LOVE - LORN


Love is like a juice
Some bitter, some sweet
Is it true that ribs can tell the kick of a beast from a lover's fist
Bruised bones record it well
The sudden shock, the hard impact
Thin swollen lids
Sore eyes spoke not of lost romance, but of hurt
Hate is often confused
Its limits are in zones beyond itself
And sadists will not learn that love by nature extracts a pain unequalled on the rack
Heavens hath no pleasures like a woman loved
Hell, also ,hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Guy, this work is beautifully crafted. I dont have any doubt that you have been bruised. And you're reflecting on the scars....Sure, shit happens wen u jam the incorrect female.....But, all the same, dont develop female-gender intolerance o. U need to get over it and move on.......

Leaders Wanted 2

M.K.O. Abiola Ibrahim Babangida Olusegun Obasanjo Umar Yar'Adua Chronicles of Nigeria's Leadership Decay (Part.2) Just like Mac Arthur Douglas [the American general] argued in his memoirs that judgment was a crucial determinant of successful leadership. An officer with poor judgment ought to be made to face court martial, he concluded. Obasanjo, not only made the wrong judgments in a preponderant number of his policies and decisions, even in his personal, turbulent and bohemian life, he was in general infatuated with poor judgment at same time addicted to so many transparent monkeyshines. The consequence of his abrasive tongue, his impulsive behavior and his almost surrealistic attachment to the smaller pleasures of life was that he came across as a rather plain man, even a rustic, transported by a freak of nature into positions far beyond his ken. A reporter once said that no man was so privileged to remake Nigeria history and no one ever made such a spectacular failure o

LETTER TO SHARON

16TH May,2007 Sharon dear , I acknowledge the receipt of your mails, the contents were explicit, i mean clearly understood. However, i apologize for my delay in replying, it was owing to unavoidable circumstances which i could not easily surmount. Well, you're reading a quite comprehensive one from me now. Frankly speaking, i must say that i admire your manner of approach towards everything. In recent times, i noticed your outstanding thoughtfulness, and i appreciate that. May be am fine or not. You'd asked me blandly in your mail to give you a 'lowdown' of happenings in 9aija. Sharon, presently we're awaiting the verdicts of the electoral tribunals and also the preparations are in top gear towards the May 29 swearing-in ceremony for Yar'Adua (the product of sham they called elections). Unfortunately, this is the tragedy of Nigeria's democracy. Those to whom we entrust our fate do not belive in rules and procedures, due process is strange to them,they lac

tHe vErDiCt Nigerians are afraid the country would descend into chaos should Yaradua and Jonathan be sacked. Na lie, nothing will happen. Nigerians are afraid the combination of Buhari and Atiku portends evil for our country. Dat one too na lie......... I think this is why the tribunal upheld the yawaa elections of 2007. The danger in sacking Yaradua's government cannot be as great as the danger of June 12. If you want to get it right, then do it right the first time. How do we expect good governance from a man whose very election was flawed and fraught with corrupt practises? People are gloating and booing Buhari/Atiku and hailing Yaradua. How funny! The same people who were chased away by PDP thugs in conjunction with some policemen and soldiers and prevented from voting. The same Nigerians who were brutalized and shocked beyond words at the figures coming out from Iwu's INEC. I now believe something is wrong with this country. Now the head of that tribunal is about to bec
