Giant strides and strikes Years dedicated to scribes Hours reflectively penning Joyful in castles of pennies Happy I forever am; be Identified with you lofty tribe

  Recently I had my phone stolen and in the process lost a lot of my documents. I felt so bitter; I decided to suspend MTN, my network provider. You see, it was MTN sim card that was in the phone. Yeah, you’ll want to ask what relationship has MTN with the thieves who stole my phone. That was the question practically everyone I told the story asked. But, I did not care and I would always say, ‘I cannot be bothered by a network that allowed its sim and my phone stolen,’ but, the real reason was, I had two other network and phone to use. But, when it done on me that I was losing too many clients and close friends and families who were familiar with the line and who preferred to call it stopped calling, I quickly joined the ‘welcome back,’ queue. I’m glad I did go for a ‘welcome back’ because in the process, I met two fine young men at the MTN center, Abulegba, Lagos, one of who attended to me kindly and speedily, resolving all issues; but had misconception about ‘the writer’ and...

Introduction In presenting a work that is well written, you strive to communicate your point of view and, or other information effectively. Your readers and audience are made to be in no doubt as to your style, purpose or direction. Being logical and following a clear-cut structure and convention are fundamental to all writings: Meanings must be clarified by language and grammars expressed in simple terms, word usage must not be confusing and so should punctuation rules be properly and consistently followed. In addition to being constant in following a focal path with a governing theme that explains or advocate particular concern, create tension, if need be, to suck in your reader. Be yourself and give your readers room to play their role. The appropriateness of any writing depends on its objectives and among whom the writ up are to be primarily circulated. And, even though every writing address different needs and differ in volume, length, structure, focus, and style, they al...

Broke, oblique, banish to dungeon Deface, defame what flavour in her Beauty is deep, beyond surface, faux Is, handiwork of God, Eros craftsman She can shift; soft to shattering strength Yet, wooly she is, she wants; velvet and kind Willingly walking the miles living to let live In Being, in spirit, in submission unimaginable Here's beauty, true diamond, no freak Carrying burden in mold, in words in mystery Yet captivating to eyes beholding her shine Like effervescent river she flows, like smoke, seen.

Date : From: .................... .................... To: .................... .................... Dear Sir/Madam. APPEAL FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE . I am, on behalf of my family hereby requesting for financial assistance from your good office for the heart operation of my grandson who is now confined at st. Nicholas Hospital. He was diagnosed last month, July 20, 2015 through an audiogram test (attached) and the doctor a nd other examiners from St. Nicholas stated that my grandson would need an operation because two arteries blocked would require operation t o be corrected . The heart operation, we have been informed will cost 1.5 million dollars at St. Damian and 1million dollars at St. Nicholas Hospital. I have chosen to have him do the operation at St. Nicholas Hospital to cut cost . However, I have since ran out of cash because of the huge money needed to carry out the operation. And , all the money I have spent and had to borrow up to this stage. Hence t...

The management of Afriland Properties Plc notes with concern, recent reports relating to its transaction to redesign and redevelop the iconic Falomo Shopping Centre in Lagos. These unverified reports have implied that, the contract with the Lagos State Development and Property Corporation (LSDPC) was terminated on the grounds that the concession terms are “grossly detrimental” to Lagos State and its residents. The reports also claim that Afriland Properties Plc only made a payment of N50 million for a 50-year lease of the government-owned land. Though the authenticity of these reports isunconfirmed, Afriland strongly refutes the suggestion that it has engaged in any misconduct or that the transaction is in any way detrimental to the people and government of Lagos State. We are strongly committed to creating a world class project, which will act as an economic magnet for central Lagos, creating opportunities for Lagosians and which crucially has been structured t...

Is the greatest wonder ever, the creation of 'The woman?' Think of it-the delicacy of features; the sex and the beeeauty of it; the mystery of pregnancy and birth; the emotions-whether hate, love, support, usage - can't do with or without; etc, etc...Yeah, the 'woman' has got to be, the most creative ingenuousness - of nature or God. Good day.

Family or friends aren't always bloodlines or those you grew up or growing with. They're them: Who remember to ask 'how are you?' Would say, 'hello,' no matter what came or may; Who were reachable, there in your dark or light hours; Who offer shoulders in your struggles or to bask sharing triumphs; Cause you smiles and at other times frowns at whether fair or harsh weather. Inevitable, no matter how, how long or if, we all go through rich or lean times. Who'll be there for you or you for? Who you with? Who are you? Be wise, be beware, be warned, be one.

Dear All . I pray that this letter meets you all in good health and, if not, brings you miracle of turn around in fortunes and abundant blessings. Any given day, there is bound to be something taking off/starting in the world. This could be birth, death, openings, launch, celebrations, write a letter, poem, short story, publish book, etc. Such happenings could be news worthy, not at all or perhaps, at the beginning not seemed or seen as significant at the time of occurrence but would or may turn out to be; become milestone, historical, etc that would influence numbers of people for good. Such is the uncertainty and beauty of 'beginnings.' And, the main reason I believe that, to take a plunge, start something or make your dream a reality is so exhilarating and worthy was what I experienced in the past and witnessing in a friend of mine who is fifty, has spent half of those years in successful business and has started a university degree course he thought was beyond him. Sinc...

Aside dispensation of truckload troubles always Aside disease, disabilities and overrun graves Lives are lived in ambit of dreads and anxiety That even at shade in deserts or safety of caves Ones voices are shackled by the constant fear Of battering booths out to beat and scotch Thoughts of dissent, or cacophony of no praise With weeps that sing like boiling kettle; that Spit venoms, peeling and engraving coverings That draw shrilly cries like from hissing furnace Truly horrific is earshot of it: inconceivable, yes Yet none who has not lived such vile impunity Can imagine, in fact, the blessed relief of being Alive and living in liberty; in free willed habitation

In what name or blend is sweet to behold In fragrance unique, teasing and alluring In freedom from strife, beloved and dear Irritated reel, twitchy as nutty like thunder The rose is a creation well poised Self sufficient to bloom to all admirers With thorns as protection for beseeching hands Only the careful and caring invited to pluck So, when rose is seen standing afar alone Do not for once think she does in despair For the hunger that feeds on her beauty Troubles her with too a relentless longing The world in its guise is filled by pretenders And the rose full of acumen sensibly knows
