OBDURATE THUNDER -BY BADA YUSUFF AMOO



 Mythical stories shrouded
Enacted rituals of the past
Masterpiece of economic chapter
Concoction of true false dividends
Accompany by the wind


Bring them more, bring them more
We are the singers of change
Recollecting our folk stories
Enjoyments of hungry bellies
The river bows to obdurate thunder 

The sun wig draws the parallel within
The river watches the thunder in awe
Like Joshua’s congregation waiting for miracles
Bring them more, bring them more
We are the smiling sufferers

Let the river hope for more thirst
The thunder clapping on mythical stories
Rounding about enacted past rituals
Pun punctuations on its passages
We are the hoping hopes after sunset

I remembered this particular incident that shaped and reshaped my closeness with family members vividly.

Mama Joseph sells recharge card and clothes, alongside studying. I noticed that Esse was always maltreated, she was a very nice girl to me and my mother, that much I can confess. I got talking with her one day, Esse, I called out, "Yes, Emmanuel, she answered. "Why is it that you always looked troubled ? She looked left and right and after a very deep breath, she was reluctant at first, but I persisted in trying to make her speak out." Finally she obliged, "I don't know the reason but,...

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 ...
