TO KNOW I GOT YOU (WONDER WOMAN)

Omo, you dey make my heart dey beat

Thinking of you, my mind dey sweet

Like Chike I wan dey run to you

Dem say life na suru

But for you I be Eran Nuru


I still smile when I think of you

Revisit talks I had with you

I dey bless God because of you

Like which material he use make you?


Not perfect but we need to be

In case you're wondering, same applies for me

But I know enough to not judge me

Like I wouldn't want to judge me


You're like a dream come true

Everyday I wanna shout out to you

You remind me of Queen Esther

You're one great queen, remember!


That mercy and dear compassion

You are my friend, my dear companion

Relating don't have to be romantic

Forgive me my dear antics


But it's good to know I've got you

Someone brave and down-earth humble

You no dey do gra gra, you no dey fumble

See how freely I speak with you?

Means the world to me, true!


You're a woman but you are my bro

And I respect you kindly, aburo..

For a very dear friend, and her wealth of kindness. It's been an honour to know her truly. This is based on and dedicated to her as well. Thank you for all you do Bella Fuego.

IT IS A TERRIBLE THING TO NOT KNOW HOW GREAT YOU ARE

Hello, and welcome to Haven Incorporated. This is the very first post minted in our press, and hopefully the continuation of something great. We hope you find value in this space and find it a place to stay. It's indeed a terrible thing to not know how great one is. Usually, we hear warnings to desist from pride and cease from arrogance, that pride goes before an unpleasant fall and humility comes before honour. But having a healthy sense of self and worth is not as emphasised. And I dare say, it's better to be proud than falsely humble! Just tonight, I saw a man who didn't know how great he was, and it pierced my heart to see him so. Maybe he knew, but only humbled himself for the moment, but I didn't think it necessary for him to have done so. But it's terrible to not know how great you are! It occurred to me that culture and tradition, perhaps, makes us stagnant and backwards in the face of progress. It is true that we learn great virtue and core valu...

THE LITTLE FAN

Blood on my hands, but it's only mine, Scratching the tissue while the blood flows out: The scars disappear before morning comes, No, for my sake, you won't catch me mourning storms! Job done, tissue discarded, What was the issue we all regarded? Won't catch me acting all retarded; Break up the group, you're all disbanded. I hope you aren't acting clever? Before you wound yourself forever. All that I am, I gave my blood, I went through a really difficult curve, So don't play me for the fool I'm not, Before you wound yourself for nought. Pain is my only companion, Sleep is a distant friend; Don't know what to do, Just want it to end. Moving out like tidal wave, Just want it to end. Asking myself the question, Who did I offend? For this pain, I can't compare. Sometimes I ask myself, why I'm the way I am, Then someone does something, And I remember why I chose to be this way 'Times I'm quickly angry I don't like being offended Especially...
