“Oooh! Save us from old wines”





  “Oooh! Save us from old wines”



He once headed the council of chiefs
Together they became a gang of thieves
Pilfering the commonwealth
Eating the gains and drinking the peoples sweat

By time and chance they became ousted
And the community witnessed some rest
Many; thinking they had accepted their wrongs of acute misdemeanor,
Went on honeymoon spree.

Alas!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gbenga, kiku and the rest erupts from their hiding tunnel,
Stretching forth fingers to the air trying to make atonement
Even baba sanjo secretly manipulates
He just can’t get his hands off the national chocolate

Every four 365, the brethren keeps buying new skins
Hoping to pour in new wine
But the vendor betrays,
He still secretly brings in the expired wines
And somewhat mixes it with some drop of new ones 
But when the assumed new wine gets into the belly
Some aches starts telling
But the belly owner tells the belly to bear,
That the aches’ only got another four 365 to stay there

Some bellies and the owners submit to death,
Some submit to bear,

But all in all; a Man called the greatest
Says; least ye keep pouring old wines into new skins and they keep bursting
Pour new wines into new skins and preserve them

Oooh brethren rise up to the call and separate the old from the new
Lest our skins keeps tearing.

THE SOCIETY AS A CAUSE AND SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF DRUG ADDICTION

BACKGROUND Society is a network of persons interacting within a geographically sovereign area, with unique culture, social institutions, values, Norms, roles, and sanctions governing each other’s behavior. This phenomenon is definitely the basis of individual behavior and personality development as deeply believed by Sociologist. American Sociologist C. Wright mills; stated that to understand the nature of individual behavior, the best context to place the individual is the social context/environment; then we will understand the reasons behind his/her behavioral patterns and the “individual uniqueness” this is the core foundation of his concept of sociological imagination. “ Neither the life of an individual nor the history of a society can be understood without understanding both ” C. Wright Mills (1959). The Society has without a doubt been the platform for the offshoot of great developmental strides: in technology, science, literature, in culture, in globalization, i...

SAVING NIGERIA’S EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM FROM A PITFALL

SAVING NIGERIA’S EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM FROM A PITFALL BY ABISOLA AKINOLA Prior to this era, the educational institution was momentous and teachers were much revered. In fact, education was so valuable that even a primary six graduate could secure a job. Then, parents would encourage their children to be educated in order not to end up like them. They saw education as the best patrimony they could give their children. The society's present underestimation of educational achievements in this present day is not deliberate. There are several reasons attached to this: The educational structure and its achievement in Nigeria is deficient, it is not what it used to be. The world has moved on beyond the educational system practised here. It has come to the point that a graduate might not get a good job because what he/she is being taught in schools now is different from what is being practised in both the corporate and business world alike. Another i...

THE JOURNEY

Life’s a journey Trail the path; Though you will walk through the bush that’s thorny, Even sail through the sea that’s stormy And in darkness; you will need that Light It’s the Word that speaks right So you don’t become overwhelmed by that plight Just be led by that Captain, Whose faith can help you move mountains He will guard you By Him, the Earth was laid as a mat And the heavens; spread as Blanket Get your mind ready You will need to guide it steady Seal it; from those who will fill it up with perfidy Open it to Imports from the Word of Life; it will help you achieve your destiny Today could bring you rain; Enjoy quite well with discernment and Ears to the Spirit Coz Tomorrow might yield drought, and your soul could grow weary So be wise along with enough Simplicity. And note this; mind thy companions, the company of wolves are multiplied Search among the hills, down the greens; behold their; a company of sheep They will l...
