Wipe your tears My darling Roots

You hoped for glittering future;

But we inhabit sparkling pauperism

You dreamed of scintillant living

Yet we live in reality of bright panhandlers

World laugh at you when we strived to feed our deity

Your life spell "boondoggle" widely

Anf your saving box cries every night;

It hardly feeds on penny.

Many told you to curse your Creator

Telling you that your life is nugatory

We are neither blind or deaf to witness

Others successful story of goodness,

Yet many called us fruitless beings.

Papa et Mama wipe your tears

Never look at your pal's table

They wish you to be their puppet

To feed on crumbles falling from their table

Their dreams are not yours but their future.

Wipe your tears mama

I go to war like a farmer

That went to the wood

To search for greenwood

Where we can find our livelihood

Cry no more when I come not in time

The way is far and the path is full of thorns

I will scale through with your prayers.

Wipe your tears Papa

When no one stands by you

I will forever glue with you

let your tears be for joy; there's joy beyond the blue

because we may sow with tears

But farmers reap with bountiful happiness.

The black pot will bring crystal white

The fire may be too harsh but the taste lies in the pot

Let's endure the fire; the cup will soon run over.

When the joy is done, sadness will be no more.

Someday, I will make you fly high

Someday, we would have our sadden story crucified

Those who told us to curse Creator will advice us to magnify

One day, All our goodies will be multiply

My darling Roots wipe your tears.

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...
