Be Real

-

A friend of mine,
Was a friend to lie.
With he, he wine and dine,
Even by lie he lie.

In their honeymoon,
They sent dust on exile.
With their stubborn shoe,
Looking stern and agail.

They, to the neighbours,
Tends a companion.
But when leak, was their odour,
The neighbour's palm couldn't resist the venom.

Must you lie?
Or by truth vice cry?
Be to yourself raw,
And see if to helpers you're not drawn.

Motunrayo Emiola “I’m afraid” She said to me, holding back her tears. She was restraining that because of me : I could sense that.     Though I have been the only son who'd given her tough times : at the level of vocations, yet she took more delights in confiding in me than in my brothers.    “Nothing would happen to you, Mum” I promised.    I was girding myself with borrowed courage – the courage I didn’t have, lent it for her. I could sense the despair, sadness, the confusion of it all was overwhelming. But she didn’t seem to believe my words, she was indeed tired of staying in her house, she was afraid, yes, twas written all over her. Then, I began to think : is this how ones faith diminish? Is this how the boiling torrent of her undaunted faith cool off?     I remembered, yes, back then. When the trial was at the apex, when an evil arrow was pointed at my brother and I. Yes,my brother was dead, yes, tough I was unconscious too : I had taken two drips. He – my brother – ha

Nollywood Movies: The Extension of Prostitution

Often times have I tried to ignore this, but the more I tried, the more it become alarming. Why can't we just act movie and know the reason of what we're doing? Why can't we just act movie to orientate and not arouse strong sexual urges?   This will be my first movie analysis, and I'll be doing it, paying close attention to the motion driving this.   I discovered that majority of Nollywood movies (especially English ones) are not guarded in contents. I'll explain every point I mention in order to avoid ambiguity or confusion.   Before I come about this, I've made a juxtapositions of Bollywood,Hollywood and Nollywood movies and have seen where Nollywood movie is getting it wrong. It has happened that, none of our English Nollywood movies are acted without sexual arousal scenes. What I've noticed is that, if either Bollywood or Hollywood would produce a romance movie, they'll be specific, indicating it as romance. But if Nollywood would produce a movie

Just A Thought What do you call someone who loves someone who he has not seen (not even the picture)... Like connecting through hearts. Just one word to qualify him. Answers were... 1. Stupidity 2. Foolishness 3. Optimist 4. Faith(Biblically) 5. Spiritual Connection   This is the truth.   That's what we're. We're the folk up there. We proclaimed to believe in God we've not Seen, not even his picture.    Atheists call us stupid, foolish.     Agnostics call us Optimist     Bible call it Faith     Spiritual Leaders call it, Spiritual Connection. All these doesn't matter. What matter is what we call ourselves.     Same as the lover. What people say about him doesn't matter. What matter is what he say about himself.     Thanks. Josh Berry. Ancestral Pen. Just a thought.
