voice Of Vincent 2016

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. Through this, African lifestyle changed and wore another garment because of the predicament at the advent of British. Though Africans had their normal dramatization (in form of folklore), their experiences for the coming of British always feature in the African drama and theatre that was inherited from Europeans. The origin of African drama and theatre based on traditional, history, and contemporary dramatic forms in Africa which range from sacred or ritual performances to dramatized storytelling, literary drama, or modern fusion of scripted theatre with traditional performance techniques. The diversity in performances is as a result of massive spread of cultures and traditions in each country. A lot of t...
