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 to ensure ongoing valu

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

Several years ago, after his well thought-out campaign pumped him up into the kind of galvanizing governor Gombe citizens have never had, he has very much led his traditional state of Gombe Emirate, tucked away in the North-East of Nigeria (roughly, the once Tangale-Waja Chiefdom) onto the part of limelight and heavenly bliss, dwarfing every of his contemporaries in that region with his style of governance and management. And, the people, it seems, like fish to water, becoming used to evolutionary forward movements and improved standard of living in all facet of their lives would not want such lifeline discontinued. I am an occasional visitor to the state and have witnessed the man’s excellent statesmanship. My most cherished and private memorable impression of Gombe till date, remains, the last December, 2013, exhibition of charismas lightings; sparkling spectacle so warm and endearing, only Lagos has come close to similar non bias religion display of splendour .
