Depressed Bard.

I die many times

But I'm still alive

B'cause I'm yet to shine

I tasted death many times

Like a chef tasting his aromatic soup.

I preached like a wilderness parson

Telling men to do apart with suicide

yet, I woo suicidal thoughts

I wrote romantic poems to her

So she can have me to her bed.

Depression visited me like sudden visitant

He oppressed me with extravagant thoughts

He impressed me with hypertension

Yet he feed from my dining table.

What is the reason of my poetry?

That rhythm and rhymes datums pleasant

To my ears and my heart

Yet, the theme melodiously sing death.

My dominant diction is horror

Yet, I cloth my soul with fearlessness.

When shall I sing the song of hope?

My pen cries every night wishing to cut hope

The song of suicide has dishearten him

He couldn't shape hope; he only digs grave

My white field leaves in utmost fear

Because she carries the message around

like a royal town crier.

Death lives like a fearless man

giving men a great thought

Even when their heart has no food

they feed on death's food

Because they have forgot

that the fear of death is more tension than death.

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.
