DEMIGOD AT TWENTY

 



Beginning of my existence is not a mistake,
I'm a god incarnated in human flesh,
Working wonders like the Israelite's Messiah
Here am I, a preacher of good tidings and happiness.

Through dark and dusty way,
I crawled to walking like tortoise.
Heart and brain were filled with sapience words
Strength is in measure with Samson
I prophesy like the holy priest Aaron.
    
Cage life begins,
I was clothed with prisoner's blues 
Beaten like Messiah to recite alphabet in the burning cage.
Bird born to sing is bonded in the burning cage.
Pedagogs beat my hands like a rock, 
Hoping hot tears to flow from the vision department.

Thinking like the gods,
Yet my shoulders never uprise my head,
I was made from the precious sand,
yet, I trampled not my feet hard on mother earth,
least I killed the weak worm.


When failure echoes loudly on my face,
whispering death and shame into my heart,
My spirit rise like a burning vengeance sword
Ready to eliminate the sentence and write "never will thou give up!"

Being god on earth, red ink appear boldly,
on my daily diary, giving me the omen of failure.
Why would a god have red ink?
My head came dropping like a depressed saint.

Grow till you become toothless
Is human's way of say die
They blessed in reserved tongue,
But I Demigod knows I'm growing to graveyard,
What would become of me after death?

Still breathing, Nothing to show the world,
Save my book, pen and my living words,
And Divinity's goodness in my wretched life.
My living worth not earth's possessions.

The candle is still burning,
When earth is filled with thorny lies,
My words will burn the dry and green thorn -
Into ashes like a tempestuous fire.

I survived through the grace of Almighty
And through the love of my aphrodite.
I live the present to serve with black hair,
And worship in the future, the Almighty with white hair.

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...
