LIFE

At baby's stage, I feed on milk

My hands pure and stained with nothing

I experience love and care from everyone

I was treated like a king

Covered with royal skin

Cherished by everyone

Life continues

Crawling was easy

As a kid, I was blessed a sheep heart

with a smooth skin

But it was not the same while crawling

Kneel become thick like buffalo's skin

Royal skin began to fade away

The reality becomes obvious

Being distance from a dirty royal kid

Clock ticks so fast

I had to start walking

It was a heavy task

To take a step is difficult task

I summoned courage to

Start walking but

My first step led into disgrace

Everyone laughed at my mistake

I wasn't discouraged

I tried again and again

Till my foot glue to the ground

Then I took my first step

That enlighten me that I'm bigger

than my difficults

Time flies

A grown man I am

Yesterday's king with royal skin

Now a workaholic

Tilling the ground

Watering the hard ground

Begging the stony ground to

Produce green leaf

I'm purposefully

Working to have a better life

The grey hair period

Was my greatest expectation

Thinking of my impact

And my importance in this world

I took my pen to mark all

Deeds

But red ink was all in my

Pamphlet

What have done in my youthful age?

Why have you been so fast oh time

Thou flies so fast

My poor soul cried in red

But my heart ministered that

The creator didn't expect us to

Solve all the problems

But to find solution and

And work on it.

Kwara State Polytechnic Mass Communication Graduate Emerges Best Fellow at the 2024 Young Communication Fellowship

As I read about Mosunmola Esther Ajibade’s recent achievement, lines from the Kwara State Polytechnic anthem echoed in my mind.

Corps Member Tackles Unemployment in Gombe with Fish Farming Training

A bold new project aimed at transforming the lives of 100 young people in Gombe is underway, as Ishaq Abdullahi Shehu, a dedicated National Youth Service Corps member from Kano State, turns his agricultural expertise into a community development program. The initiative focuses on modern fish farming techniques designed to combat youth unemployment and boost local food production. Ishaq, a graduate of agriculture from Kano University of Science and Technology Wudil with specializations in forestry, fisheries, and wildlife, is committed to changing the perception of farming. “Agriculture must be seen as a viable business, not just a way of life,” he explains. His program centers on the innovative Recirculatory Aquaculture System (RAS), a method that recycles water through mechanical and biological filtration to allow for high-density, sustainable fish farming while minimizing the use of land and water. Gombe, like many parts of Nigeria, is grappling with the dual challenges o...
