THE FUNNY COGITATION - Akande Iqmat


   
What if i really don't exist
Maybe i am an illusion
What if they are not my parents
Maybe I was an adopted
What if this world is actually a dream
Maybe I've just been sleeping
What if i'm not the real me
Maybe i'm just a mirage
What if no one actually loves me
Maybe they are all pretending
What if i'm not in this world
Maybe i was only hallucinating
What if it's all not true
Maybe i was only thinking
What if it turns out to be true
Maybe i would then believe

OJA ALE (Night Market) -BY BADA YUSUFF AMOO

At Oja Ale The stars, the dew, the moon Transfix into the world of darkness To give life to those that sleep at night. Their ghostly voices, calling customers of silence To purchase from them, their aged dreams The sharpness of the falling dews Interrupting the dialogues of lone traders, wiggling  Their solo hymns, without a musical instrument At Oja Ale The market of misty walls and pavements They place their dreams on their feet and hawk With their hands on the earth, their heads at the centre Some are animal likes, with perpetual tails like satyr That form coniferous lines at the centre of the crowd Strangers experience the multiple metamorphoses That makes the heads float in the waiting cloud They are not evils; they are the other side of life Bewaji, My betrothed woman, daughter of the Gods Will you accompany me to Oja Ale? To explore the pleasures of dark miseries To visit these great traders the Gods mentioned in their verse ...

Why? Absence of image credibility is one of the major obstacles to the economic progress of the African countries, especially Nigeria. Expectedly, each country in the world has her own “brand image” for the sustainability of her economy. For Nigeria, such image is being tarnished due to poor economic management by the people of the country, making other countries, outside African continent to see the brand image of African countries from a negative perspective. To reveal this, Kazeem Ademola Adio identifies the cause of the problems and proffers lasting solutions to the negative image on Africa. He summarizes the way Nigeria as well as other African countri...
