What love calls you: [For Ezekiel inioluwa ] Abike, The beginning of love isn't by reading the tales  of ìgbà ìwàsé But by mixing the risk of nature into the heart of òlàjù & making the meaning behind the company of òlòdümãrě That created the source of every inspiration in the language of Lìsăbî Who was sent into an exile for his verbal connection Among the ôrěkě on a footprint of his father's land. Abike, I know things may get worse than ökànmòlā The son of ìlārolè - father of all pistolholder Who was killed for saying the truth he ought to -- keep Infront of ógūn who sentence him to hawk into ìgbò òdàjù For 45 days without eating nor drinking Shall we say, love is a foolish book read many times And yet, the meaning is still not clear to hold onto -- Or we say: love is that medicine used without description nor expired date. Abike, When my love started with scribbling your names on my fìlà I mocked those legs out of date into the body of òdàmīlójū Beca

EKEMINI UDONNAH - THE CRAFTY PLAGIARIST. 2018 started on a clean note, giving a bubble of reassurance that plagiarism was going down the drain. But as it's popularly regarded "new year, new system" - the plagiarist dusted his shoulder and applied dynamicity in his attack. Art enthusiasts and spoken word lovers would testify to the fact that Philip Asaya released a mind blowing spoken word audio in 2017 titled Infractions, revolving around "jungle justice". Amidst the blue waves of commendations, the plagiarist decided to strike at him. The level of craftiness employed by the rogue, in name of Ekemini Udonnah leaves me in total awe. Ekemini converted Infractions to a prose work, scrapping off the title but the storyline and central theme remains contact. In fact, the lines employed were correlative to an extent. This is one of the reason why Trump sees Nigeria as a shithole country, how disheartening could it be when you can't pay someone for his energy in

CALL FOR SUBMISSION (an anthology of bubbling realities) Over decades unnumbered, the African continent has produced dexterous craftsmen in the literary industry whose impacts cannot be washed off in the speed of time. However, the African writer himself has been faced with a climate of troubles, ranging from building worthy contents to gaining attention, meeting up with standards of manuscripts, getting enough resources to pull a publication and getting the work serving as a bestseller in the world or one that would fade out in a month's time.
