The Nigerian Dream: Untold Story of Olajumoke Alao-Sanusi

A Nigerian bride wearing Fix U makeup during her traditional wedding

Without a father to turn to for help, wisdom and guidance, her eyes welled up with tears all over again as she mentally weighed the glaring options before her - Should she strive to become a student of a Nigerian university; but who would pay her tuition… or should she just hit the streets of Lagos and resume her fruitless search for a job?

The Simplest Way to Write Poetry

Before I begin, let me first of all state here that poetry does not have to about lush green fields, jagged slopes of a valley or the voiceless whispers of the wind. Rather, it could simply be a short narrative of a story - this story could be scary, inspiring, exciting, sad, intriguing or just plain drama. Whichever way, strike to tell your own story. Don't kill yourself trying to write like Soyinka or any of those Nigerian authors you admire - create your own voice and let it grow it's own wings and fly.

A good example is this dark poetry I just read. It's titled 'When Bunnies Attack' - Here's an extract below:

A Looming War Against Smokers in Nigeria

Now that the Federal Govenment of Nigeria is proposing a 6-month jail term for anyone caught smoking in public, do you think this will just go down as another wasteful effort or does it have the potential to achieve the desired aim of curbing smoking in public places?

Will it work?

- Simply Samad

The Weather in Lagos Has a Bad Plan

It appears to me that the sun and heatwave in Lagos have drawn up a wicked alliance to reshape my destiny. Dear God, I look unto thee and reject any such editing plan to my life. It's so hot right now. *Strong-frown*

- Samod Biobaku

The Dying Priest

A Priest was dying in a hospital and asked the doctor to call a NigerianPolice Officer and a politician.

Within minutes, the two appeared. He asked them to sit on either side of the bed. The Priest held their hands & kept quiet.

The guys were so touched and at the same time felt very important for being summoned by a Priest in his dying moment.

Out of anxiety, the Politician asked, "But why did you call us?"

The priest gathered all his strength and said, "Jesus died between two thieves... I want to go the same way."

A Message to all Ladies Who Have Ever Fallen in Love

Beauty attracts men but wisdom keeps them.
Elegance catches men's attention but intelligence convinces them.

Nagging irritates men but 'constructive silence weakens them. The 'boy' in every man pumps out occasionally, the ability to handle this is a woman's truest maturity.

Men have secret struggles and silent pains, should you ever find them out, you have exhibited the greatest maturity. In the long-run your 'words' matter more to a man than your 'looks', so invest the right words.

Earn a man's respect and he will consider you the yard stick for all his action. Learn to mold the moods of your man. Men will naturally give u their futures if they can recall your maturity in yesterday's issues…

Women are everywhere but queens are scarce. Let the queen in you come alive and he will hold you in high esteem.

Just my thought!
