GOSPEL OF BEDRIDDEN LAND.

Blindfolded in shackles of poverty,
Roaming homeless on street of hunger like a prodigal son
Yet we claimed "Giant of Africa"
Giant of Africa incarcerated in imperialism and ignorant.
Sadness and agony accomplished our daily bread,
we are happy to take it down with cholera water,
our dwelling place is habitable for the pigs
and our health decays like dead cadaver.

Our right to education is a war,
Strikes upon strike like a lazy bone,
Our pedagogs are pinned to poverty,
they work from hands to mouths,
How can home of seven, feed without
hypertension?
When tune of election sounds, Our leaders we say, "we are the way, the truth and the light, for no citizens shall have good life accept by voting us".

Friends of common men ride on our wounds,
And made our rights seems like gift from government.
On the scale of impartiality, justice died but his grave is known to no one till date!
He left common men to battle with robust parasites.

They become the parasite eating the fruit of our labour.
Now!I understand why "The labor of our hero
past shall not be in vain" 
Futures of tomorrow are turned into panhandlers on the street 
while some are poliThiefcians' dogs 
biting their fellow poor men.

Lights at the end of tunnel turned blur and gloomy, 
no hope of better future.
What happened to our mouthpieces?
Through the help of gratification, the truth is
thrown in bottomless pit,
Voices of the nation sing praises to parasites 
And their love for penny supercede the oath they bespoken.
Truthfulness becomes a dead man in
unknown grave.

Truly, deficiency can'solved,
but hand in hand with no sense of tribalism,
With single-mindedness, we can eliminate poverty
That bedridden our land like sovereign demon. How?
Let's start sustainable program that provide employment.

Provide free education to get away from dearth And make our healthcare center anti-illness center.
With unity, let's put dignity and sense of responsibility
in our veins and make honesty our watchword.
With these, we will reclaim our "GIANT OF
AFRICA!"

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.

Our Blessed POLYTECHNIC That Nurtures Talents, Fulfills Dreams, Destinies, Hopes And Aspirations. We Love You For You Are The Haven Of Bright Mind With Great Ideas.

Her latest feat as the best fellow at the 2024 Young Communication Fellowship, organized by PR Nigeria in partnership with Image Marketer Promotion (IMP), adds another feather to her cap.

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...
