Hawk and Snake

 
From the fruitful tree,
They sighted us like prey,
We have nowhere to go,
than to swiftly crawl into dusty soil.

Poison lies in our venter,
Which makes us unique 
Among other deucedcly reptile,
knavish fibre is interposed in our coldblooded.

Like an eagle, they target from distance,
their legs is full of piercing nails
Which torn our flesh in their fiendish nest,,
With their incisive mouth, they feed their young ones.
Yet they aren't king of birds.

Battle have been drawn
Twixt the empyrean and tellurian,
it was bad days for science for tellurian,
Because boneless is it, but venomous.

With unimaginable power the weak tellurian
Coiled round the empyrean whose wing 
Is communicating with air
Are we not like hawk and snake?

The strong wreck the weak,
Their piercing nails oppress
Our depressed beingness,
Their hope is to feed our flesh
To their wingless children.
They want to reign in the firmament and tellurian.

Are we not hawk and snake?
We live on land,
striking the foot of men,
Deceit reigns in our heart.
We spit poison to heartbroken 
brethren,
Yet we blamed hawk for slaying us.

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...
