I PLEDGE… - BY OLANIYI ABDULWAHEED


By the time the world was raw
By the hills that hewed the earth
By the seas that shaved the shore
With the sky that clothed the heaven
With the thorns of the tongues
Despite new world was torn
And life was tattered
And the malice of the monarch
And the wrath of lies
Truth would soon unlock
The world locked by lies.

As the old one dies, sweet tales of modernity  Emerge from the shadow of fainted lips. The nocturnal will light the ambience of this Land wit...

It had dignitaries from all over the country in attendance. The event which was predicted by many, especially in the literary world, to be a flop took a lot of people by surprise and turned out to be a huge success. It took place on Friday 15 th  December, in BBCM Auditorium, 28, Owokoniran Street, with a wonderful movie, just to help the traveling and already tired audience rest a bit, before awards presentation started.  The Award red carpet started at  8pm , as against  7pm  by Miss. Sissy Dirisma of Sissy Plans, who welcomed most of the exited and curious nominees and dignitaries to the event, most of who came late as a result of too much traffic in Lagos that night.
