My Shadow

He clings to me everywhere I go

Walking after my steps like a torrid disciple

He neither uttered nor listened to my voice

Yet he copied my actions.

Black and good looking is he on the ground

Always humble himself to affright me

He neither change clothes or look dirty

His black is ever glowing.

A very good friend

that is ready to follow me to the end

He knew my hidden pictures

And never tell any being .

He martyr and relish with me

Never a day will he complained when he passed through fire

He act as calm as a pure phantasma

He pitifully listened to my problems

Yet he is not tired but he gave no remedy.

A true friend in time of perturbation

He has been with me from the day I was formed into the uterus

And he will surely go with me till eternity.

Memories of my puerility is rudimentary

Without my precious shadow

How can I find a true friend like you?

He's mirthful when I stood before him

He grows moldable while walking with him.

As long as I'm still in beingness

I will never forget your kindness

For you have made me know what a true friend is

Walking with me in perilous times

so long as I live, you are forever my alter-ego.

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.

Gombe, like many parts of Nigeria, is grappling with the dual challenges o...
